They're 1 inch x 1 inch. They hold nothing. They're pointless. And yet Bryan had to talk me OUT of buying the darn things! This is the danger of the Container Store.

Laylaface!
My niece, Layla Pearl. One happy pic, one pic where she realizes Aunt Hillary is gonna be in her face with a camera for the rest of her life. Definitely Courtney's nose, & she has very little hair but what she does have seems very red!

Look of the Day: Spaceman
I have this "thing" for looks named after Dave Matthews Band songs. Q & I are bizarrely huge fans of DMB (HEY ASK US WHERE OUR TICKETS ARE FOR THE DALLAS SHOW WHY I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED THEY'RE IN THE FREAKING PIT), so it fits that we'd do this.
We always thought green & gray would be a cool theme for the song "Spaceman"; sparkly gray for outer space, shiny green for little green men. I recently got a GORGEOUS kelly green waterproof eyeshadow from Makeup Forever, and I'd been wondering what to do with it. It hit me suddenly as I was getting ready to put on my makeup this afternoon that it would be perfect for the Spaceman theme. So without further ado, here's whut I dun...
On mah fayce: MAC Mineralize Skin finish in...something pretty pale
Cheeks: Hard Candy blush in Honeymoon, just under the highest angle of my cheekbones. Have I mentioned how much I love my cheekbones?
Contouring beneath jaw: You can't really see it, but I use Sephora bronzer in Bahamas applied with a fan brush & then I blend the devil out of it.
Lips: Makeup Forever waterproof mineral cream for lips in muted pink & eyes in pewter (I combined them; they have numbers, not colors, and I'm no good at remembering numbers)
Eyes: Makeup Forever waterproof mineral cream for eyes in kelly green (all over lid) & bright silver (under bottom lashes). Then mineral pigment "Train to Nowhere" from The She Space all over the lid & "Drops of Moonstone" to highlight. For liner, I drew a thin, messy line of MAC's black kohl liner, then smudged the devil out of it with a smudge brush. Then I went over it with Hard Candy glitter liner in "Galaxy" (multicolored glitter in a clear gel base), which is my FAVORITE thing to do with this liner. On the waterline (and a bit under the lashes just to fill in a bit more), I used Makeup Forever's Aqua Eyes liner in bright silver; it's exactly the same color as the cream eyeshadow. The whole thing is finished off with Bad Girl waterproof mascara in black.
I don't know why I have such a thing for waterproofs. I think it's because they're generally long-wearing aside from being waterproof, and Q & I are both suckers for long-wearing makeup. We do work 12-hour shifts in pretty brutal jobs.
A Tumblr/Posterous Sorta Meme
I've never done one of these on Posterous or Tumblr before, but I started thinking about it & I like the idea. In the beginning, these sorts of things are the way Livejournal built community; you learned about your friends list from these "fill in the blank" sorts of things. So in an effort to build community, I present...me!
Name: Hillary
Tumblr/Posterous Name: hillarygayle (on both)
Nickname: I don't really have one. HG is the closest; one physician calls me "Red" & gets away with it
Birthday: March 12, 1979
Age: 31
Location: Weiner, Arkansas, United States
High school: I graduated from Weiner High School. No lie.
Current school/job: Registered nurse
Status: Motivated
Random fact about you: I am a survivor of 3rd degree burns & skin grafting.
Hobbies/Interests: Reading, photography, blogging, crocheting & knitting, being a coffee snob, listening to Jeff Coffin & Dave Matthews Band, discovering new jazz, saving the world
Do you smoke/drink: No smoking for me. Smoke of any sort makes my lungs itch. I do drink. I like sweet red wines (red muscadine is my favorite), cocktails made with real fruit (mixes are too much corn syrup, not enough real), and Woodchuck Ciders.
Why Tumblr or Posterous? I started a Tumblr originally because it seemed like a good balance between Livejournal (where I blog about life) and Twitter (where my ADD has a perfect outlet). When I found Posterous, it was everything I liked about Tumblr with some of the things I'd longed for (like commenting, specifically). Posterous is my mobile blog; a slice of my life pretty much as it happens. Since I export everything from Posterous to Tumblr & LJ & Facebook & all that, Posterous has become more of a way for me to live out loud. I'm really enjoying it.
