Gladly Beyond Me

Overwhelmed

Janice — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 09:22:25 +0000

I am still not writing as much as I would like. Actually, I am not even writing at all, unless you count the tweets. What have I been up to…?

Bachelorette party
Smog check
Tune-up for my car
Bridesmaid dress alteration
Shoe shopping for said dress
Figure out how to do my manicure for the wedding (French, per the bride. I’m going to be a bit different and do the “new French manicure” so it looks a little less cheesy).
Facial
Hair cut
Watching films from the Criterion Collection
Rekindling my love for YA literature

I will be back. Eventually.

The Doctor Who universe came at me like a Dalek invasion. There was no way for me to be prepared for this mental and visual onslaught and before I knew it, I became a Whovian overnight. So much so that I am about to get a trock album. Oh, yes.

Hello

Janice — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 00:12:53 +0000

I am coming back.

Something terrible, but true

I love my friends but I also love to be left alone when I am sleep deprived or, more specially, when I just arrive at work. I feel bad sometimes but what can I do?

I knew I was being crabby to her on purpose but what was funny was her response. She knew I “wasn’t myself” and left my desk after a few short minutes of inane rambling. I “wasn’t myself” because I didn’t feel like talking to her.

Come here, pretties

Stuff I want to try this year. But only on the condition that with every new product I get, I throw one away. Same goes for clothes & shoes. (,_,)

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Nectar

Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge For Lips And Cheeks

LipFusion Color Shine

Diorskin Nude Natural Glow Hydrating Makeup SPF 10

Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Blush

Shiseido Benefiance Pure Retinol Instant Treatment Eye Mask

Makes me feel like a lady

In 2010, I did something completely out of character. I shopped the heck out of Sephora, Ulta, Target, and Walgreens, and tried on everything that I could get my grubby, little hands on. I admit that it was borderline ridiculous and there were a lot of duds, but now I can compile a list of staple products that I know I will go back to. Phew. This will also be handy when I need to replenish my supply. (^ ^)

Anastasia Bro Powder Duo in Medium Ash and Perfect Brow Pencil also in Medium Ash

Benefit BADgal Waterproof Mascara

Dior Best in Show Mini Mascara Duo

Lancome Le Crayon Kohl in Black Coffee

Urban Decay Ink for Eyes in Demolition

Benefit Stay Don’t Stray

Josie Maran Cream Blush in Sunrise

Benefit Boxed Powders Collection. I kind of fell in love with the boxed powders. I have Hoola, Dandelion, and CORALista so far. I think Sugarbomb will be next on my list.

Nars Sheer Matte Foundation in Deauville. I’m going to pick this up in Fiji when the weather gets warmer.

Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Cream For Face SPF 55 PA+++.

Urban Decay De-Slick Mattifying Powder. Much better than all of that ridiculous rice paper I used for years.

Amazing Concealer in Light Golden

Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder

Buxom Lips in Bunny

MAC Cremesheen Glass in Boy Bait.

MAC lipsticks in Please Me and Politely Pink.

Now I am on the hunt for a reliable tinted moisturizer. Liquid foundation can be a bit heavy for daily wear. I HATE powder foundation–they tend to make me look 10 years older. ㅠ.ㅠ

뮤비 – 피기돌스 – Trend

Working on my list

Janice — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 04:43:05 +0000

I am going to write down my New Year’s resolutions, goals, dreams, what have you–and seriously make myself do at least half of them. We all know these are just meant to be broken because we recycle the same ones year in and year out. Or is that just me?

Sometimes I forget

I tend to neglect things, whether they are important or less than important, when I get incredibly busy. This blog is no exception.

New Year’s is right around the corner. Great way to get things going again, right? Right. I also need to figure out how to get all of my belongings to fit into my car. Why? Because, for one, it feels awesome to clean things out. I tend to be very minimalistic but I have been hoarding a whole lot of crap lately. And secondly, I am moving and I really don’t feel like making more than one trip. We’ll see how that goes. Cheers.
