It's funny how sometimes I don't realize I'm an expert in something because it's just part of my routine.
Case in point:
At work, there's a project involving beauty products going on. A coworker suggested to the writer working on it that he should probably ask me for any tips...as I'm apparently quite the hair, skin, and make up guru. I thought about it for a minute and I realized that I really kind of am. Not because I went to beauty school or something like that, but because I basically get a girl-boner every time I step foot into a beauty supply store...or heck, the cosmetic aisle at Walgreens. I just love beauty supplies and cosmetics. Shiny new lip balms, shimmery eye shadows, new lotions, hair dye (duh), even freaking deodorants---I just go crazy for the stuff.
So I told the writer to come to me and I'd help if I could.
Later on my favorite conversation in history thus far occured:
Writer: "Hey Tiff, so facial scrub...when should you use it? I mean do you use it everyday?"
Me: "Um, not everyday."
Writer: "But what about if you use foundation?"
Me: "I use foundation everyday, but I don't necessarily need to use a scrub. Scrubs are good to exfoliate, but maybe only 2 or 3 times a week at most. I just use face wash everyday."
Writer: "Face wash? Is that a thing?"
