From shower to "out the door," how long I take to get ready on an average day:
I am very slow getting ready and I am a perfectionist. This is also my time to myself. Probably one hour to one and a half hours.

Ah, memories... My biggest junior high beauty mistake:
I try to forget these! But probably too heavy eye shadow and blush.
Most cringe-worthy beauty treatment I've ever endured:
Solar tip acrylics on my nails. I broke one in the middle and it caused my natural nail and the skin underneath to break. When the acetone nail remover hit that area...AGONY! The pain shot up my arm. Only natural nails for me from now on.
About Me:
Since I am a biochemist most people find it odd that I love makeup and beauty. Biochemists can care about their looks too! I find it a fun and expressive way to enhance my looks. It is a great way to have "me" time and pamper myself.
