Just talked to Dad. He has a spot on his lungs the size of a softball. He's getting an MRI or CAT scan soon, he mentioned both so I'm not sure which one he meant. I'm not really sure what to do. I'm 200 miles away and part of me wants to drive down and be with him a while but I'm about to get this job... I just dont' know how bad this is yet.

I think just being there for him any way you can is all you can do. I think he knows you support him and will help him any way you can. When I was in college, my dad got ulcerative colitis. It almost killed him. He was so sick for 2 full years, and I went to see him in the hospital or at home or help mom with the house work whenever I could, but I was 100+ miles away. All he wanted for me was to finish school and not worry. He kept saying the best thing I could do was what was best for me.

It was super duper hard. But I'd just have a talk with him. Tell him you love him and will do whatever you can no matter what... see what his feelings are on the matter.

Being so far away, that is all we can do.
I think they give parents a note on what to say if something happens and your child is not there.
My mom told me the same thing.

Happy Monday!! I can't wait until Wednesday. I'm going to take my test in the morning and then treat myself to a wawa sub and watch The Departed in my yoga pants at home. And maybe a LOTR movie.

So after trying out the ADLW foundation from Nars...I have to say the finish on this is absolutely stunning.
Doesn't cake up on my dry patches, or kick up any flakes.
It appears to be luminous yet matte.

I was looking into it last week and it looks REALLY lovely. Reminds me of the YSL Fusion Ink foundation which looked really pretty but they didn't have a perfect match for me and I just didn't care for the scent. I was tempted to wait and make the new Nars foundation my next foundation but there is no Nars counter around here and I definitely need to get matched. I wonder how the shades will compare to Sheer Glow? Some of the Sheer Matte shades by the same name look totally different from the Sheer Glow shades. I also need to make sure it has enough coverage for me. I know it's supposed to be full coverage but lately I need FULL FULL coverage.

They run lighter apparently, compared to Sheer Glow. I wouldn't exactly know but that is what is being said from just about everyone who owns it. I wish there was more options for pink undertones

Me too Sis---I get teased about it all the time but at least I'm not the one running out of things and running to the store every other day

I've only been to Walmart one time---we were traveling and blew a tire----git a new one & was on our way. Wr don't have one near by. I stock pile our paper
goods from Costco or BJ's.

So those pics circulating as allegedly being Walmart shoppers are real

I think they are ZOMBIES!!! For REAL

Aww, see we are twins even while shopping for TP!!!

Maybe I shall check out BJ's (why that name!)

If you order, do it today. Through today they include a free full size Champagne Wishes glitter! Also, if you order 3 (or a lit kit) you get the color Festive for free.

Also, on any order, if you type "Lit Chick" In the comments at checkout with the name of a glitter you want for free, you get that too. So essentially if you order 1, you get 3 glitters (1 paid, 2 free)... if you order 3, you get 6!

And I am officially now an enabler.

Enabled!

Aww, yeah, almost all of the Nars foundations are super yellow. I don't totally mind since I like to use the yellow to counteract the crazy amount of redness I have, but they aren't very NW friendly. I wish brands wouldn't do that. They have Mont Blanc, and then the next truly pink shade is much darker... starts with a V but I can't remember the name. If they run lighter than Sheer Glow then I think Deauville would work for me. It's neutral toned which works for me but its just a bit too dark. Then there is Deauville in Sheer Matte which I swear looks like it's three shades darker lol. Which shade did you get, sweetie?

Got a sample of Deauville and Vallauris. Both seem to work. Which is odd imo lol

Vallauris! That's the shade I couldn't think of. I think that shade was just added in the last year or two. In Sephora they put that shade on me in the cream foundation formula and it looked nice but it would only work on me when I am at my most tan in the summer.

Vallauris is dark for me, the undertone is spot on.
Deauville is too yellow for me...so I am kinda stuck.

I may end up with Vallauris and add a lighter setting powder to balance it.

That should work, and if you get any color in the spring and summer it will probably be perfect then anyway. I used to have to buy two different shades of Sheer Glow and mix them, but it's just so expensive to always have to buy two bottles at once.

Hey ladies Thinking about spending a gift card on my first MAC blush. Are they worth the money? Any shade recommendations for a super pale NW girl?

I'm NW 13 and I really like mac's cream blush in Posey.

Are you close to them? Even though they live away.

Oh absolutely---we vacation together with our husbands too whenever we can.
