Operation: Move In With Boyfriend is going smoothly and slowly. By that, I mean, the place looks wrecked and if I could move in any more of a chaotic fashion, the house and maybe the world would fall apart. I swear I make these things way harder on myself! Enough about me, let’s talk about me more by discussing crap I wrote. I edit my face big time and then try to cobble together a reason that’s pretty much not a reason, but whatevs. I enjoyed it. Little Black Dress? Yes, and lots of them! This trip to the museum

GRE Study Update
Well, I’ve officially registered for the GRE meaning I’m in nonstop study mode. PLUS, I’m moving in with that one guy I’m crazy in love with which means my TIME IS DISAPPEARING like crazy! But busy means good things and I’m all for moving forward in my life! I’m studying through Kaplan and they are seriously kicking my booty but sharpening my brain at the same time. I rock the verbal portions! But math? I’ve got a loooong way to go baby! There are way too many formulas and complicated equations. I’d rather just shop for furniture to add my
My Issue with Sephora.
I like makeup and skincare. Sephora is the Mecca for beauty. Therefore, it follows that I should adore Sephora with all my heart. However, their customer service just flushed away any last remaining bits of loyalty I’ve had for them. It started with the August sale they had. I, being the junkie that I am, purchased products for 20% off. Score! Buuuut, when my package arrived, it was all sorts of wrong. It was filled with all the things I didn’t order. Boo. I called one of my girlfriends up with the disappointing news. “Strange,” she said. “I got a
The History of the Little Black Dress
The title of this post is a little misleading. It implies that you’re going to get a discussion on how the little black dress evolved, its origins, and how it became the iconic and timeless wardrobe classic that it is. But really, all you’re going to get is pictures, because I really like pictures and hate reading little museum placards. And that’s where I saw this, the Washington State History Museum where this was their current exhibit. My boyfriend, thoughtful guy that he is, knew that I’d enjoy the time warp back to the start of the little black dress.
Week in Review #9
So I’m in the midst of moving in with my significant other and I’m taking my sweet time because it’s a lot of work moving and I’m just not wanting to pick up boxes. Sometimes, I feel like I’m the laziest person in the world. So instead of moving, I’ll recap the past week. Procrastination at it’s finest! I did one of those lazy posts where I just put photos up from my trip to Victoria, British Columbia. Sometimes, I choose the easy way out! I tried to channel my inner Martha and made this zesty citrus dressing. However, my
Books: Anna Karenina
I read Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy, a book that I’ve heard many call the greatest piece of literature ever written. And to that I say, “Are you freaking kidding me?!” This book begins like a soap opera and degenerates to scenes that are better suited to a high school cafeteria than the squabbles of Russian nobility. There were parts that actually pained me to read thinking, “People didn’t actually act like this, did they?” A friend of mine said they loved the book, that it brought up social issues like the idea that a man cheating on his wife
Strength and Sculpt, Part 5
Five parts of Strength and Sculpt? I think this will probably be my last post dedicated to Strength and Sculpt despite how entertaining my workout fails are! Anyways, this week someone’s husband decided to join the group. They had big bulky arms with veins popping out. He brought his uber-heavy weights from home. My boyfriend looked at me and we agreed: This guy had no idea what was coming. And honestly? I had no idea that this guy would fail so hard. You know what he did? Within the first five minutes, he was groaning and moaning worse than I
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
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
