Some things are just meant to be.

Finals are over...(for this quarter) and I have a whole two weeks off until I'm back on the grind again!  I have some very big plans....sleeping and lots of leisure reading. I know that sounds so very retired old lady of me BUT these two things keep me happy and sane! 

Instead of rambling on in this post I thought I would give it some meaning.  I came up with some things that I have declared "will not live without EVER" and thought they deserved a shout out, so here they are:

 Josie Maran Argan Oil-  I had read that Argan Oil has some really amazing benefits for your skin so I ran out and bought this despite my initial doubts about putting oil on my already oily face.  I put this on my face at night and in the morning it felt like I had brand new skin.  So soft!  We have not parted ways since.

 La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo-  use this once a day....zits no longer a reoccurring thing, enough said!

Dermalogica Intensive Eye Repair-  An amazing thing that happens to you when you finally start getting comfortable in your own skin...it starts lashing out at you.  Drying out and puffing up, not cute at all.  This is the one thing that makes me feel back to normal on those days.

MAC Select Moisture Cover Concealer-  Girls best friend!

Updates and Vegetarianism.

HI Everyone!  It's been a long time, 4 months exactly, but I have some good excuses.  School work can be mostly to blame.  I've been working so hard to get my last and final prerequisite classes out of the way before I apply to my program in January.  Not only do I need to finish them I actually have to get AMAZING grades in them (lame, I know), which there lies the issue with trying to maintain a blog.  Life consists of far too much studying at the moment.  I think I've officially hit the "wall", and with that I mean I have a lot of moments where I think, "a full time job in something I HATE has to be much better than spending hours and hours a day on studying and homework that I am not getting paid for."  Luckily, I have my husband to talk me off the ledge.

Aside from school not much has changed in the last 4 months, 2 small road trips, another year older, another tattoo, 2 weeks without a cancer stick, and this week I've decided to test the waters of becoming a Vegetarian.

To make a long story short, my husband and I had a long conversation about hunting for hobby, which I don't agree with (just my opinion).  Something about killing an innocent animal as a "fun" past time makes me feel like its sort of messes with a balance of nature or something.  That's right, were getting real here people, lol.  Then he brought up the fact of eating meat that obviously has been slaughter for the sole purpose of consumption.  Although I think this is slightly better than just going out in nature and shooting whatever is in season for just the sake of hunting, it still really gets me upset.  SO, I thought to myself,  if I have such a  negative reaction to it then why am I contributing to it by still eating meat?   Thus my journey of no meat this week.  Wish me luck!
