The .Power of Red

i've fallen in love with this lipstick. 
it's the real deal, no normal everyday nude. 

wore it to work this morning.. . reapplied it when my kids were in computers.. 

When I picked them up a student asked, "Do you have lipstick on, Miss Anastasio?"

. . followed by an echo of little girls complimenting me.

who would have thought kids would recognize the power of a little red lipstick?

i was scrolling though my playlists and discovered this song.

if you see some crazy thirty-something wearing bright red lipstick, going mad crazy 
singing on the top of her lungs
 .. that .Would. Be .Me. 

these lyrics. the chorus.

but you're not gonna break my soul.
this is the part of me, that your never gonna ever take away from me. 

that was then and this is .Now. 

yes. yes and Yes.

i'm thinking this should just say - A Person's Behavior is an Iceberg. 

Does it really only apply to kids?

turning back time

i know God never makes mistakes. but... there is a possibility that maybe, just maybe, i was born in the wrong decade. I could very likely fit right in wearing these fancies and listening to Mr. nat king cole. This would do me just fine. In fact, pretty much better than fine. the best.

today was a fairytale

i had an epiphany of sorts today, as i was driving home and loving this song by taylor swift:

Today Was A Fairytale - Taylor...

i'm caught in my own little fairytale world.. Nah _ not meaning everything is full of fancy, carefree and wonderful. i'm far from that. but everything that i gravitate toward seems to be fitting of a disney fairytale. I think i never grew out of that.

i'm the one at work who wears flowers in her heart.

just bought a skirt half made of tulle [an adult version of a tutu], glitter eyeshadow is almost an every other day thing. butterflies, ladybugs and white twinkle lights capture my attention in heartbeat.

and if i could get away with wearing a tiara everyday i would. not cause i think i'm a princess. not at all. just cause, well.. . it makes me feel special. is that silly?

maybe.

but a little sparkle can cheer up even the dullest day.
