I can identify with this! I used to be terrified to go outside without my "warpaint"... I guess I'm either a lot more confident now, or I just don't have the patience I used to! ;D

Ditto. Lived in an apartment building and would not run out to throw my garbage down the chute without my warpaint. LOL

I am lucky if I remember to comb down my cowlick these days. Mascara? Blah! Lipstick? Ha! Rouge? Are you kidding? All things I used to lavish on. I had almost forgotten all of that.

Exactly. I must admit that I do tend to avoid the mirror a lot more these days. LOL

Thanks for your visit, Phyllis. I was thinking back to the days I would spend an hour in the morning putting on make up. Hard to even imagine wasting five minutes on that now. LOL
