Sometimes Ya Just Need to Pamper Yourself...

~~The Gayla Pink Apple~~

It has taken over six months for me to decide to write this post...
 
One of the nicest things I've ever done for myself is....permanent eyeliner!  Yes, you heard it correctly - permanent eyeliner!
 
For months, I didn't share this information with people - not sure why - perhaps I felt a little guilty - maybe even a little selfish.  But, six months later, I can most definitely say it was one of the best things I've ever done.  I absolutely love it. 
 
I used a super-duper magnifying glass to see to put on eyeliner.   It was usually a smudged mess a few hours after I put it on. 
 
Now, every morning, when I get up, I'm ready!  I can add more makeup - eyeliner - eye shadow - etc. if I want more.  I no longer have to feel that I look like crap when I make a quick run to the grocery or farmers market.  I no longer dread a photo taken after I run a 5K, etc.

The top eyeliner in this photo is a tad bolder because of the eyelashes.
 

I admit there's been a time or two that I've felt the need to explain my eyeliner - such as exercising or running with full eyeliner on.  Sometimes I feel the need to say "hey, I didn't put on makeup / eyeliner to exercise - it's permanent."  Sometimes I do explain - other times I don't. 
 
I'm not going to justify it anymore.  I did it.  I love it.  No, it didn't hurt.  Yes, I felt it - but the tattoo artist numbed it very well.
