Orange cat on lap, vodka soda in hand, and a shopping bag of clothes I bought today at Talbots at full price (I’m broke, like rest of us) without looking at the price tags because I had a bunch of unused gift cards! And needed summer work clothes in a serious way, and their new spring collection started in stores…

I think that the greatest thing we could do to improve education in this country is to mandate a solid year for each high school student to take a critical thinking class.

Circulation is up, program attendance is up, door counts are up! Where I work anyway. The only thing that can make us “obsolete” is getting unlucky with shitty town councils and local politicians deciding to slash funding.

I really like that foundation...it smells nice, too. And I swear by their Volumizer mascara. Looooove spend your points days!

Yesss, Anastasia Dipbrow! I just started with it a month or so ago, and what a difference! Goes on easy, stays put, and looks amazing.

Yo! Show me your art! What have you created recently?

Yay beauty thread! :D I tried a cut crease for the first time ever last weekend. For some reason it’s never dawned on me to try it before, but I’m obsessed with late ‘60s-style makeup (nude lips + heavy eye makeup and falsies) and wanted it to look authentic. It was harder than I thought it would be but I was really…

SAME. I love the smell SO MUCH, but I always feel obligated to shower when I get home because I cannot otherwise be trusted to do my sheets when it comes time to wash them.

Black Honey is the best thing ever invented and I hope they never discontinue it.

Just came here to say that if anyone ever runs across perfumes/colognes that either smell like burning (in the can-smell-a-fall-bonfire-from-far-away way) or winter (in the outside-shoveling-after-a-blizzard) sort of way, this is your open invitation to comment on any of my posts at any time, beauty related or not, to…

BLACK HONEY IS MY JAM. I’ve literally never paid for a tube, I always get is as a sample or something when they do a gift with purchase and I buy my foundation. but seriously I have like 5 of them in all my handbags and my desk and stuff. I don’t wear lipstick very often but it’s perfect for like “hey I want to show…

I saw it too! Reminds me a bit of Clinique’s Almost Lipstick (http://www.sephora.com/almost-lipstic…). I have black honey. It layers beautifully and it’s a lovely color.

my favorite mascara is drugstore! Covergirl Clump Crusher, the lime green tube.

I would slay for a version of the 12 Dancing Princesses! I always loved that story, and I encourage everyone to look up Scott Gustaffson’s beautiful illustrations in a recent version.

I wish this would happen to me but no matter how pleased I am with my (absurdly extensive) makeup collection I always want MORE ALL THE PRETTY THINGS!! It’s an addiction.

It might be too late for anyone to actually see this, but I just need to say that I have been having a fabulous beauty week!

I LOVE Dipbrow! Nothing nothing nothing else compares to it, including all of the other pencils and powders I’ve tried- and I’ve tried all of the Anastasia pencils! I have blonde, caramel, and soft brown that I *try* to blend into brows that don’t look like I’ve sharpied them on- but I definitely have to keep…

I finally got Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow this week. I have to say... I’m totally sold. It’s head & shoulders above my beloved UD powder duo, which I haven’t touched since the Dipbrow showed up in the mail. I kinda think I'm getting the hang of it? Ugh I wanna post a selfie but I'm panicking about that

Andre Dice Clay’s organic free-range lube ain’t bad, now in the convenient fifty-five gallon drum.

Just in case have some salt and something made of iron handy ;)
