Picture Imperfekt

I was shopping at Neiman Marcus on Friday and discovered a couple great products that I have to recommend.


Bobbi Brown Lip Color in Ultra Beige

                      
Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss in Beige

If you have naturally high-pigmented lips that always look somewhat reddish-pink (like me) no matter what lip products you put on, and want to attain a neutral lip color for a look, you have to try these. BB Lip Color delivers a creamy, semi-matte coverage that will help conceal your too-red or too-pink natural lip color without looking thick or heavy. BB Lip Gloss contains botanical extracts including avocado, jojoba, chamomile oils, and aloe extracts that help keep lips enriched and soft.

The ultimate look is a flattering lip color that makes your lips look beautiful but does not become the center of attention. My natural reddish-pink lip color sometimes throws the balance off. I'm not a girl who is usually a fan of lip colors, and the idea of using lipsticks never really appealed to me. However, I love this combination of shades of beige because it complements my emphasis on eyes, lashes, and cheeks very well.


I am also currently in love with this:



It's SAVING my skin in these winter months! \^^/

Achievement

This morning, when I walked into Starbucks at 8:23am, I was immediately asked by the barista "What size?" instead of "What would you like?" This morning, I became the "Tall, hot coffee, bold blend and yes room for cream" girl.

Finally!

Yay! My hair feels so much better now!

The weather has been unreal. It's been raining for nearly 3 weeks!!! I don't even bother blowing out my hair anymore. It's just going to get messed up once I go outside. My hair's been in a ponytail/bun for weeks because it's so long. I'm getting a haircut on Tuesday ... FINALLY. Can't wait. Going to chop some hair off and get new look instead of this boring & repetitive up-do.

Happiness ...

When you cannot fall asleep ...

Classes start next week and I've been trying to fix my sleeping schedule to prepare myself. It hasn't been working too well. When you can't fall asleep when you want to, your mind starts to think about random things ...

I'm really thankful for this summer because I've had a lot of time to think about my next steps and weigh my options. The plan has always been going to law school right after finishing my co-term, but now, I've decided that I don't want to do that anymore. Going down this new path makes me a little bit scared but I feel like it's something that I must do for myself. The thought of interviewing for a job, getting a job and working a job is very intimidating. I really don't know what I'm qualified for. And, I really don't know why I was so stubborn talking on the phones with my parents about this. I just feel like this is something I want and should do for myself, and I see this decision as an option that I have, not a choice I'm forced to make. I just hope I'm not going to regret this ...

Also, been spending time with people who are worth it and who care about me. It's one of the happiest feelings in the world when I can enjoy the company of friends without any added stress or pressure. I'm so done with pretense and hypocrisy, and the feeling that I must put on a smile when I really actually just want to give up and walk away quickly. Regardless of what I end up doing after this year, I must cherish my last year at Stanford as a student and live it in a way that makes me happy.

LSAT is in a little more than a week ... But it's allllmost over!
