If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, you've no doubt already seen/heard my special-event-attendance woes leading up to this weekend; I live a hectic life full of important things like reorganizing my spreadsheet or inventorying my sheet masks, not to mention writing a blog post every weekend and working 60 hours a week at my day job. This means social outings that require the trappings of non-hermit life such as well-behaved skin, makeup, and spanx is more than I can handle.
Having had to do it a few weekends in a row has me ready to retire from human contact until at least midsummer. Stress and troubled skin is a bad combination, but weddings are one of those events that you can't really dodge, so I took advantage of our out-of-state drive and loaded our car trunk with (I kid you not) a cardboard box full of skincare, makeup, and sheet masks. Being 'ready' was beyond my means, but this was as close as it was going to get.
I'm actually already a few hours overdue to be asleep for an early morning workday, so this post is going to be brief (ahahaha no) and terrifying; I'm going to include a demonstration of the cushion + (accidental) highlighter on my skin.
I've also finally figured out how to properly create a linked table of contents (I think), so you can now just jump to the section you want, woo!
I need an adult, or preferably an adult beverage, but then I'd fall asleep at my computer and the rest of this post would be endless lines of "dfghjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj" and then possibly a tweet tomorrow about how I caused an electrical fire by drooling into my keyboard. If you don't want to see how my repurposed highlighter + cushion looked after a full night of wear, duck out after the money shots of the cushion. You've been warned!
