Sharp!

Today I look sharp. I’m wearing a brand-new blouse and carrying a brand-new purse, and I’m all made up. I wish I had a camera with me. I may not be thin, but I look put-together, and my skin and hair look great (new Alba shampoo and conditioner!), and all together it makes me feel like smiling at my reflection in the mirror instead of hastily looking away as usual. Nice. This Benefit glowy primer stuff I applied before I put on my light foundation looks great. I don’t think women need to wear even a lick of makeup to look beautiful, but sometimes it helps to bolster your confidence ;).

I came across a great blog about running and maintaining a balanced life today thanks to Yahoo’s Shine website, and I totally recommend checking it out. Alissa, the writer, recovered from an exercise obsession and disordered eating about five years ago, and now is committed to and confident in her more balanced life. She’s still crazy about running, but she’s doing it out of love of the sport now rather than obsessing about burning off calories or losing weight.

    Posh: Agreed, that product definitely lives up to the hype.

    M500: It’s a large Nine West black tote-style purse with small white stitching (bought on sale at Marshalls!). I can throw the kitchen sink in this thing and it still looks reasonably classy.
