Ingredients are important

Whether it's life's ingredients, your coffee's, or my new makeup line, it's important to pay attention to them. Today, I paid attention to all three of those. I decided I was going to have a decent day today. I slept in after watching House of Cards, woke up at 1:30pm, and didn't complain when Chris wanted to go out for Dutch Brother's and Muchas Gracias (I wanted to go to, I am just not a get up and do it right away person). I managed to enjoy my morning before cleaning the house. I waited to work on my business until I felt like housework was caught up. Today, I organized my to-do list for Love Me Recovery and got all my information for my ingredient labels. Gotta conform to FDA guidelines. My coffee was sugar-free and has been that way for 10 days now!

I did my menu planning today and went food shopping. I finally got home, put away groceries, and started to make my talc-substitute and base fillers for my foundation. I promised my mom she would leave with her own foundation. She's been visiting with my sister for the past two days. I made my substitute and got my filler done. I whipped up a sample for my mom to try tomorrow and we'll adjust the color as-needed. I sent a message over Facebook asking for volunteers to try out my foundation. I need women/girls who are light, medium, and dark-skinned. I will give them free samples to take home for helping me out. I need to make sure the color is right and that the makeup stays on. I can of course make custom foundations too. That's the beauty of mixing your own mineral makeup.

This week is full of to-dos. I just don't want to forget the most important ingredient in my life. The essence of life itself. I need to work on enjoying my days. I feel as though I am always in a state of panic. This isn't healthy. My goal is to get organized time-wise, make the effort to walk everyday, and stick to meal planning. I also want to schedule outings with Chris and Harlan. We are stuck in the house too much. I really enjoyed getting out last night and seeing our colleges production of Romeo and Juliet. It felt like a date. I needed that.

Harlan's been with grandpa all weekend and he's coming home tomorrow night. I want to clean up his room before he returns. I miss him. It's like a void when he isn't here. He is so funny and present all of the time. He is really excited about my makeup company. I just can't believe I haven't made more than one sale. I am sad about that. I'll be stepping up sales and marketing this week. I have lots of plans. I need to establish a customer base. Hopefully, my party next month will help that.

Love,

Jenny
