I like your run-of-the mill glazed ones, please (no twists… I’m not into twists).
On me, BIG nay. They make me look even shorter than I already am.
When I worked in the city, I would usually pick something up from one of the food courts down there. It gave me a break from the office. Now, since I’m usually working at home, I eat here, but once or twice each week I’ll treat myself to the salad bar at Whole Paycheck (aka Whole Foods).
Time, sleep, patience, cats (LOL!), comfortable stretchy jeans…
If I’m wearing it up, I like messy buns with a headband. If it’s down, I’ll flat iron the top layers and ends. Both only take a few minutes to do.
There are too many to name! 🙂 — but I’ll go with Rump Shaker, by Wreckx-N-Effect.
I was in sixth grade, but I remember it like it was yesterday. My parents had forced me to chop my hair short like a boy’s (as luck would have it, this was around the time I got boobs). Oh, I cried rivers as I left the salon, and then just when I was beginning to come to terms with my new hair, a lady at a Hallmark store referred to me as a “nice little boy.” I’ve had some bad haircuts in my day, but that one was by far THE WORST!
Chanel Inimitable Intense! The stuff blends so incredibly quickly, and I love how easy it is to build volume with it at the base of my lashes.
To hang on until Mercury leaves retrograde on Sept. 12, to stick to my running schedule, to sing at least one song every single day, and to finish reading two inspirational writing books by next Monday.
What up, cutie patootie? It’s the Labor Day holiday here in the U.S., which is when we salute hard workers everywhere by taking the day off. 🙂 Well, actually, a lot of us still work today (sorry). If you do have the day off, however, I hope you’re doing something fun.

3. Cropped pants — yay or nay? I say nay unless you’re rocking a 50s look with high heels. Otherwise there is the danger of looking too much like a soccer mom.

8. Biggest beauty disaster? I have hearing aids. When I get my hair done I have to take them out. I left my mother to help me out and communicate with the hair stylist. They both decided that my then dyed brown hair needed to be put back blond when I just wanted some light brown highlights in my hair. I think they meant well but I ended up with extremely fried, melted hair. It took me a long time to grow that one out. It actually stretched and felt weird when I got it wet. Ew.

10. Weekly goals: To get back on the exercise wagon I’ve fallen off of recently, and to try not to worry to much by staying in the moment, a constant struggle for me.

2. Favorite kind of doughnut? Either glazed or the maple-y kind. I haven’t had a donut in probably years, and that sounds really good right now. 🙂
3. Cropped pants — yay or nay? Nay.. but I still wear them to work anyway because I can’t wear shorts (dress code) and I can’t wear skirts (I’m always rolling around on floor and chasing after kids and whatnot).
4. Do you ever brown bag your lunches? I usually do (not enough time to go get something), but I’ve had a hard time with it this school year. I’m at three different schools, so it’s not very practical to take a lunch without a fridge or anything.
5. Is there anything that you wish you had more of? ENERGY. Ha.
6. Your favorite quickie hairstyle? All my hairstyles are quickie hairstyles. It’s still in a weird growing-out phase, so I can’t do much with it at the moment.
7. Most embarrassing song on your iPod? I don’t think I really get embarrassed by any of it.
8. Biggest beauty disaster? Lots of short poofy hairstyles (I have reallllly thick, curlyish hair, and my mom would make me get these haircuts that could potentially be cute on someone with maybe half the amount of hair and volume I had). Also, I had headgear for a while that my mom actually MADE ME WEAR IN PUBLIC. People would talk to her and ask questions about me like I wasn’t there, because they thought I had some cranial/ spinal injury or something.
9. Current mascara crush? I’m still liking Buxom a lot. Not sure if I’ll move onto something else after this tube is empty.
10. Weekly goals:To get my car fixed! It’s definitely causing some problems and some stress. Meet up with a friend for coffee. De-stress as much as I can.

Semi-productive! I got a whole butt-ton of homework done this morning – before noon! mwah ha ha.
2. Favorite kind of doughnut?
oh god. Those ones at Krispy Kreme that have the ridiculous fluffy white stuff in them… it’s like heaven in a donut. *droooool*
3. Cropped pants — yay or nay?
Meh. They can look good on some people. Where I work (aka mom-ville) there are lots of ladies who wear them, but I’m not a big fan. I’m with you, Karen – I’m short enough as it is!
4. Do you ever brown bag your lunches?
Pretty much every day. Not with an actual brown bag, though. I usually tupperware it up, lol.
5. Is there anything that you wish you had more of?
hm. Time and money. Pretty much straight up.
6. Your favorite quickie hairstyle?
A super quick messy-curls-blowout thing that I do in the morning. It can get a little crazy-lady looking occasionally, but it usually works out 🙂
7. Most embarrassing song on your iPod?
I don’t have an iPod, HA!
8. Biggest beauty disaster?
Hmmm… probably the period during which I was trying to figure out my eyebrows. Or potentially me cutting my own bangs yesterday (the verdict is still out on that one).
9. Current mascara crush?
I’m still hardcore in love with MUF’s smoky lash mascara, sigh! I never ever spend more than $10 on Mascara, though. So I’m sadly destined for unrequited love, medieval knight-style.
10. Weekly goals:

All time fav would have to be running the straightener through my hair so it isn’t so frizzy then putting on a head band and throwing the rest up in a messy bun. Lately I’ve been using mouse to scrunch it, then french braiding my bangs to the side.
7. Most embarrassing song on your iPod?
El Vez-It’s now or never
8. Biggest beauty disaster?
I was such a dork in junior high so it’s really hard to pick one thing. I’m going to have to go with my hair.

Big thanks to my still best friend for showing me what a straightener is!

It is something different I like to listen too because I get so bored of my music.
8. Biggest beauty disaster? When I was 6, my mom went to HK and left me with my dad. My mom asked him to take me to the salon for my hair cut but my dad decided to cut it himself.

5. Is there anything that you wish you had more of? I hate to say it, but money. Times is tough, yo!

7. Most embarrassing song on your iPod? How’s this for embarrassing — I don’t have an ipod.

What’s your favorite kind of doughnut?
The Boston Creme kind (I like anything Boston Creme-y) and the chocolate crullers. Oh and sometimes the jelly filled ones if I feel like looking like a crackhead since I always get the powdered sugar all over myself.
Cropped pants — yay or nay?
On me, BIG nay. They make me look even shorter than I already am. –Ditto!
Do you ever brown bag your lunches?
I definitely try to…it’s hard to figure out whether or not getting, like, a sandwich for 10 bucks is cheaper than cooking something yourself, but I guess it depends on how many times you eat the meal, right?
Is there anything that you wish you had more of?
Time, sleep, books, dresses that fir me better, good jeans, and money
Your favorite quickie hairstyle?
Every day for me involes a quickie hairstyle. It’s literally wash it the night before, then hope it looks halfway decent in the morning while adding some wave-enhancing spray. The most I’ll ever do with preparation involves in curls the night before.
What’s potentially the most embarrassing song someone would find on your iPod?
Oh wow, tough one since I like a lot of ’embarassing’ music…but I’ll go with “I want to know what love is” covered by Clay Aiken. Although honestly that doesn’t really embarass me…I’m shameless at this point…
Describe your biggest beauty disaster:
Definitely an ill-advised short haircut that my mom suggested. I cried really hard when I realized how short–and ugly–it was.
Current mascara crush?
I haven’t explored anything new lately but I’m still on my MAC Opulash kick. It stays on and comes off in tubes.

Continue to work out every day, be a good friend, and only eat out once this week

3. Cropped pants — yay or nay? I am short, so I should say nay, but I wear them anyway, hahaha!
4. Do you ever brown bag your lunches? Everyday!
5. Is there anything that you wish you had more of? Time, discipline, and clothes. But the last one is totally unnecessary.
6. Your favorite quickie hairstyle? Throw a headband over that mop so I can sprint out the door to catch the bus, lol.
7. Most embarrassing song on your iPod? Some random French song that I don’t understand but is apparently really inappropriate. Hmm.
8. Biggest beauty disaster? Not realizing that putting on too much of my lipstain caused my mouth to look like it had been covered in pink highlighter. Ohhhhh dear…
9. Current mascara crush? I had a wildly quick and passionate romance with a tube of waterproof Full and Soft, but that faded as fast as it began when I realized the smudging was doing my dark circles no favors.

5. Is there anything that you wish you had more of? money, sleep, easy dresses that I can just throw on over my head and go in the morning.
6. Your favorite quickie hairstyle? High ballerina bun or French twist. I’ve got those suckers down. Unfortunately they hurt my head but sometimes a girl has to be lazy and not fix her hair (and it takes more effort for me to turn my frizz into pretty curls than it does for me to throw it up like that!)
7. Most embarrassing song on your iPod? Uh I would say 50%. Let’s go with Toto’s Africa for today.
8. Biggest beauty disaster? Toss up. My first – GIANT (and I mean amazingly huge) cystic pimple right on my nose in SECOND GRADE. I don’t think I’ve ever had a pimple that big since. Did I mention my first pimple? Oh that plus my short mushroom haircut at the time kicked off my awkward phase, which lasted until I was 24. And the other – waxed my upper lip, had exfoliated said skin, painful burnt peely bits on top that looked worse than the hair there.

5. Is there anything that you wish you had more of? Patience. Time in the mornings without sacrificing sleep.
