incidents.

For lack of a better post, some highly intelligent thoughts:

+Thursday I go to the big hoe down (could that be a pun? i think that could be a pun) in my school gym. Read: not excited. All I can say is that there better be some brownie bites at this function or else I will stand around and sulk over missing a 30 Rock repeat.

+Ikea is becoming my favorite place in the world. I don't need Billy Mays-like screaming to convince me to buy something. I just need someone to slap on a name like Heidltorg to a potato peeler and I'll buy three. Oh and they have $1 frozen yogurt there. 

+There is currently a zit protruding from my chin. According to the internets, this one could be classified as a nodule. Just thought you should know. Seriously, looking for a good time? Go to google images and search pimple diagrams. 

+I am thinking of blogging about food. Or a food blog. Could you guys handle that? Would you read it? WOULD YOU?

+I got some matte red lipstick for that said occasion. It sort of makes me feel like 40's screen siren and not someone who has a legitimate fear of breaking their ankle because they cannot walk in heels.

+Speaking of the word legitimate can we stop abbreviating it, teenage society/people who like to appear like aholes . I am not very down with the kids these days (Example:Where was I at 11:30 Friday night? Watching Golden Girls. On Lifetime.), but when I hear someone add "legit" to a statement it overrides all truth. 

"I bought this Rolex for $15. And I ate ice cream for breakfast! Like legit!"

Alright. Uh huh. I'm on to you,kid. Maybe legit just means "cool," "tight,"or "rad." I don't know, but excuse me while I go fix myself a glass of Metamucil and OJ and turn the dial on my television to Wheel of Fortune.

P.S.

These days are rough, you guys. I mean, we are in a RECESSION. A girl needs to take all necessary measures to claims dibs on her sort of rotting morning banana half.

note to self {an open letter}.

This picture has nothing to with anything. It just makes me smile.

+Blog more. You have ran out of excuses,young lady.

+Send camera away to be fixed for what seems to be the 12th time in the last 3 months.

+Chastise boy who knocked your camera to the ground because he got slightly too into his Single Ladies rendition on a daily basis.

+Attempt two-toned lips. This could be super rad and just generate confused looks from all of your peers.

+Make flower headband tutorial as soon as camera is nursed back to health. See bullet #2.

+Stop lurking on Facebook. You have more important things to do. See bullet #1.

+Watch this movie. And this one too.

+Start making more lists. This seems to be curing your procrastination a little bit. {listography}

3 bottles of nailpolish and 9 1/2 nails.

Clockwise from top,long stem roses, shorty pants, and bahama mama. All by Essie.

Today, my mom and I ventured to Ulta after recieving a flyer in the mail that boasted about an amazing once in a lifetime sale and included a $3.50 coupon. How could I resist(besides, I can be entertained for hours just swatching eyeshadow on my hand, seriously)? Essie and OPI nailpolishes were all buy 2 get 1 one free.Being the cheapskate that I am, I opted for Essie because it's an entire $1.50 cheaper than OPI. It took me a while to choose, but I narrowed it down to the three pictured above. I was a little nervous to jump on the yellow nailpolish bandwagon with shorty pants and still can't decide if it looks cool and lemony on or just like I have a nail fungus problem. Speaking of nail problems, I'm currently sporting 9 1/2 nails, yes, you read that correctly. We don't want to get into details, dear reader, but we'll just say we had a mishap while shaving our legs a few days ago.Anyways, everyone rush to you local Ulta because they have some amazing deals.

P.S. The background of the picture above is from the back cover of a vintage My Fair Lady film book that I scored for $4 at a thrift shop.

A Pocketful of Posie

Those of us who love Benetint, Benefit's lip and cheek stain with a cult following, will be happy to hear about a new version called Posietint. Like it's fantastic older sister, Posietint comes in a little bottle and is applied with a brush, but has a more of a natural pink tone rather than the flushed red that comes from Benetint. Naturally, as a huge fan of Benetint, I made an effort to stop by my local Sephora and give it a try. The bottle isn't glass like Benetint, but rather metallic. It's actually quite adorable and would make any dresser look proud, but that's just me thinking about the prettiness of something over the usefulness. The bottle isn't the only thing different, but the texture of Posietint is a gel instead of liquid like it's sibling. Honestly, this feels like rubbing pink nail polish on my face. The color is nice, though, and is very subtle and natural. This is a great alternative for fair-skinned darlings like me, because Benetint must be used sparingly or else we look like we belong at the Moulin Rouge, which is a look I don't think anyone would really desire (unless, of course,you spend most of your time doing the can-can). Posietint is currently available at your local Sephora or Benetint counter for $28. The price may seem a bit steep (well, at least for a teenage girl with a net worth of $13.47, like me), but if its anything like Benetint it will last you a lifetime (I've been using a 0.08 oz sample of Benetint from Sephora for the last 3 months and I'm only half way through).
