We decided to give Jensie something practical and totally age-appropriate for her birthday this year. Makeup. It was the only thing on her birthday list. And what good is a little new lipstick without your own vanity desk to aid in its perfect application?
Oh boy. Guys, I just don't know if I can do this growing-up thing. J's been watching all sorts of silly "smokey eye" YouTube tutorials and today she told me she wants to start dressing like she's "from the 50s." Goodbye cheap Gap t-shirts, it was fun while it lasted.
Even she can't quite believe we caved. "You even got me mascara? Are you serious?"
It's only for play 'til she's 20. Speaking of...

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Jensie! I love that she's watching smokey eye tutorials on youtube LOL. A girl after my own heart!
ReplyDeleteOh, it gets better. She and her slumber party birthday guests stayed up 'til the wee hours of the morning making their OWN video tutorials. A tech savvy 11 year old with an iPod taped and uploaded the whole thing to YouTube. Just found out. :) I did a "makeup tutorial kids" search and up popped "Bratz Doll Makeup Tutorial" as taught my Emma the 7 yr old pre-tween. So so wrong.
DeleteI must say though, her M&M tutorial is genius! "Make sure you remember to lick it...Ok, eat that one."
DeleteI feel so bad that I missed this. I thought the humphreys day was tomorrow:/
ReplyDeleteHolly, I'm sure she would have loved to have you there, but she was so excited I'm not sure she noticed. She hasn't left her room in two days. :)
DeleteWow wow wow Jensie awesome vanity et al -- Happy Birthday! When you get the smokey eye thing down, teach me :] -- GB
