sometimes i wake up in deep sweats in the middle of the night because of a bad dream and this bad dream is about my eye lashes falling out. yes, that’s right. i’m totally vain when it comes to my lashes and you should be too. we only have so many years til that shit starts to fall out and all we can do is cake on the eyeliner and layer on the lipstick.

years ago i found the PERFECT eye makeup remover that saves me pulling and tugging AND it makes my lashes soft and pretty. and the secret is… wait for it, wait for it… johnson’s baby shampoo. i buy several of the little tiny travel bottles and sprinkle them in my gym bag, my shower, by my sink, etc. it saves me loads of dollares and has the benefits of not burning like a mother effer and being gentle to my goddamn eyes just like water, so says the commercial. 

i in no way support johnson and johnson so if you can get the target or off brand do it. just a quick tip for the second most important hair on your body.

they say that true beauty is measured in symmetry like if you eyes are the same width, if your nose is straight, if your cheekbones are the same height. i think that is entirely true for your face; however, i like a little dimension. maybe this is why when looking for a hair style, i prefer asymmetry to the balanced.

perhaps that’s why i prefer johnny depp to george clooney or freaks and geeks to glee. somethings are just better when you look at it and something seems a bit off, but you can’t put your finger on what it is. 

there are only a few things i miss about long hair: 1) the ability to shower at night and not waking up to a new wave artist hair-do and 2) the pony tail. to think it has been 2 solid years since i have been able to pull my hair back into a hair tie. just looking at pictures is enough to make me pull out a ream of bobby pins and go to work on getting my tiny hairs back into a baby pony.

chicks can often times fall into the mindset that a pony is for the gym and for hungover saturdays when at any moment you might need to vom. a classic pony is just precious paired with a nice dress and a poofy pony could be exactly what you need to spruce up your favorite denim and button down outfit.

(I adore this! I’m gonna drug a girlfriend and just put her hair in ponytails all night long. No that’s not creepy, you’re creepy)

yes! i can finally say that your hairstyle is so 2010. i have been waiting a whole year for that. chances are that your hair IS so 2010 so let us work on changing that, shall we?

i am changing mine, of course, and what i’m working towards is like the little black dress of hair: the classic bob. now there are many variations of this cut, in fact, i had a hard time narrowing down pics because every single one is like a gray line. my favs are around the lego hair/asian school girl cut. i like my bob like i like my men: clean, simple and rich. well that last one is specific just for men, but whatever.
