As the world collapses around you, the skills from the past come into play. We all have our share of jobs from the "What was I thinking era"? I walked away with no income or ideas in sight. Just a good dose of faith and headache meds!

 Right out of high school my "tour of duty "in cosmetics started. Five years of manning a counter will give you veteran status. You know the ins and out of what will work, latest contraptions,and creams to revitalize youth. Do $780 face creams really make a difference? Can youth be rekindled in the eyes of a fading economy? 

The multiple  jars of creams, gels and colors have taken over my life at times. Let me make this clear, having friends in the industry  and samples  are the only reason for not falling into cosmetic addiction.Rehab is hard because you are always one cream from finding the fountain of youth.Ok, I  had 127 nail polishes,but keep in mind, someone had more. This is what we call beauty denial...

Take one guess where I applied for a job? You got it. The cosmetic counter at a  "luxury retailer".  You have heard the name many times and the thoughts of dollar bills leaving your bank account appear . My passion for making other people beautiful rekindled and new gig appeared! One that I have truly loved and enjoyed.

Working in cosmetics is  live reality show on a regular basis. Let the "Whining "Begin LOL If you are looking for beauty tips will share a few along the way.!  Oh, Don't forget your eye cream tonight:)
