Taking Advantage

I am the friend at the bar that asks to use your chap stick, your powder, your tampons, whatever you may have in your purse. Why? Because I don’t have it in mine. These ideas are for those of you who can’t remember to bring your purse out with you, let alone the proper “necessities”.

Wrong Aide
Running out of the house too fast and you forgot to put on blush or god forbid, deodorant!
Stop at your nearest pharmacy and “sample” their items.

Tip for your Tips
Break a nail while you’re out? Ask for a pack of matches from the bar or your nearest gas station.

Multipurpose Make up
Ever stop in somewhere to say hi to a friend and get stuck there for the night with NO MAKEUP ON??
Work with what you have in your bag.

Lipstick: 
Wear it as a blush and eye shadow

Mascara:
You can use it as eyeliner and eye shadow when you apply it with your pinkie finger.

Foundation and Lipstick:
Mix the foundation with the lipstick to create a lighter matte color on your lips and use the lipstick to do dramatic checks.

Pussy Problems

My mom once told me a story about our first family cat, Phyllis. Phyllis had a good life in a good home, but there was something missing: confidence. She was always hiding in the corner or behind the couch when people were around.

To help Phyllis become more confident, she would put her on top of the refrigerator every day for one hour. After several weeks of being up high and looking down upon the rest of us, Phyllis became more confident and felt like “the queen of the hill”.

We always say that animals are a lot like humans; therefore humans must be a lot like animals.

Moral of the story…if you are feeling insecure during the holidays because you ate too much turkey or your mother in law said your casserole was bland, go sit on your roof or stand on top of a hill. Maybe it’ll work for you.
