Seeking Beauty Advice

September 16, 2008

If you have gotten married recently, or if you’re just really good with makeup, I’d like your help please. I’m not sure what to do about makeup for my wedding. First, let me tell you what I do now: Face: after washing my face and moisturizing, I apply a translucent powder and light foundation to my T-zone, just to even out my complexion. I have this blush by Nars in the shade of “Madly,” but I usually only put it on for special occasions. Eyes: I use a primer by Benefit called F.Y. Eye, then use this duo eyeshadow by Nars in the shade of “All About Eve.” It’s very natural looking. I apply the matte shade all over the lid,…

A Poem, A Prayer

May 5, 2008

I’m not really into the whole poetry scene, but a certain style of it I do like, and this one touched me so I wanted to pass it along. Prayer beginning with four lines from Taha Muhammad Ali If, over this world, there’s a ruler who holds in his hand bestowal and seizure, I turn in prayer, asking him to decree for the hour of my demise that it be a morning on Lake Keowee, in early spring when the bloodroot and yellow violet are in bloom in the woods beyond us, a ghost of fog moving slowly, almost imperceptibly, across the grey water.

Guess the Movie

April 29, 2008

Ready for some more mindless fun? Below I have posted quotes (retrieved from imdb.com) from ten of my favorite movies. Without looking any of them up, can you guess which movies they are from? 1. “I have two guns; one for each of you.” 2. “–He fights for something that I never had. And I took it from him, when I betrayed him. I saw it in his face on the battlefield and it’s tearing me apart. –All men betray. All lose heart. –I don’t want to lose heart! I want to believe as he does.” 3. “The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.” 4. “You need to find yourself a girl,…

What Google Brings Me

April 28, 2008

So, I’m finished with school now. For real this time, I think. Of course, I do still have to pass the board exam, but no matter what, I will have my bachelor’s of science in nursing! Most of my classmates were going to Rice Village to celebrate, but me? Nah. I had a brownie, cleaned my room, read a magazine, and I plan to use the rest of the day writing to my pen pal, researching new cars, and of course watching “Dancing with the Stars.” I like my way of celebrating much better. So to keep it light, because this is how I’m feeling right now, I have decided to share with you some snapshots of phrases people have…
