Since this week in the United States we will be celebrating Thanksgiving, I have decided to put together a list of the Top 10 Things I Am Thankful For (with regards to beauty, makeup, hair, etc.). So don’t think that I am a shallow or vain person – this isn’t a list of the things I am most thankful for overall (like family, friends, health, life, etc.); rather, this is really a list of the simple things that often get overlooked, but that I am thankful for as a woman.
1. Hot water. I can’t imagine having to wash my hair, shave, or take any kind of a shower in cold water every day. I’ve had to do it a few times when the water heater has malfunctioned and it is not pleasant. And what would any woman do without an occasional bubble bath?
2. My hair dryer. I don’t know about anyone else, but my hair is a mess if I can’t use a hair dryer on it. It ends up strangely wavy and yet somehow very flat if I don’t dry it. I can do without it for a few days, but if I had to give up drying my hair altogether, I don’t know what I’d do!
3. Nail files. Such a simple little tool, but how much trauma does it cause when you break a nail? I know people make jokes about it, but it is horrible to have your nail jagged and catching on everything when it breaks. So I’m thankful for nail files that keep our nails looking well-manicured and beautiful!
4. Toner. I’m obviously also thankful for my whole skin care routine, but especially for toner. My skin gets so dry and flaky without it and nothing is worse than running out of toner and having to go without until to you can get to the store to buy more (I am getting really close to that point…)
5. Mascara. Just a touch of mascara can change your whole look. If you have no time for any other makeup, mascara can somehow save the day and make it look as if you’ve gotten ready.
6. Mirrors. How could I forget mirrors? We wouldn’t be able to do anything without mirrors. While they may not always be our best friend, can you imagine trying to do your hair without a mirror? Or what about your makeup? And how would you check to make sure that your outfit matches? Yes, I am very thankful for mirrors.
7. Cotton balls. I shudder to think what my life would be like without cotton balls. They are so versatile; I use them for toner, moisturizer, finger nail polish remover, and so many other things!
8. Handbags. Every woman needs to have at least one great handbag. They are both fun and practical. We need something to carry around our money, cosmetics, and phones in anyways, so they might as well be cute and match our outfit!
9. Almost there! Number 9 has to go to toothpaste. I’m sure we’ve all been in a situation where we couldn’t brush our teeth and were dying not being able to. Imagine never being able to achieve that minty fresh feeling. I don’t even like to think about it!
10. And last, but certainly not least, tampons. I don’t think I need to say anything to explain or justify myself on that one, right ladies?
Happy Thanksgiving to you all! If you can think of anything I’ve left off this list that you are especially thankful for, let me know!

I am thankful for all of the above as well. I have to add one though… An eyebrow pencil saves my life everyday! I would consider it a staple!

Hi - I’m sorry to hear that you won’t be able to keep up your blog, but I’m interested to learn the details of transferring it to someone else. You can e-mail me privately if you like. Thanks!

Hi, I just read your comment on Beauty Addict’s blog about no longer being able to stay at the helm of your own blog. This is my first visit to your site, and from what I’ve seen thus far, I’m impressed. I am curious to know what you are asking for in return for handing over the reigns at Beauty Secrets 101. I am a “Product Junkie” (and that’s putting it mildly). I believe that each and every woman is beautiful in some way. Some need a bit of coaching on technique, others cajoling in order to break out of a self-imposed rut, to try something new. I believe that a little bit of girl paint can have a world of difference on a woman’s outlook on life, and not just her physical beauty. I also am of the school that believes that less can be more. I think it’s important for women to let their natural beauty shine through at all times, and I’d like to help them achieve that end.
Thanks for your time! Good luck to you and may your future be bright!
Sincerely,
Kirsten Yatras Lahnemann

I agree with you regarding point numbers 1, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9 and most importantly, point number 10. But another thing on which I am too much thankful is “lemon”, as because I use its juice to keep my skin clear and healthy and I even use it in drinking water mixed with honey to keep my figure in perfect shape.

I like them all but #10. I’m a Divacup user myself & am more thankful for that than I ever had been for tampons. Between tampons and pads, the waste is incredible. Too much dryness as well. Anyhow, I’ve said my piece.
