But instead of answering the first two questions, I will jump directly to the 3rd one, and I guess if you want to "really really" do something meaningful you will find time anyways.

I love to think I'm a lipstick only kind of gal but I go to the store and everything is soooo pretty! I'm a sucker for colour and fragrance. More-often-than-I-care-to-admit unnecessary make-up shopping is one of my time-sucks. Tragedy is, I don't wear makeup on a daily basis.
