MAKE UP AND A CHAT IN THE DARK BY FIONA CUMMINGS


Reading the countries stats today, the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth viewers for the moment I looked were New Zealand 7, France 7, Hungary 7 and Brazil seven. I wonder if I should put seven on the lotto this week?

 

Clearing out my emails today, is it just me or do you too get some kind of satisfaction out of putting emails into spam then going into spam and deleting forever? Oh, I love it. I get such a buzz. A sense of freedom. I get so annoyed at people thinking I’m stupid why would I want to open an attachment if I didn’t know the person? Ans some of the emails address me as Dear beloved? What? Who are you even? How many people want to share their millions with me and want to put their money in my bank? How many people have a job for me or want to have sex with me?

Don’t answer the last one….

Oh

Go on then, as long as you are kind. Hahahah

 

Also, people who don’t bother with you for months, suddenly expect you just to be in and drop everything you may have planned and if you don’t, o boy, there is hell to pay. You send emails to people; they are too rude to even answer then they decide that it is the right time to write to you and if you don’t respond within four hours they go mad with you. stuff that lot, I don’t need it in my life thank you. Haha. I’m in a good mood honest. I just love the power of spam. I think my email system is so clever to recognise its spam too, mind you, I do have a lovely Blogget who writes to me and her mail often goes into spam… And she hasn’t asked me to put her money in her bank, give me millions or asked me for sex.

I guess there’s time?

 

Oh, really sad, just heard from my insurance. Okay, so, I have to pay £350 excess. So, the job apparently is going to cost £528. So, I will receive £178. Confused? I was for a moment. That is Okay, I guess at least I will get people who will do the job properly. I hope. But, I fear it won’t be before December. My tree? Oh, no…. I have put so much into this year’s tree too. Hours on line buying decorations. I have decided to make it easier this year by making my tree two colours. My normal tree is chocolate, coffee, cream, bronze and golds with hints of oranges. But getting those colours in order some sort of pattern is a challenge to say the least. But this year, I would learn what baubles are blue and what are white.

 

But when? January?

 

Oh up on the ladders today, whilst my Son ate lunch watching me… Nothing quite like it. hahaha. The window man who came out last night told me I had mould on my windows. Teen said today there wasn’t one bit of mould they were bright white. Gosh, why do people do this? I thought he was a good man too. Obviously wanted to sell me windows as well. And he was the most trusting man. Another one coming tonight, whilst we listen to his bull. I wonder if after tonight we just decide to say stuff it and keep the door we have? So, we lose heat from it, it has a draft, the lock keeps sticking and it broke a key, haha, but it closes and locks if you are careful.

 

I went out before and guess what? It was snowing. It’s so cold but snowing? Wow, it’s early.

 

Two questions I have been asked this week I will try to answer.

1.       Why don’t you like socialising at big events? And my answer is this. When you can’t’ see, and you are in a room where perhaps there is loud music, loads of people talking, to me it’s a nightmare. A social nightmare. If you can see, you watch people’s reactions. You see them smile at you, point to something, you lip read. You can look around the room. Use eye contact and so on.

When you are blind, you sit looking at nothing, if it’s quiet, you can look normal and look towards a sound as if you can see. When you can’t hear anything, you just can’t respond. You don’t even hear people say your name. You hear voices laughing and joining in with conversations, but you are left out. It’s horrible, I just keep away from places events like that. It’s a lot of noise like a messy room. Fighting your way through the mess to get somewhere.

Second question one I get a lot, how do you put your make up on without getting it all over your face?

Well, firstly, good quality of makeup. I use Clarins. If it’s good enough for the queen, haha, it’s good enough for a Fifi Blogger.

 

The makeup was a gift from my Hub when we were dating. He was shocked that I had make up from our local market. And one day took me to town where we used to live and why I ended up on the Clarins desk? I don’t know, but I got a full make over by the girl and the smell was amazing, not nasty heavy just perfect and it went on like velvet with silk ribbons.

 

I use my fingers rather than small brushes I do have a big brush to put on my blusher but I always rub my face as I go then at the end just wash my hands.

 

I try to avoid eye makeup if I wear mascara, I use a clear one. Little is better than lots, I’m fortunate as my close friends tell me I don’t have lines, so nothing like that to cover yet, when that happens, it will be different. I guess I will use a concealer stick, just always rub afterwards but don’t rub around your eyes or you will get wrinkles.

 

 A lot of my blind friends don’t wear makeup. Mainly the friends who have never seen. I wonder if it is because they don’t realise how bad they may look? They have never seen a lady without make up. Unless they are a natural beauty of course? Gosh I remember I had a neighbour who was rather attractive I could see then, and one day she popped her head over the fence and I actually screamed.

Seriously, I was shocked I didn’t even know anyone could look so different. I could see then so I knew it was her especially when she spoke, that kind of confirmed it.

 

To see such a transformation though? Always blend your make up under your chin too don’t stop there or you will have lines. Lips? I just can follow my lips, I’m not sure how to describe this, I just feel where my lips are with my lipstick. May be its years of knowing my face, who knows? I know a lot of people who can’t see get their makeup tattooed on.

Ouch. Nonononononono

 

But if you are brave I guess why not?

Just because you can’t see your face, doesn’t have to mean you can’t feel good about yourself and that is what I love about Clarins make up. It is so luxurious. Expensive but you need very little. Think about what you want out of your make up too, do you really need green eye lids? Are your lashes not already dark, if so do you need to colour them more? Basic and quality.

 

I shut myself away in the office today, left my phone downstairs and did a load of work for someone. It was brain challenging but I loved it. That is finished and sent off. Now for dinner. Heck, it’s never ending, is it? Look after yourselves. Take care coz I care. X
