Week 4: Famous Last Words

Oh... this week...

I have been so busy with work and school. I have to read Virginia Woolf's "Three Guineas", I have to watch Hotel Rwanda, and I just got done selling way too much makeup to the whole city of Norman.

I have read "Three Guineas" before in my Intellectual History of Twentieth Century Europe class that I took about a year ago. Saying that, I must emphasize the "YEAR AGO". I have to reread the whole book, and the one thing I do remember is that I did not enjoy this piece very much. She takes too much time going off on tangents, speaking in ways that completely connect to only people from her time period, and she is always talking about being the daughter of an educated man and what that means to her. Oh, man, I cannot take it anymore!

I have also seen Hotel Rwanda before, but my teacher is making us rewatch it. For those of you who have not seen this movie, it is completely exhausting putting yourself through that much sadness. Hollywood sure knows how to pull at the heartstrings.

Last but not least, I had an event at Ulta in Norman yesterday! For anyone that has ever been to Ulta, you know it is this magical place full of makeup and skincare and fragrance and anything else that makes you feel beautiful. Well, yesterday I was a makeup artist for the makeup company, BareMinerals, and I did makeovers back to back for eight hours straight. The least I can say is I am exhausted. I did get some really nice lipgloss out of it though. :)

To anyone that ever wants to get a makeover done, come to Ulta! We are having some events with Murad, Urban Decay, and IT Cosmetics coming up soon! You can get your makeup or facial done by moi, personally.

  1. Heather, I think it is definitely that time of the year for business to really settle in! Especially for us college students! Your job as a makeup artist sounds so fun, but eight hours is a long time for constant makeovers! I probably would not be able to do what you do! I have also seen Hotel Rwanda and I get the agony in watching it. It is a fantastic movie, but it is also truly depressing. I am more of a happy ending kind of girl :) I hope you have a great upcoming week!
