Feeling a bit more like myself with a smokey eye!

Finally!  I have a new post!  I'm sorry it's been so long, I wasn't expecting to not feel like sitting at the computer after surgery so that's kinda thrown me off a bit.  So first thing first.  I cut my hair.  It's not as short as I was intending on going because when I went to the salon to cut it, the owner came over to me and told me that he's a client for years and years who also has colon cancer and the drugs haven't made her lose her hair at all.  So he suggested that I just trim it.  I decided that I still wanted to donate what I could because I didn't want to be kicking myself in the butt if I didn't do it and then my hair started falling out.

So here is a picture of my sister and I (taken on her phone) the day before I got my hair cut.

And here's a picture from right after I got home from the salon (taken on my phone).

Goodbye long hair!  I donated 10 inches.  Which is a lot.  I like my new hair (not saying I don't miss the long hair).  I mean, I've had it this length before so it wasn't as crazy of a shock as if I had done the pixie cut.  I still plan to buzz my hair if it does start to fall out.

Now onto the makeup look!

This is yet another look I did with Makeup Geek eyeshadows.  I really think they've been great so far.  You definitely need a Z palette or something to put them in.  You may think it won't be so bad opening up those little packages every time you want to use one but that gets old very quickly haha.  So here's my look!

And a quick cute one of my daughter and me (taken on her DS).

Color placement:

1- Corrupt 

2- Cocoa Bear

3- Chickadee

4- Vanilla Bean

5- Shimma Shimma (I also used this for a cheek highlight)

I'm so sorry that I've not been posting a lot and even more so that I haven't responded to comments.  I do read them all I just don't know how to log on through my phone and I have basically not been on the computer hardly at all.  Hence the lack of posts.  So thank you all so much for your sweet comments, I really do appreciate them all so much!

I start chemo tomorrow morning at 8:30.  I'm quite nervous because I just don't really know what to expect.  I know one of the medications they're putting me on will make me highly sensitive to cold.  I won't be able to eat, drink, touch, or be in the cold at all.  They said I'll need to keep a pair of gloves next to the fridge because if I touch something cold, it will feel like I've gotten an electric shock.  And if I eat or drink something cold they said it will feel like I'm swallowing shards of glass, which doesn't sound like that much fun.  I'm nervous about being nauseous and possibly getting sick to my stomach.  I HATE getting sick to my stomach.  So I've already got my anti-nausea medicine, some ginger to make ginger tea, and some ginger hard candies to suck on (apparently I've heard ginger is good for nausea haha).

If anybody ever has a question regarding the cancer itself or chemo or anything please don't hesitate to ask or if you are going through something, please feel free to contact me (you can e-mail me at starryskies214@yahoo.com).  I don't want to overload you guys with stuff you don't care about so I'll try to keep my chemo stuff to a minimum, I'm not saying I won't mention it at all because it will be part of my life for the next few months.

So that's all for today!  Thank you all for hanging on!  I really will try to be better about posting now that I'm not quite as sore.  Thank you all so so so much!!  I hope you have an incredible week!!
