One of my favorite movie scenes. If only more men would man up and say that "freedom" and "not settling down" and "living their own life" really means to ALL of them: hooking up with more drunk chicks and waiting for their inevitable supermodel that they all supposedly deserve before they get too old. Avoid adulthood at all costs and you will feel like you had a much fuller life. That's the real fear right? It's not like we don't know it. Simply say: "It's not you, it's my inability to think with my brain and I'm just gonna go with being shallow and self-serving instead". We get that's what you mean. Don't dance around it. We got it, thanks. Don't humor us cause we've had it figured out for years. And when our friends say "You deserve better" we know they mean "I feel sorry for you they wanted to bang other people" or "you wasted time with another immature one, huh?" and we appreciate it cause that's the code of ethics. We know "experience" to most men means maybe a couple trips to the free clinic with a semi-triumphant but semi-gross feeling and getting drunk or high out of their goard multiple times to deal with their own inadequacies. We get the explaining you have to do to your friends and the "manhood" you have to prove to them. But guess what? The only actual MEN are the ones that cruise all past this because they are comfortable with themselves and don't answer to people, just themselves. Predictability is so boring and unoriginality is even worse. Men are missing out on actually being real men. They're avoiding some great things and REAL experiences because they are holding themselves back from real people and relationships. They are missing out on the only people that truly care about them and will wipe their asses for them when they're 90 and can't get off the couch. But blame the female for holding you back, it will make you feel better about yourself I promise. It's never about the right woman for a man because of this. It's only about right timing. They need the proper amount of time to get over themselves and their own ego and then whatever girl is there, she's "the one". That's why most guys get married exactly the same time around the rest of their friends. But they'll deny being impressionable. It's pack mentality. And I think this partly attributes to all the young divorces popping up out there. These boys need to face themselves before letting their sex become more and more simple minded. There are a few exceptions so I won't say "all men" before my married friends start to jump down my throat. But let me stress the emphasis on "few". Don't keep taking evolutionary steps back guys or females will undoubtedly start to run the world.... and that will be a big old mess. Cause that'd be real bad too. Yea I went there.

Music and alcohol seem to be the cure part 2
A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness,
So darkness I became
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
I took the stars from our eyes, and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind

No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight

And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness,

Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
"I'll remember", you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Yeah.
**You know how the time flies
Only yesterday it was the time of our lives**

We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

Don't forget me, I beg
"I'll remember", you said,

Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Beauty Booty: My favorite (buy in bulk) beauty supplies!
$6 Sephora's travel size daily brush cleaner can be sprayed right on make-up brushes (every once in a while, in my opinion you don't need it daily) to keep them clean and fresh which helps you avoid break outs from your brushes. It's a great formula and help the lifespan of your brushes.
$24.99 This Sonia Kashuk makeup brush set is beautiful looking and contains really soft well made make up brushes. You have to buy the bronzer/powder brush separately but that works great too. it even comes with the cute clutch.
I used this years ago and it has lasted! I swear! It's not pretty to apply. Definitely use it on nights you plan on sleeping alone. You paint this goopey paste on your teeth one by one and sleep with it on. It's not too tastey or pleasant looking but the shit works. Better than whitening strips. I think it's worth it.
$39.50 This Patricia Wexler Skin Brightening Daily Moisturizer is my favorite day cream. It's my secret weapon. Say it's been raining and sleeting for 17 days in a row and I've gotten 4 hours of sleep and my skin looks all uneven and tired...and well, you get the point, I look sad and I look like crap. I put this stuff on and it's looks like I just got a facial and am glowing. It's such a good cream. I'm in fear of telling you all about it cause I love it so much but I suppose I'll share. You can get it at Bath and Body Works.
$12 Victoria's Secret Goddess Bronzer is a great deep bronzer you can use to get a really tanned look without looking orange. Don't brush it everywhere, just your forehead, nose, tops of cheeks and jawline.
$8.49 Neutrogena's Hair Mask is the best hair mask I've found. It smells awesome and can completely change the texture of your hair in three minutes. Put it in your hair in the shower after shampooing (not on the roots), do what you gotta do in the shower, then rinse it out. Your hair will be soooo soft.
$4.99 Revlon 12 hour Eyeshadow Quad in Copper Spice is my favorite daytime eyeshadow. I used the lightest shade in my inner corner and on my brow bone. The copper goes in the crease and the darkest brown goes on my outer lid. The medium beige is a good color to use on its own for a natural look.
$4.50 L'Oreal nail polishes work just as well as expensive brands and have a great color selection. I like the coral for my toes.
$4.50 Organic Olive Oil Shampoo is a good break for my hair when it needs a conditioning shampoo. You can find it in the chemically treated hair product aisle of the pharmacy.
$1.99 Milani eyeliner is one of the best I've ever tried. It doesn't tug at my eyelid at all and I don't have to bear down on my eye to use it. It's really really soft and if you layer on a thick line it can even look like liquid liner. Keep it close to the lashline for a natural look. I love soft pencil liners and this ones the best. The price is right too!
$0.84 Coming in at the cheapest (yay!) item on the list, Suave Naturals Coconut Shampoo and Conditioner is my fave. It's recently been made with a longer lasting smell too. It comes in different fragrances but I'm partial to the coconut and so is my hair.
$27.oo This Nars blush in Orgasm (teehee) is expensive but maaaan is it worth it. It will literally look good on everyone and it's so flattering. It looks natural too. Like you have a natural flush from... well, you know...
$24 Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray is the only texturizing spray or beach spray that I have tried and liked. Loved actually. it's the only spray that actually gives your hair that look you get when you're on a Caribbean vacation and you go back from the hotel after a day at the beach and you think "Daaaaaamn, I don't wanna wash my hair, it looks all type of Splash pretty!". You can spare the greasy roots, shampoo, use this spray and you're good to go! It's a good thickener too!
$18 Smashbox lipglosses almost glide on like a lipstick and gloss all at once. They have a very opaque finish like a lipstick but have a great non-sticky sheen like a gloss. By far my favorite gloss ever. I place it over Nars even, which people go crazy for. I'd pick Smashbox any day. Head to Sephora and test it out. It even looks pretty on your hand meat!
$17 Another Body Shop buy, this Eau de Toilette is hella cheap for perfume standards and is a great subtle vanilla scent. It's a scientific fact that men are highly attracted to the scent of vanilla. I'm just sayin.... it's science.
$16 Smashbox eyeshadows are my favorite. They are all pigment and glide on. What you see in the package is what you get, no surprises. They don't crease or get overly glittery. Just a very straightforward beautifil eyeshadow. To make a smokey purple eye look natural is a challenge, but not when using this brand. Your eyes end up looking airbrushed. You can find Smashbox products in Sephora.
$15 This hairspray is expensive but is easy to brush through. It's a Hollywood favorite and has a cool bottle. There's clearly a theme with me and packaging.
$15 This Giovanni Body Scrub is my favorite scrub I've tried. It's smells like hot cocoa, is organic (made of crushed cocoa beans!) and warms while you rub it in. It's almost as comforting as the real thing.... almost...
$15 This is one of my favorite smelling lotions from Bath and Body Works. It's called Tahiti Sweetie from True Blue Spa. I don't think it's at Bath and Body Works anymore but you can get it online. The smell alone is worth it. No perfume needed.
$12 Victoria's Secret Perfect Lipstick has so many great color options. Make sure you get the "Perfect" type and not the other because the other type is too frosty and glittery while this line of colored is more natural and expensive looking. They have good nudes as well as good reds too! Feels luxurious going on and actually lasts. I'm also a sucker for the VS packaging.
$13 Honey Bronze Lip Gloss. I came across this after receiving a gift card to The Body Shop. It's a really highly pigmented lip gloss that is realllly conditioning on your lips and smells great. It comes in a really great coral that will always look great and look skin look more bronzed than it is.
$12. Benefit's Eye Bright is one of my all time favorite products and if they ever discontinue it I may have a fit. You can get it at Sephora. It's a highlighting pencil that counteracts any dark circles. Put a dab on each inner eye and below each brow bone and blend with your finger and it looks like you drank 10 espressos and haven't crashed yet i.e. you look awake and beautiful! Sometimes you don't need any other eye makeup. It's that good. Ask my sister who tries to hoard it every time she visits!
$12.99 Sonia Kashuk's tinted moisturizer in Tan is a great buy. You can get it at Target. The bottle is beautiful but more importantly it's a great dewey warm weather option and makes skin look radiant and healthy without having to layer on bronzing powder.
$8 Milani has great blushes for daytime. They have a variety of soft rosey colors and subtle corals. They blend really well too and don't go on to strong. Milani is at most CVS's on the outer displays.
$8 SG dry shampoo is the only shampoo that doesn't look or feel like baby powder in my hair after I spray it. It truly is invisible (good for us brunettes) and doesn't have a strong smell. My hair can get real greasy real fast and this will save me from shampooing my bangs in the sink after a sleepover. I use it if my hair needs body too. You can find it at most drugstores.
$6 for two pack. I don't use bodywash because it makes me feel like I'm washing with all fragrance for some reason. This makes my skin feel really soft and clean and it's not too smelltastic, which I like in a soap. Layer on the stinky stuff later.
$7 L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara is great for nighttime. It gives your really really full thick lashes and looks really dramatic. It helps amp up a smokey eye or thick liner.
$7 Neutrogena Healthy Volume Mascara is my favorite daytime option. It nourishes lashes and gives them a natural looking fullness and tint. Although the brush isn't curved, it's the closest brush I've found that measures up and replicates that of the Dior mascara that people go crazy for. I've found it gives nearly similar results too. It also washes off really easy. It seems to never clump no matter how many coats you put on.
$7 Maybelline "The Falsies" Mascara is great for day or not because it doesn't overly coat or clump up. Get the curved brush version. Curved brushes for mascara are always better in general because they help guide the lashes into a natural curl. Your lashes won't necessarily look fake but they'll look really long and thick and somehow wispy at the same time.
$6 Vaseline Cocoa Butter is cheap, moisturizing, smells great, and comes in a huge ass bottle. Sold!
$6 L'Oreal eyeshadow duo in Flamboyant is a great night option if you want to change it up. It's oddly flattering on everyone. It's hard to find a decent blendable yellow and this one comes out borderline gold so it's complimentary on everyone! Don't believe me? Look up pics on Bing images on all the different girls that have used it! Try doing the yellow on the inner eye to the middle lid and the purple in the crease and outer lid. Cute!
$5 The Goody Ouchless Brush is my little hair wonder. My hair is fine but tangles and is weak so this bristles in this brush retract further inside the base when it hits a snag so it's won't pull your hair too much. I highly recommend it for those gals that still get snarls like me!
$5 The basic black L'Oreal eyeshadow is great for a smokey eye at nighttime and has a lot of pigment for a pharmacy brand. Use an angled brush to get your bottom lash line and don't be afraid to layer it with brown or bronze shadow either.
$4.92 Rimmel Bronzer is a great cheap option for a bronzer and it's a big portion of product. It's mineral and blends into skin perfectly! Not too orange or too brown.
$4.80 St. Ives Olive Oil Cleanser can be found on amazon.com. I used to get it at CVS but now can't find it anywhere in stores. It's the only thing that balances my skin. If you can't find this one, the Green Tea cleanser can be found anywhere and has many similar ingredients but I think this one is worth the shipping!
$4 Adwali Rosewater. You can buy this at most grocery stores. Some beuaty companies will bottle rosewater and sell it for $60. It's all the same stuff. Put it in a spray bottle of your own and spritz your face with it or use it as a toner with cotton swipes.
