Healthy Eating

Ok it starts tonight. I am putting on weight and I know I am a skinny minny but I dont want to put on weight an dI also dont want to be feckin addicted to the sugar bowl. You know it's getting bad when you wake during the night eat some sugar, eat some haribo and finish it off with a crunchie. So no more. I have tried a few times but I get cranky, this time I am going to STOP!!! I'll keep you posted . . .

MAC

I started in Mac just over 5 months ago and I have absolutely adored it, but more so I love the people I am surrounded by every day I am in. I get paid to play with Makeup all day, to talk to others about makeup and to share hints and tips and generally it's a dream friggin JOB!

I had toyed with the idea a while ago of looking into social work as I teach on a Friday and in the long term I wanted to help people.

However, I have found that I can help people greatly in my job. A few people in particular have really helped me find reason in my work. Mac Makeup isnt only open to a few people it is open to everyone. The power makeup can give people, every gender, every race every body is immense. I have had a number of people sit down with me who have came to MAC for help, have came to MAC for confidence and who are going through such rough times in their life that a little bit of feel good can bring a ray of sunshine into their life.

I know how much the power of appearance can pull you through the day. When I was incredibly ill on oxygen and when mornings were so unbearable to even get out of bed I would always go to extra effort to make myself look good. My old housemate and very good friend Sara would always know if it was a particularly hard day as I would look a million dollars.

I would come down our stairs makeup on fully and hair preened to an inch of it's life and she would look at me and say " Your feeling mighty shit today aren't you?"

So I truly know that Makeup can make such a difference.

Another amazing thing Mac has given me is the people, I have made a number of friends there who I have had some amazing times with.

Lastly Mac makes me try harder, I can awake in the morning and feel terrible but onc eI get into work I am in auto pilot.

So here's to longer in MAC

The Lotus Flower

A quick one about me, I'm 27 and had a double lung transplant in November 2009. I live with my doggy dexy (a jack russell parsons alike Eddie out of frasers) and my boy Dougie. I currently work in MAC Cosmetics after finishing my HND Makeup Artistry this year. I've started yet another blog which I will try hard to fill in almost daily or weekly PAH! I love my job, I try very hard to appreciate my life and I hope it shines outta me every day.

Expect me to be honest, moany and always thankful.

This wont be a story simply about my life, but about everything . . . . .

So here is to us a new friendship and hopefully an interesting read but if nothing else I hope you find some enjoyment and

I'd like to add a piece here that it may be I will moan about life in blogs but NEVER for a second even on the shittiest day possible am I never not filled with such strong gratitude to be here and to my donor and their family.
