So with the spread of COVID-19, I’ve been having a hard time with content. Bringing you new stuff is tough, especially when we’re all quarantined. I’ve been lucky that one of my best friends has pretty much taken me in as family (it doesn’t hurt that I’m dating her brother-in-law either) and we’ve done some fun things with the kids that I have had the opportunity to document and use. I know the last 2 weeks have been silent but like I said, I’ve been working on some stuff.
I’m so grateful for my friends, the trust they have in me and it led to some pretty sweet mother daughter moments.
One of my many creative outlets (for those of you who may not know) is makeup. I was very involved in theater and competitive dance and even a little bit of modeling when I was in high school. I liked to spread myself real thin. My mom did eventually make me choose one because she was tired of driving me all over Miami but that’s a different story. My point is, while being involved in these different staged mediums, I found a love for makeup when I had lost my love for painting.
So after I graduated high school and felt completely lost in the adult world, it seemed only natural to go to beauty school. In my defense, I thought I would go into movies. Not so much in front of the camera but I’ve always loved the behind-the-scenes stuff. and I thought if it back fired I could work for a plastic surgeon or a dermatologist or even a mortician. Listen guys, I’ve always been weird, I don’t expect you to understand it just love me through it.
Beauty school sounded like a good idea until I realized how hard it was to get a job and I didn’t really like doing the facials. Waxing was fun but only in that whole inflicting pain on other people is just kinda funny sorta way. But I graduated and worked a few odd jobs here and there and was introduced to the world of weddings. I’m still amazed I came back, they tried to scare me off. I was too young and didn’t really know how to deal with high tension situations.
So eventually, one of the many things Ronni and I bonded over was makeup. And every so often, we have playdates. They’re kinda my favorite and reminiscent of ye olde slumber party days. (Except I wasn’t ever really allowed to sleep over because Hispanic parents, am I right?)
I also feel like I shouldn’t have to say this buuuuuuut this is exactly what I said it is, a play date. No, we do not allow the children to wear makeup on the regular or even out of the house. These were shot in the backyard. But even if we did, thats not yo business... I said what I said and I don’t even have kids yet.
Ronni got in on the fun too and was able to show off some of her makeup skills. (Also, I know I keep saying it but I really mean it! I have the prettiest friends. Hate on it.)
And I got to jump in for a minute with my munchkin. Warrior Princess vibes; we out.
