As most of you know me, I work in the cosmetic industry. If you didnt know. Now you do. This is what I went to school for. This is what I love. This is what kept me occupied as a child growing up. I was more interested in arching my eyebrows and reading magazines on how to "highlight my cheek bones"-than going on dates or hanging at the mall. So technically-this would make me OVER qualified for this type of work. But What can I say, aside from having a relationship with myself, I have one with Bobbi, Nars, MAC, Trish McEvoy, MD Skincare....I have many relationships. All of which are fabulous-and most definitely. one sided. My side of course ; )
However, most of those relationships end at the end of each day-when I take my makeup off.....
They are short lived. They are a blast for the few hours I endure them. They are what I make of them.
Everything is "what you make of it".
After a few months on hiatus. I have come back to reality. Unofficially.
From the looks of it, I have missed a bunch and maybe more. Either or.
I used to write for fun. I used to write because it gave me an outlet. I used to write advice. I used to write because sometimes stuff....just needs to be documented for future usage.
I left off in June 09.
Back then I was living with someone. I had given up a lot of myself. I was trying to make it work. I fight for what I feel is worth fighting for. I will go down fighting for you, if I feel you are worth the fight. Im loyal. Im stubborn. Im an endangered species. So are you. There's nobody else out there like you or me ; ) Im back. Pushing through,
In the interim, a little ketchup:
New Job. New Place. Newness. Everything happening for a reason. New Friends. Newness on a rise. Taking Notes.
People come into your life for a reason is such a cliche saying, but lets be honest-shit makes sense when you really, really think about it.
Sailing through the days one by one on my Speedboat....and really enjoying it......

I get bored so easily, it's a downfall of mine. I know. A few months ago I purchased Brand New DJ Equipment as well as a computer program called Virtual Vinyl....with the intentions of seriously focusing on the art of DJing....
Sad to say that phase of myself-has come and gone. No tears. No tears.
The equipment was never used...why?! Because by the time I brought it all home & set it up...I had lost interest...
Soooo I decided to put it all on EBay/Craigslist...In hopes of recovering so of what I spent on it....
Check...Check....Check it out.....
I've decided to dive back into getting to know my sewing machine on a more personal level. It has sat in my basement for the last 3 years. I had a love for trying my hand at sewing a few years back. However, I became discouraged after things did not come together as I planned....must be the Specialist in me. I gave up. I packed up. I forgot about it. Fast forward to this past month-I had a yearning to try my hand at it again. After dusting it off and re-threading it-I thought I was set to go. No! I'm having needle issues. It goes down....but refuses to come back up! Hmmmm....
I threw the towel back in.
I was on a mission to make a bathing suit. Yes, Bathing Suit. I took to sewing it by hand. It turned out so-so. My sewing machine would have been able to make it A+. I'm taking my machine to the real doctors. Let's hope they can help!!
If youre into fabulous finds-run to Rogers, Ohio! It is the states largest open air market. They have 1,000's of vendors, selling everything from Antiques to Fruit. You can't comprehend the greatness of it, until you go! It's open @ 7:30am every Friday!! Go Now!!! Don't believe me-Google it!!
I've decided to take a moment and post some of my finer floral moments from the past few months.
All done with love.
I received the best piece of advice from a girl no older than 11 yesterday. She and her family are friends of mine. I was visiting there place yesterday, when she asked if I wanted to play Wii Bowling. Now, I know everyone and their mother is on the Nintendo train…me?....Not so much. I never played video games as a child nor was I ever exposed to them on an adult level. I decided to give her Wii Bowling a whirl. Controller in hand-I was ready to roll the ball….But not before I let her know-“I wasn’t going to be much of an opponent, considering my lack of skill level”. That very moment, she hopped in front of me and spoke these fine words…”Valarie, Never doubt yourself”.
I was amazed, at how focused she was when she said it. Just Brilliant!!
I guess where there’s a Wii, there’s a Way……
Oh, and I’m pretty sure I’m now addicted to this fabulous gaming system….
Yes! Yes, it's True!! I'm having a blowout Hi-End Moving Sale of the Century!!
Sunday July 20th 2008.
I chose the term 'Hi-End Moving Sale' for two reasons.
One: I don't own junk-therefore I will not be selling Junk. (which usually is associated with garage sales)
Two: I feel the words 'Moving Sale' will get more people to consider it. Yes, a little bit of trickery on my part....but then again....
life is an illusion.....
