A picture a day keeps the writer's block away

"In a world of disorder and disaster and fraud, sometimes only beauty can be trusted. Only artistic excellence is incorruptible. Pleasure cannot be bargained down. And sometimes the meal is the only currency that is real. To devote yourself to the creation and enjoyment of beauty, then, can be a serious business - not always necessarily a means of escaping reality, but sometimes a means of holding on to the real when everything else is flaking away..."
~Elizabeth Gilbert, 'Eat, Pray, Love'

review: TRESemmé Heat Tamer Spray

This was posted awhile ago but guys check out my review that got posted on my good friend’s awesome tumblr that has like a billion followers :D

powderdoom:

This post should probably be prefaced with a quick backstory: I’m really, really low maintenance when it comes to primping. Despite the fact that I’m writing an entry for a beauty blog, and I love my gorgeous friend Chi Chi (who also happens to co-run this blog) to death… I just can’t ever bring myself to spend more than 5 minutes on making myself look “good,” especially on a daily basis. At least with makeup anyway…. Most days I can’t even be bothered to put on eyeliner or mascara before work. Yeah, I wasn’t exaggerating. But there is one thing I can justify breaking my 5-minute-primping rule for: straightening my hair.

I must say, it took awhile to truly appreciate it, but I do love my hair. Naturally curly, it grows fast and fairly strong but not too thick. It’s curly enough that if I let it dry naturally I’ll get volume and some ringlets but nothing crazy; yet, it’s not so finicky that I can’t straighten it in under 20 minutes and notice a huge difference between my natural hair. Like my makeup, I normally can’t be bothered to spend more than 5-10 minutes on a hairstyle before pulling my hair back in 2 clips and calling it a day. But, for whatever reason, I’m decidedly less careless about my hair than my makeup. To see the rest of the review and pictures, please click the cut!

Yeah, this one was kind of a no-brainer. Love my Rayovac :)

Day 10: something from your childhood.

For as long as I can remember, my Gram has been the only other member of my family besides me who likes black jellybeans (a delicacy only appreciated by those with the most refined pallets!) Thus, even as a 22 year old, I still look forward to a big ole bag of them from her on Easter morning :)

Day 9: a picture of someone you love.

The people who make Vibrams get my love today. Barely 2 days in my possession and I’m already head over heels. Wore them to Zumba for the first time and it went pretty well. Guess we’ll see if I’m able to walk tomorrow :p

PS: hi. I’m back. :)

Heyyy. So exciting news. I decided one tumblr I don’t update wasn’t enough, so I decided to make another! And I’m actually really, really excited about it. Follow, submit, etc etc?

http://mswordsuggests.tumblr.com

Actually, backing up to the “one tumblr I don’t update” bit, I’ve decided I’m going to pick up where I left off on my photo challenge. So, Monday the 9th I’ll start back up on wherever I left off. Someone I love, I think? Yeah. that will be happening.

Cheers :)

Day 8: a bad habit.

HAVE I MENTIONED THE POPCORN AT WORK IS AWESOME. also free. This is dangerous.

This could have alternatively been “saying I’m going to post a picture every day but not doing it.” You get popcorn instead.
