Lady Leatherneck

I will answer these in order.

1) When I went to boot I was told what is expected of makeup. I did not receive any kind of sit down class with instruction (like I thought I would get). Basically, makeup should be natural looking in uniform (using tans and browns for shadows and what not) and things like eyeliner and mascara should not be so thick you look like you belong on Jersey Shore. I will do a video with an actual sit down class for you ladies who wish to know more. I’ll cover nails, lip gloss/stick, shadows, etc.

2) A lot of girls cut their hair before boot. Many cut their hair while in boot (you’ll have two opportunities to do so). However, be aware that cutting your hair short may be just as much of a pain in the ass as having to put it in a bun. You still won’t get to wash your hair every day. You will be expected to keep it tidy, and you will need to keep it out of your face. I will also do a video on how to make an AMAZING sock bun. My fiance is coming back from his drill weekend tonight and I asked him to grab the supplies needed to show you guys.

3) The first couple of weeks were hell. As they should be. I questioned what I was doing. I was tired. I was sore. But at the same time I learned a lot about myself and found strength that I never knew I had.

Glad to be your motivator!
