Lip Tints & Stains

I used to do it the natural way by eating red candies, fruits (prickly pears do a great job), or lemons (the citric acid would react with my lips to make it more plump and red).
Currently in love with the Sacheu Lip Tint, i use the shade Muah-ve. It takes 5 mins and will last all night. I apply it as a lip liner & inner triangles on my top and bottom lip to give them a little contour and plump, then go over with a clear gloss. ✨✨

a red lip and a bare face

My mother always told me to "wear lipstick!" but I never took the advice until now. I spend my nights working in a r*staurant and sometimes putting on a smokey eye that looks equal parts intentional and equal parts slept in is a pain in the ass. So I heed my mother's advice and put on a red lip and nothing else. It's chic to the point that my coworkers have asked me "Where's your lipstick?" when I don't wear it. My signature color is Bad Blood by Urban Decay <3

putting on lipgloss without a mirror

I did it once out of necessity and my friend said I looked hot doing it. It's really not difficult and I'll make any easy small change that ups my sex appeal. The goal this summer is to be even more young and turnt than I already am.
Maybe get a little slutty with it, ask a crush to borrow their phone camera to refresh your makeup and reapply your lipgloss in their personal space, the opportunities are endless really.

HelpinG friends with annoying tasks for nothing in return

Think: driving them to the airport during rush hour, moving furniture on a summer day, (in my case, see photo) cutting away at their badly overgrown garden when you are not a gardening gal. Or painting their bedroom on a whim, replacing their windshield fluid, or wrangling their demon cat for a trip to the vet.
I read a Manrepeller article (RIP) years ago that talked about how helping friends with these tedious, unrewarding tasks is where the real work of friendship begins. You don’t get so see how they get frustrated over brunch, but you do when you’re both unsuccessfully dragging a couch around a staircase corner, and getting To bond and troubleshoot that frustration opens whole new doors for closeness. This wisdom has never led me astray! I almost always leave these kinds of labor-based hangouts feeling closer and more held in friendship!

The immediate and the next

My heart goes out to you and your family, this kind of this is never easy and is generally pretty fucking terrible all around. I lost my mom in 2018 after a pretty prolonged and slow to cease battle with cancer.
When she was in end-of-life care something small that helped her feel a bit better was trying to make the space as homey as possible. Lots of pictures, her favorite blanket, and a friend of hers even brought some large stuffed animals that lived on her bed. It was something small that helped in the immediate moment.
I also echo everyone here saying to prepare for the grief but also prepare to sit with it for longer than you think you’ll need. I was only home for about a week after she passed before going back to school across the country, and not having my family/hometown network to grieve with really stunted and prolonged my healing process.
Also a bit bleak, but my mom and I were able to have a sort of ”closing” convo where we said goodbyes, and she told me her wishes for me, etc. if you’re able, it was a really powerful conversation to have and something I hold close when I’m having a particularly hard grief day (which still happen 6 years out! All part of the process)💛
