A Lesson in Consistency From The MAC Counter

LaMonique Mac with a MAC makeover

I had the pleasure of receiving a “natural look” makeover at the MAC counter. It was on a weekend and it was crazy busy. I watched the makeup artist/manager “Stacy” handle it all with finesse. You could tell she had a real passion for her job. Being a lover of all things art, caused me to ask her, “How did you get into this line of work?”

Stacy MAC Makeup Artist & Manager

Interesting enough Stacy had a degree in science and had previously worked as an engineer. She began doing makeup (mostly for weddings) on the side. She would often visit MAC for her make up artistry inventory. Eventually, she was at the store nearly every day just hanging out and helping. Finally, the staff said, “Hey you should work here.” So she began working part time. Her consistency in her passion shined through and led MAC to offer her a job as a manager. Now she has traded in her science beaker for makeup brushes and brings joy to every lady that has the pleasure of sitting at her makeup counter.

How I Stopped Binge Eating Naturally

I secretly binged on food and junk for years. For as long as I can remember my cardinal sin has been chocolate. I have an 18 year old son (Junior) and I remember when he was just an infant if I ever felt stressed I would eat Hershey chocolate bar after Hershey chocolate bar. As a mom with a new baby boy I signed up for a Sam's Club membership (strictly for the bulk diapers of course). Well it wasn't long before I found myself in the bulk candy aisle. Q: Doing what, you say? A: I was buying Hershey chocolate bars by the case. Ashamedly I must admit, I would eat those chocolate bars until I literally became sick. This bad habit along with the poor portion control habits I learned as a child would stick with me for the next 18 years. Honestly I wouldn't have called myself a binge eater at the time. The only disease that I understood to be a food disorder was "bulimia". In my mind if I wasn't purging then I didn...
