Cure the Blah

I still believe that when you're having a 'blah, everything is going wrong' day, the best thing you can do is put on some lipstick.

Due to this blah day I'm having, I caved and had some coffee. My over-assumption of coffee led me to the bathroom at least four times this morning. Every time I'd look in the mirror and feel even more blah. Finally I realized I needed some lipstick. I have 27 different colors in my leopard-print make up bag, so I knew I'd find something to perk me up. And, it worked. One of my favorite MAC shades, Loyal, made me instantly feel better. It's as if my internet rock n' roll radio station even started to sound better. And, the best part is, I'm working from home today, so I'm sitting in my room with my lipstick on ... for no one but my cat to see.

You can either sit around, complain and do nothing about your 'blah' day, or you can go for a walk, listen to that "happy song" (mine is Daybreak by Barry Manilow - the first song I ever tap danced to) or walk around your apartment in high heels. Yes, the lipstick made me feel better, but I wanted something more, so I also walked around my apartment in my favorite pair of high heels ... which I still haven't taken off.

Whatever that little thing is for you, do it. If you don't have a cure, I recommend you start at the MAC store. It works wonders for me.
