Yesterday, I found myself blowing up the comment thread on my Facebook page with product recommendations for a beauty tool I use. I was grinning like a maniac, banging out my responses complete with pictures and links. I was thoroughly enjoying myself until I remembered there are probably some friends that didn't really care to have their phones going off with my comments about needles and serums. So I said "Hey, maybe I should just post all of this somewhere else...somewhere better...but where?" Oh yeah! Blog! Oh god, blog. Another blog. A blog about beauty products and skincare and aging...because there are no blogs like that out there in the Interverse. Not a word. Made it up. Just now. Someone probably already did. My word now.
I confess I don't know the first thing about creating a blog that someone would want to read. I don't take good pictures and video would likely be poorly-lit, out-of-focus shots of my nose and possibly one eye. I can string a sentence together so maybe that qualifies me somehow?
I'm not an expert on beauty or aging. But, I buy more products and research the topics more than I have the time or money too and I. FREAKIN. LOVE. IT. I love talking about what I've found, what I use, what I think works, what I think sucks. A co-worker recently commented on my lashes and I went on far too long about what I use and how I use it, she was like "okay, I have to go back to doing work things now", but whatever, the next day I brought her the mascara I use. Don't cringe, it was new, because germs. Her lashes look better now.
A neighbor lady marveled (okay maybe not marveled - maybe just mentioned) that I didn't look my 48 years, asked what I do, what I use. Before I could start to spew forth the inventory of my arsenal, our conversation was interrupted and well, it left me feeling like a frustrated 16 year old boy to be honest. I need an outlet for this pent-up passion, so, I'm going to continue that conversation here, in this blog thing.
