Just Another Manic Sunday
Posted by Luanne | Posted in Manic Monday | Posted on 12-05-2008
This weekend was unbelievably busy and it had absolutely nothing to do with Mother’s Day. My youngest daughter dances for Dayton Ballet Jr. Company and every year on Mother’s Day, the have their end of the year show. This show is extremely important because it happens to also be their only public show all year. They only other time they get to perform is when they get small parts in the professional ballets during the regular season or when they are doing demonstrations at the schools in the area. Anyway, they have to be at the theater at 10am to do an hour and 1/2 warm up class downtown before they have to be picked up and taken to where they are performing. They have to cram down their lunch and do their hair and makeup in the car on the way. Not to mention the family running to church, slipping out early and then after the performance taking my mother out for dinner, then off to the company party. A few days last week she had two school demonstrations in the same day at two different schools before noon….then we had an end of the year co-op party. Of coarse you also know that the word party means that I had to take a salad and desert. Life is busy.
As a Mary Kay babe, I am like a walking billboard. I don’t say that because I think I am so awesome looking, I just say that because it is my business and I can’t afford to be caught with my hair up in a wad, with sweats on and no makeup. No matter how busy I am, I have to pull it off some how. When I am in a hurry getting everyone else together and I am not left with a lot of time for myself, I just simplify. Pony tails are back in; either obviously messy or very neat & sleek. No time for sleek so pull it back soft and messy.
I personally can’t find my leather pants…..whatever! So I am sure to have a pair of cute trouser jeans and cute heals or flats to toss on when we’re in a hurry. Luckily t-shirts, tanks and jackets are in. Make sure they are layered and long enough and you will always have a quick easy cute outfit to put on when you have to take off out of the house.
As far as make-up goes……check this out….quick, easy, and fabulous.
Even if it is a Manic Monday, look awesome, love life, and be a good steward of what you have been blessed with!
you always look so beautiful! you always got your A game, girl.
Yes, I vote you always look great. ALAWYS! And I know where your leather pants are….good post!
I love ponytails, too bad my hair’s too short… I liked the link to the fast and fabulous makeup tips. That was a great touch along with the pics of Kate. I’m very visual! It’s good to know that looking cute doesn’t mean wearing leather pants, though. Jeans and ponytails rock too!
ps. the pictures and links are really cool. Looks fantastic! And good tips!
I think your leather pants may be hanging out somewhere with my skin-tight vinyl catsuit 🙂 Thanks for the tips! Your blog looks beautiful by the way, it really suits your topic.
Great tips, sis. You always look pulled together. I’m learning from you but…..sometimes…sweats, no makeup and tennies……..well, let’s just say, I stay in that day.
