Why I am not a makeup blogger

I’ve been a blissfully happy Birchbox member for over a year now. I enjoy the samples and it’s just fun to get a $10 box of surprises each month. So far I’ve discovered two new fragrances, a BB cream that works, some decadent hand cream, and a nifty brown liquid eyeshadow that travels well.

Last week I wanted to take a photo to show the orangey-coraly lip shade that I’m debating getting a full size of. But I wanted it to be kind of artsy. Like the makeup bloggers do.

I ended up with THIS beauty…

AIEEEEEEEEEE!
AIEEEEEEEEEE!

Which does call to mind a movie classic…

I am obviously not a photography blogger either.

If you are interested in getting your own Birchbox each month, this is a link that’ll earn me a few BB points.

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Well, that happened.
