You know what winter storm we're NOT getting?  That one.  As a lover of winter and all things snow related, I am very disappointed with Mother Nature this winter.  WTF?  Chicago has literally had a whopping 7 inches of snow so far..... and its already February 1.  At this point, I mind as well make our snowmobiles a place to dry laundry.  All I request is a walloping of a storm to sweep the Midwest before spring-- you know, a rock solid 2 ft of debilitating snow.  Wouldn't that just be great?  

Next topic:  eyebrows.  Once a month I try to get my eyebrows waxed and tinted.  I used to go to Ulta (at the Bolingbrook Promenade) but the last time I went there (last being the operative word) the lady that normally does them was super bitchy and dismissive and she waxed them too thin, because she was being bitchy and dismissive.  Bye Felicia.

Enter Shana.  Shana is the esthetician that works at Rocco & Rocco, where I get my hair did.  (Dana D does the most amaze highlights and with highlights, you totally get what you pay for).  Fed up with the bizz at Ulta, and finally having realized I should've been going to R & R the whole time, I booked my first eyebrow wax and tint with Shana.  Life changed.  Not only is Shana amaze at the art of eyebrow shaping, she also hates Donald Trump (like me) and loves to talk all things makeup and skin (no brainer since she is a esthetician).

Because eyebrows look best in a natural shape (and also makes the face look thinner), Shana keeps mine in check.  Tinting the brow gives the illusion of fullness without the hassle of having to use an eyebrow pencil.  Also, people just need to forgo skinny-ass, comma-shaped brows.  NO ONE looks good with sperm looking eyebrows.

Below are awesome examples of a strong brow.  Take notes ladies.
How could we not mention Brooke?

Point being to all of this, eyebrows are kinda like each person's God-given oomph-- the icing on the cake to an already-pretty face.  Keep it real ladies; no need to contour, get cray with the bronzer, false lashes.....  a lovely brow, some blush and mascara and you're all set.

I think that's all I got for today.  Oh, how could I forget?!?  I saw The Revenant.  Holy Jesus in the manger.  A must see.  Intense, violent but so compelling.  Leo needs an Oscar people.
