You know what? I was supposed to post this in the summer, but I took too long trying to write this post. However, I think it’s quite serendipitous really, because zinc oxide is used in sunscreen. What better way to remind you all that you should keep slathering on the sun protectants even as we are going into the colder months? Just because it’s cold doesn’t mean the sun can’t damage your perfect, beautiful skin! So, tell us, what IS Zinc Oxide? You know that mineral found in nature called zincite? Yes? No? Either way, you derive zinc from it,

Week in Review #8
I am on some weird diet binge where I just want to drink my meals. Like yeah, give me that smoothie. It’s delicious. You know what? I’ll have that protein drink that tastes like Hershey flavored chalk. It’s great. Oh hand me that rum and coke. Wait, what? I think I’ve gotten so lazy that the idea of chewing my food is too much work. How did I get to this point? Let’s look at my past posts: I want to dress like Dakota Fanning and go from grungy to completely angelic at the swish of a sparkly dress. I
Five Favorite Things – September 2019
Slip Silk Pillowcase – I can’t get over how great this is. Helps your skin and hair just by falling asleep on it?! Yes, please! This is definitely pricier than other silk pillowcases on the market, but I promise you I can feel the difference in quality. This is far ahead of its other competitors. GHD Platinum Hair Straightener – I wrote about this as being one of those ridiculously priced beauty gadgets that I spent money on but… I really like it. It makes my hair look almost healthy. AND, it straightens better and faster than any other flatiron
Men Who Rock Makeup
Obviously, you know what this post is about if you read the title. If you blindly clicked on my post than lemme tell ya, it’s about men who know how to rock a full face of cosmetics. I’m sticking to celebrity males here and leaving the YouTubers and Instagrammers off the list, because we already KNOW MannyMua, Jeffree Star, and James Charles know how to apply their highlighter. Boy George Boy George really knows how to take it *there* and back. Sometimes he edges the border between “too far” and “just right” but honestly? I’d love it if he could
Grad School? Maybe.
I’ve decided to try and go back to school and get my Masters, guys. Can you imagine? I feel like I left that behind and now I’m throwing myself back in. I hate homework and tests. Speaking of tests, I have to take the GRE, which is basically the SAT, but for grad school. I’M DYING. I have to restudy all those equations and formulas that I was certain I would never need again once I graduated. Eep! Though, I’ll continue to do my best to keep up the superb quality (lolz) of this blog, you might have to give
Strength and Sculpt Part 4
I’ve managed to convince myself I have superhuman powers. I woke up two days ago thinking, “Ugh, Strength and Sculpt, I hope it gets cancelled so I can’t go and nobody can shame me for it.” The next day, our instructor emailed us letting us know she she had tweaked her back and that she would let us know if Strength and Sculpt would happen or not. I thought, “OMG, I used my powers for bad. I never wanted her hurt!” Except I guess I kinda did, because I texted my boyfriend hoping class was cancelled and it WASN’T. Sigh.
The Story of Floofy, the Unwanted Sloth
We were in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware when one of those damn carnival games lured in my significant other. It was the one where you shoot water into a clown’s mouth and whoever gets the most in wins. He always wants to play it because he never loses. NEVER. And lo and behold he won! And thus started a journey with a sloth that he promptly named Floofy (I’ve banned him from ever naming our pets.) Upon winning, the kid next to us barely lost and I overheard his father telling him he did a great job. I told my significant
My Style Icons: Dakota Fanning
Although I enjoy fashion, I don’t always push the boundaries as much as I’d like to. Most of the time, I don’t even try to push them at all. I quite like my leggings and graphic tee shirts with converse shoes. Unoriginal, uninspiring and flat out B-O-R-I-N-G. Which is why I wish I could do fashion like Dakota Fanning. Sheesh, even as a kid she was quite the fashion darling. She has a knack for always looking super comfortable while dressing with some flair. She also takes the basics and makes them… less basic. Hers is a fashion I *think*
Week in Review #7
I feel like this week flew by and I sort of lived it in a haze. Ever feel that way? This week on the blog… I relived my childhood a bit in The Royal British Columbia Museum. By that I mean that I went through this place in THE BEST WAY EVER. I went to the Washington State Fair and nearly vomited at the prices. WTF, this is not family friendly if families can’t afford it! After getting the money sucked out of my bank account, the only way to make me feel better was by eating some homemade cake.
