The Naked Face Project - Feedback Friday

Have you heard about two friends, Molly and Caitlin (founder and coach of Girls on the Run), who have challenged each other to forgo make up, hair products, shaving, and uncomfortable female clothing for 60 days? They decided to blog about it and named it The Naked Face Project and you can follow the journey each of them takes online.

The idea came to them after a discussion about what to say to girls when they asked why they wear make up. Neither of them had an answer to that question they felt comfortable with giving to a young girl, so this project was born to learn why they wear make up and how they would feel if they gave up their usual beauty routine.

I have gone sans make here a few times here. Once when I was describing my make up routine: Get your face on and once while reviewing a DIY Facial Peel from Pinterest. I wasn't 100% comfortable but it was easier the second time. It is worth considering however, why I wasn't comfortable.

It's Feedback Friday...

Why do you wear make up?

Would you be able to accept this challenge for 60 days? 30 days? A week?

Do you ever go out in public without make up?

What would you miss more - Make up, Shaving, Hair products, or Jewelry?

Beware of Online Shopping

This Today Show story freaked me out since I do about 80% of all my shopping for Christmas online. It seems that counterfeiters have taken to the web and are selling fake items online. You or I could purchase an item and receive a total fake!

Let's all be careful when shopping online! Yikes!

Computery Stuff - Pinterest Pass or Fail



My Computery Stuff Pinterest Board helps me organize all those little computery things I'm totally clueless about for my blog. I pinned a tutorial the other day to help me Add a Reply Button to my comments section for more interaction with comment-ers. The tutorial I used originated at Spice Up Your Blog and was a Pinterest Pass!

The instructions were simple and I had no trouble finding and entering codes (even while still learning my new computer!) to get the reply box installed. Blogger doesn't offer an option for the reply to go to the person's email like WordPress, but it is nice to have my reply line up under the correct comment.

**The only thing I will mention is that your comments need to be set up so they appear at the end of the page instead of in a pop up box, in order for the code to work (I cussed a few times before I figured that one out!).**

So, leave me a comment and I'll reply to you! Ha!

So, this springing ahead has me a little lost for a tutorial for today. It's kind of "spring-ish" (47 degrees) out my window, so I'll bring back an old tutorial with a spring vibe from my archives:


Enjoy!
