Baby Lips How I Love Thee

Okay, so everyone has probably heard about these amazing things. Well, I just wanted to make sure everyone got the picture. +Maybelline NY Mx 's baby lips are amazing! 

First Impression: When I first saw these after watching various reviews on youtube, I instantly went to the chapstick aisle to look for them. Nope! They were at the Maybelline section. No duh! At first I was skeptical cause Maybelline and Loreal do not make chapsticks. They make lipsticks and lip glosses, but it kind of sort of made sense since it has something to do with lips. The packaging was so cute with the BABY LIPS on the lid. 

My first baby lip was actually the peach bliss one. It is the purple one with the peach writings on it. They felt a little grainy, but the colors were flattering. I instantly fell in love and bought the wine grape and the pink one too. The pink is too pink for me but the wine is great on a date. 

Results: My lips were always chapped and peeling. They were so not kissable. After using the baby lips for a  week or so, they were softer and better. So, I decided to give the green one a try, Peppermint. Oh my goodness is it so smooth and felt like butter on my lips with a tint of peppermint. Honestly, I would like it if it were more minty. Someone told me to try the blue one, Quenched and let me tell you, they are great!

They are so great that I have five backups of it. I advertise this where ever I go whenever I can. Do not get me wrong. I am not affiliated with them what so ever, but mind as well cause I got all five of my co-workers to use the baby lips. My lips are so soft that I would kiss myself if I can. I love the quenched baby lips. If you have nasty chapped lips, forget the Burt's bee which makes it worse and doesn't glide on like a softened stick of butter and grab yourself a baby lips. 

If I were to change anything about this amazing product, I would change the packaging back to the way they used to make it. They now stick BABY LIPS on the lid instead of printing it on the actual lid. I miss the old packaging. 

However, in general, I LOVE it! 

*the two are the old packaging and the green one is the new packaging that I peeled the annoying label off*

My Eating Disorder

Okay before anyone gets any ideas, I really do not have an eating dis....well....I do have a tendency to eat a lot. I cannot say no to certain foods even when I am full. So....I guess I do have some sort of food obsession. 

This is such a problem because no matter how much I work out, I seem to gain weight. I put pictures up of Victoria Secret models and hot men to motivate me to stop eating after six, but late night snacks are the best.  For example, I felt so fat that I went to Rite Aid and got a box of Entenmann's instead of working out. Well....I guess it's because I just got mother nature's present. 

Sweets: I love them and cannot get enough of them. Dessert is always first when it comes to me. There used to be a time when I rather eat a slice of cake instead of a proper meal. I bake cookies just so I do not eat them because I do not eat the things I bake. I just baked banana muffins and I have not been tempted to eat anything. I like anything but things with orange. Also, I do not like Reese's whatevers. Also, no Oreo stuff either other than Oreos themselves with no cream please. 

Savory: I am picky when it comes to these foods. I do not like romaine lettuce. Also I do not like things with curry. It is too musky for me and I do not appreciate the smell. Oh! Mexican foods too. I like fried foods kinda, but not fries. I only like Vegan nuggets and other types of fries like yucca and sweet potato. I love pasta and noodles, but oh gosh no rice. I know I know. I am Korean but I do not like rice. 

Snacking: My all time favorite snacks are chips and popcorn. I used to not like potato chips, but kettle chips are soooo good. Dirty Chips Maui Onion or Funky Fusion are the best. Please just try them. I also love Rite Aid brand Kettle popcorn sweetened with Splenda. I also love Angry Bird gummies. I love all gummies in general. They are so delicious! However, I am picky when it comes to the textures and flavor of some gummies.

- fave: Angry bird, Life Savor, character fruit snacks, Welch's 

- not fave: Jolly Rancher, Haribo

Cooking: I love cooking because I get to experiment with food and such, but I am more of a baker. I used to bake whenever my dad and mom made me stressed. That means every day. Then, I got a job at a bakery and gained 15 lbs. I also stopped baking cause I did not want to deal with all baked goods even at home. 

Eating problem source: The source to my eating problem is my job. I keep eating and eating because I cannot smoke at work. I am so stressed at work that I need to eat to calm myself down and not pass out from all the work they make me do. I lose the weight during the week and gain it all back during the weekend. Let me tell you, I need a new job. 

Solution: Meditation? Moderation? More Exercise? Eat less. I realized that if I deprive myself of some foods I like, I will not crave it. The key is the get satisfaction or fullness without the calories.

A Good Day to Die Hard: Reflection/ Review

I seldom go to movies, but I was with my girlfriends and had no choice, but to watch this movie. I was like oh gosh it's rated R and the characters are dirty. This means that there is going to be a lot murdering and such. Oy!

However, I loved this movie! Jai Courtney is so hot in motion. I usually go for a leaner and more cut type of guy, but he was an exception when he was moving around and killing people. OH my gosh! Bruce Willis is also a boss. No, no. He is the BOSS! (said in that boss like tone). My fave part of him is when he goes "I'm on vacation!" when he is saving the day. Oh my goodness! I do not want to give it away.

Rating: *****

I cannot help but to include this part because my second major is Marketing and it is a large part of my life more than Accounting some times. It is most likely that this movie was heavily sponsored and financed by Mercedes-Benz. I mean, there were BMWs, Bentleys, and a Porsche, but it was mostly Mercedes. Also, BMWs are used as bombs and explode. The Bentleys are just shown parked outside and (my fave part) a Porsche gets crushed by a Mercedes SUV. I am assuming that Mercedes and Porsche are direct or indirect competition. BMW and Mercedes are direct competition (I believe) so it made sense when they blew up.

I have been seeing advertisements in movies, shows, and etc more often now. My favorite sitcom The Nanny always are talking about food. Like Entenmann's, Sara Lee, and etc... Throughout the entire movie, I was like oh my gosh. Mercedes is so sponsoring them. My claim was substantiated by the two characters jacking a Mayback. I am not sure if everyone knows, but a Mayback is a higher end product of Mercedes. I believe Bow Wow and Puff Daddy and maybe even Diddy have Maybacks. Oh is the car sleek when its hood is reflecting the street or moonlight. I've seen a Ferrari, but forget that. I want a freakin....Bentley. I guess the advertising did not work.

Go watch the movie! It is amazing!

Worse Thing Ever: Pencil Eyeliners

I have been wearing make up since my freshman year in college. Before then, I have been going plain Jane and my skin was clean and clear, but now, forget it, the acne runs all over my forehead and I am too cheap and lazy to buy astringent.

I learned how to put on eyeliner from youtube. To be specific, Michelle Phan (love her with a burning passion). She taught me how to apply pencil, liquid, and gel liners. Although pencil is what I first learned how to use and used for a while when I first learned make up, I hate it. It smudges all over the place, it doesn’t create a clean and sharp tip when I wing the end of my liner and the pigment is not dark enough. I do not like it to the point I get mad when I see my friend using it. They are only good when you are lining your tear line. Nothing more! If you attempt to wing your eye with a pencil liner, I don’t wanna hear about it. That is a no no no!

High end or not, pencil liners stink! I have bad experience with them and will only use them if I do not have my liquid liner around. My Maybelline stiletto liquid liner is the best! Loreal’s liner used to be my favorite but they discontinued it. I used to use Maybelline’s and Loreal’s gel liners, but I liked the liquid one better. I also used the Bomb’s felt marker liner as well. It was okay, but the tip was too thick to wing it.

Gel or liquid, use whatever and whatever brand you like. However, pencil liner, I do not care if it is Urban Decay or Chanel, I will not tolerate it. Ew!

Curlers vs. Heated Tools

I love doing my hair and getting dolled up for class, going out, or just simply running errands. You will rarely see me not glammed up unless you spent the night with me ;) Well….then too, I might be up before you that by the time you wake up, I will be all done up.

Other than getting compliments on my eyes due to excessive mascara, thick eye liner, and falsies, I get a lot of compliments on my hair. Even my guy friends and dates tell me that my hair is so nice. Some say it “shines.” I do not really do much to my hair other than shampoo and condition. However, I do shape it. I either curl it, flip out the ends, or just leave it as it is.

When I do curl it, I have two options. Curlers or heat. Since this is all about being honest, I will be honest with you, the two have their pros and their cons.

Curlers:

Advantages:

-          Easy to use: you just put them on and then let time do its thing

-          The curls look more natural: unlike using a hair straightener or heated curler, curls from curlers or rollers look more natural and I get more compliments.

Disadvantages:

-          Hard to control tightness of curls: if you leave it in too long, the curls will get too tight that you will look like a poodle. If you don’t leave it in long enough, the curls will not set well.

-          After a workout, the curls get loose and leave your hair in this awkward shape.

Heat:

Advantages:

-          Curls last longer and keep their shape for two days.

-          Curls are controllable. If you want looser curls, run your hair straightener through the tight curl to loosen it.

Disadvantages:

-          Hard to use heating tool: it took me a while to get used to using my hair straightener

-          The curls do not look natural and hair tends to get poofy

If I have the time and want longer lasting curls, I would use the hair straightener, but if I am in a rush and need a 24 hour glam job, I would use the rollers because I can put them in my hair and do everything else to get ready for class or a date.

Your Chanel is Fine, but I want an Hermes

When the boss is not in and there is no customer in sight, I gossip with my teenage co-workers about everything and anything. From how we hate being treated like slaves to what we see ourselves doing in the future with our lives. I mean…my life is sort of set for me since I am going to graduate in two years, but hey, a girl can imagine.

Out of all the things I talk about with my silly and at times below average minded co-workers, we love to talk about the boy or man in our lives. We go on our iPhones and shuffle through our current boos’ facebook page and show them off to each other. Some will get he’s alright, he seems nice, or a are you serious out of me.

After talking to these girls for a while, I realized that I never found anyone completely perfect for me. It is rare that I would take the time to get to know someone and get to like them because I do not give a **** about anyone but me, myself, and I. Egotistical? I know, but it is true. For people who do not see marriage in their agenda or life, there is no reason to really spend the time to get to know a guy and get attached to them.

So, what is the source of this madness is what you all are probably thinking. I do not know. At one point in my life, I realized that people spend way too little time doing things for themselves because they are too busy tending to and trying to please others. One life, one love which is love for myself.

Do not get me wrong, I appreciate men and have lovely dreams about them, but at the end of the day, I wanna be alone nursing a cup of coffee or going crazy at the gym to achieve the Miranda Kerr body that I’ve told myself I will have one day (with the existence of Haagen Daaz and Entemann’s, that is not likely in the near future).

I think I am like this because I have very high standards when it comes to the other sex. I want the best of the best and will not settle for less. The do not own a single high end designer bag because, one, I do not have the money, and two if my mother saw what I bought with the money, she would smack me out of the state and back. I am the type of person that refuses to buy knockoffs because I deserve the best. If not, I rather not have it at all. Some people dream of owning a Chanel bag, but for now settle for a Coach or a Juicy Couture one instead. Me? I want an Hermes and an Hermes only. It is not fair for Chanel or Louis Vuitton if I got them as a “you will do for now” and it is not fair for me because I am settling for less than I deserve. It is a relationship that does not work.

This concept is applied when it comes to me and selecting men. Mr. Right can come through the door, but if I do not think he’s right, he is going right back out that door. I have let a lot of catches go because of this mentality of mine. They were all equally handsome, smart, productive, and BUSY, but something about them did not feel right. They all felt like Chanels rather than Hermeses.

For those who do not know what the difference between a Chanel and and Hermes is, let me explain. Do not get me wrong. Chanel is great and I appreciate it, but Hermes bestills my heart exponentially more. The thing about Hermes is that it is not obtainable by everyone. Even if the people that wanted an Hermes bag were able to afford it, there is no guarantee that they will go home with one at the end of the day because these uniquely handcrafted bags are only made a certain number and when they sell out, that is it. Chanel on the other hand is massly produced and can be obtained by those who can afford it.

People always say “there is no such thing as Prince Charming,” but I beg to differ. I am pretty sure there is. It is just a matter of patience and not settling for less. C’mon, if you are selling something, don’t you want the most out of it? You wouldn’t settle for less. In a relationship, you are selling yourself to that one person because you are required to be only with the one you are dating or going out with and no one else. So why settle?

***For the record, I am not waiting for prince charming. All I am saying is that I am an Hermes bag that cannot be obtained by the average Joe or the above average Jason. I can be seen, but not obtained unless you are maybe perhaps the lucky guy that qualified for this exclusive piece of artwork (ME J). Even then, you are not guaranteed. You will need to go through a bunch of things required by myself. Sorry boys!***

Things Not to Do on a Date Can Lead to Another Date

About two weeks ago, I decided to start casually dating again. I lost a drunk bet with a guy that has been dying to take me out on a date. A friend’s brother’s friend. For his privacy, let’s call him X.

When we met up, it was so awkward cause I wasn’t feeling it and he was clearly overly prepared for this event or undertaking. He didn’t know what to do cause he obviously knew I was just like whatever let’s pay the piper. I was such a jerk to him and he seemed to like that. The more of a jerk I was to him, the more he seemed to like me.

Do NOT text during a date: It is obvious that you shoud not text on a date, but I did. My friend that I was texting was mad at me cause I kept texting her and told me to stop. Did I? Nah. I actually texted her more. He did not think much of it and thought my reactions to the texts were cute. OY!

Do NOT hit your date: Obviously violence is a no no whether it is a date or not.  However, especially on a date, you should not hit your date. I kinda sorta did. We were mini golfing and I hit him in the head with the golf ball that he had to put ice on his head while we were eating at some diner. Most guys would take this as a sign of her not liking him or him not liking her, but nope. He liked how I had good aim.

Do NOT reject him in a bad manner: What do guys try to do on a first date? They try to kiss you. If you want to, go ahead, but me, I do not do that. At least a week later or so, but not on a freakin first date. That is why he got a hit in the head from the golf ball. There are no such things as accidents honey. I kinda turned my head and walked away to get my golf ball. He turned red out of embarrassment and didn’t know what to say. This you think would get him away since I didn’t even have the decency to say sorry or I’m not like that, but no! Later he told me it was a turn on how I acted all nonchalantly. Honey! It ain’t acting. It’s called I really didn’t care for it.

After all the do NOTs have been done, I went home and just kept texting my friend. She said I was a biatch and blah blah blah. I texted my guy friend and he said that I was rude and blah blah blah. My date texted me good night and said it was a pleasure and hoped I enjoyed our night. Serious?! Okay. Fine. He might just be being nice. Maybe he won’t call me back tomorrow. Wrong! He took me out on another date and kept texting till this very day. Oy! What does a girl have to do to tell a man she is not interested after she told him and showed him so many times? Any ideas on how to turn off a guy?

What Irks Me!

So, I work at a bakery around home during the weekends. I take a train all the way from New Brunswick, NJ to Lyndhurst, NJ. For those who do not know where that is, it is a good hour and a half train ride. I mean...I really cannot complain because I am the one doing this at my own will other than my credit card debt and negative debit card balance.

However, what I am about to complain about, I have all the rights. Mind you that I work 5 am to 1 pm on saturdays and work 5 am to 11 am on sundays. This is perfect! I just work and catch the train at 2:03 pm. BUT!!!! This week on, they started putting me on till 5 am till 1 pm on sundays as well. Are they serious? I asked the boss to change it and he said ask someone to come in at 11 am and you can leave. Is he serious?! Yeah he is. Because of that devil, I got back on campus at 6 pm.

What I am irked about is that there are more than enough girls at the store. They are honestly on their iphones or twiddling their thumbs cause they have nothing to do. However, when I ask to leave to save them money and my time (which costs more than $9 an hour), the boss is all "no." Actually, he is not even no. He just walks away and mumbles something under his breath. Sir, I have a hard time listening to you already and you are gonna walk away as you mumble?! Idiot!

As I am working there, the boss tells me to stay at register even though there are no customers. The other girls are still twiddling their thumbs by the breads and such and I am alone at the register twiddling my thumbs by a drafty door. Lovely! I got a flu shot for nothing cause I am bound to get a cold in this below 30 degrees of a facilitation. I am not even lying. They are so stingy that they gave us sweaters so they don't have to turn the heat up. Maybe you should have gotten us a parka then!

I am sitting there and the man says "do you want orange juice?" Mind you, I hate this man and I do not appreciate oranges nor their juices unless they are in my screwdriver with a ratio of 2 vodka to 1 orange juice. I said "no" and smiled cause you know...the man still pays me. Then he said "want a banana?" Is he serious? I want to leave. I do not want your fruit stand! So I said "no thank you" and smiled. Then, he was all "oh yeah. Asians do not eat bananas." Is this man serious? Actually, at this point I am not surprised. The man has said so many racial things to me that I can have a law suit. Things like don't they teach common sense where you come from? For the record, I am from Jersey City in New Jersey which is last time I checked, the U.S.A. Instead of taking his garbage, I said "we like bananas and what is with you and your racial assumptions." He said "I am not racial" as he smirks like a five year that just hit his little brother. So I said "oh no? Then I guess you are just ignorant!" and smiled as if I hit my older brother after he told me to be quiet cause he is talking to his girl friend. At this point, the boss was like "maybe." What else can he say?

I didn't get to leave at 11 am like I was supposed to, but I left at 12 pm after handling an issue in the store. The manager was hiding in the back so I had to step in be the manager of the day. Call the boss about the issue, apologize to the customer, and give them free stuff to make them rate us well in yelp cause that is all the boss cares about after making money.

All jokes aside, work is work. There are few people that enjoy their job. If  you enjoy your work like maybe Mr. Bill Gates, then good for you. I am a hungry, chubby....well that is ironic or an oxymoron. Anyhow I am a poor student trying to get an education as well as make a living. Things are hard, but I guess they can be worse (knock wood). I hope you found my lousy day and somewhat of a triumph against my boss funny and not think I am this sarcastic and exhausted little girl even though I am.

Consistency: Kraft

I love consistency when it comes to food. As mentioned in my blog about Thomas Sweet, I love Big Mac's due to their consistency. I do not care if the massive burger has 560 calories. If I get what I expect, WIN! I guess I will slave at the gym for an hour or two even though I absolutely abhor running.

Anyways, I had these Mac and Cheese for breakfast because I was hungry and too lazy to go to the dining hall to get food. For 390 calories, I am satiated. This thing is wonderful! You cook it with cheese in the microwave for four and a half minutes. Well...four and a third minutes cause I couldn't wait the extra ten seconds. Ask anyone, patience is never and will never be my virtue. After the thing comes out all bubbly and cooked, you add this cream sauce and stir until the mac and cheese submitted to your demands. Finally, you sprinkle on the bread crumbs and wah lah! You feel like a five star chef. No you don't. If you did, I feel sorry for your lack of cooking skills.

This tasted amazing and delivered the taste I expected. It tastes just like the mac and cheese that I used to eat in my fatter girl days as a child. My god mother used the blue box and made me mac and cheese so often that if you pierced me, I would bleed cheese like that cheesy dinosaur. 90's children will understand what I am talking about.

The only problem I had was scraping down the bowl. It was a square container and I was too lazy to switch out my fork for a spoon to get the job done. I wish I had another one cause they were so divine. Oh man! I love me some mac and cheese all day err day please.

Now That's Awkward

Have you ever been in an awkward situation? Don't answer this obvious question. Yesterday I ran into a friend who I kind of sort of have feelings for. We were good friends and hung out all the time until he pretty much said he didn't want a relationship at the moment. I mean...I, myself, do not want a relationship either, but at the time, I was going to consider one only if it was with him. Lame? I know. Anyways, after him saying that he didn't want to deal with a relationship, I stopped hanging with him as much and stopped texting him cause I needed to get over my emotions. When I ran into him yesterday, things were awkward and there was really nothing to talk about. We used to argue and talk about everything and anything and we both did not have a problem keeping the conversation going, but now, it is weird. We just said hi, you look well, and I should go.

I told this to my girl friend and guy friend and they said the same thing. "It's only awkward if you make it awkward." Umm....Let's be honest! Awkward is awkward. You not making it awkward is just you not showing it and ignoring the damn elephant in the room. You making it awkward is acknowledging the elephant in the room but do not want to deal with it so you let this weird aura just linger around.

What should I have done to get rid of this awkward situation? Nothing. There is nothing I could do. I mean, it is awkward because I am changing for the better (for myself). If I went back to doing what I used to do with him, I would be back to square one and just bark at a tree that will never bear fruit. If I continue what I am doing now, it will continue to be awkward.

The things that irk me are one, there is nothing I can do about things being awkward and two, people saying that it isn't awkward if you don't make it awkward. Awkward is like energy. You cannot make or destroy it. It is there whether you like it or not. Instead of saying that stupid cliche, people should say "well, deal with it or do something about it." Ignoring the situation is not going to make things less awkward. Man or woman up and deal with it! Well....now.....this is awkward isn't it?

Things Aren't the Same: Thomas Sweet

After a workout, I went to get some fudge at my usual place at Thomas Sweet. I can eat a lbs of fudge in a one sitting which is bad in so many ways. The sugar, the fat. Oy! Let's not get me started. I usually get the white chocolate walnut, pistachio, and amaretto. However, I tried the amaretto today and it wasn't the same. I did not like it. I got a 1/4 lbs, but I did get the 1/2 lbs of pistachio. There is this new flavor called red velvet and it was alright. I do not know why I spent a good $13.00 for this. I should have gotten the cookies, but I just wanted a lbs. The pistachio was the same, but the amaretto tastes weird. Things aren't as consistent like McDonald's or Burger King. I guess this is why I love McDonald's Big Mac. In general, Thomas Sweet is a good place to go. Their cherry cordials are devine and their turtles are good too. Yummers!

I'm Single....SO WHAT?!

My mother visited my dorm and realized that I am 21 years old. Oh boy....I was 21 since November 14. Got that? Write it down and send me a present (kidding). Anyways, my mother liked my roommate after she thought the nice girl was Chinese and liked the view of my dorm. Her exact words were "you can paint a picture and write a poem." Yes mother, that is what I do all the time. Do you want a painting or two?

After all that hodgepodge, she tells me the spiel about studying and blah blah. Then she said get a pretty boy make pretty love. I swear it sounds better in Korean. It sounds like a script from the Notebook with everyone's favorite boy, Ryan Gosling. 

Unfortunately, my mother is not the only one that has been trying to get me "hitched" or whatever you people call it. My friends are "discretely" hooking me up with their friends whom I am not interested in what so ever and my aunt is telling me about her friend's son that goes to the same school as me. WHY? I honestly do not get it. People think there is something wrong with you if you are single. Like you have a third boob or you have a load of snot up your nose to the point it is protruding. 

First of all, there is nothing wrong with being single. Actually, there are many things wrong with being in a relationship.

Expensive: Valentine's day = negative cashflow from buying chocolates that you yourself are not eating. Christmas = negative cashflow from buying presents you yourself are not using or wearing. His birthday = you buying presents for someone with the money you could have bought yourself a Louis Vuitton bag. Let me tell you one thing. Nothing comes between me and my bags. I rather have ten bags than one man. Another thing, you can have ten bags, but you aren't allowed to have ten men. You serious?! Think about getting less for your money. We are in a recession people. Save your money for retirement and not on him. 

Time consuming: I do not know about you, but I need my time and my space. I do not want someone hitting me up twenty four seven to hang. Also, because of technology, he can text/call me whenever and where ever he wants. Serious? What if I just want to lay around in bed and watch Suits alone? I honestly cannot stand sleeping with people. Cuddling? okay fine, but not all the time. Don't touch me when Harvey Specter is saying something sexy. I don't want you ruining the moment. Touch me or hug me after you fixed a car or pumped those biceps, but not during Suits! Please! 

No Privacy: I need my privacy. I realize that a lot of couples share their passcodes and such cause they have to. If you said no, he is going to be all "why? you have something that you don't want me to see?" Then you are all "no, I just need some privacy." Then it becomes a mess. It is so annoying just to think about it. You have to share everything with him and he does the same. Do you really want to know how many girls he slept with? hook upped with? It's only going to make you mad and feel insecure and skip dessert next time you go out to eat.

Loss of Independence: I have friends that are no offense to them, but they are way too dependent on their boy friends. They do not have friends other than each other and their boy friends. When they are on the verge of breaking up, their life is at stake cause their boy friends are their everything. Unless your boy friend's name is Jesus Christ, he should not be your everything. Have a life! Do not just wait for him to come home to have something to do. Make friends and go out. You do not have to be with your boy friend to feel fulfilled. 

Annoying: I honestly think it is annoying to go out on dates. Dressing up, the make up, and whatever else. I am usually reluctant on going on a date if it involves free drinks. However, I usually do not enjoy my dates and when I come home, I am tired and just exhausted as if I came back from a three hour lecture. Men or boys or whatever in general are annoying. They one, usually do not care about what you say, wear, eat, or do cause all they want to do is get in your pants and two, they like to just talk about themselves and compare themselves to the next guy. Really? Men, girls do not care! Well....at least for me, I just tell them straight up that I do not appreciate it. 

Where there's a good, there's a bad. Therefore, when there's a bad, there's a good. I know I may have been harsh about relationships and such, but if you have the right contestant, it can be a good thing too. My friend has been through thick and thin with her boy friend, but at the end of the day, he makes her happy. These are reasons why I do not believe in relationships and therefore have never been in a relationship. 

I'll tell you this though before you find a Godiva, you will go through some cheap Hershey's. Personally, being single at the moment seems right for me. Casually dating and making friends are what I am about at the moment. I am just frustrated that so many people think there is something wrong with me and that my time is running out to get a man and settle down. If you are one of those who encourage your friends to get a significant other, STOP IT and mind your own business. Unless you are gonna pay for the dates and buy me outfits to wear on my dates, butt the freak out! 

This blog says a lot of negative things about guys and how they are just a bunch of Hershey's, but believe me, us women can be worse with our oh my goshes and our dramas. I know. I know. However, I'm a girl so I am just stating from a female point of view.

Fake Nails

Okay, so....I think it was the past summer that I really got into fake nails. I have dainty nails because I bit my nails when I was little. I recently stopped because I got fake nails. My natural nails just grow and then they break. I have tried taking pills to make my nails stronger and applied something made of horses. Believe me, they don't work. Save your money in this recession.

So...my friend told me about fake nails you get at your local drug store. There are two main brands: Kiss and Broadway. I get Broadway because you can file the french tip design they come with. The Kiss ones, like my fifty year old Polish co-worker would say, forget it! They do not budge. Unless you cut the french part off, you are stuck with them. They are made that way and the company strongly mentions/markets no chipping.

So...let's compare Kiss and Broadway.
Kiss: costs more, sturdier, better quality, and comes with pink nail glue :)
Broadway: cheaper, lesser quality, and comes with blue nail glue.

As mentioned before, I use broadway cause of the french tip thing. Why? I paint over my nails and do various designs. If you are using pale colors or light colors like I do, the french peaks through and its ugly. I usually use the short tips, but I picked up the medium tips for now. I love how they look, but they have problems of their own like hard to type, fall off quicker, and hard to pick your nose (kidding!). However, I like how I look so elegant and pretty :) I have fat stubby hands so the long nails gives it a long, slender illusion.

What do you think?

Picture contains: broadway medium tip nails, social ladder by Sinful Colors and this sparkle polish by Revlon. I feel like Cinderella awaiting her BUSY prince charming.

Worst: Cosmopolitan

Cosmopolitans are a mixture of vodka, cranberry juice, and a spritz of lime. They are heavenly and every lady's best friend when made properly.

On my 21st birthday, I had a mission: get a cosmo and a mojito. That day, I only had access to a cosmo at a bar restaurant, Stuff Ye Face at Rutgers New Brunswick. However, it was disgusting! More cheap vodka than cranberry and there was no lime present. I was very distraught and I did not want to finish it. However, my friend was buying so I obviously had to finish it. Besides, good alcohol or bad, you always finish it. Will I get it again? Well...if it's the only one left in the universe and I want to get a buzz, maybe.

What is this?

Today, it is so hard to find honest opinions on anything. Friends tell you what you want to hear rather than the truth, the internet contain information that is either completely wrong or sugar coated so it does not insult anyone. We even lie to ourselves by diluting ourselves in thinking that a large ice cream has the same amount of calories as a small ice cream. Here, you are getting nothing but my complete honest opinion. There will be no sugar coating. For those who cannot handle the truth, you have been warned.
