Fabulous Friday GLAM BEAUTY Treatment for the Mommy Marathon Runner

Dead toenails, sore body, tired eyes.  Sluggish.  You know, that feeling we get from time to time.  It comes with being a parent.  Or with being a mom who is marathon training.  So, what do you do when you need a little pick-me-up to help you feel glowing and gorgeous again?

Why, get a makeover from your 5 and 7 year old daughters of course.  Talk about expressive and dramatic techniques!  You'll walk away feeling lively and energetic.  Looking and feeling like a princess clown.

Y'all know you want to hire my 5 year old as your make-up artist for your next big gig.  I mean, forget paying the big bucks.  She'll work for free.  Or a few treats like a movie or licorice.  Save your money and buy a new purse since your current one probably has ink all over it from the 2 year old pen explosion in the Chiropractor's office during your last visit.  And better yet, use some of your saved money to paint the chiropractor's walls.  (Story coming at a later time).  Anyway, back to the 5 year old make-up artist.  I mean check out these MAD SKILZ:

I would show you a before and after picture like all the great make-up artists do but she couldn't figure out the camera.  I'll tell you this...her make up goes oh so well with my post run/swim and ready for bed look.  I look sort of like a washed up harlot.  I mean Beauty Queen.  I especially like the way she makes my NOSE pop!  Doesn't everyone go for the nose popping technique.  Or is the eyes you want to stand out?

The Toes

Oh, ladies, I'm not done!  If you think that is stunning and irresistible, then you MUST check out this company's pedicure jobs.  They are simply amazing.  I mean they transformed my feet from half-painted January Hawaii trip leftovers/DEAD toenails from marathon running feet to GLAM GLAM GLAMOROUS.  Each of them took a foot to be in charge of while I created the beginnings of my Taper-Time Collage Journaling Project which you can see more of HERE.  

Here's a nasty before picture.  I know, I know, gee lady, do something with those things.  Um, I AM.  I'm running.  And Running.  And Running.  No time for pedicures.  And no point.  All it takes is one 20 plus mile run for my toes look like this again.  I only have 3 dead toenails this time though so this is a good thing.  

Yeah, pretty nasty huh?  Didn't say I was trying to win any SEXY FEET contest.  Check out my set up below.  Older cousins visiting to keep watch over the beauty supplies and I was just able to sit back and relax while I created my collage art and meditated on the Boston Marathon.  

And the AFTER Picture.  Who doesn't want rainbow toes?  I must say, they did an awesome job at covering up those dead black middle toes.  Yes?

How will you feel Fabulous this Friday?  If I were you, I'd find some of these young beauticians so you can feel Glowing and Gorgeous too!

Happy Friday,
Amanda
