A Love Letter To Busy Days, Change, and Naked Wild West (P.S. Expired Joe Joe’s Won’t Kill You)

Monday is here! Are we all groaning? Think about it…if we had Monday off after a long weekend we’d be groaning on Tuesday so, really, just embrace Monday!

I hope you’re having a productive day. Mine is super busy. I’m sorry for the lack of posts but work has been operation chaos lately. There’s a lot going on! But I’m not complaining. There are so many people out of work at the moment that I feel very blessed to be busy and stressed out. It’s a good thing.

Change is brewing for me…I hate change. I really HATE it. But I’m trying hard to be an adult about it this week. After a year and a half at home my boyfriend is finally headed back to Cupertino after Memorial Day. As some of you know he travels back and fourth between NY and CA quite often. I do the same but he does it far more than I do. It’s going to be really, really hard saying goodbye and I know I’m going to be a big baby and sob, slobber, and snot all over him at the airport but I wanna try really hard to be strong about it. He’s been my safety net, my protector, the person who’s belt I grab and who’s back I stand behind when I’m feeling scared…. This pandemic has taken away the confident and strength I’ve always had as a woman and has made me a complete whiny little kid. I’m slowly starting to get back to feeling comfortable being around people again which makes me optimistic about handling life again on my own! And of course, texting and facetiming him ever five minutes when something goes wrong….like that time I found Peppermint Joe Joe’s in the pantry and wasn’t sure if I should eat them or not so I had to interrupt his work day, text my best friend, and Facetime my sister asking if they were safe to eat! Who knows if expired Joe Joe’s could kill you?!?!?!?!? I didn’t get COVID but an expired Joe Joe would do me in because I HAVE THAT KIND OF BAD LUCK!

Makeup makes an appearance in today’s love letter…..! I’m having a love sesh with Urban Decay Naked Wild West Eyeshadow Palette lately….! Hmmm how unexpected! I thought I was going to hate it but I’m digging all these dark, sultry browns paired up with pops of teal and blue. I’ve been using this thing on the daily for the past several weeks and the more I use it the more I fall under its spell!

Standoff needs to be a single. I don’t care how you do it Urban Decay but I need this as a single. It’s a great color wash and it accents my highbrow perfectly!

I have a look with it on Instagram but I’ll have a more detailed review soon! Did anyone buy it? Are you loving it? Do share!

I hope you embrace any change happening in your life right now. I hope you’re strong enough to face it! I hope I’ve inspired you to break out Naked Wild West and do a look for it. And don’t worry, I don’t think expired Joe Joe’s will kill you but let’s agree to not tempt the hands of fate deal?
