I Am Unafraid

**This may end up being a two-post Tuesday.  I'll try really hard not to jam up your Google reader but I make no promises!**

Sooooo.... Thanks to The Dooce Community I've been lucky enough to meet some of the most fascinating people.  I seriously wish we weren't all scattered around the world, but either way I am lucky to have met them.  One of those people is Josie Maran who started her own line of environmentally friendly cosmetics.  If you're into the environment and you care what goes into the products you are spending your dollars on, then you need to check out Josie Maran Cosmetics.  You can find her products online or at Sephora.  Oh Sephora...... you and my money have such a love/hate relationship.  I hope you are happy together.



"I am" is the current Real Women feature on Josie's blog.  I love reading the stories of empowerment on there.  Today, I am one of those women.  I am unafraid. I had to share a little more of myself in the bio than I do on this blog to really convey why I believe so much in her products, but it's worth it.  You'll be all "Junket, I never knew that about you" and I'll have to admit that I only play a swearing sailor in the off-hours and then we'll bond or you'll unfollow me on Twitter because I'm not the bad ass I think you thought I was ...or something. It's a little chink in my anonymity armor but that's okay.  Plus, I totally look high in the picture so you NEED to check that out because it won't happen again.  I wasn't chemically high.  It was a natural high.  I just don't know how to properly keep my eyes open.  Now that I think about it, I should have changed my sign to read , "I am Not Faded" or something else along those lines.  Either way, you can check it out right here.

In case you're wondering, I use JMC Tinted Moisturizer and Finger Paints.  They are perfect for everyday use when you don't want to look half dead but don't feel like wearing too much make-up.  Plus, there is SPF in the moisturizer so you're doing yourself a favor in the long run.  As much time as I've spent in the sun in my lifetime, I need all the SPF I can get!  I am challenging YOU GUYS to send in your own "I am" statement to Josie.  From reading your blogs, I know there are some incredible ladies that can help empower others.

 
In my haste, I clearly stuck my fingers in before I took a picture.  Classy, I know.

So, just so you know, I <3 you even more knowing a bit about your background. Biology nerds unite!! :) And thanks for the links. They look like great cosmetics.

Josey said...

Ooooh - I haven't read through your bio on Josie's site, but that's pretty damn cool you're on there. I've actually followed her blog for a long time, simply b/c of the name similarity. :) I'll check it out!

Josey said...

Okay, very fun to know a bit more about your background - great bio Junket! Sounds like you've already done some pretty awesome things in your life, both for sea mammals and children. :)

nice share junket! you're too cute, i also loved the bio. tinted moisturizer sounds like something i need to own as a side note.

Bradshaw said...

I like that Josey has like multiple personalities.

Junket said...

Thanks guys. Also, I think one is the drunk Josey. The question is..which one?

Josey said...

Not sure why I like either of you. Really. :) I'm trying to stick to THIS personality...but I slip up sometimes. What can I say?!

As to which one is the drunk Josey, that's for me to know and you to find out. When are we getting together to hear the CP story and drink beers together? :)

Junket said...

We really should plan something out because I have a feeling it would be A LOT of fun!

Josie Maran said...

Yay for Junket! We are unafraid of digging you, too!

Josie

I have a feeling THAT would involve partying with two Rs. Should I start doing liver pushups? Or stretch my face muscles? Because you know that there would be enough laughter to make our faces hurt.

Basically, that means I'm totally down.

Josey said...

Liver pushups... LMAO... that should fit well into our new exercise regimens Bradshaw - great idea!!

Junket - tickets are CHEAP from where I live to LAX. :) We're talking $50 round trip cheap! That's how I fly out to visit my girlfriend in Costa Mesa. Tho a meeting somewhere exotic would be fun too! Someday. :)

Partying with two Rs... I will forever love this phrase.

Lots of stuff I like on Josie's site - thanks for the reminder Junket!

Kim said...

Well look at you go! :) Is it weird that I'm proud of you?

And I am so stoked about your sea turtle work. You are even more awesome than I thought you were.

Junket said...

We should totally have a "Party with 2 R's" retreat. Let's get some sweatshirts made while we're at it.

Kim - You are too sweet. Someone needs to be proud of me and I'm glad it's you! I had to out myself with the sea turtle stuff to prove my point about environmental cosmetics but it's worth it. I'll try my hardest to stay off my environmental soap box on the blog. I can be rather annoying.

Junket said...

Thanks Josie!! You're an inspiration and you make my face look..well..not as scary as it could be. xoxox
