competition everywhere

I wish there was a competition for being the laziest or most uncompetitive. But then again, I would want to win that, so it'd be a ridiculous piece of irony.

Finding out I love my major in a non-mainstream form. Been living my academic life the wrong way! Still looking for myself high and low. Best pieces of advice I've constructed for myself this semester: (feel free to add whatever you think are the most important ideas to live by and I'll try to take it to heart.... even though from experience, people have definitely told me all this, but I could never grasp it until now)

1. Look at the big picture. Don't sweat the small stuff. (And therefore, prioritize)
2. Be open-minded.
3. Don't be afraid to speak.
4. skincare > cosmetics!
5. Learn to say no.

average college student :)

love my friends! <3

Cosmetics & Sex

I know sex sells, but I feel that sometimes, cosmetics companies go a little too far. Before, NARS was controversial for their "Orgasm" and "Deep Throat" blushes, but now, the names are thrown around in a jaded fashion. We recommend and review these blushes without batting an eyelash.

I just received an e-mail from Illamasqua. Now for their quality, Illamasqua is AMAZING. (So is NARS--why are these high quality brands subjecting themselves to risque and even derogatory packaging?) But Illamaqua, why oh why you gotta do this?

Subject Line: Suck, Blow, Climax...

looking for a flame

I really need to find a flame.
I hope I can do it.
Challenges are coming my way.
And I have to stand up to them all.
And battle them all down.
To level up.
