beauty tips

beauty tips
by audrey hepburn

for lovely eyes
seek out the good in people

for a slim figure
share your food with the hungry

for beautiful hair
let a child run their fingers through it once a day

for poise
walk with the knowledge that you'll never walk alone

people, even more then things have to be restored, renewed, revised, reclaimed and redeemed. never throw out anybody.

remember: if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm. as you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. one for helping yourself and one foe helping others.

haystack cookies

since thanksgiving is coming up, i'm slowly getting into the spirit. i've actually never had haystack cookies during the holiday season, but i have been craving them. Here is the recipe for all of you (sharing is caring). i need to call my mom and get her famous broccoli casserole recipe, but until i do i leave you with this.


Haystack Cookies

6 oz package of butterscotch chips
1/4c chunky peanut butter
2c miniature marshmallows
3 oz can of chow mien noodles

melt chips, mix in peanut butter. remove from heat, add marshmallows and noodles. drop on wax sheet.

easy, right?

new moon!!!

aaaaaaaaah! new moon is tonight!!! ive been waiting all year for this day to come.

all i can say is...

hello jasper

How love notes should be written

Dearest Mary Anne.

Thank you very much for fixing my blog. Somehow i managed to screw it up. i think i hurt my blogs feelings when I yelled at it, and called it names. I know i may be stubborn at times, by thinking I don't need your help doing things; in all actuality I do need your help. You are an amazing sister.

And basically what I am trying to say is you rock.

photobooth fun

So I haven't posted anything for a while, and there has been a lot of things going on in my life. I got this idea to post some things that i just LOVE and where to purchase them, instead of just posting pictures of PMTS. Let's see how this goes.

I bite my lips when I get nervous, irritated, sad, and happy. Basically I bite my lips constantly. They were in really bad condition, and a Make-up Artist came to PMTS and gave me this lip conditioner. I love it because it doesn't feel waxy, it is easy to apply, and it comes in different shades. I am a lipstick girl, so i don't feel out of place when i wear this instead. Ir is $14.50 and lasts forever! fuchsia/span>

A couple years back I was walking around Sephora looking for an eyelash curler. Originally I wanted a MAC one, but there wasn't a MAC in that town. I asked a sales rep which eyelash curler she had recommended. The lady got really excited, ran across the store and brought me back the Shu Uemura. She told me it was made for Asian eyelashes (which are almost impossible to curl) and it was super cheap. I think I paid like $8, or something. That lady was totally right. My eyelashes stay curled all day long, and this thing is fool proof. I mean my little brother can curl his lashes with this baby. A lot of women are scared of eyelash curlers because they think they will cut off their eyelashes, and I have never had a problem.

The price has gone up quite a bit, but it is well worth the money, and they last a couple years.

eyelash curler here we come!

I was going to purchase this for myself for my graduation present, but I just cant spend the money on it yet, I am being quite stingy, since I want to move to Seattle. Marc Jacobs has amazing taste in perfume, and this one exceeds my expectations. It smells like a flower field that got attacked by glitter loving aliens.

I have always been a St. Ive's girl. Its cheap, exfoliates. and it is cheap. My friends face had cleared up quite a bit, and stress pimples where popping up out of now where on mine. I asked her what she was using, and she highly recommended this. My face has never been this clear before, and I have only been using this for a couple weeks. My favorite thing about this product is that it tingles, and it is highly condensed. A little goes a long way. I think I paid about 8 bucks.

So anyone who knows me, knows that I have three really big addictions. Hand soap, Pens, Paul Mitchell stuff. It is really hard for me not to by any of these things when I walk into a store. I really like the Method hand soap because it is gentle on your skin and it is gentle on environment. I love the lavender one. It smells fantastic! You can purchase this at Target for $2.99. They also have awesome cleaning supplies.

I LOVE PENS! I could possible consider it a pen collection. Sharpie Pens rock my world. I can never keep track of these suckers, people steal these babies. The color is amazing, and they do not smear, which i just love, since I hold things funny. They run about $1.25 a piece.
