Let's talk about gel manicures, since y'all seem to be curious or want to talk about them or whatever.
GEL MANICURES!!
Okay, so I started doing gel manicures on myself, like, 2 years ago or something. I heard people chattering about them, and was intrigued/skeptical. The snag for me, initially, was that it seemed to be a salon service, and I just really don't like people touching me. I will get haircuts, but I don't want to go get a manicure or pedicure or a massage or any of those things where someone is touching on my body parts.
At the time, there seemed to be 2 options in terms of gel polish: Shellac and Gelish. I chose to get a setup to do Gelish because they had way more colors, and way better colors (at least at that time.) At first I got a big old school UV light, in case I hated it, because the little LED lights were way more expensive. Once I decided I liked gel polish, I got the LED light, and it actually was a good move on my part because by time I was ready to get the LED, it was way cheaper than it was initially.

Foundation/Contest/Other Stuff
A recurring theme here seems to be that I bear a striking resemblance to a corpse they fish out of the Olentangy, and I seem to attract the attention of other ladies who also have a deathly pallor.
I don't mind being pale. In fact, it is pretty intentional. I tan if I go in the sun without sunscreen, and when I was a kid, I was blonde and toasty-colored. I stopped sunning myself when I started coloring my hair dark, because I thought it would look weird. Now I just avoid the sun and use sunscreen because I want to get the most of my face before I start looking like a raisin.

HELLO PEOPLE/Drugstore Lip Stuff/Gel Strips
I trust y'all had a decent holiday... Mine was alright. I tell you what, though, the transition from the laying-on-the-couch-style holiday break and the my-kid-has-no-school-and-is-bored-in-my-face-while-I-am-trying-to-secretly-make-her-dreams-come-true-style is a bit much. That shit is over the top.
The elephant in the room is obviously the month long hiatus on this blog... I was set to post in mid-December, but then there was that shooting and it seemed gauche/callous/yucky to post that day about vain stuff, then the holidays popped up with the combo of extreme busy-ness and no school/childcare, and now here we are! I'm back on the regular weekly/sometimes more often than weekly schedule now, though. I got some posts planned and some videos, and I am going to have a contest but I need to think more about how I am going to run it, since there aren't any cosmetic company people telling me what to do and how to run it and what the prize is gonna be. Actually, I already know what the prize is gonna be, cause I already bought it, but I need to plan the contest itself. If anyone has any great ideas, feel free to share them, otherwise I am just going to pull something out of my ass.
SO! I'm just gonna do a quick-n-dirty post about STUFF!!
