My sister Jaleesa is the haircutting and now Mary Kay beauty queen of the world. She is helping me get over my beauty aversion. She convinced me to cut and frost my hair before I had Clara, which I have absolutely loved. Then she practiced her new Mary Kay party pitch on me and my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and actually convinced me to care about how my skin ages and... wear foundation! I am actually wearing foundation on days that I go out in public. I never thought I'd see the day.
Well she came over again this week and showed Erith, Tric and I how to put on... eyeshaddow, eyeliner, blush, and lipstick! Am I turning into a mom of girls or what? Next thing you know, she'll be teaching me to frenchbraid and other girly hairdo's.
If I had a million dollars, I'd pay J twice what the JCPenney salon is paying her and have her come over every morning and beautify all 5 of us girls every morning. But alas, I don't, so I guess I'll have to grit my teeth and do some kind of simple hairdo on all 5 heads all 7 days a week, all my life long... Who knows, maybe one of these days I'll actually like hair!
Erith idolizes J, Santa got her a Barbie head to practice hair on for Christmas. (When we weren't watching Vi took some sissors and cut two chunks of hair off that night) She is so proud of the... unique hairdo's she comes up with. I might just get lucky, and have Erith take over the beautifying when she's old enough!
I've got to admit, I have got some cute, cute little girls.
