april showers...

"It's a rainy day, its a rainy day, its raining outside and I can't go out to play, why do we need the rain anyway?"  Comment below if you remember this song from Sesame Street! I sing it every time in rains, without fail, to this day!

Today is a dreary thursday. It's been a dreary week, chilly and rainy and all around gloomy...and i love it! Don't get me wrong I love a good sunshiney warm spring day like the rest of you but nothing makes me happier than waking up on a grey cloud filled spring morning (okay, okay, afternoon! who am i kidding! haha).

Rainy days are just so much more poetic and cozy than sunny days. As I type this Im curled up on my grey suede-y couch under a blue fuzzy blanket drinking a cup of caramel-ey cinnamon-ey coffee dreaming up a soft grey purple-ey makeup look! Haha!

Only I would be so inspired by such grey days! With any luck I'll come up with something soft and romantic, with maybe a light pink lip or a nude lip and a baby pink cheek, to show you in pictures or maybe another video tutorial!

A very good, and very intelligent, friend of mine said to me the other day "Did you just say you're thinking of going to beauty school?!" And it made me flinch a little. There's such a stigma with the beauty industry. "Cosmetology school" sounds like such a cop out. Like something that unintelligent or superficial girls do when they cant do anything else. For this reason I've been avoiding telling people that that's what I want to do. I don't want people to say to me "Did you just say you're thinking of going to beauty school?!" because I know what they're thinking... "You went to college! You have a degree!" I know I did! I know I do! But its really hasnt gotten me very far.

Yes...I am thinking of going to cosmetology school. If I do it'll be a commitment. It'll be a sacrifice. And it'll be expensive! And in the end I will be doing what I love and what Im good at and I will be sharing my creativity and my knowledge with the world...one soft romantic grey smokey "rainy day" inspired makeup-look at a time!

With love and positive thoughts for the future
