I'm OUT!!

Tomorrow I'm using a day of annual leave and taking off for beautiful Bristol, TN bright and early!! I'm super excited. I LOVE Tennessee. One of the biggest things I'm excited about is a day off work, is that pitiful? Or does everyone feel that way?

We're going to a NASCAR race. I'll be honest, I'm NOT the biggest fan of NASCAR. I know, a shame for a girl from the South. It's just not my thing. After dating a race car driver I got a little tired out on it. I'm VERY excited about the company I'll be w/ though-my sweet honey!!




We will be camping and I have mixed emotions about that. I'm a little bit apprehensive about rouging it. OK more than just a little bit apprehensive to tell the truth. But I'm trying to roll w/ the punches! I went camping once, in 1999, with a friends youth group from church. I hated every second of it.

I'm hoping this time around will be a better experience. That was 12 years ago, after all. {Hard to believe it's been 12 year since I was a freshman in high school!}

I've already resigned myself to the idea that I'm going to have to wear my hair wavy. I usually straighten my hair, but I've come to terms w/ it, and some days I even LIKE having naturally wavy hair. I will NOT however, go without makeup. I feel like I can't since I have some acne scarring on my cheeks. I always wear foundation. Always. If I'm awake, I'm wearing makeup. Here's the big dilemma, how do you keep your makeup from melting on a camping trip?

I'm a pretty thrifty shopper, so most of my stuff is cheap-drug store brands. Some of my more expensive makeup is Benefit-I just love Benefit makeup (the Playstick does a great job of being a full coverage foundation). No matter where I got it from I don't want anything to melt-should I put it in a cooler? That's what I'm considering doing.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!
XOXO

Amen Sista! Not a big camper fan over here. I don't like to get dirty. I also have to have big hair and wear lipstick. I even wear my lipstick when I work out. I prefer camping out at a B&B.

I totally L-O-V-E Benefit's primer. It's the best primer I've found and decent price.

The cooler sounds like a great idea. I think as long as you keep your cosmetic bag in a nice shady area you'll do alright. Just be sure not to store in the hot car.

Have fun!

Did I ever tell you that my father use to build Grand Prix Formula One cars for Ferrari? I've seen enough race cars to last a lifetime.
