Everyone is looking for something unusual to give Mom (and I use that term to include aunts, grandmothers, friends of family who act like moms for you or to you. I have a mom that is like that. She’s not my mom but she was my surrogate grandparent for my child. She’s awesome!)

Plot
The majority of mankind has been evacuated, leaving just a few solitary drone repairmen remaining on the planet’s surface. Their job is simple — stand guard over the ruins of a once-great empire by patrolling the skies, and ensuring the drones continue to function. Jack Harper (Tom Cruise) is nearing the end of his mission to extract resources essential to the survival of the human race when he witnesses a spacecraft fall from the sky. Upon investigating, Jack discovers the capsule contains a mysterious woman. With mission control watching his every move from high up above the clouds, Jack embarks on a spectacular adventure that will not only challenge everything he’s been taught about mankind’s most defining battle, but perhaps alter the entire course of human history as well.

Makeup Mania: Where I Got My Beauty Inspiration + How I Became an Almay Spokesperson!
Some people only know me as I currently am but everyone has a “starting point” – a frame of reference that they see as what they were at a certain “aha” moment in time and they progress from there with mental snapshots as well as visual ones that embed themselves into our personal psyche as who we are/were at that time. I have memories that go back to when I was two for sure and lots more since then. I remember my favorite dolls, dresses, what I liked to do as a tiny kid (and I mean under 5). I remember the sight of my mom getting dressed up to go out. She was all aswirl with her very short hair (a 50′s + punk twist on short hair is the best guesstimation from my personal memories. High heels I would try to wear and she would shoo me away out of them before I destroyed them. I remember hunting through her jewelry box looking at all the different pieces–trying to figure out HOW to wear all these things she would put on- yet didn’t look the same on me. Kids see their parents often with awe.. and little girls watch their mother apply their makeup AKA war paint as something so imspiring of being an adult or “grown-up”. Who didn’t want to have black eyeliner or mascara, and gorgeous lipsticks in which I was to never use them as crayons ever again.
