Make up Makes Everything Better

Have I mentioned that I have some of the best girlfriends in the world? Well I do. We've been friends for well over 20 years now, some of us go back to being babies together! We have been through it all, and now, we are grown up, some married, some with babies, and we are still just as close as we were 20 years ago. In fact we just had a girls weekend together in Wilmington, NC last month. I miss them, I miss them all dearly.

And today when I got a package in the mail from one of them, well my day got a bit brighter. One of my friends works for a little company called Bare Escentuals Makeup. Yup, that's the one. You might have seen her on QVC a few times? Most of the time if we need something or if we mention things we like, she will surprise us with them. Yes, all of us. She really is too sweet. And well, for a stay-at-home mom, who works part-time, runs after a 2-year-old and doesn't get to dress up much, it's the best gift ever. I really don't think she will ever realize how much these little things mean. Anyway, today, during nap-time, I played with makeup like I was 16 again. And I loved EVERY-SINGLE-MINUTE! So thank you to my friends who no matter what can brighten up my day.

Whether it's an e-mail about Swedish Fish, a phone call or a text message, a picture of someone's adorable baby, a memory from December 13th way back when, or a little package of makeup, they know how to brighten my day. I love you...and miss you all so terribly much. xoxo
