Kiss Me With Your Sugar Lips

S.W.A.K.

Well, it's time for a review. As I walked around New York City for the past week, I went into Macy*s to look at the flower show a little bit. From there, I walked to the Philosophy counter and picked up this product (not my picture):



It's their lip exfoliator. It is a little grainy and you just rub it on your lips until they feel smooth. Simple instructions, simple product, lovely results. I follow it up with some lip balm, and feel as good as new.

Actually, I have a love-hate relationship with the current balm I am using. I used to have SoftLips in strawberry, and my goal was to finish the entire tube (a feat that I had never accomplished in my LIFE), and when I had a few swipes left I lost it. I could not believe it.

Anyway, so I bought the Savannah Bee in mint julep and like I said, we have an interesting relationship (not my picture once again):


And I've done the vaseline thing, which I don't feel does very much. Any suggestions out there?

Tie-Dye... Gone Wrong, Gone Right.

So the other weekend, my favorite apartment-mate and her friend Chad and I decided to tie-dye. Oh yes. As we prepared to get all the materials, we drove around in his bright yellow VW bus, like in Little Miss Sunshine, while listening to the Remember the Titans CD. Not only that, but it was bright and sunny day outside, and we go to school right on the California Coast.

Could we have anymore of a hippie feeling day?

So we tie-dyed in the backyard with the following colors:
- Wine
- Bright Purple
- Sunshine Yellow / Mustard
- Forest Green
- Blue
- Kelly Green

The shirts came out gorgeous. However, we got a little impatient and wanted to wear them, so we put the shirts in the washing machine before they dried.

Big mistake. The colors faded, and the white parts of the shirt became grey.

But after looking at them for a while, we fell in love with the effect it gave the shirts. They looked like something you could buy at Lucky!. It was so exciting. So, I love them dearly.

What I did for mine was for one of the shirts I did a spiral, with blue, sunshine yellow, forest green & kelly green which now you can see a bit of yellow and the greens, but definitely the seashell spiral.
Then, I did wine, bright purple, yellow and green. This one I used the circle/ripple effect. Now you just see lighter versions of the colors with the grey background of course.
And I used my HANES V-NECKS! Thank goodness, I am so tired of all the white ones.

There are pictures to come. But it does help with those boring white items of yours...

It'd be cool to do tie-dye underwear... :) just a thought.

Ha.

I bet you thought I died? Eh Eh?!
Well, I am procrastinating from studying for finals, so I thought I'd post polyvore outfits on here instead.
