The eyes have it
Another beauty product review: Lash Stiletto.
Just like with my shampoo, I've been loyal to one specific mascara for quite some time now but I'm easily enticed by commercials. On a trip to the drug store to pick up unrelated items, I stood in front of the display of mascaras for minutes, picking up and putting down different ones. Ultimately I decided on the mascara with what I thought the better packaging, the best commercial, and its promise to make my lashes longer. I don't put a lot of faith in drug store cosmetics but I'm finding out now that I'm wrong not to. Maybellene's Last Stiletto does exactly as it promises. My lashes are longer with just one coat, but three makes them nearly as long as they are when I wear falsies.
It's mascara love.

Rapunzel, Rapunzel Let Down Your Hair
My hair's the longest it's been since kindergarden. It's hardly long enough to unfurl down a wall to have a prince come rescue me but soon enough!
Speaking of hair, I've been a loyal user of Nexxus products for quite some time now so I decided it was time to make a switch. After several minutes (closer to five to ten), I made my selection: John Frieda's new Root Awakening for Healthy Hair. I've been hooked since the first use. The smell is amazing, light and invigorating. Its lather is rich and dreamy. But most importantly, my hair is bouncy, shiny and touchably soft. My love for my hair has been renewed.

someone's gettin' crafty
and not wearing makeup on her day off.
that someone would be me.
this would be my slowly growing hello kitty watch collection.
I knitted something!
I also made a feathery headband. I'm not sure how I feel about it though.

valentine's day with no valentine?
it's the first time in years for me but that's no reason why I can't get festive.
Today will be spent baking cut out sugar cookies and some sort of cupcake (red velvet with a cream cheese icing probably).
I was eating conversation hearts this afternoon and found one that said "Don't Tell". Don't tell? this is not romantic. Sounds like the conversation heart a rapist would give his victim.

I've been completely in love with Mary Blair recently (thanks to daniel).
I think I'd like to get this tattooed on my right side (instead of the CandyLand scene) OR the CandyLand done in the style of Mary Blair.
hmm..
there ain't no win in winter
I updated my 2008 mix cd...too bad the cd exchange at work was over a week ago. Away went Cold War Kids (do I really actually like them? I don't think so), I swapped out one Passion Pit song for another, added Chester French, The Bird and The Bee and the Ting Tings. I'm extremely happy with it.
After tomorrow my little man will not be able to make little men. Miles is getting fixed.
I was the laughing stock of a small gathering of homeless at last evening's Gallery Hop. This sounds like it could be a really hilarious story but I promise it's not. I was walking into a bookstore, I tripped over some uneven sidewalk but caught myself and tried to pretend like nothing happened and no one saw it but I was then approached by a snickering homeless woman asking for 35 cents. I stop, hand her a handful of change, she's talking to me about buying chips, looks down, notices that I'm wearing flip flops (yes, I realize there's still snow on the ground but I've been waiting MONTHS for it to break freezing so I could be reunited with my beloved Rainbow flip flops), she calls over several of her friends and they all stand around laughing at the fact that I'm wearing flip flops in February.
The most random things tend to happen to me. Things that don't happen to anyone else. I like it that way.
