Lashes

I took my eyelash extensions off this weekend. I think I need a break for a while {i really miss rubbing my eyes}. I was nervous that I would feel {not very attractive} once I took them off, I've heard that's how people feel.

But...

All around winner in my book. The advertising is kind of tacky {c'mon folks are we selling boobs or mascara?} and almost feels like they're advertising to men, but what can ya do? 

and...

come to find out, after I had taken them off, I didn't feel hideous. It will be nice to have a break.
