I have not stopped wearing make up for some great cause.
Matt was packing our bags as we were getting ready to leave my grandma's house on Friday and I was putting everything to be packed in one spot in the living room. This spot was surrounded by all of our bags and Matt was putting everything where he deemed appropriate.
I put my bag-o-makeup in a baby wipes box so it wouldn't get crushed in the suitcases. I sat the baby wipes box next to the swim diapers to be packed.
Matt asked me if we should just leave the swim diapers at Mimi's house so we would have some for the next time we came. I said yes. He put them in the closet.
We left.
Fastforward 24 hours later when we're getting ready to head back to the airterminal in Dover, Deleware and we're at our hotel. I've just showered and MAtt has the kids at the hotel pool while I get ready.
I'm ready to put on my makeup.
I start looking through the bag with my stuff in it. Not there.
I COMPLETELY tear apart EVERY suit case in the hotel room.
Not there.
I start crying. Now is this a SANE reaction? No. But it's been a horrible HORRIBLE 24 hours and PMS is playing a big role in this. And I'm not just crying, I'm sobbing.
Matt comes back. (There was his first mistake. haha)
I ask him if he packed my make up. He says he packed everything I put out to be packed.
I tell him it was in the baby wipes box next to the swim diapers.
His face drains of color and he freezes.
The look on his face seals the fate of my makeup. It's at Mimi's house, hidden in the closet under the stairs right next to those swim diaper.
Matt informs me that it was a poor choice to pack my makeup in a babywipes box.
I inform him it's a bad choice to stash something in a closet without looking in it or consulting me.
And now here I sit....with no make up. Desperately awaiting next week, when the package my sweet sister Rebecca mailed to me this morning (which also contains a lot of my self confidence) will hopefully arrive. This ash cloud had better not get in the way of my mail coming. It doesn't know who it's messing with. Until then, it's all natural for me. And it's not pretty.

hahaha awe i am sure you look great even without the makeup. although i know i would be saying the same thing about myself if i was in the same situation.
Sara, I think that you look beautiful without makeup and you know I've seen you without it. Try to relax a little.
i'm seriously lamenting not making bryce blow his "thing" on saturday so we could see you. :( maybe he would have if i'd told him matt was there. :P glad you got home. hope the make up makes it.
I went granola years ago, it's liberating...and not to sound like a broken record, but i have seen you many a time over(granted it has been years)and it is true, you rock with no make-up!!
Hahaha this is so awesome. Not the missing make-up of course, but the interaction between the two of you. Totally would be the same conversation Brady and I would have. We went on a trip to Seattle yesterday and left at 7am. I am trying to sleep train Carter and asked him to get me a diet coke in the car because I was SO tired. He forgot. We had some sort of conversation like this.
If you really must, just go buy some mascara at the drugstore and wear that until the good stuff comes. mascara always perks up a face, no matter what. if i were in this situation, that's all i'd be missing. i'm too lazy to deal with anything else. i'm too lazy to even deal with mascara 4 days or more out of 7. my lucky lucky husband. especially in the summer when i'm tanned. then i never bother. i'm so lazy.
I actually think you are pretty gorgeous so you might start a no-makeup revolution! Not with me though. I have an insane amount of hyper-pigmentation thanks to pregnancy. I have a freckle mustache. I am thinking of having my face lasered off. Can they do that?
You are so brave - I would have put my family in debt paying any price for make-up the first place I could find it. Bravo.
You are tooo funny! Is that a WORM in Hallie's hands???? Mom
