[2018] 336/365: Good Deed of the Day

It’s been a lazy weekend but when June mentioned her coworker helps her family and others by a fundraiser for the people back in Vietnam, I jumped to join her. Partly because food was involved. They were selling set pho bowls and congee with pigs blood for ten dollars each. We went and brought back four phos and one congee to have with my parents.

Everything tasted better than I thought it would and I wouldn’t mind going out for another bowl or two again since they do this pretty often. To do a good deed is always a good feeling but being fed just makes it that much better. I understand now why people pay (over) a hundred dollars a plate at galas for fancy foods.

[2018] 335/365: The Ho Depot

This is the first Saturday in a LONG time where I didn’t have any plans and I welcomed it. I feel so recharged and happy to have time to myself where I didn’t have to paint on a face. I did some art and played some music and just enjoyed my hobbies. I even had time to put on a face of makeup and enjoy crazy colors I usually wouldn’t do.

After dinner I went with the parentals to Home Depot … Or in this case the Ho Depot. Too funny. I couldn’t help take a snap of it.

Today also marks five years since we’ve taken Rizzo home to live with us. He is still as cute as when I first adopted him and he still follows me everywhere and cuddles with me every night. My main dude. I love you!

Photoshoot with Mallory

Last Friday of the month means one thing at work! Free chicken and waffles at the Breakfast Klub. Everything was so freaking delicious.

Work went by pretty slow and when lunch time hit I was all down to go out with Vicky and Fahad for lunch at Mango Tree. We met up with two others who I’ve never seen before and we all had amazing conversations.

After work I went home and took a small nap since I was only able to get two hours in at night. I went over to Mallory’s where she had a neighbor, Sindy, over who looks about our age. I find out she’s Venezuelan and proceeds to tell me how to get myself one although 90% of them are players.

John came home, Sindy left, and we headed out to dinner. John drove us to Fish City Grill. JJ was fussy most of the time so we did the best we could to enjoy the night out before heading back to their house.

John sat with JJ while they ate the rest of their dinner and Mallory and I had a Snapchat photoshoot. The middle face swap picture made us laugh so hard especially because her eyes disappeared when we switched faces. It was great getting this moment with her. It’s been about a month since we’ve hung out like this. Much needed.

Rainy Days and Packages Galore

We went to the storage facility inithe afternoon and I thoroughly enjoyed the rainy ride. It wasn’t until I had to drive home though. Luckily it wasn’t as bad since I left a bit earlier.

[2018] 333/365: Christmas Came Early

I came home to an early Christmas. Almost everything Sissy and I bought from Black Friday weekend showed up. Dad said that he’s going to start charging us money having to bring the packages in.

[2018] 332/365: Playing with Makeup

Guys … I fogot how much I missed playing with makeup. I stopped when Scruffy would tell me I looked fine without it.

But man oh man. Did y’all know they sell BH Cosmetics at Ulta? I had a huge eyeshadow palette from the same company and always loved it. I went to get my brows done and came out with a new one – 15 eyeshadows, 3 highlighters and 3 bronzers. I am already in love with it and wished I wasn’t so poor. I would have bought a few more. It just might be my new travel buddy!

Now I just need to fix the horrible blemishes and spots on my face and I’d be golden. Left is with a filter and what I wished my skin would look like. Right is without a filter but with makeup on using the new palette. You can’t see it well because my lighting sucks but it looks much better in person. Now I just need to grow some eyelashes.

Sigh, cannot wait for tomorrow. I got a BB Cushion during Black Friday shopping and I’m hoping it is good enough to add to my daily routine. Fingers crossed.
