There are times when I know a task is beyond me, and getting gussied up for my husband's work party was one of them. A summer in stage make-up convinced me cosmetics were evil in a way fundamentalism never could. I only wear them on formal occasions, and our formal occasions had become non-existent. Clothes I was pretty confident I could manage, but hair, make-up, nails--not a chance.
Amazon Local has really been a godsend for finding service providers, and when Vis-a-Vis popped up, it was like hearing the cavalry thundering in the distance. I bought right there, right then. I am so glad I did! It was a blustery day when I set out all other options now irrelevant, my hopes hung on strangers. I didn't know it yet, but I was in good hands. The shop itself has a recycled chic that makes you feel relaxed. Colby's green highlights struck me as a bold choice for the home of the Wolverines.
He helped me a great choice of glittery pink nails that even now I'm enjoying its chipped and faded glory in a way I doubt he would approve of. My hair went from good to great as we chatted away.
Bonnie took me over for makeup. I've been struggling with middle-age acne, and she did a good job of covering it without turning me into a zombie. I felt pretty instead of adolescent. We all know there is youthful and there is "youthful." She also lit my imagination with her plans for a trip with her daughter, what a lucky girl.
I would highly recommend letting Vis-a-Vis take the stress out of your next big event. They were just the confidence booster I needed.
