No Way Am I Leaving

So, the other weekend I was at my best friend's house and we ended up talking about make-up and how some days it felt too much just to wake up and spend the time to put on a face. I believe in spending the time to put on make-up but naturally there are days when the idea of putting on make-up and having to take it all off later is... exhausting. So we'll probably go the day without wearing some. But then we spoke about some beauty rituals we just can't do without. For her, she has to get her nails done and her eyebrows done. She can't stand looking down at her hands and seeing her nails naked and messed up. She also can't stand her eyebrows being unkempt and with no shape. It's one of those things that she'll always take the time and money to do.
I pretty much agree with her. I absolutely cannot stand leaving the house without my eyebrows done. I do them my self so I don't have to worry about sneaking around so no one won't see me without them done. There's just something so off putting when my eyebrows aren't done. Eyebrows are such a crucial feature..even if they have to be drawn in. I always take the time to clean them. I feel much more confident with my eyebrows done. But that isn't the only thing I have to have look done. I paint my nails constantly. I love looking down and seeing them colored. It makes me feel more put together. I was also blessed with naturally french-manicure looking nails (I'm not sure how else to describe them,haha) but when I decide not to paint them, the tips are white and the bottom light pink. I can sometimes just put a clear coat over them and no one but me can tell the difference-they look done. I've added two more things to my Must Do Before I Get Out the House Because There is No Way I Am Leaving the House Without Doing It list is curling my lashes and putting some color on my lips. When I feel tired or look tired I found that curling my lashes can help widen the look of my eyes and help me look more awake. Also, my lips have been pale lately so I love adding some color to them and since it's fall I usually add a berry color before I head out. So there you go, a few things I have to do before going out!
