I wore eye make up yesterday. This is the first time in a very long time that this has happened.
Want to know why it had been so long?
I am lazy when it comes to girly stuff. I have nail polish and rarely use it. Got a flat iron, curling iron, and hot rollers and they’re all dusty.
I didn’t wear eye make up for over a year (at least) because I didn’t have eye make up remover. That’s it. That’s my reason.
I fixed that last weekend and finally got some. And I remembered yesterday why I don’t do much with make up.
I like eye shadow and eye liner, but they don’t return the feelings. I’m not very good at doing my own make up, which might be why I stick with powder and chapstick.
I can barely put eyeliner on straight. Do you ever do your liner, think you did a good job, and then look in the mirror and each eye looks totally different? That’s me. Liquid liner will never have a place in my bathroom because I know – I know – what a mess I will make on my face.
Also. Anytime I have mascara on, it’s a given that I will have to rub my eyes for some reason. Rubbing eyes + mascara = raccoon eyes. That definitely happened yesterday, too.
But I did it. Eye shadow, smudgy liner, mascara.
Maybe I’ll get better with practice? Maybe I just need new make up…
Another thing I’m not normally good at?
Making milkshakes at home.
I always, always, always add too much milk. I promise I don’t try to ruin them on purpose! I can usually fix them if we have more ice cream, but it’s not a good thing when you’ve already used all your ice cream and now you’re left with a thin, milky smoothie when you wanted a thick milkshake.
And here’s where milkshakes and make up are the same for me.
I need to practice.
Probably not at the same time, but milkshakes AND make up are always a good idea.
Serve these up for your holiday meal – they’ll go great with pecan pie.
Also – I kept these family friendly, but they would be insane with some vanilla vodka or bourbon mixed in.
Gingersnap Milkshake
Makes: 1 serving. Multiply for more!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup vanilla frozen yogurt
- 1/4 -1/2 cup milk, depending on how thick you like your milkshakes
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 3 gingersnap cookies
- 2 gingersnap cookies, crushed
Directions:
- Put your frozen yogurt, milk, vanilla, and 3 cookies in a blender. Flip the switch and blend the shake until the cookies are broken down and the shake is thick and creamy.
- Pour the crushed gingersnaps into a shallow dish.
- Dip the edge of your glass into your shake and then dip into the crushed gingersnaps.
- Carefully pour the shake into your glass.

yummmm, loving all the gingersnap recipes i’m seeing today. i posted one too! i bought that same bag of gingersnaps :) so good!
those are the BEST gingersnaps! they’re the only kind i’ll buy.
I agree!
Wow, lady! This looks delicious! Love that cookie crumb rimmed mason jar- that’s how you do it right! xoxo
We could have these with breakfast. I really don’t see a problem with that. Bourbon or not, I’m cool with it :)
They look so, so delicious.
i agree :) i probably would make one today, but i’m out of ice cream now.
I am laughing, I use to have the same thoughts on make-up.
Dont laugh, I have actually you tubed it!
I’m totally with you on the make-up. Although I’m lucky if I get powder on!
i’m super low-maintenance too! i wear makeup but only a little bit and couldn’t care less about the brand, etc.
who wants to pay for $$ makeup when you can use that money for ingredients? :) I have vanilla ice cream in my freezer…looks like I need to pick up some gingersnaps!
WITH YA on the makeup. Working from home means – Bev always looks homeless.
;)
I want that milkshake. BIG TIME.
haha – same here! you should see me today. i’m a mess. holey jeans, thermal, t shirt, slippers.
I am in the same make-up boat as you. I don’t feel like I’m good at it. Red lipstick makes me think I look like a clown. Whatever. I’d rather have the option to rub my eyes than wear mascara!
I’ve been in the mood lately for gingersnaps–this recipe looks great :)
same here with the lipstick! i don’t even own ANY because i feel like i look strange in it.
How cool! I love this idea :)
Eye makeup is the worst. I *think* I have it down now, but sometimes I still look like I got run over by a truck (the words of a good friend of mine’s).
you and me both :)
I love this idea. Looks so good and delicious! I love the photographs and the presentation. Lovely!
thank you so much!
wow these look phenomenal. And eye makeup is overrated anyways. Just go with a neutral shadow and a slick of mascara, and that’s all you need ;)
this may be the best thing i’ve seen all day…. omg.
thanks! i should know by now to only post about things when i still have the ingredients to make it again. i’ve been craving one all day and have NO ice cream!
I totally suck at makeup….and hair….love the gingersnap on the edge of the glass-such a fun touch!
I don’t do makeup either generally, so I totally feel you: Why is it that it’s only when you’re all mascaraed up that rubbing your eyes is like the most incredible-feeling thing in the world?! Just like I seem to only put on lipstick right before going to eat some amazing dinner and drink too much wine. Sigh…
In the meantime, this milkshake? With the gingersnap-crumb ring? This is amazing.
What a delicious combination and it is going to be in the high 70s today. So, this would be a great November treat. Thanks for sharing this and please consider adding it to my blog hop.
This looks great! I could totally imagine drinking this at Christmas.
I love anything with ice cream and the addition of gingersnaps. Love this shake!
I deal with make ups everyday but I suck at making milkshakes! Will try this tomorrow.
