NO DOUBT ABOUT IT....

I need use way too much stuff to make myself presentable! As I did my packing for Nashville this morning, I frustrated myself trying to remember what all to pack. There's a "potion" or lotion or gel or spray or cream or brush for every part of my body. What is the deal?!

And I bet you thought I was a natural?! Ha!

Stop laughing. Seriously. Stop it.

I can laugh, but you can't.


I do need a cart! LOL

How 'bout you?


Hugs and kisses,
Kat

I don't believe you - I think you would look beautiful with or without makeup! Have fun in Nashville!

I do that with clothes when I pack for at trip. It's just good to have choices. :)

I can't believe how much has to go on my face alone!! At least three lotions plus make-up and that's just during the day! I thought of you yesterday, when I started the 30 day shred. It really does kick your butt, and I am a runner, plus I do lots of other stuff, too. Enjoy your trip to the dentist! =)

I promise it wasn't an "out loud" laugh... just a chuckle of how true your post is. I try to remind myself often that the Lord looks at the heart and not the outside.

Enjoy your trip! Glad you are feeling better to even go on it.

When I get my hair cut and colored (every four weeks), and a pedicure I realize that I have become quite the high maintenance girl. I never intended for it to happen. It just takes *a little more* when you pass that 50 mark. Oh well. A girl has to do what a girl has to do.

Becky said...

Yes, girl....I'm totally relating.

You know the "small" bag that fits over the overhead compartment that MOST people use for their WHOLE packing needs ~ well, that is just what I have dubbed: "Beauty in a Bag," but have since re-named: "Maintenance in a Bag" ~ yes, it's very sad, the 'beauty' days are long gone, and it is now strictly maintenance. And now, I'm really ticked because the airlines are charging for my "Maintenance in a Bag."

I'm packing right now to go to the lake with no hair-do and makeup requirements, and yet ~ I still have tons of stuff.....velcro rollers, hot rollers, headbands, products, etc., etc. Can't leave home without it. sigh...., perhaps someday I'll be able to simplify.

Have a safe, great trip with a fruitful, smooth visit with the dentist.

Blessings and love,

Becky

I love the new look!

Hey sweet lady! How long will you be in Nashville? I am only an hour away. I missed you last week when I was in Destin...We did make it to donut hole cafe. :) We had a good time but it was insanely crowded. We will not go on the 4th again. I hope you have a wonderful trip!

I'm too lazy for "stuff" even though I know I need it!

Welcome to Nashvegas! What are your plans?

Anonymous said...

That's age baby sad but true, and it stinks, but I'd rather this than the alternative !!!

I don't even go out to the mailbox without my 'stuff" on...

I bet everyone thinks I'm a natural too LOL

Have a safe trip,
Kathy :)

ABrushWithHumor said...

I would never laugh (snicker, snicker) at such an obviously serious (giggle) topic...
You sounds like you feel a lot better, you and George have a great trip!

Ms. ~K said...

Don't you hate that men just need a razor and toothbrush???
Have a safe trip,
Kit

Annette said...

Tales From My Empty Nest said...

Don't feel bad, us "over 50" crowd are all in the same boat. I have so many creams and potions, it isn't funny and everytime I go to the make-up counter my girl who works with me always has something new for me to try. I tend to overpack on clothes too. I never know for sure when I might want to wear another outfit or what if I get dirty! Better to be safe than sorry. Enjoy your trip to Nashville. I have never had the pleasure of going to Nashville, but I hear it is a neat place. Best of luck with your dental visit. Travel mercies for you and George! Love & blessings from NC!

Julie said...

Are you kidding me?? I am trying to figure out a way of asking my Gyno to take an inch of skin (and fat!) off of my tummy when she does my hysterectomy!

Tonja said...

I know...it just takes more stuff to get the same look that used to come 'naturally'...or a least with very little product. But, that's OK...it's all about looking as good as we feel. Which is why I have on absolutely NO makeup today...but, soon!

Have a good trip!

M.L. @ The House of Whimsy said...

I'll tell you what the "deal" is. It's the same deal as my deal...we're not 18 anymore. Hee-hee!

Barbara said...

I know just how you feel girl, everything but the kitchen sink goes in my suitcase....when it's too much, then I have to sort out what is REALLY important...have a great trip!

You are so fun, Kat!

Lately I need a steamer trunk:) Enjoy your trip.

Jean said...

Oh, yes, indeedy! My "health and beauty" traveling bag is getting bigger and heavier the older I become! You would definitely not want to see me natural!

Rhoda @ Southern Hospitality said...

OK, girlfriend! I'm following you back home, hope you settle in again soon.

Irene said...

That is funny but so true! I don't use a lot of stuff, but I definitely need STUFF everyday. My husband claims to think it is ridiculous that I wear make-up every day and fix my hair and usually a little perfume....but if I didn't? I am thinking he would be missing all that stuff.

And so glad to see you are back home!!!! I have been a bit busy these last few days, and haven't been reading much and just read about your decision to go back to your old blog. I don't blame you one tiny bit! Welcome back!

Tracey said...

This was funny and I can totally relate!!!

Hope you have a fun trip!

By the way, I LOVE the new look! So fun and summery!!!

Jill said...

I so agree...that natural look takes a lot to attain. And we must not forget the "upkeep appointments" as well as the potions and lotions. Almost a full-time job!

Micki said...

I guess you should know that I'm playing "catch up" on blog reading and although I'm not around much, please know I do come around to catch up.

Today's post just reminded me of the funniest line I saw recently...we are getting ready for a 14 day cruise (try packing for that)...anyway, I was reading someones cruise review and HE was talking about the space in the bathroom, or lack of, and said.... (this is what I also feel or share with him)...."IT TAKES A LOT OF PRODUCT TO LOOK THIS GOOD."

Your post just reminded me of that. Love ya.
