me+soymilk

My new addiction: Black Sesame Soy Milk. Down to the last carton of this stuff. We had 4. It's been less than a week. 

summertime

The hot weather told me to go get my locks trimmed. 

skinny skinny skinny

New skinny jeans! If these were any tighter I'd have to be stationary all day. 

style: monday

Monday morning classes call for the basics of basics. Sometimes your brain just can't help you put your best fashionista foot forward. 

nude nail

I might be a tad bit late to the nude party, but that doesn't mean I'm the only one. So those of you out there still looking for the perfect nude polish, I think I've found it. 

I've been a fan of The Face Shop's polishes since I can remember, but it's only recently I've paid their nude shades any attention. Now, their colors don't have any names so you're just gonna have to look at which is your favorite. The one I bought was a bit brown/grey side.

Unfortunately, that's the best description I can give.  They have about 3 different nude shade so if the one I bought isn't your cup of tea pick another of the three!

It's well worth your money. P95 is good enough for the size of the bottle and the consistency is pretty darn great. 

banquet beauty

Last Friday, Ara came over for some girly makeover time for her school banquet. 

We broke out the Real Techniques brushes (I don't remember life before them) and my well worn Bobbie Brown ones that have definitely seen better days. 

The well loved Naked 2 palette. 

Curling irons, bobbie pins and elastics.

A small heap of  fabric flowers.

And of course, nothing is complete without pizza! Ara's dad brought some to help out our hungry tummies. 

Sam and Ara taking a break from being beautiful.

My little sister's first time to work a curling iron was a success! I have never been so proud. *tear* One Beauty Department tutorial and she was a total pro. 

Look at this cutie!

Start off with the Baby Skin (primer), cover that with foundation, place a LOT of Naked 2's YDK (i was very heavy handed with this) and sort of smoke it out, a dab of Gold Frost in the middle of the lid, a simple wing (you can't tell in this photo but I lined right beneath her waterline too; about halfway) with some gel liner, LOTS AND LOTS of mascara and a  dab of blush and bronzer. 

It's that easy.

Plus she had PERFECT skin so that was a plus. Oh, and natural beauty.

hauls: the paper kind

I tend to get a little crazy when confronted with cheap stationary. 

And bunny stickers. 

12 new gel pens with pretty princess tops. 

This awesome postcard booklet. 

Heart stickers and calligraphy. 

Writing scripts for AVP class in the afternoon. 

Life has been pretty good so far. 

a post about things

Just a glimpse of my life before the chaos starts. I'm back to making lists and filling my planner to the very edge with things to do; calls to make and people to get in touch with. 

It's gonna be quite a weekend.
