In Which I Win a Battle

Since the day I started wearing make up, I have fought a long and hard battle against my eyelashes.
You might know what I’m talking about.
My eyelashes are thin and blonde. Short and wispy.
And mascara doesn’t usually do a lot.
I even tried false lashes, which made me look like spiders were attacking my eyes.
Today, I have won the battle.
I heard that Maybelline’s new Falsies mascara was good, so I decided to try some.
Upon returning home from Wal-mart
(and, of course, opening the package)
I realized that I bought brownish black instead of blackest black.
This morning, I decided to use it anyways.
I mean, brown is supposed to make blue eyes stand out, right?
Well, this stuff is magical.
The brush is bigger than I’m used to, but it works, people!
My eyelashes look great!
I win!

Morocco Here I Come!


I am feeling the desperate need to have my own little flat and decorate it in a chic Moroccan style. I love the floor, I love pillows, and I love bright colors and intense design. Why yes, I think that this is the perfect style for me while I am on my own. A brilliant idea.

Thank you Finola Inger for these brilliant suggestions.

I can always switch to my perfect Pottery Barn style when the babies start coming.
