When I was around 7 years old, this curly haired dude with a limp came into my life. In the summer, we had our morning trips to his cousins tavern, which was closed during the day, so he could either work or shoot the shit. Not sure which, but I was given quarters to play in the little arcade that was in there until it was time for us to go so I didn’t care. My mom, him and I took drives in a big old, green Lincoln to do weekly shops and stuff. He was into his cars. In fact..I got yelled at all the time when I would drive up home and my car would be the dirtiest thing ever. He was the closest thing to a father that I had since my biological father was never there. Even though we had our ups and downs, he still remained in my life after my mom and his relationship ended. (I question whether it REALLY ended most of the time. lol) He still kept up with me and called me on my birthday each year just to stay in touch. In a way, I took that for granted. I never thought he truly cared until recently when I was one of the first calls made to make me aware of being in the hospital due to COVID-19. Anyway…thank you for being in my life John L. Peoples. I will never get the chance to tell you that. Rest in Peace.

A couple of favorites
A few months ago before the craziness that we are now in, I went on a small shopping spree at the Shoppes of Atlanta. The past year, I have been trying not to purchase new make up simply because I would like to use up all of the items that I have. That didn’t stop me from stopping into The Cosmetics Store. It also didn’t stop me from buying two new favorites that I added to my already full makeup drawers. I know! I am my own enabler. 🙂
I have been wearing this lipstick and blush pairing regularly since I got them. The lipstick is by Mac and named Stay Curious. It is one of their Powder Kiss lipsticks. I absolutely love it. It came out early last year I believe, but since I was in a no buy mindset, I had no idea it existed. It has a matte look which is my favorite, but not drying. It’s a very flattering color and I imagine it would be flattering on any skin tone. I usually wear it with my chestnut lip liner but it’s really not necessary. I can just throw it on and it looks great.
The blush I purchased is by Becca. The color is Tigerlily. It’s gorgeous and luminous. I love blushed but just don’t go through them very quickly. Knowing that, I’m glad that I seem to be using this one a lot and can actually see an indentation from use. It almost makes me feel less guilty from purchasing it.
That’s just my rambled for today. Everyone…take care and stay safe and healthy.
Til next time…….
