As I was putting make-up on yesterday, I thought I looked a little lackluster. Part of the problem is that I really, really need highlights. (In my hair, not my life in general.) I miss the shimmery blonde streaks that I live for but have been to busy to have done. And after watching all the glamorous Hollywood people walk the red carpet at the Oscars, my comfy but tattered bathrobe wasn't helping to buoy my spirits. Yeah, I felt a little blue.
I sighed. And as I raised my eyes heavenward to ask for divine help with the blush and mascara, I noticed that one of the light bulbs over the mirror had gone out.
Hope flickered in my heart! Maybe it's not the highlights, maybe its the lighting that's causing my problems! Every diva knows she needs to be lit properly! Just ask Angelina.
Today's Small Thing is to replace any burned-out bulbs you may have around your house. The ones that get often overlooked are fan lights, bathroom lights, and any that are "grouped." The group of light bulbs still provide light, but it's just....dull. Think radiance! Think Oscar-winning set design!
If you don't have replacement bulbs on hand, put them on your list so that next time you're at the store you can pick them up. With proper lighting in your home, you'll feel just like you're in a movie. So glamorous, so well lit, so diva-like.
POINTS: 30 for replacing bulbs
AND/OR: 20 if you put them on your list
(50 max)
P.S. The best part of the Oscars were the JC Penney commercials and their captivating song, Killing the Blues by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. Hey, my new light bulbs helped kill the blues! Now, I just need those highlights....
