Xarata's Swatches & EOTD

[Xarata]

Today I am sick (courtesy of the inlaws- they chose our room in the basement on vacation and ran an uncovered hottub in it all day with the a/c on. booooooo) and it's raining (well, at least the garden is happy) and i don't have to work (yay), so why not play?

*Pardon my unkempt-ness. Like I said I'm sick so i only put on eye makeup(including eye concealer) and used the opportunity to photograph st.tropez on.

I love pink and yellow looks Sam. Your hair looks gorgeous in this pic too

[superwahz]

Wow, if I could look that sexy while sick... I agree with Lily, the hair is rockin! And now I've really gotta try Silence, I've been looking for a gold color pale enough to highlight without looking like I used gold shadow to highlight with...does that make any sense?

Enjoy your day off as much as you can while feeling bleh! Hot tubs in a/c doesn't make much sense to me. But then again, I'm not a fan of public hot tubs...or pools for that matter. Thinking of all those germs gets to me.

And... I'm sicker- grrrr. What started as a sore throat and escalated to a bad cold is now living in my chest. And I sound like a cartoon. Granted, if you had never heard my voice you would probably just assume i have a metropolitan accent of some kind (like the remnants of a new york or chicago accent), but I am from Pennsylvania and trust me, i don't sound like me at all. Such is life. At least DH gets a kick out of it.

GWP colors in golden nude again- sorry i'm on a kick- i'll grab some color soon.

And yet you still look good! What's frankenshine? It sounds interesting

[Xarata]

Frankenshine is a kind of brownish goldish green or a greenish brownish gold or maybe a goldish greenish brown? It's dark in the jar but not on- one of those colors that looks different in a swatch than in the jar. I think it was part of this year's fall series of GWP (harvest, harvest moon, frankenshine)

[lilychemgirl]

Sounds pretty. I only got harvest of those three, I wasn't such a SN addict back then, lol. Harvest moon sounded gorgeous too.

still sick, still miserable, still trying to look cute.

After seeing the outdoor photo, i decided i had applied beach bunny too heavily and lightened it up some- hence the indoor photo.

Love all your summery looks with those flowers tucked in your hair! You may be ill, but you still look upbeat.

Today I was talking to a friend who is in bed with both the flu and pneumonia! If you haven't already, you may wanna see the doctor if it goes on much longer, a lot of people don't realize how quick chest colds can turn into bronchitis or pneumonia! Also, sometimes hot tubs vaporize bacteria that can cause respiratory infections.

I've had both bronchitis and pneumonia and still been trudging through work...until being grounded by the doctor. One of the worst episodes I didn't have insurance, thankfully after explaining that to the doctor they gave me enough samples for a full course of antibiotics (the prescription was gonna cost $150 to get filled)!

Hope you feel better soon!

I agree with everyone else--even super-sick, you still look super-cute!

I also agree with superwahz--you may need to see a doctor. One of the grocery store chains here has a list of medications they will give you free with your prescription, and there are several antibiotics on the list. I don't know if any store does that there, but it is worth checking out. This has definitely helped me in the past year! Take care of yourself!!!
