Happy Mother’s Day! I hope all of you had a wonderful day full of homemade cards and burnt breakfast in bed. I’ve found that nothing validates you more as a mom than when your family gives you a “day off” and barely survives!
I had a wonderful weekend, beginning with finally getting to meet the newest member of our family, Georgia Leigh, born May 5th. Georgi is healthy and beautiful and wide awake from midnight to 6 am every night, so if I am obsessed with covering dark circles or looking “refreshed” over the next couple of months, you will know why!
I was very fortunate to have my family make it to town in time for the birth and got to spend some time with my sisters and mom, and spent Mother’s Day with my mom for the first time in years.
One thing I always think of when we are all together is how different my sisters and I are, from personality to style, even though we were all taught and raised by the same woman. It reminded me of an article I read once about what the shape of your lipstick says about your personality and, after a quick survey, I discovered we did all in fact have very different shape tips to our lipstick. Mine is “flat top, concave” which was pretty accurate if you consider having kids an adventure, which I do!
What does your lipstick say about you?
- Slanted tip, close to original shape – You are careful and keep reserved, avoiding too much attention. Although you do go for a new hair colour or outfit now and then to boost your self confidence. You thrive on schedules and usually abide by the rules.
- Rounded tip to a point – The sharper the point, the more ambitious you are. You’re get up and go attitude means you are loveable by all, especially the family as they are the pride of your life. You’re known to exaggerate and can sometimes be stubborn over little things. But you’re loveable nature ensures you are never alone, which is good for you as you thrive on having others around.
- Rounded, smooth tip – People love your easy-going and even tempered nature. You are usually always happy, and seem to be the peacemaker with your friend’s problems. You like to brighten people’s day with a splash of generosity.
- Flat top – You’re always one to rise to a challenge, with your quick thinking and to-the-point nature. Friends know they can rely on you, as you always stick to your high morals. You tend to be careful with your appearance.
- Sharp, angled tip – Routine is boring for you, you’re much too high spirited to work to schedules. You’re loud and outgoing, but sometimes your highly opinionated views gets you into arguments. You’re also very selective of your friends.
- Flat top, concave – Your complex and inquisitive nature would make you a great detective. Making friends is never an issue for you, as you lead such an adventurous and exciting life.
- Sharp, angled, but curved tip – Attention is always on you, which you love, as you’re talkative, enthusiastic and energetic. You think with your heart, which feeds your creative flair, but also means you tend to fall in love easily.
- Sharp angles on both sides – You love life and are very spiritual, yet you hold a sense of mystery. Your curiosity finds you seeking attention, with little or no issues of self-confidence holding you back.
