Get Back up Again

I had been feeling so tired for the past few weeks and just down for no real reason at all. Just as with the seasons, we go through phases and seasons in life. It's okay to be down and tired --I think it's a way of our bodies telling us to slow down (as in the case of physical tiredness) and our minds telling us to regroup and refresh. I was going to bed early, not doing much with anything except going to work and doing my normal duties. Even my kitchen floor and my face suffered the brunt of my tiredness. I wasn't washing my makeup off at night - a beauty no no! I was here but not really here. But I refused to stay down. Today I mopped my kitchen floor and I'm springing back into action. I need to start washing my face again at night lest I start aging :). Isn't that what they say....For everyday you don't wash your face at night you age how many years?? Well I don't mind that though because I look too young for my age.
If you're going through stuff or feel down for any reason, know that it's just for a season and there is an end and then a new beginning. Weeping may endure for a night but Joy Comes in the Morning.....just be sure to recognize when morning comes and GET UP!  This too shall Pass ;) There's too much at stake when you stay down too long. Here's one of them...Introducing my daughter.

Covered From Top to Bottom

I finally gave in to wearing sweaters since I couldn't bear the cold any longer. My sweaters are all still tucked away in storage and I keep pulling one to wear each day as the temps are falling. Fall is officially here!
I love this old Navy 3" belt. It does a good job of cinching my waist and wearing it a little higher creates some non existent curves. 

Sweater, Skirt and Belt - Old Navy



Sunday Makeup - Purple Lips

I tried purple lipstick for the first time this past Sunday.  I always like to match my lipstick and eyeshadow to my outfit but I always apply as subtly as possible. My husband and kids don't like too much makeup on my face. Less is still better as far as makeup goes. Do you match your makeup to your outfit?

All Makeup by Avon
I'm wearing ULTRA COLOR RICH Moisture Seduction Lipstick SPF 15 in Plum Gorgeous.
Eyeliner - Glimmersticks eyeliner in Blackest Black 
Blush - True Color Blush in Mocha Latte
Foundation- Min-a-real Cream to Powder mineral foundation in Mocha

I am a big fan of Avon! I keep my rep busy monthly :) The ethnic dress is gorgeous! I would also belt it and add boots and tights. I would also wear the dress as a skirt or as a shirt with a skirt over top.
