Date Night

Ben and I don't do date night nearly as often as we should.  I would like to have weekly dates but finances have always been an issue.  Now that our kids are older and we don't have to pay a babysitter we might be able to pull it off.

Last week though, we actually scheduled a date.  I wanted to try extra hard to look cute for it.   I did lots of research on make-up, watched a tutorial on hair, bought foundation and concealer, since I didn't own any, and tried to doll myself up.  But it didn't go so well.  I don't know if make-up is my thing.  It makes me look weird.  I wanted my skin to look flawless, but honestly, it took a whole lot of time to apply the stuff, and it really didn't make much of a difference.  The shade didn't seem quite right either.  Of course, I bought the stuff at the grocery store, that could be part of the problem.  My hair was a disaster too.  I tried curling it with a flat iron and the result was pretty awful.  I am definitely hair challenged.  It didn't turn out anything like the video, thus the ponytail.

The good news is that Ben thinks I am gorgeous either way.   I am lucky I have a sweet husband who loves me flaws and all.
