When I was a kid, my mom would sometimes take me to work with her on the weekends. Throughout the day, I’d sneak into the break room and shove *hella* sugar cubes into my mouth — four or five, sometimes six at a time.
I’d then spend the next hour sprinting down the halls and drawing feverishly in my notebook. My favorite subjects were pictures of calico cats in business suits. 🙂
Mom never quite figured out the source of all my “energy.”
I think my crazy sweet tooth partly explains why I really wanted to like the MAC Sugarsweet collection.
