Painless Grammar, by Rebecca Elliott
Put sunscreen on your feet, brush your chompers with ADA approved toothpaste, and speak your mind because people aren’t mind readers (I’m still working on this one).

I’m wearing a bunch of stuff from the Smashbox Untamed Summer 2009 collection, like Waterproof Shadow Liner Trio in Exotic ($29) and the Double-Ended Eye Brightener ($22) on my eyes, Creamy Cheek Color in Untamed ($24) on my cheeks and a mix of the Raw and Flesh Lip Glosses on my lips ($18 each). Yep, expect reviews of these soon.
Dark skinny jeans, a green, floral Hawaiian print button-up shirt and yellow sandals
Same as usual… Organize all of the crap that’s piled up around my desk, because if I don’t, it just might bury me alive. Also, I have to start flossing my teeth after every meal and getting better about doing my core exercises.
Hiya, homies. It’s mornin’ time here in Nor Cal and looks like it’s going to be a nice and sunny day.
I hope I get everything off my plate today. My plan is to abide by this quote from my man Hugh Jackman: “You just have to stay positive, because if you worry too much about things, madness lies therein.”
Sage advice, right?

Hey Karen I finally got Humid on a mini-haul…how would you pair it with Club? Happy Monday!
Hi Jacks,
Oh, two of my favorite colors. 🙂 You could…
1. line your eyes with a dark brown liner, smudge Club on top of that and then draw the color up onto the lid. Finish by applying Humid on top of Club from the lid and into the crease.
2. apply Humid to the inner half of the lid and crease and then Club on the outer half
3. apply Club to the lid and then line your lower lash line with Humid.
If you have Soft Brown or Saddle you can throw that up in the mix, too, by popping that in the crease for any of these looks. 🙂

Three makeup products I can’t live without: I think I may be more into skincare, so Neutrogena Healthy Skin SPF 30 sunblock – I can be obsessive about sun exposure. Also my eye cream one because when I try to put the Healthy Skin by my eyes it burns because it’s a chem. block. I use the Dove Pro Age Spf 8. Also, I use prescription skin wash and treatment and without those I can breakout: Prascion and Differin. I wouldn’t want to go without either lip balms Rosebud Salve and Nivea Touch of Rejuvenation SPF 4. I should really get a higher SPF lip balm. Can’t go without hand cream either like CO Bigelow Lemon hand treatment or my dollar store cocoa butter. Other than that, I think I can live without my shadows, eyelash curler, liners, lipstick.. but… I don’t think I would want to, bc it sparks my creativity, and I love to collect.

Makeup or beauty confession: I used to do my eyebrows so heavily and caked on that this boy in my grade came up behind me and expressed his opinion on my makeup: *cheesy cough* “Fake eyebrows!” *cheesy cough* I gave him a stern look, and he replies: “Sorry, I sneezed”.
Book I’m reading: “Love, Stargir”l by Jerry Spinelli.
Three ways to learn from my mistakes:
1. Do the opposite of your mistake and see how that works. If that turns out to be a mistake too, then you should learn from THAT. 😉
2. Warn anybody thinking of doing that mistake that it’s a no-no, and what to do to solve whatever problem you were going to solve with that mistake.
3. Try a variation of the same thing you did and see how it works out. As I said earlier, I used to overdo my eyebrows – now, instead of scrapping my brow pencil altogether, I lightly shade the hairs.

Hi Ines,
Your aquarium family is growing! I hope Hansel isn’t jealous! 🙂
Karen,
The rain managed to remain on hold until eight pm so I did manage to take the dogs on a walk. Ally gave me a big ol’ Husky kiss before the walk before she was so excited. I went walking with a big ol’ wet spot on my face. Cute but mildly disgusting as Ally drools. Ew.
And now, it’s back to drizzling. It’s alternating really between really warm days and plain ol’ rainy days and nights. In other words, the rain has caused a series of flood warnings in the state of IL. Thankfully, I live in the hilly part of town and away from the watershed so no flood warnings for me.
Zena sends a kiss on the forehead. She doesn’t do kisses on the cheeks for some reason.
Hi Kate & Zena,
Awww… that’s cute! I’ll take a forehead kiss from your pup.
Anyway, I hope it dries out soon. Hang in there… spring is right around the corner.

Hi Tania,
Spencer was so rude to Heidi’s friends (big surprise). Oh, I read about their wedding. Heidi looked pretty… but her mom didn’t look too happy. I also read that the show is gonna continue without LC! I dunno if I can bear to watch it if it’s gonna be all about Speidi, honestly. I think it’s on its last legs.
Unfortch, I’m taking awful (aka lame) classes during the summer. I’ll be taking Fundamentals of Communications and American National Government (okay, not so lame). I have yet to sign up for fall courses but I’m trying for Crime Scene Investigation and Intro to Criminal Justice. Much better than summer!
How are you? I’ve been enjoying the summery weather around these parts but dreading putting any heavy makeup on in the morning (oily faces are NOT cute). Actually, dreading anything past tinted moisturizer! LOL.
Hi Kim,
At least you’ll have something to do during the summer. I always liked summer courses. It’s less crowded on campus, the weather is nice… plus when you get out of class you can always treat yourself to an ice cream!
I’m doing well on this end, thanks for asking. 🙂 It’s been kinda chilly here (I’m wearing a turtle neck right now). I’ll totally trade you for some summer weather.
Yeah, I’ll be getting back into the groove of school stuff. Yes, I’m pretty excited about the small classes and better parking but I’ll have night classes. This means no warm weather enjoying for me!
I definitely don’t want to trade my 70s+ weather right now. I’m done with ice storms and 40 degree weather! You go away with that horrible weather! GO AWAY LOL… Don’t worry, it’ll be warm for you soon enough 🙂
Hi Kim,
Night classes have their perks! At least you won’t have to be trucking across campus in the heat, right?
I am really hoping it warms up soon. I’m so ready to give up my turtleneck sweaters, you don’t even know!
