  • My New Hair

    I finally did it, my friends.

    I finally got it all cut off.

    My hair, that is.

    It was below my shoulders, and I took the plunge today.  At this very moment, it is chin length (in a bob).

    I absolutely love it.  My stylist has been cutting hair for 40 years, and he is a master at his craft.  He always did a great job before, but this time takes the cake.  I'm so thrilled.

  • The key to bras

    My brother's fiancee said that Victoria's Secret bras aren't good quality.

    I told myself that she had to be joking.  That she was only messing around.

    She wasn't.

    Are you kidding me?  VS bras (and panties and everything else) rock my world.  I've had the same bra from there for about four years and it's still in great shape.  The key to keeping them nice?  Put your washer on the gentle cycle, toss your bra in and let the sucker air dry.

    Voila!  There it is.  Easy as that.

    Don't wash them with your other clothes and for the love of God, don't put them in the drier!  If you follow those few things, your bras will last a really long time.

  • Oh my God, shoes.

    Want to hear a story?

    I was born with an extreme case of club feet.  Not only were they turned in, but they were backwards and also upside down.  Terrifying?  Absolutely.  In the Middle Ages, I would have been immediately killed for being a demon.  Of this, I am sure.

    To make a long story short, the bones of both of my feet look like a huge mishmash of God knows what.  From the outside, my feet look fine (other than the massive scarring from multiple surgeries), but take a look at the x-ray and you'll see quite a different story.  I basically have arthritis, because my bones rub against each other all blessed day long.  So it hurts.  A lot.

    But there's more.

    My right foot is almost an inch and a half smaller than my left.  You heard it right!  My feet aren't even close to being the same size.  I know that most people do not have matching sized feet, but mine are not even in the same country.

    Thus, the shoe shopping nightmare begins.

    If I hated shoes, or I didn't like heels, this wouldn't be an issue.  But alas!  I've been struck by the shoe God's and I must accept my fate.  Searching for multiple hours to find a single pair of shoes is not unheard of.  And if I like them, they won't fit.  Or if they do fit (a minor miracle of the shoe Gods), they're uncomfortable and I can't wear them for much longer than 10 minutes.

    The cruel irony of my life, dear readers.  But I press on to find those perfectly shaped, sexy, flirty, fitting, and even comfortable shoes.  I know they're out there somewhere. 

    I will not lose heart!

  • The black pencil skirt

    I swear, I don't know how I managed to go this long without one of these.

    A black pencil skirt.

    When I first looked at it a few days ago (while shopping for my mom) I couldn't believe that it would look good on me.  I didn't want to believe that it would look good on me.

    But me being how I am, I just wanted to make sure.  To be honest, I was really looking for a pencil skirt and cute top for my mom (being the lovely fashion forward lady that she is.  No sarcasm here).  I have to try everything on me first, because we have a similar body structure.

    I found a pencil skirt that didn't have stupid pleating at the top, and I tried it on.

    And I was right.  It didn't look good; it looked great.

    I looked phenomenal!  I was so shocked that I had to walk around the dressing room a few times and then look at myself again, just to be sure that I wasn't making it up.

    I wasn't.

    I thought to myself "Wow, I need this right now."  And because the thing was ridiculously on sale, I bought it for dirt cheap (as well as different version for my mom).

    Seriously, why hasn't anyone let me in on this secret?  I've been missing out for YEARS.

    I can't wait to wear it again!

  • About Makeup

    I must be weird.

    I wear makeup every single day, and that INCLUDES going to class from 8 - 5 twice a week and 8 - 3 twice a week.  I wear makeup when I wait tables.  I wear makeup when I'm going to be home all day.  I just...like to wear it.

    Am I self conscious without it?  Heck no.  I feel great either way.  I just love eye makeup probably more than I should (is that even possible?).

    But I'm off topic.

    I'm the only female (that's my age) in my class that wears makeup.  Is that odd, or am I the odd one?

    I'm not trying to impress anyone, or anything, but I just feel prettier.  I don't understand why they don't.

    I talked to my boyfriend about it, and his adorable response was "You don't wear make-up either...do you?"  I told him that he was precious for thinking that.  But he really believed that I don't wear anything, which makes it even better.

    Am I strange for always wearing makeup no matter what?  I have my days without it, but on a whole, almost every day, I'm wearing some form of eye makeup.

    Hm.
