- That feeling of ultimate release right after you remove a hair tie from a slicked back high pony (especially after a really long day, yowza).
- That feeling of relief when you run out of your favorite [INSERT PRODUCT HERE] and you know that you already have a backup stashed away for this exact moment!
- Why having a separate, special towel just for your hair is a total non-negotiable.
- Why it’s essential to have several different types of combs and brushes in your hair arsenal. Wide-toothed comb, teasing comb, paddle brush, boar’s hair brush… Honestly, the last time I only owned a single brush was when I was eight or nine, ha ha ha!
- That every single black hair tie you own will eventually go missing, so don’t get too attached to them.
- That there will always be another taupe eyeshadow, and even though you don’t need another taupe eyeshadow, you really, really want that new taupe eyeshadow. ALWAYS.
- That weird pull you feel to do hella complicated makeup looks — like a double-winged liner with a cut crease — when you only have, like, five minutes to put your face on. Why do I always choose the hardest thing? LOL!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

P.S. It’s raining here! And it’s California! Will wonders never cease? Just when I thought it might never actually rain here again, it does! It’s so nice to hear the pit-pattering of rain on the roof and see raindrops on the windows. 🌧️❤️🤗

Congratulations on the rain – that is such great news for all of you! It’s raining here, which is not good news since we don’t really need it. And it’s giving me a headache. But, it’ll be snow soon, so I’m not complaining! 🙂 I laughed at your #7. It reminds me of my friends who is famous for “I have 5 minutes? I think I’ll start washing my walls”. HAHA!
Like this simple but pretty, clean natural look.
What did you use to achieve the look ?
YES please tell us what makeup you used🙏
I can relate absolutely everything but the brushes. I have one, a tangle-teezer, and I don‘t use anything else.
Also congrats on the rain, it must be much needed in California
Not taupe shadow but pale cool pinks/lilacs…how many is too many? Can’t count that high! All other items – you’ve been hanging out in my house…..
Yay for rain! I think we’re finally cooling down here in Michigan – 70s and mosquitoes are not what we’re supposed to have this time of year!
I almost never brush my hair unless I’m attempting to blow it out straight, but the bit on black hair ties is REAL.
