Hello Bella,
So...the last few days I have been feeling very sick and it seems I have come down with the flu.
After spending nearly twelve hours in bed and still feeling awful...
I found that I needed some refreshing.
I got up, went to the bathroom and realized I nearly looked as awful as I felt,
so I took a nice warm shower and thought to myself...
What is something quick, easy and comfortable to throw on?
Here it is...the go to's when you need a
{ Fashion pick-me-up}
#1 As my husband [Pharmacy student at Oregon State] would point out-
nothing masks the symptoms like a little:
--Ibuprofen (pain/fever)
-- Dextromethorphen (cough)
--Phenylephrine (decongestant)
--Throat coat tea.
#2 Throw on your loose fitting and most comfortable pair of trouser jeans.
#3 Begin applying layers
--I wrapped myself in my comfy drape sweater along with a cozy scarf.
#4 Keep your makeup simple
--concealer will be your best friend for covering dark circles and a red nose.
--apply a light layer of foundation
--use a light color around the entire eye to restore brightness
--apply pink to cheeks and cheek bones to give the appearance of rejuvenation
--for lips, apply a shade of pink to uplift the lip color
--finally apply mascara
{This makeup should only take 10 min. max.}
{Hair}
#5 Pick something simple yet flattering
--I always default to backcombing on the crown to give me an extra lift
--simple pony tails or buns are easy and [luckily] unusually fashionable lately
I have to say this was successful all around for me...
I went to pick up a few groceries and some coffee with hubbs and the lady at
Starbucks asked what I was up to today...
I responded with the truth--
"This is the first time out of the house today, due to running a fever."
She responded with a sweet compliment-- "Well you look nice, I couldn't tell."
{God bless that woman at Starbucks}
Well, Bella... I hope this helps next time your sick or even just in a hurry.
