I decided to variate from my usual Queen Helene masque last night. Here’s the recipe I used:

Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque (enough to consider it a base)

+ 1 Viamin E capsule (pierce the capsule and add to the masque)

+ 1 Vitamin A capsule (same)

+1 Evening Primrose Oil Capsule (ditto)

+ a little bit of olive oil

+ 1/2 tsp of honey (I didn’t actually measure, I guessed)

Left it on for about 10 minutes and then washed it off with warm water and splashed with cool water. My skin felt SO good. So good, I thought I’d share. Also, you may think this will make your skin oily, but it will not. Wash it off with mild soap to be sure to get the oils off.

I feel so lonely lately, even though for the most part, I’ve been surrounded by family.  I know why. It’s something that sucks but I have no control over. He’s mad at me now because I said something about it (I told him I didn’t want to talk about it, but he insisted), but I think he knows I’m right.

I had the worst day at GNC yet on Friday. I can’t believe I even made it through it. Crying on the phone to your boss (and that’s just one of the three times I burst into tears that day) is really embarrassing. Having your boss be the only person you can tell about your real problems is pretty pathetic.  Having a boss that listens and encourages you to talk to her and actually makes you feel better is neat. Having something to blame such a rough patch on? Priceless.

I learned a lesson the hard way. I’m just not built for it.

I had chicken schwarma today. I had a good excuse! I made Jesse tried it because she had no idea.  Of course she loved it!

   Warning: This post is all over the place, mirroring my brain exactly.

I’m trying to avoid things that will hurt me. It’s tough. I already had a Dr. Pepper and 3 cups of tea. I’m so bad. So, because of my terrible ways, I’m now enjoying (yeah right) a cup of Alka Seltzer. It seems getting myself addicted to coffee has it’s downfalls. The pain got worse, and now it’s more tolerable, so I assume it’s getting better. I hope so. I’d like to be able to have a cocktail every now and then.

Jon Jon called me tonight. I’ve been stalking him for days, so it was nice to actually get a call. I hear more will follow.Yay! I can’t wait.

I found this awesome list of ideas over at Wish Jar. It’s super inspirational. You can even download it as a PDF. I’m going to make a map of my hand. If I can ever stop drawing pictures of my coffee cups. If I can’t drink out of them, I may as well enjoy them in other ways. I also wrote in my actual paper journal AND in Seth’s journal. I usually only write in my journal when I’m miserable, so that’s a rare and good thing for me. I drew 3 pictures, too. There’s a lot of other awesomeness going on at Keri’s blog, too. check her out?

I’ve been thinking a lot about the soul lately. If anyone has any good reading material on the subject, let me know. I’ve read “Spook” by Mary Roach. It’s good and I recommend it. It’s that type of books/websites I’m looking for.

  I got a pretty new theme. I gave up on making my own… for now. Interestingly enough, the one I was working on was green and featured birds. This one beats the one I was working on BY FAR!

I tried to make pretty potato rollup candy today for xmas presents, but it ended up being brown potato candy sticky balls. I bet they’re still delicious! They’re getting hard in the fridge.

I’m going to make my mom a pillow star. I think she’ll like that. I’ve never made on, so I hope I can get through it. It looks super easy.
