askye at 02:43pm on 28/06/2003I got all girly yesterday. Well, actually I'm rather girly. But I got my eyebrows waxed for the first time.
I bought more makeup, which I ahve to see if I can return because the colors weren't right when I put them on. The lipstick wasn't red it was more pinkish.
I bought some clothes from Lane Bryant. Not really girly clothes. But I tried on these pumps at Hot Topic. I wanted them SO BAD. But they don't make half sizes. What the fuck is up with that?
The 8s were too small, my poor toes were pinched and the 9s were too big. They were cute, with a little bow and ankle strap and 3" heels. Which means that I can't wear ANY shoes from Hot Topic/Torrid. Which sucks because I don't know where else to get shoes like those. And I really wanted the 40s style glam shoes as well.
I'm still trying to figure out how I'm doing my measurements wrong. I gained about 10 lbs in the last month. Not that I've been on a scale but I can tell just by the way I look. I need to start walking and I can't figure out if I should order a size 2X or what. Anyway the dress I really wanted on clearance is gone.
I also really want a casual black skirt or pants but I can't seem to find them. I need to go hit a few more Goodwills. I've checked all the consignment shops. I can't think of anywhere else to go.
Losing weight would make shopping easier. Either that or living in a better town.

BTW, I have NOT forgotten about your cookies. But SF has been under a four-day heatwave - it hit ninety degrees in the house yesterday, and that was with fans going.
So I'm waiting being able to contemplate turning on the oven without roasting myself.

Not that I had really bushy eyebrows but it was just startling.
My eyebrows look great! My eyes look much bigger, my eyes have been described as "hooded" and now I can see more of my eye lids. Also people tell me that it looks like I'm frowning a lot. My mouth has kind of a downward turn to it. But it's so weird, it looks less like I'm frowning. I'm not sure why except maybe because my eyes look more open.
I'll have to get pictures and see if I can find a decent picture for a "Before".

For future reference, taking ibuprofen an hour or so before you have your brows waxed helps with the redness. Because it's an anti-inflammatory.

It's amazing what a difference it makes -- something that seems so minor.
