In the meantime

While my camera situation is fixing itself, I figured it wouldn't hurt to work on makeup. I'm currently home and quite bored. It's about 6:12pm and it's sunset. I remembered buying the Smashbox Mother Earth Palette a while back and there were a lot of blues and oranges. I know my color wheel - they're complimentary. How in the world do you get them to blend?


I just saw how it works. Something like this:

I've done some cool things lately

I haven't blogged in about a good 2 months. In that time, I've done a good lot:

- finished student teaching
- acquired a teaching wardrobe
- acquired a bunch of hats
- made giant mess of my apartment
- I'm graduating this Sunday. Approximately 24 hours from now.

Life is pretty grand right now and now it's a matter of cleaning up the grand mess that is my apartment.

Unfortunately, I broke my camera Halloween night. I have to take pictures the old school way through the view finder. Any pics may take longer than usual.

As a holiday present, I'll give this advice to any lucky people who happen to stumble upon it.

Approximately 3 times it has happened to me that when I order an item through Anthropologie oppose to the website, the item has gone on double sale before it has reached me. I get my item at a substantially lower price and life is nicer. Here's the pattern I've noticed when that happens. The item I want is usually on sale to begin with since it is not often that a retail item sells out mad fast. They usually don't have my size on the website and it becomes very likely that the item will just sell out. What's even better is it they don't have the item on the website and it's on sale at the store, then they have to order through another store. Thus, the way this works is wanting an item that's extremely hard to find that has to be ordered through another store. It has about a 66% chance of working based on my experience.

Now I'm off to organize my thoughts...
among other things.
