When it’s been a day and you’re on your second 24 ounce Tervis of margaritas and you throw on one more layer of LipSense and gloss to get through the rest of the night and your hair is a hot mess and you don’t even care because 48oz of margaritas.
This was left this on my porch today. I love my friends.
One of my local clients came over to pick up her order today! I might also have sold her a jug of margaritas so she didn’t have to go to the grocery store. Also? We did eventually stand outside about 8′ apart and chat for 15 minutes. It was nice, y’all. #doingbusinessthecovidway
Okay so I’ve told you all I never got into this side hustle planning on having a team—and I still don’t really worry about it that much—but it’s still exciting to get that email telling you you ranked up to Maiden!
For those playing along, I have been a maiden before and was actually a higher rank, but unless your team keeps up their sales, you lose your rank. And since I don’t really have any serious sellers on my team, ranking up just happens randomly. This month, I had two people sign up and place qualifying orders plus one who signed up last month and place an order…
Oh, and guess what? Free sign-ups have been extended through this month!! So if you were thinking about it and thought you missed out… You didn’t!! PM me with any questions! Or just click here to join!
eyeshadow look LIVE with your clients…and it seems like it’s going to be a HOT MESS but it turns out SOOOOO FREAKINRG GORGEOUS.
But first, the before picture… Ready to go live with my prize wheel and a margarita!
And some after shots… It really did turn out fantastic.
This ended up to be one of my favorite looks I’ve ever done. Could I do it again? Meh…. Probably close but not exact.

Sigh. Now to wash it all off and go to bed…
👩🏻🏫 So lessons learned?
NEVER. This is his reaction when I tell him.
Of course Tom’s has an I love you in it. Mine she just asks for something.
He usually comes downstairs at or after his bedtime to show us these things he draws, so I think this was his compromise.
so it’s pizza for dinner. And of course drinks.
(Some of that was for friends, but still.)
I take that back. I actually have many nasty words for these young people who apparently think it’s a great time for a pickup volleyball game in our neighborhood.
He loves mowing the lawn because he gets to wear headphones and listen to music but holy moly does it take him forever.
If you look closely you can see the neighbor kid mowing their lawn, too!
A year later and I’m still trying to get the Breesy Brie pucker. I’ve actually given up and just do it crazy now. 😂
Bartending 101: Bloody Marys — Teach your children well, folks. #dontjudgeme
It’s a 24oz. tumbler but Tom keeps refilling somewhat randomly. /hiccup
I might be having a margarita for lunch because e-learning sucks balls and I want to throat punch both kids.
And if you think I look fan-freaking-tastic for being quarantined, then you might want some of the awesome makeup I’m wearing. Just saying. 😂
Today I had a Lippy Visit with Ann—our old neighbor from North Carolina! We decided to go outside her comfort zone with more powerful colors instead of her typical Moca Java/Candied Cocoa Shimmer… She wasn’t too sure but I think it looks great (and her daughter agreed)!
We both used the same colors on our eyes…
▪️ Sandstone Pearl Shimmer
▪️ Cinnamon Shimmer
▪️ Bandana Shimmer
▪️ Onyx
but my lips are layered and hers are straight Mirage.
And know that we survive…and you will, too. Also, maybe 20 years of training is why I’m surviving just fine right now (minus eLearning 😂).
People have said “I don’t know how Military families do it”.
Well, now most of the world knows a taste of how it’s done.
Birthdays can’t be celebrated as you like.
Vacations have to be canceled at the last minute.
Not knowing a date you can plan anything.
Emotions all over the place.
Unknown future state of life.
Here’s a plan. No, scratch that, this is the plan. Wait, that’s changing, this is the plan, yes, this is it. Oh, things are more serious than what we thought. The plan is this and we will update you with a revised plan as we go.
All holidays cancelled.
You can’t see your family.
You miss saying goodbye to a person when they die.
You miss a funeral.
You miss a wedding.
You miss your Anniversary.
You either embrace the suck or you lose your mind and happiness.
You can’t see your kids or grandkids.
The government pretty much dictates your life.
People are in danger.
Ok, also, these things are true-
You appreciate what you have.
You make the best of situations.
Dates on a calendar are just that and you celebrate things when you can.
You realize what’s really important in life.
You celebrate 4 holidays/birthdays at once.
You no longer judge people for having Christmas lights/trees up “odd” times of the year because you realize people do what they can, when they can.
Once your life gets back to “normal” you appreciate everything more.
You realize it’s ok there was a not so epic birthday because your perspective has shifted on what’s important.
You lean on your family.
You lean on your friends.
Your normal changes and you adjust.
You’re stronger because of your struggle.
In the end, it will all be ok. Even with tragedy here and there.
You will be stronger in the end of this journey. You will not be able to see it in the storm. You’ll feel weak, defeated and not sure how you can make it. When it’s over and the storm ends, you’ll stand taller, stronger, more capable and appreciative of what you have.

Tonight was my pseudo-upline’s Dominion Virtual Awards. I didn’t get to attend (because I didn’t pay)…but look at what I qualified for?! COMEBACK QUEEN RETREAT! Just 21 people out of maybe thousands?! WHAAAAAT?! I was floored when my friend Breesy sent this screenshot to me!
And remember the awards I mentioned I technically achieved but didn’t get my own certificate because I didn’t pay to attend? Well, they made a one-time exemption with virtual certificates—and my name wasn’t on it (I did it myself!) but here they are!
Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way! I never imagined this little side gig would turn into this…
You guys. Before this month I never (NEVER) would have grabbed three new ShadowSense colors and totally winged it on a live video. 😱😱 WHO AM I?! 🤪 But that just proves what anyone can do with a little practice. I mean seriously, if I can do it, YOU can do it.

Also? SeneGence missed an opportunity to call Lime Shimmer Margarita!
A friend found this margarita glass on Amazon so of course I had to buy it.
I think I’m going you return it. It’s definitely a novelty that isn’t really useful.
We had to take Tom in to drop off his car (when he took it out this week he realized the brakes needed attention) so since we were going to be out, we placed an order…
I hate not being able to wander and shop but I could get used to drive up service.
Veronica and I had a blast on Zoom this morning both trying to do the same look (we used slightly different colors).
Neither of us ended up even close to the picture so we both considered them fails!! That said, both of ours look respectable and we both have a newfound respect for anyone who can copy a look. It’s hard.
So, did we succeed or was it a hot mess? You be the judge. No offense taken because we both think it was a mess.
Woodworking today since it’s gorgeous out!
Just look how this turned out. Gorgeous. 🤩 I even accept the lip color that a friend suggested, even though Goddess is a color that I generally do not like at all on me (it’s one of those damnable pinks). It looked absolutely horrid going on—like chalky Pepto Bismol—but after, with gloss and in a photo…I can admit it looks pretty good.
Introducing naan pizzas with leftovers! We each got to build our own with bunches of whatever was left in the fridge!
They were delicious. But more importantly, Katie willingly ate meat! She finished the whole thing!
