The new kid on the block.

Howdy. How is everyone doing?

I've been super busy with work and running around trying to hang out with friends and generally trying to make everyone happy. Am I burnt out? No. But I think my flame is flickering. Hospitality is a tough tough job.

So of course I needed to buy a present for myself. Okay, well, no, I actually just needed to use the apple gift card my friend gave me (but no one forced me, if ya catch my drift).


Welcome my new little wonder, the ipod nano!

I originally thought of getting something bigger, but I run and workout a lot and this has the nike+ fitness app already installed so I thought, why not? Plus, it's so damn cute. I love it.

Speaking of new things, a few other items I've indulged in in the past month or so . . .



I bought these on Black Friday but of course, cosmetics don't go on sale so I paid full price. These are my staples though and I was running out so I figured why not. Let me just say that these are some of the best cosmetics I've ever bought and definitely worth the extra $10 or so. Lasts pretty much all day and even survives tears and sweat! Amazing.




I bought these two to add to some homemade sugar scrubs I've been working on, but I seriously just apply them straight to my skin and hair sometimes. The coconut oil especially leaves you smelling tropical and moisturized. The lavender oil is also AMAZING for massaging tired skin after a soak in the bath. Both from Trader Joes!



Last but not least, a wallet from Forever21! Quite the cutie and about $10 so it was definitely an impulse buy. It fits all my cards and money though in separate compartments and I love the size so I say it was worth it. Plus the vivid red and hearts make me happy just looking at it!


Have you bought anything lately that you just have to tell everyone else about?

I will try my hardest to update more often. See you soon!

I call myself a prick all the time

Because I am guys. I'm a little prick that thinks she's the coolest kid on the block. And yeah, I think I'm gonna start carrying tin lunch boxes and heavy alcohol scented markers everywhere to draw on people.


Haha, you wish I were lying.


Okay, I sorta am. But it's too fun to teeter on the edge of ridiocraty (and yeah, I know that's not a word). Oh, but I do want a tin lunch box. And walkie talkies. Cellphones get boring after a while.


So this week, my mannequin in Draping class got stolen so I had to use another one, with legs. It's better that way because it didn't show how SHORT my flare skirt turned out (I called it cheerleader short to sound cute, but it's pretty skankalicious). I got a 'B' on it, but alas, I shall BLOW MY PROFESSORS MIND AWAY WITH MY COOL MIDRIFF.


I've also been thinking that lately I've been pretty boring with my lack of a camera (actually I just forget to carry it around) even though I go out and do many things. It makes the inner blogger in me oh-so-sad.



Today (a few seconds ago), I almost jizzed my pants because I saw these shoes I wanted for half price on ebay. Ebay is like a mother to me. A mother that spoils me and kisses my boo boos (because earlier today I went to see the shoes AGAIN in Trash and Vaudeville but they're pricey man). I won't reveal what shoes, but I will say they're Dr. Martens.


I also decided Trader Joe's dried mangoes are pretty awesome for various reasons:

1. THEY ARE CHEAP. A pack for $1.60+.
2. They are sweet. My only complaint is that they have added sugar (me thinks it's because they were dried before peaking, therefore making them cheaper). But it's a WAY better alternative to candy, and the taste of mango is still there.
3. My favorite part: they create friends. I just offer them to kids in my class, and now everyone's happy. Who doesn't like mangoes? Seriously guys, SERIOUSLY. Buy some and share.
4. Again, back to the added sugar, it's okay with me because after getting to college, I tend to skip bigger meals and opt for smaller ones. And I need the sugar to keep me alive and happy.

Therefore I shall go and buy myself another pack sometime soon. Just don't consume too many at once because they are sweet and have calories. I usually go for 1-3 pieces throughout the day (not at once).
