platinum face-off
i have lesbian crushes on certain models, actresses, and music artists. i'm picky when it comes to choosing my man, so naturally i'm also picky in choosing my lesbian crush. i have a different one for different inspirations... but in each is an admiration that is more fair as the next. it's an endless circle... i just can't help myself. amongst my faves... queens of platinum locks, Gwen Stefani and Abbey Lee Kershaw.
heart of stone
if you've been following my blog, i am sincerely grateful and most humbled. but besides my own feelings of gratitude, my point is that you should be familiar with my obsession over stone walls.... most importantly texture. embrace yourself.
Alemanys 5... "located in the core part of Girona's medieval quarter, within the scope of the first wall and overlooking the Placa de Sant Domenec, is the property Alemanys 5, whose original building dates from the sixteenth century."

have a bing! moment
i know most of you are google users. i am, too. but have you taken the time to switch over to bing every now and then? (search results have improved a great deal; i promise). it's my home page and main source for search at work (we're a company who highly promotes bing for obvious reasons...) and every morning on my screen, there's a display of an amazing photo taken somewhere around the world by a talented photographer. it's very inspiring...

Pray for Japan
what a sobering moment. every time i turn to the news and the public, i can't help but to be overwhelmed with sadness. my prayers go out to the victims and the volunteers in Japan. there are ways to help:
give 'til it hurts, and give good.
two of many different beauty looks for Spring
this season, there's going to be a lot of leeway in style. i can list all the different trends that will be hot, but the list is too long and a little bit redundant from past seasons. there are two of the many that i have to point out: colorful highlights and bold lips.
i mentioned to my friends and hair stylist that i wanted to dye parts of my hair purple. i didn't quite get the reaction i was hoping for, but then again i should be used to that, right? so i want to dye my hair purple... so what? i think it'll be fun and you know, i'm only young once. my friends' reactions didn't sway me one bit, but my stylist's reaction did it 100%. it can be extremely damaging, and it will wash out a lot faster than a regular dye job. he highly recommended i don't do follow through with it, and i found out there are ways to add bright colors to your hair without the damage: hair extensions. honestly, the first thought after hearing those 2 words only reminded me of one thing: Paris Hilton (not good). but then he showed me the different colors he can add, and i immediate switched gears. Paris who? there is one catch: $600. but it's made of real hair! worth it? no. i'd rather keep my dark tresses and experiment with color by other fashions. like lips.
i like bright lips. i like the adventurous feeling it gives. i also like that it's risky. red has always been a classic, and few people can fabulously pull it off without pulling a Courtney Love. but when it's done right with the correct shade and up-to-date application, you'll have a stunning night. but wearing bold lip color requires more maintenance than your average lip balm. you can't have smudge or else it will look messy. you must wear lip liner or else it will look undone. be careful what you drink and what you eat because lipstick can smear, and it's rather awful. of course there are smudge-free types and it works for a little bit. but it doesn't have that finishing quality. it can end up flaky and a little too cakey. it's disgusting.
