Allergies

Holy Moly! As the winds blew in last night I'm pretty sure they brought some unsavory friends. My head hurts, I have sinus pressure, and feel so lethargic. Oak, mold, and God knows what else is really messing with my day! Is there a way to make sinus medication work faster?

My allergies are contributing to the added anxiety working on my taxes has caused. Which by the way is taking way too long! Should I just claim defeat and hire a professional? My sinus pressure tells me to give up and go to bed. There's just so much to do and no organization available. One minute I'm working on a price list, then looking for the AC adapter to the camcorder, followed by me writing this blog. I cant seem to start and finish anything without getting distracted. Then in between my little assignments I'm preoccupied by making food and doing laundry. Not to mention the workout I'm supposed to have EVERYDAY!

So once again, my inability to get organized has caused havoc! Oh dear!

Where's my fairy god mother? I know she has the answer!

Fashion

So I'm currently on this quest to improve myself. I try to come off as pulled together but holly molly its hard! My immediate goal right now is to fit into every pair of jeans I own. I have no interest or money in investing in another pair of jeans. I'm pretty sure the only pair I wear gives me that mom jean effect and let me say that it's not pleasant to look at. I also look like I don't own any other pieces of clothing. I've been wearing the same 3 boyfriend cut t-shirts with different colored cardigans for months! I'm a what not to wear episode walking! I swear I have a better fashion sense than this....or do I?

Thinking back, I realize that I'm scared of print. I don't know why but I just cant bring myself to wear it. I'm a professional makeup artist that can't dress herself! Haha! Oh dear! On the bright side, I wear black when working so as long as my eyes look fierce I can pass for fashionista! My accessory choices can also be improved. I usually wear the same pair of earrings and necklace with every outfit. I've always envied women that accessorize and match every outfit to their jewelry and purses. Not to say that I couldn't but I wouldn't know where to start. So many choices! All confusing!

As for how my quest of improvement is going... I try to walk 2 miles everyday. It doesn't sound like much but its a start. I've also incorporated intervals. I walk 3/4 of a lap and jog 100m. Again, not much but better than not jogging at all. I'm actually looking forward to the day I jog 3 miles and I'd really like to try crossfit training. Every bit counts right? I just hope I'm motivated enough to keep going. I look for it everyday.

Still saving up for school.

Total not changing... $20

ARG!

I'm not quite sure how to feel today. I woke up with aspirations of having a fun filled day. Then I realized that I have to work tomorrow and still don't have any details. How am I suppose to attempt time management when I don't know what time to be anywhere? Maybe its my fault. Maybe I wasn't clear when I said that I needed details in advance. This is causing a bit of anxiety. I don't feel comfortable working for anyone that can't keep me in the loop. I'm sure this even will turn out just fine but I'm running my own business here! 
As my anxiety builds, I just don't know what to do with myself. Do I go workout my frustrations? Cry? Or sit still and pretend like nothing's wrong?

Of course constant nagging of the same voice doesn't seem to help.

ARG!!!!

Lead

I just got my first lead on thumbtack.com! I'm not quite sure what to do so I've decided to investigate a bit before I make a decision on how I want to communicate.

I have a photo shoot tomorrow so I hope it goes well. To be honest it would be great if the model could just buy something. Shes a doll for this favor but all that work and time and not even a gloss or foundation bought. What to do!

I just need something to keep me going. My spirits are a bit down today and I would love a bit of cheering up.

Total remains: $20

Confusion

I've been doing some research on professional airbrush machines. I'm not familiar with any of them. What machine do I pick? What are pods for? Is one machine superior than the other?
Is it worth investing in airbrushing? I've had the pleasure of using all kinds of foundations and brushes. I've tried different techniques that give an airbrushed effect. Mostly I blend till I can't blend anymore. I like to keep my work realistic. Most of my customers want to be able to do what I just did at home. If I have an airbrush machine they wouldn't get the same results so should I just reserve it for special occasions?

So many questions and so little money.

$20 in my school fund.
