Rant: Oily Hair
I know I know, I shouldn't be complaining. I've been blessed with straight somewhat soft hair until the oil queen comes and spreads her love all over my scalp leaving it shiny and flat. Yes-- there's such a thing as too much shine. I wouldn't mind the oily hair as much if there was some way I could get out of washing it everyday.
(Dear Dry Shampoo, you're great and everything but I'm not sure your small stature's worth the 18 bucks. Come on, now that's 4 starbucks grande caramel machiattos. They say good things come in small packages but you're burning a hole in my pocket.)
I LIED. I'm a liar and I'm lazy (I could barely type this all out.) I have a tiny can of dry shampoo and I rarely use it. I hardly wash my hair everyday too. I just can't help it, I'm too lazy. And I know, I'm in my twenties, I should care about how I look... but some days, I really don't give a shit.

i was ispired by blushing ambition...
cilantro
grape tomatoes
lemon
avocado
shrimp!!!
(i forgot the onions but it was still very yummy and fast to prepare :)
Since I'm known for devouring my food, it's no surprise that I didn't get a picture of the final product.

Perspective.
I think I need to step back and look at the bigger picture. I've got to stop dwelling on the things that I dwell on, and just move on. It's time. Wish me luck.

I came thissssssss close
to buying a jcrew belt on ebay but the boy convinced me otherwise :) and i'm glad!
meinmillions and I have a deal going on, NO shopping for the month of October,... but I've already got my eye on a few things (birthday, xmas... :) (investment pieces, I swear!) I also realize, the less fashion blogs I read, the less I want. Surprisingly, most of the sites that get me itching for new items are the "budget fashionistA" ones. I'm not hating, but the other day I realize I have 6 black blazers in my closet. One velvet, one striped velvet, one polyesterrr w/bows, one w/puffy shoulders AND bows, one looooose fitted and some other one lying around. Anyway, the point is-- I don't need all of 'em. I probably just need two, or maybe even one. The answer: EBAY!
I'm trying to stay on top of the job hunt but it's getting harder as each day passes. Indeed.com, monster.com, idealist.org, USAjobs.gov, craigslist.org,... the list goes Onnnn! What's a bachelor's degree worth these days? And, could I get my money back? I Kid:))
I made a video of tibby (the kitty) playing with a ball today and it just made me realize how much he has grown. There were moments when I thought he wouldn't make it (overdramatic, I know...) I never thought I woud have a pet, like really have a pet. He runs wicked fast and gets scared at the smallest things (a piece of paper falling...) He's becoming quite the little monster though, I'm going to have to get him a scratching post SOON. I'll also have to take him to the vet to get his shots. Oooh, I feel like a mom.
