oilé

i'm having a really hard time 

not turning this blog into a beauty roundup

of the products i accumulate and test on myself

right now i'm so into oils 

and things in unlabeled jars, pots, and dropper bottles

just bought that josie maran argan oil - no opinion yet

i switch off cleaning my face with 

a half sweet almond/half castor oil (clear pump bottle)

and straight coconut oil (clear pot) 

depending on what i feel like at night, either pumpy or scoopy

my favorite part of the day is my night routine: 

taking off my makeup and putting on my night creams 

my second favorite is when 

i wake up 8 hours later and put my makeup on again

happy sunday, bring on another week!

the big M

who remembers this?

biked passed it everyday and 

it's the pic that shows up when my mom calls me

wednesday off hanging with my mom

ballister's ballers

last night i got to go to

 seamus' law school's formal dance,

ballister's ball

on a 3-decker yacht in marina del rey

basically seamus is the biggest baller at law school - 

two girls spent a good 5 minutes telling him how awesome he is

amidst breaking into katy perry's "eye of the tiger hear me roar" song:

second hand pride and second hand embarrassment all at once

and i got to wear the prettiest dress of my mom's too!

so pretty that when we got back i didn't want to take it off

so i snapped some pics in their bathroom

fun night, chill sunday

bring on monday

hawaii mani

got this mani when i went to hawaii

got it again this week for good time's sake

isn't it cool?

cheek kiss

got kissed on the cheek

 by a very gracious, very old woman at work today

there's always one thing like this per day 

that makes working hard all day 

and the sweet designer bags under my eyes

totally worth it

wednesday off

album on repeat and cleaning stuff
1:51

never moving out!

cormac doing his best squints

eating dinner, reading into the gloss, when this happened

then we got hannah involved and threw it back to 2009

this photo was taken summer 2009

when i had 4 extra pounds stored in each cheek

(on my face, you sickos)

2013 - all cute and killin it

bella takes home trophy for longest tongue

chelo for biggest freak

sunday favorite day 

and possibly my favorite top shelf 

in a while

twins love it too because she is on their favorite show

H2O: just add water

which is about mermaids, of course

blisters on my sisters

i had a slew of bubbling blisters plaguing my heels

from all the walking i did in new york

 - spared you the pic of them - 

terrible.

i wanna say thanks to my feet for letting me do that to you, my kicks, 

and a big thanks to egyptian magic for the sweet relief.

generously (almost wastefully) slathered the cream on my heels overnight 

when i got back and i'm not kidding: magic!

heels nearly 100% healed

on this wednesday off i'm about to go get a mani pedi

and treat my tootsies to some "me time"

note: i've had my jar of egyptian magic 

since junior year of college at the polly pocket

it's not even half gone!

 totally would've gotten the 2 oz. had it been out
