My favorite things| cosmetics
I like Clinque cosmetics Their clinque stick blushers. I especially like their foundations, matte. I can't do without their extra strength facial bars but I find that the daily astringents are either like water or too strong for me.
Origin gel moisturizers and Murad cream cleanser even though it is expensive.
These cosmetics are expensive but I find that some of the drugstore brands are pretty good.
I even like Wet & Wild cosmetics and Rimmel and Cover Girl.
I have a tip for you. I am light skinned and I use the black Opal concealer as an eye shadow. It gives me that smoky look'
I have used Maybelline eyebrow pencils for years.

How I Am Doing
I have been fighting a battle since 2014. I was told I had breast CANCER I went through radiation treatments and two surgeries. I was happy when I was told I was cancer free.
However I was fatigued and depressed. I have had yearly mammeograms and am cancer free.
I still I feel tired and depressed. I have fought this everyday. I feel however that I am coming back to myself. I stopped exercising during the summer. My exercise bike is my form of exercise and is outside. I felt it was too hot outside to use it. I just about gave up and didn't exercise. I think it was because I was trying to do too much and was to hard on myself.
I played the keyboard, exercised, read books on breast cancer felt bad because I could do very little housework and had guilt feelings because I could't do so much in a day. I gave up but I am coming back. I cooked today and exercised. I feel elated because I got my hair cut in a pixie and colored yesterday.
I am trying to eat more vegetables and grilled chicken, reading health tips and I feel better. It is important though not to expect too much of yourself. You may give up like I did but I am coming back. Another great thing. I went up to about 170 lbs. about a year ago. I visited my onnocologist yesterday and was weighed. I weigh 154 pounds and I was elated. If I lose 10 pounds I will celebrate
Goodbye for a while.

How I Am Doing
Here it is September 27,2017 already. I have been waiting for cooler weather and it is finally here. I am going to an event tomorrow where mostly ladies will be. It;s so nice. I have gone the last two years. It;s given by the hospital where I got my breast cancer treatment.
It's a health and beauty expo which is nice. I believe you will look better outside if you are good inside. They give a gift bag that has all kind of cute goodies in it. There's refreshments, a dinner and snacks. I won't be on my diet tomorrow; I think I deserve a few treats.
There's also some entertainment. Last year there were kids doing hip hop dancing, so cute. I hope I see some of the people I know. If not I am being positive and hope I will meet some new ones.. well it is late bedtime. Maybe I'll let you know how it goes afterwards.

Journey Goes On
I haven't written in a while probably because I hate to put things together, writing before I post. So I'll just write off the top of my head. This is what I used to do in school and got good grades. The teacher probably liked my writing skills.
It's been a while and I got a mamogram May 1 and I am happy and relieved to say that I am cancer free. I have to keep reminding myself to try and eat healthy, cut the fast food out, to exercise also. I have to be careful because of other health issues like high blood pressure, cholesterel and I don;t want to get diabetes so I have just about cut out sweets.
Going through the daily radiation treatments for about a month daily was enough but I am glad I did get treatments and caught it before it spread.
Well this is all for now. I'll post about something lighter like organizing and makeup another time.

More of My Journey
I read a bloggers posts and she tells how are friends kept her going and inspired her during hard times. I wonder about this and express that I wish I had friends like this. I suppose I have in my life. .
It seemed like I have been coming in contact with some people who are always worried that somebody else has more than them. Some blame everybody for their misfortunes. I don't know. I hope I am not that way.
However I have mood swings and they probably affect the people around me. I must say that there are people who will work for you to be your best. I remember a Doctor who helped me through radiation treatments in 2014 for breast cancer. He congratulated me for finishing it and made me feel like I had people who inspire me to be great and high energy. I think about others like that when I am on my exercise bike and playing my piano solos on the keyboard, also writing as I am doing now. I
have to sum up the energy and remind myself that I have to keep going.
Now that I think of the people who supported me in somethings I was doing I know I was wrong in thinking I had none who did. Taking care of yourself and being the best you can is just to bring the energy in you up and keep on keeping on.

Accept Or Not
It's strange how some people complain about some people not accepting them. However some of these people are so rude and bossy that they make it hard for you to be around them. Some of the people who are not accepting them are snobbish yes but you can't;t expect everybody to accept you or like you.
The thing is often when you want to be accepted by a group of people you have to become like them. This is fine if these people are cool and not going down. If they are and doing things you don't want to do like drugs or alcohol all the time you are better off not being a part of them. Remember don't compromise your values and goals to be accepted. Look for people who are inspirational and want the things as you do.

Is it That Bad
I am full of chaos in my head. I think I can partially blame it on the news and the current events of our country. I have to put those things out of my mind and learn to clear my mind.
I know how. I will finish reading Debbie Reynold's book. This is the third book I have read by her. Even though this great lady is deceased, she is still a mentor to me. Her life is full of good things and some bad also, having survived three bad marriages. I have survived two divorces but I have been with my husband about thirty years.
No it was not perfect but we learned to compromise and work together to make it. In other words, we just work it out. We stayed. Some people give up and don't. Ruby Dee and her husband said when asked the secret to their long marriage that they just stayed. I knew what she meant.
The other things that I do to keep the chaos out of my mind is to watch videos of makeup and fashion. When the bad and negative thoughts come in my mind I pray. It works. Well I just wanted to share this with you.

Much To Do About Nothing
So what's my day going to be? Should I go to an event today? There's going to be a celebration in our town of food and music. Or should I get my nails done at the local nail shop or go to Sallys and pickup that stuff I may need for my hair or just leave it like it is?
Should I continue to change things around organize my makeup, my closets and tell myself I'm cleaning house? Maybe I'll just get crazy and look for things that need to be cleaned in my house and do housework. Then I'll be one of those ladies who keeps a spotless house and get excited about how the latest household product works.
If I'm lucky I may stay home and just do whatever I damn well please even if it's just
staying in bed half the day.
That's life.

Sheerilee's Daily Doings
So this Sheerilee and all her zany things. This isn't supposed to be a journal but I feel like venting.
So I awoke rather lazy this morning and decided I was just too tired to do very much. I've been going around like a robot during the week trying to do this and that in my house, trying to be perfect and probably doing less than when I'm not and just going about life.
This week I managed to lighten my hair a little and felt better. I went shopping the usual for personal things and fun at a local drugstore. I decided to look in Payless Shoe Store and ended up with two pair of shoes and a new bag. I love shoes and bags. I decided Iwould get the same heels Ialready had because they were comfortable and a pair of white wedges for the summer. I thought the shoes I already have were scuffed up and found out that they look almost as the ones I bought like them. So I'm taking them back and getting a different pair, the same kind but in a different color.
Today I decided instead of buying chips and pretzels I'd started eating healthy again so instead of junk food I had a big chicken salad for dinner. However I also had a margarita. You have to have a little spice in your life.
Well what I haven't been telling you is I've been getting my spring/summer wardrobe together. The shoes are a part of it.
So far I've bought a pair of Danskin athletic pants, a pair of black knit pants, about 5 different T=shirts of different colors. I need one more pair of crops and two pair of shorts. I get these things gradually. I also have two pair of sport shoes, one pair of keds, and one pair of walking shoes. These I bought from Big 5.
Well until next time I'll be thinking of you. I hope I won't buy another pair of shoes when I exchange the ones I have. Well this is my zany world. Oh I forgot I also bought a Little Kitty notepad. I like Little Kittty.

Been Away
So here I am in my room alone. I had to post tonight to let you know why I haven't been blogging. I have the flu. It has taken my energy and left me tired and lifeless. I am a little better today though. I want to share this with you.
I wanted to go to the drugstore today and get my weekly personal things but after feeling better this morning I seem to have been knocked down and had to go to bed again. I did get out the first of last week and went shopping at Dillards. I got a gift purchase from the Estee Lauder counter. I spent about $70.00 and got the full gift. I love these kind of things so it's unlike me that I haven't tested all the cosmetics yet.
It's strange when you're used to getting around and doing things and all at once you don't and not the same. It makes you more appreciative of being able to do those things when you are better.
God gives us life like that that we sometimes take for granted. I realize how much they mean.
See you until next time. Any comments will be appreciated. Your feedback will probably health.

So I'm alone now. I cherish my alone time. However I must admit I'm beginning to mis my counterpart, my husband. He went browsing in the store and he likes to do. Sometimes I value my alone time too much when I don't want anybody around now even him.
Maybe that's loving it quite a bit but I must admit that I value my alone time but the other things that mean a lot too me to.
Maybe that's loving it quite a bit but I must admit that I value my alone time but the other things that mean a lot too me to.
So why did I change the title of my blog. I changed it because my thing is all about organizing, my cosmetic, drawers, room and house.
However I'm more about keeping myself together. I do these organizing of things to keep myself together. However I know that is not all there is to it. When I'm feeling a bit tense or my mind full of chaos as I call it I know to stop do something for relaxing like reading a good book or playing on the keyboard.
This blog is a journey, my journey. Please join me as I live it.

My Shopping Haul
I have to share with you my latest shopping haul. I decided to go for athletic since I like comfort and think they're comfortable. My wardrobe is girly and a little sophistocated mostly though.
I bought three t-shirts for $12.99 . one for $4,99 . I don't think you can beat that. I love to bargain shop. I bought a team shirt for $22.99. They cost a little more. I won't say which team. I also bought a pair of sweatpants for only $8.99.
I wish I had pictures to show you and I intend to print some in the future. Thank you for looking. Comments would be appreciated.
