I totally wish I had been able to go to this…I mean, I guess I could have but it was iffy and I couldn’t find anyone to go with. I’ll go to the next one, hopefully.

cest-des-conneries asked: Just found your blog! Love the idea. Hey I noticed on the picture of the bottle necklace that you posted something about making your own. Would you post a DIY video? Or picture instructions? I would love to make one but I have no idea how it was done or what exactly is in the bottle.

Wearing a bra does not prevent sagging boobs.
Just thought I’d put it out there…there is no scientific evidence to support the myth that wearing a bra will prevent your boobs from sagging (except possibly in the case of wearing a running bra while working out). Granted, many larger-breasted women are more comfortable in a bra, but it will not prevent ptosis (the scientific word for breast sagging).
There have been a few...

The Help
I went to see The Help today and it was excellent. It was a really interesting movie, and Emma Stone was amazing (well, as always of course). Of course I knew how poorly whites treated blacks in the 50s and 60s but I never knew how poorly the whites that sympathized with blacks were treated…it was all just a complete mess. It had a lot of comic relief moments in it too, like the chocolate...

And she was in Lorenzo’s Oil…Enchanted….The Lovely Bones…and has even appeared on Saturday Night Live….
My mind has been blown. Decimated.

Chicago in NYC
I FINALLY saw Chicago on Broadway yesterday night! It was awesome. The entire show is done with no set, simple costumes, and a few props. It was great! It’s a lot different from the movie; my favorite difference was the courtroom scene. It was much funnier in the show than the movie! I would highly recommend seeing it. Next on the list: Billy Elliot!

College and Makeup
So, I met my roommate today and she is an avid makeup lover! We went to Sephora and she ruthlessly raided it. Just kidding, she only bought a few things…but she certainly loves makeup.
I, on the other hand, am not that big on makeup. I’ve got some, and I occasionally wear it, but due to my sensitive eyes and contact allergy etc. etc. I don’t wear much shadow, due to my pale...

Mah new raincoat.
I’ve had a really cute raincoat from H&M since Freshman year of high school but unfortunately, it no longer fits. I mean, I weighed like 95 lbs freshman year….and now I don’t. So, I decided to make a new one after an unsuccessful thrift shop hunt for a replacement. I copied the pattern off the existing raincoat and made it a bit larger, particularly in the shoulders. Result:...

So I attempted to go shopping....
I know I do my best to buy secondhand, but today I was tempted by the department store overstock seller that is Marshalls. I had brought my dad to the hospital to have a procedure done and was waiting for the call to pick him up, so I went to a nearby Marshalls and looked through the racks.
And….NOTHING I found was cute. At all. What is it with these “flowy” tops and wierd...

Making terrariums!
So, I made a post a few months ago about terrariums and the like - and finally got around to making some of my own! When I was in Cape Cod, there was a shop that sold Tillandsia, commonly known as airplants - they are bromeliads which need little care and are difficult to accidentially kill, even for me! They were 3 for $5 so I got three and incorporated them into a terrarium and a quasi-terrarium...

Cape Cod Pt. 5: Random Shots
I have quite a few shots that don’t have any specific category, or where there aren’t enough in a category to have a post dedicated to them…so here they are:
On Sunday night we went to see Harry Potter 7.2 at a drive-in theater in Wellfleet which was very cool! I had never been to a drive-in. There was a big screen (obviously, I suppose) and you tuned your car into a certain...

Cape Cod Pt. 4: Dune hike
On Tuesday, Kathryn and I decided to go letterboxing in Wellfleet, MA on a dune trail. Disclaimer: Never go on a dune hike on a hot sunny day - there is no shade and you will feel like you’re going to die.
I digress. Letterboxing, for those who don’t know, is akin to a treasure hunt for a small weatherproof container in which you find a stamp and a logbook - you sign the logbook, and...
