The Struggle is Real

So I have been all aboard the struggle bus lately. I took about a week and a half break from being fabulous and I think I'm ready to get myself back into gear. I think I mentally needed that break. It's hard business being so fantastic all the time. (just joking). But seriously, I feel like I should have taken baby steps. This is a little difficult to jump in all at once.

Steve and I were grocery shopping yesterday and he decided that it is time that we try eating healthier. I should have seen this coming. The warning signs were so clear. He has been cutting back his portions at dinner, and when I suggested Cicic's on Thursday he just have me a dirty look and made some tofu tenders instead. However I think I was finally slapped into reality when we were grocery shopping yesterday. As I went to pick up a thing of queso he took it out of my hand, put the queso back on the shelf, and picked up a bag of lettuce instead. So this morning I am looking at a cup of 100% all natural orange juice instead of hot cocoa with whipped cream, creamer, and sprinkles. The struggle is so real guys, I think I am about to lose my poor mind.

In other news, I know I have been complaining about mascara lately. To me it's annoying, and sometimes the thought of having to put on mascara is what stops me from wearing make-up altogether that day. So I was reading that false eyelashes are a lot easier to put on (once you get the hang of it) and take way less time. So I bought a pair and tried them out last night. I only went grocery shopping with them on. I didn't want to do a big event where I would see a lot of people, because in case they looked horrible I didn't want to scare the little children along my way.

I think for the first time trying them on they didn't turn out to bad. What do you guys think?

 

In case anyone was wondering, it was like 110 times faster to whip these babies on rather than doing coat after coat of mascara. However I was slightly disappointed. There are not many things that as a woman I can confidently shout out to the world about myself, however let me tell you, I have some good eyelashes. I should have known that falsies weren't going to look that much more dramatic on me. Just about every time I wear mascara, strangers ask me how I get my eyelashes so full, and if my secret is falsies. So considering I already have full eyelashes, all the falsies did was save me 15 minutes. I know that is an unnatural amount of time to spend on mascara, but when you spend as much time trying to get your eye to stop watering from the countless wand pokes to the eye as I do, fifteen minutes of mascara is a good day.

 

Here is a side by side of falsies vs. my real eyelashes. The bottom is my real eyelashes.
