I had a very interesting week! I went to a fun event that some bloggers were speaking at, and I got to see some people who are so motivated to succeed, happy, and relentless in their pursuit of growing their businesses!
I had some takeaways from the experience. I realized that I do not have a specific audience in mind for my blog. I blog for me. It is something I do that keeps me on a path of intentional living. However, shouldn’t I have an audience as well? Who would she be if I were to describe her? I worked for a company one time, which decided to pinpoint their typical customer. For that company…their customer ended up being someone similar to Eva Longoria, but she had 1.5 kids and an SUV. If I had to do a mental sketch of my audience, who would that be?

1. She’d be my friend.
This is complicated because my friends age in range from 20 to 65. They do not look like me, or do anything that I do. What we have in common is perspective and relative
sanity.

2. She’d love animals.
People who do not love animals are typically self centered and they suck as people in general. So my followers must love animals.

3. She would have a measure of depth.
I find myself shying away from my totally ignorant friends because they have no meaningful perspective on, well…anything. It sounds mean but some people are just
not functioning at more than average capacity for comprehension and because of that they think I’m crazy and I think they are a waste of my time. If someone says things like,
“Oh, I do not discuss politics,” or “There are many different pathways to God”… then I have learned to shut up and run. Both of these statements are usually code for…”I am an idiot who doesn’t want to exert energy with intellectual thought process.”

4. She would enjoy fashion yet isn’t mesmerized by it.
While she enjoys the occasional handbag or accessory, she doesn’t charge her credit cards up to the max to get the newest acquisitions.
My girlfriend have common sense about these things. Balance and good decisions are everything. Nobody wants to end up homeless with Chanel bags in the trunk of their car. This reminds me of a day a few years back. I was parking and stepping into the bank, and the girl in front of me had on $200 jeans, but the hood of her car was tied down with a
rope that went around the front bumper. Priorities?

5. She does or does not have kids.
It doesn’t matter, because she is still her own person with or without. She maximizes her personal time and has dreams.

6. She loves makeup and anything beauty products even if she’s too scared to use them!
Again, everyone is not the same.

7. She is busy.
We can literally not speak for 6 months, but then when we do, it’s like only a day had passed since we last saw each other. She is busy and knows that I am as well and that’s
ok because she is well adjusted and doesn’t take it personal.

8. She could stand to lose an average of 10 pounds.
She is not perfect but it’s ok…we stand together in our imperfection.

9. She cooks.
And actually, if she doesn’t ever cook, I let her know that she’s an idiot.

So as you can see, I do not come out with a shiny Eva Longoria audience as my previous employer did. My person is the everyday, higher than common, driven, sensible, fun person. She is a mixed bag but a degree of substance is the theme. A lot of my friends are guys, actually. We discuss politics, religion, #Qanon, the Deep State, finances, their women, guns, health, food and the future. They do follow politics because, well… our futures depend on what is going on. All of those fun things that most women do not care to discuss. Those are the things I love.

As far as this blog goes, I am not here to appeal to the universe. I think I am here to prove to myself that i will stick with something that encircles everything that I am and if people like it then that’s great. I get bored easily so in the past I have a tendency to move on to the next project. This blog is something that I continue despite myself. I am not only posting outfits that I get a commission on your click and I am not copying anyone else’s style. The only thing that I am selling is eyelashes but you pretty much have to click on the Bosscat Beauty link to get exposed to those.

I learned a lot more by listening to people speak at the Glam Guide Event, but I do think the point that was brought up about Who Are You Speaking To was quite valid and a point to continue to consider.

I truly miss my blog when I don’t have time to tinker around with it! With the lash line, there’s so much upkeep with the Bosscat Beauty website, as well as my husband’s business that my little blog gets lost in the shuffle.
I recently read an article someone had written about why a blog can be good for your life…and I agreed with a lot of what was written.
Instead of me articulating what someone else has already written and shared with the universe, here is the very interesting link…https://www.becomingminimalist.com/15-reasons-i-think-you-should-blog/ . People always ask why I have a blog and I think that’s a great article to point people to. Then of course…people always tell me that they should start a blog, but if you’re a person who isn’t able to keep a schedule a make a daily list and actually follow through, then don’t bother.
Over time, my initial reasons for starting the blog, have changed. But the article is correct in that blogging does make you live a more intentional lifestyle. Less time is wasted, and personal quiet time is planned better. If there’s a gardening project or a room to remodel, you have the world (in theory) to share the finished project with so it makes you strive to do a better job in all areas!
If you discover something – as in my case, CBD oil for pain – it makes me want to share my thoughts or discoveries with people other than with my immediate, tiny circle. (My circle is shrinking because I finally realized that those who impact us negatively have no place in the circle.)
While I am not the most interesting woman on the planet, that’s ok. It’s not about that. Blogs are about reality. Whatever that may be. In my case, reality was another simple Sunday together so after brunch, we went to the park to feed the ducks and then off we were to the grocery store. Of course< he wanders off like a bad 5 year old so don’t think we’re holding hands and skipping together up and down the isles.
“You’re wearing your boots again?” he asks as we leave the house. he knows I love these “Jilted” boots from Dan Post, and he only says this to torture me. “Yes. What’s the problem? Are you the boot police? Do you need to micro manage my shoe choices?” It’s taken me years to realize that he just talks to engage me in conversation. Again, like a bad child that constantly asks questions they don’t really care about. They do it to engage with others.
He doesn’t like anything too heavy. Money, financial planning and tennis are his favorite topics while the Deep State crime lords, Alex Jones and the current Q threads on 8chan are my current favorite topics. Reality is too insane for most so here we stick to clothing and lashes.

I am not entirely sure that a velvet baseball hat is a thing to anyone else but me. That being said, it has rained constantly for the entire month so it’s nice to not fight for pretty hair in 85% humidity on a cold, rainy day off.
I love Johnny Was flowing tunics on any day because nobody knows if you’re fat, or so super fine that it’s best for your own safety to remain very well covered up. 🙂 Or at least that’s what I tell myself. I threw on a velvet bolero since it was cold – and before the heat strikes and velvets are put away until next year.
Most people throw on leggings and a tee of some kind on their day off but I just can’t do it. To just schlep though life on the daily is not my thing.I’m not quite so emotionally burdened that I typically find getting dressed to be a profound hardship. I’m not in gym mode this past year due to a neck issue that causes a sleep issue that causes an everything else issue, so leggings and gym clothes are put away lately.

Recently, away on a work trip flight, I noticed that roughly 30% of the rest of the female population travels in leggings with all of their frontal crotch area, and assets hanging out – good or bad. This is something that male friends discuss now and then, because most men think it’s insane that women wear sheer leggings as pants. I had to do a double take because I thought a woman was naked at The Golden Nugget two weeks ago, but instead…she had on skin colored leggings. Yes, I snapped a photo for proof. I am too decent to post it anywhere,though. I suppose my point is – that although I may not be typical, at least I am not naked with too-sheer leggings showing off my who-ha. So no judgments, please.

This was literally a “Hey, let’s grab brunch and go to the grocery store and please don’t take more than 20 minutes to get dressed” day. It’s not that serious.
fashion is fun. It’s art. Your choices tell the world who you are. Just as choosing to show your crotch to the world tells people that you are super proud of your crotch or that you do not realize that you have a crotch and you think nothing of it. Or do you think all crotches are equal and they should all be proudly displayed as such? There needs to be a study.

Really though, getting dressed and making choices is not rocket science. Just fun and comfort and individuality. Or not. The crotch exhibitionist thing is a case study all it’s own, but that aside, my biggest thing right now is lashes. I’m playing with my new lash line almost daily to try different looks and work on that business. Lashes with no makeup. Lashes with tons of makeup. Lashes with retro liner, progressive liner, no liner. Lashes, lashes, lashes.

As for clothing, fashion and style…I do start noticing more and more what older ladies in their 50’s or 60’s wear. At some point, life will pull me aside, sit me down and say, “Bitch please…put the heels away.” Not yet though.
