I am such a girly girl.  I just didn't want to admit it for many many years.  I was the one who never wore makeup, always wore solid colors, hung with the boys, and prided myself on thinking like a man. 
Until...
Younique.
What the H-E-double toothpicks happened!?!!   
Ladies, here's the fabulous truth... MAKEUP is a gateway drug. 
It started with putting on a little mascara because I had to represent my product.  Then I was BLENDING eye pigments, using brushes and sponges and PRIMER, for gosh sakes!  Don't even get me started about lip gloss.
Since I was wearing the makeup, I guess I HAD to change my wardrobe.  So my solid sensibles gave way to printed chiffon, skirts, and the first dress I have owned in over 15 years.  
Then, since I had a new face and new clothes, I REALLLY needed to ACCESSORIZE.  Of course! Nevermind that previously I may have owned 3 pieces of jewelry that I actually wore.  Now I have a full collection of costume jewelry - rings, earrings, bracelets, pendants... I am just a-clinking and a-twinking all over town now!
So, if you are keeping up with the progression:
1. Makeup (ie; gateway drug)
2. Girly clothes
3. Accessories
So guess what I did today- and this takes the cake:
That's right, GLITTERY NAIL POLISH! 
I believe that completes my transition from "think like a man" to "act like a lady!"
And before you say that 50 year olds shouldn't wear shimmery eye shadow or glitter nail polish, save your breath!  Younique, you have created a GIRLY-MONSTER and I cannot be stopped! 
Time for my pink champagne and candlelit bubble bath...
XO
Kim
