Bling

This is a giant black-and-gold oversized Samantha Wills Trinket Ring. The Australian designer sells upscale jewelry that you can wear at a casual occasion. So make no mistake: the COST is nowhere near trinket-size; it's $69.50. It's real gold and filagree-encrusted, whatever that means! It has black crystals, too, and even comes up with a vintage band that's adjustable and decorated (see title link).

The Veronicas

Check out this new track by The Veronicas called "This Is How It Feels." You can download it for free (see title link) by entering the code word "jasmine". Awesome for a girls-night-out.

Burrito Taste Master!?

Funny website...do you think you could be a professional Burrito Taste Master (see title link)?

Jill!

My second post about Sgt. Jill Stevens, a member of the National Guard who was deployed to Afghanistan in 2004. She worked with children in schools and was a medic. Now she wants to set up adoption services. We should all be inspired by Jill and strive to have her courage and integrity (see title link).

haha...

Possibly the stupidest way to spend money that I have ever seen...
Club 28282, the mobile service that sells wallpapers and ringtones, has a Love Test that reportedly predicts your love future (see title link). It charges you $2.99 for each "prediction" as well. Seriously, who falls for this stuff?

GuysTalk

Here's a great site where you can get perspectives from that opposite gender (see title link). They want to prove to YOU that they'd make better boyfriends than the Jonas Brothers...

To Infinity...and Beyond!

Awkward topic! I just found Always Infinity, which advertised that each pad can hold 10x its weight! Interesting way to put it, huh? The wings in the Heavy variety help it to stay in place and it is definitely contoured to your body. Plus, they're designed wider in the back and, according to the ad, have a great Infinicel core, whatever that means (see title link).

Happy Friday the 13th, everyone.

Fitness!

This Valentine's Day, make a promise to love YOURSELF by staying fit and working out (see title link). 20 minutes a day is all you need.
I better go and take my own advice! Ta ta for now!

Pins

New, affordable to change up your look. Use colorful bobby pins to pull back your hair in a pretty half-up. They hold stronger if crossed over in an X-shape. I found these cute blue ones from Ricky's NYC called Rubber Bobby Pins. For $5 you get ten, meaning you can twist and hold back you hair any way that works for you (see title link). They hold better than metal ones because of their elasticity, too.

Urban Decay!

So I used to be completely against eyeliner. I wear contacts and believe that wearing makeup directly above and below your eyeballs is a little dangerous and completely unnecessary. I still believe that the best bet is to stay away from it when you're wearing contact lenses. But if a special occasion happens to ensue and you want to dress your lids up a little, try a funky shade of liner, at least, like navy blue. I've had this Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil for months in my makeup drawer and never really used it, so I figured I'd try. It's the Deviant shade (see title link), and I just lined my outer corners with it and smudged it a bit with my fingers so it didn't get too close to the interior of the eye. It definitely made them look subtly different without making me look like I was trying too hard. It's waterproof and creamy-feeling, too, so you don't feel any sharp points when applying. 50% of the product consists of moisturizing components like Vitamin E and Jojoba and Cottonseed oils, your skin truly feels conditioned, as its website describes.
The only catch? One pencil costs $16. But it's pretty long and lasts for a while, so weigh the risks vs. benefits yourself.
