Eye lash replacement therapy here I come.

I'm jealous of my friends who use beauty tools like it was their job. I won't name names, but I have several friends who have tremendous special ability in key critical areas...like my friend who can use tweezers like a neurosurgeon, or my friend who can give herself a knockout blow-dry without even looking in the mirror--letting alone burning her forehead. Or my sister, who can curl her eyelashes to perfection. Many, many years ago, she tried to show me how to do it. I just couldn't get it right and as a result, I left many eyelashes on the counter which to this day I swear never grew back.

I find that as I grow older, I tend to revisit situations that I could never conquer. I'm not going all "Oprah" or anything, but I have found that age has given me a certain bravery to try things I have previously failed in.

Why I picked eyelash curling is a whole other issue.

Someone, who I won't mention, suggested that I try using waterproof mascara (which dries faster) and heat my eyelash curler with my hairdryer ( 5- 8 seconds) so it can act like a curling iron.
