Taking a breath
If you’re anything like me, you probably start the day off like this.
Peep the link if you like adorableness.
So today we’re going to work on a breathing exercise.
Michelle Phan’s Fall Lookbook and smelly things
First of all, this is the most creative approach to a video lookbook I’ve ever seen anyone do, though I admittedly don’t look at a lot of people’s lookbooks so that might not mean much. Still, Michelle’s been one of my top YouTube loves since I was 11 so I’m fine supporting.
I’m currently sitting in a Starbucks enjoying my small coffee-priced WiFi and electric connection and feeling happy I put on Westbrook instead of the TF Plum Japonais that is slightly inappropriate for the warm autumn day. Read More
Bad influences
Bloo, my stuffed representation of the internet sensation Boo started smoking under the supervision of my boyfriend. I am so disappointed.
I decided it would be a lovely idea to leave Bloo with Mr. Chokkattu for a fun day at his office and workplace, to be returned to me the next time he sees me this week: Tuesday, if nothing goes wrong. The morning went fairly well:
Update on JumpStart laying off TNT
On Reddit this morning, I saw this:
So I went on the Facebook page and confirmed this:
Sierra Hunt, I think, is just an avid Neopets user, but apparently she contacted them through the JumpStart page, and this was the response she got. I can’t find the post on the JumpStart page, so I’m assuming it was deleted or she sent a direct message. Fingers crossed for a speedy statement.
The good news: Neopets is not gone forever.
The bad news: Neopets is probably gone forever anyway.

Some days I need to remind myself not to give in to my emotions.
Today I won’t be angry. Today I won’t snap. Today I won’t cry. Today I won’t shirk. Today I will be productive and not let anxiety destroy my work ethic or my relationships. Today I will let bygones be bygones, and eventually bygones will actually be bygones and I’ll have let them go with practice.
Usually, if I’m emotionally drained, this is all easier, weirdly enough. And I’m a little drained, not going to lie. I haven’t really been given a rest yet.
Or if I can pour a little of it out, I can deal with all of it easier. It doesn’t threaten to tip over.
To accomplish that, I’m going to make a list of things I get to do if I do what I need to do.
I can:
- Find an interesting article and write about it
- Write a poem
- Work on a composition
- Play videogames
- Catch up on Youtube videos
- Play The Sims/maybe download Sims 4
- Go to the library and check out books
- Fiddle with my phone
if I first:
- Finish my schoolwork
- Consumer Behavior, then Marketing Consulting, then International Business, then Politics and Literature
- Finish polishing my resume and apply to the places I wanted to apply to
- E-mail a company about a misunderstanding
Okay. I can do this.

Odoro Perfume Review
http://odoroperfume.storenvy.com
Odoro is a new perfume company based in Columbus, Ohio. They reached out to /r/fragrance on Reddit a few weeks back and I decided to take the initiative and try them out, and I was not disappointed.
I only purchased three samples, but they actually sent me six in total. Thanks guys, I really appreciate it and the extra scents are lovely and fun 😀
Vanille Lune: Right out of the bottle it smells like a sweet floral vanilla, very tasty. It’s very subtle on my skin, but the vanilla obviously puts its foot forward immediately, followed by a rich buttery caramel, and what seems to me like a touch of lavender. Very, very pretty.
Jacinthe de Bois: Out of the bottle I get an almost coconut-like creaminess. On my skin it ripens to a honeysuckle-honeydew combination, and actually reminds me of an interesting macaron I had once that was flavored with violet with banana buttercream.
