Less About the Outer Beauty and More About Beauty of Life

This weekend seems to be going a little differently then I thought it would be. My parents were in Mexico for the week leading a mission trip when we found out that my Grandpa had died. He has has Alzheimers for the last year and it was very hard too see him deteriorate and forget us and things in his life. I have to be thankful that I got so many amazing years with him. He was able to come to every major school event even though he and my Grandma live five hours away. So it is both a sad weekend and a happy one because I know he is no longer in pain and unable to remember things.
The funeral is tomorrow so for today I am just hanging out at my Grandma's house and people have been coming over. I should be seeing more extended family this afternoon. I decided that a good distraction is heading over to the local drugstore and ransacking their makeup department. They have Jordana brand makeup and I am addicted to their Nail Brightener nail polish. If I am too lazy to do several coats of a color I put the Nail Brightener on and it looks like my nails are perfect with no discoloration! They look like professional artificial nails which I love.

I think I have several bottles at home but who knows? I may need some more! I also left all of my nail stuff at home - a stupid idea since my nails look awful and I will go crazy if I don't get some polish on soon.

Another cool thing about the Jordana brand is that I can try out funky makeup colors on the cheap and then if I like them I can go find a higher-end brand that has longer lasting colors. Jordana is a good brand but I find that much of the makeup does not last long on your face.

So I am just trying to get through the weekend. I am excited to see my little cousin (who is just about to turn 1!) who is an absolute cutey! I get to meet my cousin's fiance (though this is not the reason I thought I would be down here for when I did finally meet him)
