"You look gray and you need blush"

So I just want to start by saying that I really hate the word gray/grey. I never know how to spell it so I pretty much switch every time. Everything I've read says that you can spell it either way, is that actually true? Any authorities on the word gray/grey want to chime in and help a girl out?

Anyway, I decided that I wanted to splurge on foundation a few days ago so I went to the Herbergers makeup counter where I asked to be color matched for some foundation. Once I was in the chair the lady looked and me and said "Are you wearing foundation right now???????" to which I responded that I was and that I bought it at the makeup counter at Kohls. She then said "Promise me you'll never wear it again, your face looks GRAY!!!! Also you look really tired. You definitely need a lot of blush. You know those blonde sun-kissed California girls? You want to look like them don't you?". I'm definitely a brunette girl from Minnesota so it's a reach to say that a little blush is going to make me (at 38 weeks pregnant) look like a blonde "California Girl". Ha ha.

The good news is that although she pretty much destroyed all of the self confidence I had in me that day she was actually really good at her job and I have to say that my new foundation looks pretty darn good.

    The "sun-kissed California girl" comment is cracking me up; I've lived in California most of my life, and while I can tan (I tend to burn first though), I'm so paranoid about skin cancer that I avoid the sun and slather on the SPF if I have to g
