Clara is a boobie-a-holic, and loves watching me do my makeup. I set up the tripod and grabbed some shots of how it goes most days when I do my hair and makeup with Clara. If she isn't wanting to put lip-gloss on, she wants boob while she watches me put my makeup on. It's actually super sweet. I love being a breastfeeding momma. I know there's so many rich benefits to it for her and for me. The memories created here are priceless. I have so many memories watching my own mother put on makeup, and having my sweet little daughter watch me now is endearing. I can't wait to make more makeup memories with her as she grows up. It's just fun to dress up and feel good. That's what make up is about, my sweet girl. Never do it to cover you up because you feel poorly about yourself for one reason or another. Wear it to have fun, to express yourself, and feel good. You're beautiful no matter what. However old you are, whatever you look like, whenever you might be reading this, I want you to know just how loved you are and how absolutely beautiful you are.     Facebook post I wrote on 2/23/17. "My mom went back to WA Tuesday evening. I miss her so much. I took a couple of photos of us together. I thought I would share one with all of you. We had fun playing with LipSense while she was here. She is so supportive of me investing in this business, and she refused to let me gift her anything or discount anything, she bought a kit and two extra colors, and a pearl gloss. She loves the product. When when we went shopping she told people I sold it, and I handed out a lot of cards. She will talk to anyone. In fact, when I was around 10 she sold Avon. I remember making the goodie bags with her. We would put catalogs in a plastic bag with lipstick samples. I remember just hundreds of these little lipstick samples spread out across the table as we sorted through them and dropped them one by one into bags, and I remember smelling the catalogs because there were perfume sheets in them. Then we would drive around door to door giving them to people, leaving them hanging on doors, and then going with her to deliver orders. I had fun with her doing that, and I remember feeling proud of her. These type of businesses are so good for women, and I love how empowering it can be. From my experience, it's so good for moms, like her, like me. I feel good being a part of the Senegence company. Some of my favorite memories of my mom are watching her do her makeup. I can remember even being so little, probably like kindergarten, maybe even smaller and laying on her bed on my belly, my face propped up in my hands watching her put on blue eyeshadow, which she had since high school, by that point it was probably 6 years old, and then a few years later she gave it to me. There wasn't much left in the eyeshadow compact, but it was her favorite, and she didn't use it much, she wanted to keep the color. I felt so special when she gave me that. (This was the 80s, so you can imagine it was pretty blue lol). I held onto it for a long time too, Many years, past my high school years. You create memories with makeup, there are passing fads, there are friends, mom and daughter bonds, tips and tricks that get passed down generation to generation, and that is what makeup should be about; fun, expression, creating memories, and feeling good. Let makeup be an extension of who you are, not cover up who you are. I love you mom. Thank you for doing everything you could for us kids. Thank you for being a fun and loving grandma to my children." |
