Fix this girl’s face

Onto something less lame?

Okay, so after seeing and reading people talk about makeup, I decided it is now time.

Time to give in and start wearing it! However, my wallet does not allow for this to happen, so I’m thinking I’ll have to ask for items as gifts for special occasions, like Valentine’s Day, my birthday, Christmas, etc.

So here’s where you come in!!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Help me out. Recommend your favorite products. Doesn’t matter how cheap or expensive, just your honestly. Especially coverup/concealer because my face breaks out.

If you are a makeup company that feels sorry for me and wants more pretty people in the world, then feel free to send me some products to review, use and cover up this face. Smile

Or if you are a reader that has old makeup or makeup they don’t want and also want me to look better, then feel free to send it my way!

PHEW, glad that’s over with. NOW HELP!

I guess I’ll give you some information on my day.

(+) My Organic Chemistry test is now moved to a week from today. WHY? Because we never got Chapter 13 homework and he asked if we wanted it, and of course we said yes. Who doesn’t want more homework? Actually this is good because it’s more points and good preparation for the test.

(-) Our Chem lab is actually a test review today and he wants both sessions together therefore he moved the time to 2:30. This is a problem because he said we could be there as late as 4 and practice is at 3:30. School comes first though. Priorities. (Even though I’d rather have running first. If only I was a shoe in for the Olympic title, then school could take the backseat)

(-) It snowed! Again. I hate snow. WHY? It makes running difficult. Thankfully the roads and sidewalks should be pretty clear. There’s no way I’m running on the indoor track for 5 miles. No siree.

OH and of course I watched Glee last night and I thought it was fabulous! Smile

Alright, now leave me wonderful comments about how you plan to help me with my makeup. K, thanks!

Running History: Guest Post Part 1

The following is a guest blog written by my mom about her memories of me and my path to becoming the runner that I am today. This will be posted in a four-part series, so please come back over the next week to complete the series.

My Daughter, The Runner

We lived in a neighborhood with a dozen kids and only two were younger than Sam. She always wanted to hang out with the “big” girls, so she was always running to keep up with them.

In 2^nd grade Sam was invited to play recreational soccer and even though she was a little worried about being hit by the ball, she joined the team. Sam played for the same team for several years and everyone always commented about how long her legs were and how fast she ran. She wasn’t a top scorer and she usually played defense in the backfield. She was very aggressive and could run down the opposition and strip the ball away. Of course, many times it resulted in a penalty, but she played hard.

(Yes, I knocked that girl down)

Each year during elementary school the kids had to pass the Presidential Fitness Test. I don’t remember how much they had to run – I believe it was meter or yard dashes in elementary school – but Sam would always come home beaming because she would beat everyone in her class, even the boys. During her fifth grade year, she came home and was all excited because she was the fastest in her grade.

Sam’s father and I have never been athletic so we never knew about running clubs or track clubs outside of school, so all of Sam’s running was for gym class at school. During middle school the Fitness Test turned into a mile and while the majority of girls in her class would walk, she would run. She would even ask the teacher to run and be timed to see if she could improve her time. All of her classmates thought she was crazy. Her gym teacher said she needed to run cross country or track in high school.
