I think I'm in a beauty rut. I need to shake things up a bit, step outside the box. Prehaps it's because I don't really go out anymore. I mean, I do go out, I'm not trapped inside my house or anything. But I mean go out as in out on the town. Go watch some live music. Hit the local watering hole with friends. Not having any plans and just seeing where the night takes us.
Things are obviously different now. We have our sweet little Cub now, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. But I'm human and I do miss having more nights out, causing trouble and letting lose. There is nothing more fun to me then hanging out with Rob and my crew and doing what we do. It feels like it's been forever and I'm aching for a night of grown up fun. I could sit here and say I don't miss it because I'm a Mom now. But hello, I'm still me. I'm still G. And I still want to break out every once in a while.
I used to love the whole delicious process when it came to hitting the town. One of my favoitre parts was the ritual of getting ready. Shower, wash hair, blow dry said hair straight, pick out an outfit, and another and another and another before going back to the first one I picked out. Doing my make up, picking out my jewelry. Having a pre drink before drinking. It's what got me in the zone and relished it. And then as a bonus came the evening ahead.
I'm not a big fan of my hair these days. It does nothing i want it to. When I wear it curly, it frizzes and when I wear it straight, it's limp. And frizzy. My hair officially hates me. I want to change it up. I mean, really change it up. Cut it really short on the sides and in the back but longer on top. I would have to blow it out because it would look totally ridiculous curly. I could wear it with a long bang, or back kind of like a elegant mohawk. It would be rad. And then i would hate it after a couple of days and wish i had never cut it. But it's only hair, right?
I have tons of make up. back when I had money to spare i was slightly, and by slightly I mean completely obsessed, with make up. I would make lists all day long of different lipsticks, eyeliners and blush that i would read about and go on a splurge adventure. As i result, I have a whole crap load of the stuff. the only problem, I don't really wear any of it. I usually stick to my basic bronzer and mascara with chapstick routine. Maybe I need to break out of the naked lip thing and start wearing my pinks and reds for no other reason then I'm going to work, or the grocery store.
So I guess my goal is to step it up a notch and see what happens. Will i actually find the time and energy to do it? Maybe. Maybe not. But thinking about it is the first step.

I remember when my boy was just a baby and how much I missed the same things. Don't fret darling! Do it, splash some red on those lips for work! Doll it up for the grocery store! I used to do the same and it does make you feel good :)
ReplyDeleteAnd before you know it your babe will be all grown up and asking for sleepovers at his friend's house and you'll have every opportunity for nights on the town. Except that you will appreciate them that much more ;)

The thing about being a mom is that it's the only job that is always really hard, but always for different reasons, and always the most amazing and rewarding thing you will do. I see the little smile on your boy and that is proof enough that you are rocking it!
