Obviously these were taken for what almost seems like eons ago because not it's a little too chilly for bare legs. A couple of posts ago I rambled on about only purchasing work clothes and Banana Republic is somewhere I frequent because its literally feet away from my work site at Rockefeller Plaza. I'm also devoting more of my lunch breaks in Ann Taylor and Anthropologie as well but mostly during sales and always only for workwear. What I have been trying at (and doing quite well I might add) is not buying lipstick makeup. I wanted to splurge on Sin and Midimauve but I ended up getting theBalm lipstick, in Amanda Kissmylips (first time ordering from HauteLook) for only $6 which is a nine dollar difference from the Mac ones that I want and an eleven dollar discount from its original price.
I noticed that lining my lips with a pencil first will stretch my reapplication time. Also for some reason I always look for scents in lipsticks and this one smells chocolate-minty. The formula is a mix between sheer and matte which is something new to me because I normally gravitate to only matte lipsticks because the pigment is better and in my opinion if I am paying $20 for lipsticks I better be getting high pigment! Generally speaking, I will naturally gravitate towards anything matte, my skin is so oily and I never leave the house without SPF so I only ever appear even that much more oilier throughout the day. My dermatologist said oily skin is a gift and a curse because in your youth you're more prone to break outs but as you age you're less prone to fine lines and wrinkles, go figure!

Drive me crazy

He drives me crazy with his slow-moving-getting-dressed-for-school routine, it is repetition and he moves like a snail, EVERYDAY. Oh and his obsession with Tamagotchi Life or Pokemon, or everything else that ends in "mon" and his need to explain to me every creep thing his Tamagotchi's do and how I was voted ugly in Tamagotchi world, is annoying. Bad enough my body will not let me sleep past ten, his if I'm awake everyone has to be awake approach to Saturday and Sunday mornings is cruel and vicious. My stance on hygiene and healthy eating just do not go with his outbursts of "I just took a bath yesterday" and "no it's not, McDonalds is good". Ya know, Jonas has always had a lack of personal space with strangers on the train/bus/sidewalk but seriously he wails his arms, spins in circles, stares onto other peoples phones and speeds down streets at random like a fighter jet, not caring who or what is in his path.
Then, just as I am about to loose it he insists that I sit down when there's a seat on the train and that he will just sit on my lap. As of recent he is persistently reading a fourth grade reading level book and he does not get discouraged when I have to help him with words. Somehow he's keeps reminding himself to take his multivitamin as soon as he wakes- then he proceeds to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face! The other day he even moisturized his face with coconut oil without me having to tell him to, I was just in awe, he did not miss a spot-he looked like a brand new kid.
I expect a lot from him, sometimes I have to tell myself: relax Tiffany, he is six he is an alright kid. Even if his obsession with games borders on my worst nightmare, but hey, I guess that is how I was about Harry Potter, once upon a time.
