Migraines!
I woke up with a migraine the size of Texas this morning! It's completely debilitating because you can't get up or open your eyes, much less talk. I had to call in, I couldn't help it. I absolutely avoid calling in sick because it makes me feel unreliable and then I feel bad that there's people counting on me at work and now I'm not showing up, but today was one of those days. There was no way around it. Anyway, how many of you suffer from migraines? What kinds of remedies do you use to feel better? I've tried taking Advil and just sleeping it off, but sometimes that doesn't work. Any advice?

Take it easy!
Hey Dolls!
So lately I've been noticing my friends and coworkers have seemed extremely stressed out. Many of them are quite a bit younger than me so they haven't gotten to the point in their life where they learn how to pick their battles. I just wanted to touch on that. I know it's really frustrating to have a friend do something or say something that isn't very friendly, but sometimes it's not worth the heartache. Simply put, you have to figure out if it's even worth fighting for. Imagine your desired end result. If you pursue this fight, is everything going to end up the way you imagined? A lot of times, it isn't even worth your energy. For example...
My friend is dating this guy and neither of them are committed to each other. It's supposed to be a relaxed situation, because neither of them is in a position to commit. However my friend has a friend that is now interested in this guy. Let's give these guys names so it won't get confusing. My friend is Leslie and she's dating Brad. Leslie's friend's name is Stacy. So Stacy met Brad through Leslie and has now started to call him and hang out with him when Leslie is not around, often times not even informing Leslie that they will be hanging out. It seems that Stacy has developed a crush on Brad. This is not a quality you would want in your friends, right? Everybody knows not to go for a guy that a friend has claimed. Anyway, Leslie feels there is no reasoning with Stacy and although she is jealous and feeling threatened she can't necessarily stop Brad from talking to Stacy either. What a dilemma!
Here is what I'm talking about. In my opinion this is fight that is not worth it. Yelling at Brad or demanding he doesn't speak to Stacy will only make Leslie lose credit with Brad. She will come off possessive and jealous. She is not in a relationship with Brad so she cannot get into it like that. If she feels like Stacy is not going to listen to reason then it's not worth the fight because Stacy will only fight and become defensive. I think it's time Leslie re-evaluated her friends. If a person does not respect your emotions and desires, than there is really no reason to be friends with them. Why would you set expectations on someone so unreliable?
Think about it, dolls. Do you have a similar situation in your life? Just take it easy! Don't stress out. In the end, things always work out in your favor, but you have to allow for positive changes in your life. If you surround yourself with negative people and negative situations, you will never find your way out! Just breathe, take a step back, and think about the whole situation. What will you lose by picking the fight and getting involved in it? What could you gain by just letting it pass? Are the people in your life bringing happiness and positivity to you or are they holding you back from your true calling?
After I learned this lesson, I feel so much peace. I have come to terms with the fact that not all people are meant to be in your life in that close and special way. Some people are just not cut out to be friends, and the most unlikely people, sometimes, are. Just try to see the whole picture and not let your emotions blind you.

Daily Foundation Routine Video
The video is up! Go check it out. I had to do it in two parts because Youtube has that dumb 10 minute rule. But it's all worth it to get flawless looking skin for an everyday look. I wear this pretty much all the time if I'm out and about. It's so quick and easy, only takes 5 minutes! The video is longer because I'm chit chatting with you guys, but otherwise, once you got the skill down, it's QUICK! Stay tuned and subscribe because next up is liquid and gel liners!
