Ridiculous makeup

This is ridiculous. I've got way too much makeup. Do I look like Anne Hathaway? No, I just have a shitload of stuff that makes me look marginally better than the goblin that faces me in the mirror each morning.
Why do I spend this much time, effort and money on this? I need to simplify. I love makeup, but hate the feeling that I need it.

First (awkward) Post

I really long for simplicity. I am going to try to chronicle my quest for simplicity in this blog.
This quest really stems from my love of the simplicity and quietness of convents and monasteries. I would like to have a basic simple rhythm to my life that does not dwell on the lives of others, on clothes, on makeup, and on failure-as it does now. But I don't want to be a nun.

And I was also thinking of my favorite kids show (even into my teens), Little Bear. I still love this little Nick Jr. show! It has such a great steady calming rhythm, and the characters are so sweet. I think I want to be Mother Bear when I grow up! I think I would like a Little Bear life.
