i've raved about star trek before. i went out to see it again last night, and instead of being bowled over by the combined sexiness of chris pine and zach quinto, i was more able to focus on uhura.
zoe sladnana did a fabulous job and has me feeling completely different about the whole winged liquid liner look. in fact, i'm thinking i might run out and get some today. but until then...

recreate the liquid eyeliner look, by applying mascara from the tube with a fine eyeliner brush.

je t'aime and quick tip in one! and the two-for-one doesn't stop there. on top of all that, i've got two questions for you. first up, i'm hoping i'm not the only one here. but...




and second...




i understand if a yes or no answer won't do. feel free to explain in the comments. let's discuss!

so i'm currently trying to think of what i should do with my hair for the wedding tomorrow. i've already got my makeup sorted out but i'm stumped in the hair department. i have to say i am really not a fan of updos, on the whole. you will rarely see my hair in a ponytail or bun. but updos seem to be the norm most times, no? that or curls, and curls and me don't fare so well on hot summer days. another bummer? my hair's shorter now and i have a hard time doing anything other than leaving it down. and on top of that, have to keep it simple because my sister won't be there tomorrow to help me! here's what i'm looking at so far.

luckily, i found how to's for all of these styles. it shouldn't surprise you that there are two hairstyles here with braids in them. jennifer aniston's is simple enough. it's definitely my fall back if i can't come up with anything more creative.

i'm loving zooey deschanel's, and i've even done something like it before. but i'd have to run out for some sort of sparkly broach/pin tomorrow morning. and i think the waves make it a little more fancy, no?

if i'm going to go the updo route it'll definitely be something like jessica alba's. i'm into assymetry. i'm also loving that it looks kinda messy but in all the right ways. i'd probably leave my bangs out though. so...



or maybe you would suggest something else entirely? i open to anything! i'm watching some avatar and dragging my feet about going to work.

best of: may 11-15

(song of the day: irreplacable, beyonce)

so i'm sure i don't have to tell you that things dans mon vie have been absolutely NUTS lately (for more about it, click continue reading). at least i'm finally entering my last week of exams! woohoo! unfortunately, i haven't had as much time to check blogs and things, i've only got five best ofs this week!

ONE. stumbled across this blog called squawkfox, this fun frugal-living blog. and even though this post is super old, i really like what kerry had to say about being the best you.

TWO. check these simple prom makeup how-tos from the daily makeover.

THREE. don't know if you heard, but there's been some buzz lately that archie andrews will finally get down to deciding between betty and veronica. haha. not that i still read the comics, but i'd be interested to know who he picks. (it better be betty!) but i mean, they've promised this before, we'll see how it turns out.

FOUR. collegecandy presents some cool ideas for retooling old jeans.

FIVE. this one's just silly. but i did get a laugh out of other celebrities who're rocking "the kate gosselin." oh photshop. providing endless amusement since 1988.

there's no link for this, but i'm sure everyone's heard that chace crawford is now replacing zac efron in the upcoming footloose remake. i'm kind've against most remakes in the first place, so i'm not sure how i feel about this. what do you think of this? good idea? bad idea?




that's all for me i'm afraid. gotta get back to studying! what was good this week? let me know!




ah yes, my life. i'm the kind of person, that despite the best intentions ends up writing an eight page paper in 36 hours. haha. i'm also the kind of person who'll go out the night before said paper is due, just for fun. haha. i'm so glad linda, saved me from boys night on wednesday. we went to boston pizza and it was awesome, even though i have to say, i really don't like it there all that time. it's cool getting to know people you've known of for a while, but never really KNOWN, and it's even better when you like what you see.

thursday was even more awesome, i finally turned the paper in, i went out for lunch with jenn, and then shopping with vicki and then a girl's night with linda, kristen, and beth! good times. friday was still fun even though i wasn't feeling that well. i was kinda sick all week actually. i lost five pounds not eating, and not by choice! and then i fell and hurt my wrist, cause i'm awesome like that. mm. i'm excited cause there's a barbecue at youth group tonight. haha. i like that i went out more than studied this week. in the coming week though, i'm determined to study for real, cause then i won't have to until september! whoop! wish me luck ♥
