a classic never changes

The other night I had an induction ceremony for an honor society at my school. Under a friend's incistence, I took pictures and edited the makeup I did on her face in a quick three minutes. I used my "Walking on Eggshells" palette that seems to work well on all skin tones. I've decided that classic shapes, colors and everything even books are best- trendy is just so not me! Besides this, I've been feeling a lot of regret in my life, about friends, people, and myself. I guess, I should just let go and move on? and maybe learn to stick with the classics.

My outfit was inspired by some vintagey photo spread I saw the other day on the internet.

30 for 30 + project 10 pan.

the government says that the recession is over, i simply nod my head in disagreement. the gas price is sitll above $3.30/gallon and i can still believe that shops are going out of business, and people are still searching for jobs in desperation. i am a teen, but i like the the rest of the work force, do make my own money- and do pay my own taxes. when you're under 18 and have a job, it's like growing up in a big city. you grow up faster than you should. i'll get into the morals of having a job, and the fleeting quality of childhood another day. today, we're getting into 30 for 30 and project 10 pan.
if you're a makeup junkie, you know the basics of it is to finish up 10 makeup products, and the one condition you have to stick to is you can not buy any makeup at all for the time you are using up the 10 products in your collection. considering i'm extremely busy nowadays, i'm thinking this is a good time to do it, since the temptation of shopping for makeup is minimal.
1. l'oreal infallible eyelienr
2,3. revlon creme illumiance eyeshadows x2
4. clinique sunkissed bronzer
5. l'oreal voluminous mascara
6. wet n' wild megaslicks lipgloss in clear
7. rimmel lipstick in airy fairy
8. smith's rosebud salve
9. eos lipbalm
10. mabyelline the falsies mascara
i know i've included a lot of these products in my blog previously, but i've yet to finish them through my many successive, yet unsuccessful project ten pans. yay me.
now, 30 for 30 is a completely different yet, shockingly similar type of project. i got the idea form the blog credited below- i love this blog. she has a very preppy, almost teacher like style, and her lines and pages are very clean. it's almost similar to http://www.cupcakesandcashmere.com/ excpet for the fact that cupcakes and cashmere is defintley more high fashion and bohemian. anyways, the way 30 for 30 works is that you...
pick out 30 pieces of clothing you will wear everyday for 30 days.
will wear every piece of clothing over the course of 30 days.
not buy any clothes for 30 days.

much love. xx

the start of this extended weekend has been filled with nostalgia and pangs of pain. i can assume that i am a fondly nostalgic person- that i ponder upon all the laughs, smiles and beauty of the past. but, that fact would only be true with a disclaimer. but, sometimes scrolling through facebook kind of sucks. this probably sounds creepy, when things pop up on your newsfeed your heart strings get tugged, no pulled and you feel that pang of regret- did i do something wrong? i always rewind and tell myself to live without regrets- and to find joy in the pain.
yesterday, i burned myself with a jalapeno. i didn't even know it was possible to do that until then, my hand + face felt like they were on fire and all the blood was drawn out of it. of course, while screaming and holding cold water on my face, i looked up how to take away jalapeno burn or something along those lines. apparently you should take dairies (yougurt, cream cheese, sour cream, milk) that's cold and slap it on your face and the burn should go. but, the jalapeno will stay on your hands for a while (or your face..) so avoid hot water, makeup and contacts ( i learned that the HARD way).
my weekend's started off crazy- but much love to all <3

huckleberry finn + snow

i've recently discovered tons of new blogs with this crisp, clean feel that have inspired me to document more of my life, and more of my outfits on this blog. i'm going to do a whole redo of everything in here- redoing the background, the name, the banner everything! so, here's my brand new spanking blog! whenever i have started something, i get all OCD about it. i've also started a new "project" i guess i should talk about. i've started making inspiration boards- yeah like the ones magazines use to inspire their writers and stylists of their themes that month. but, mine - obviously i don't work at a magazine-includes my short term goals for that month+ the colors that inspire me and the mood that i want that month to be. we all know over here that i enjoy 10 things i hate about you, even though it was canceled this fall (why!?) and brianna creates a dream book. yes, i know, a lame-o dream book. it contains all her goals and dreams that she wants for her life - of course hers is so detailed, it's scary. but, i don't think i need a dream book. my life isn't set out to be planned by myself- but rather by God. God knows my future, so why should i dream of any other future than one with Him?

anyways my plans for today? absolutely nothing. it snowed an underwhelming amount - 4 inches. our whole town and school district expected over 8 inches- so they canceled school last night. but of course, the weather holds itself out on us. i'm sure every kid curses the weather man once in a while. i was too ashamed to take the pictures i took of myself today- i couldn't suck it up! i'm currently not wearing my contacts, concealer or any spot of makeup and wearing a big old sweatshirt, ratty sweatpants and those slipper booties that kids wear around the house. yay me!

snow days + winter chill

every day should be a snow day. tomorrow is going to be one! our school called our house and everything, which is super exciting. i know i will hate this snow day for ruining my memorial day weekend, but hey! let's not worry about the future. carpe diem! of course, i have those dreaded midterms to study for, and after midterm week i have a nerve racking week of meetings with people who are infinitely smarter than i. joy! planning, preparation and haste- my three favorite words to describe a month. January is going to be more hectic then i had planned! oh don't we all love the unexpected burden? i''ll stop complaining now. I've spent the past three days addicted, absolutely addicted to the TV show 10 things i hate about you from around 2009-2010. I have accomplished all 20 episodes from www.hulu.com. seriously, the show is not nearly as good as the good ol' 1999 movie, but hey! it was like a good cheesy, super cheesy, super kind of stupid but kind of good guilty pleasure comedy chick flick on crack (20 episodes of that!). in theory they're good study breaks (each episodes is just under 25 minutes), but you get addicted fast. so, save a whole snow day if you want to watch them. but seriously, i was addicted, i seriously raced home from school all of yesterday and today to watch it. I'm somewhat happy with the way the first (and only...) season ended. but seriously, WHY DO THEY CANCEL SHOWS I ACTUALLY WATCH? i know sometimes they suck, but sometimes.. i kind of want to know what happens! like The beautiful life? remember that show?! seriously, stop canceling shows tv, i'm scared to get hooked now, i'll suffer from withdrawal.anyways, i filmed a video today, and it has uploaded, but here's my outfit.
