Just call me the beauty queen
So about a month ago, I was doing my thing that I do in the mornings, drinking coffee and checking my email and reading the News and Observer online. I checked out the front page, any sports news there may have been about my Tar Heels and then, obviously, the lifestyles section. They were running the Beauty Panel -- five people who test out various beauty/skin products and then report their findings for the benefit of the greater Triangle area.
At the bottom, there was a note which announced that Samantha, the beauty and fashion maven, was looking for new members for next year's panel. On the spur of the moment, I rattled off a quick email about my nasty combination skin and how I have no actual career path and spend all my time listening to music.
A few days ago, I got an email back.
I wanted to let you know you are one of our finalists for the Beauty Panel. Congrats! We had more than150 responses. We liked who you were, what you had to say and that you like beauty products.
It went on to detail my duties: writing a mini-bio for publication, getting my picture taken at the paper, and testing out fab new products every 5-6 weeks. Was I up for it?
OH HELL YES!
So I am the newest member of the News and Observer Beauty Panel. You shall be hearing from me for the next year as I detail the intricacies of oil-free moisturizers, quick-drying nail polishes and stinky, sticky lip balms galore. And I get to keep everything I test! Woo hoo!
So I'm sure right about now you are thinking, "...Susannah? Really?" Yes, really. I did do it on a whim and I didn't expect to hear anything back (and wasn't going to be disappointed if I hadn't) but since I did, well, now I have motivation to do my makeup every day instead of looking like a schlub. And now I can let Lisa convince me to buy her expensive powder foundation. And maybe I can even floss (cause toofs is gotta be purdy too!).
Corngranulate me! If I come across anything truly fab, I will let you know fo' sho.
But for the meantime, back to studying it is...

I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!
and yet, I am simultaneously so depressed.
you have no career path (until now, it seems) and yet here I am, living in the most expensive city in the country, and my career is down the tubes.
will fill you in later.
after another subway ride of doom I'm sure.
Uh oh. I don't like the sound of that. :(
(And I really don't think that testing beauty products for the Raleigh paper is a career path, but hey, what do I know?)
Hi, i was looking over your blog and didn't
quite find what I was looking for. I'm looking for
different ways to earn money... I did find this though...
a place where you can make some nice extra cash secret shopping.
I made over $900 last month having fun!
make extra money now
Good point!
