Selective Spring Cleaning
I woke up and was just in one of those moods… and not just ANY cleaning mode, I mean sure, I did the obvious stuff. The vacuuming, the uncluttering, the laundry…
But this was roll-up-your-sleeves-and-clean/organize mode. Wash your make up brushes and organize the black hole makeup bag/drawer/bin/purses mode. It's serious business.
I rounded up everything that had managed to go rogue: every tube of lipstick, every bobby pin, hair tie, tube of sample mascara… and I'M EXHAUSTED. I mean, you'd think with all the make up that I ended up with, I walk around looking like Ru Paul. (I don't.)
I then measured out a piece of craft paper, organized all of the makeup and make myself a guide to stick to. This was actually a lot of fun because I got to doodle… and while I was doodling, I said, "Self, you can do this. You can stay organized. It's DRAWN OUT FOR YOU." I give it two days. But, it's a nice thought… organization.
I didn't realize how disgusting makeup really is until I took a paper towel and some wood polish to my vanity. Based on the amount of elbow grease I had to put in to get the surface color of my vanity back, I find it a bit difficult to believe that a little rain/sweat/anything short of hydrochloric acid is able to ruin a full face of make up. Add that to the list of things I'll never make sense of.
