WhyDid Wisdom: Cut It Out

By |December 3rd, 2010|WhyDid Wisdom|

Today while Skyping with one of my besties in New York, we giggled about how at times, I go ahead and take the next exit to CrazyTown. That sometimes, I can be completely melodramatic. And quite honestly, I’m an emotional cutter.

This actually isn’t funny and I’m not like Demi Lovato cutting. I do not inflict physical harm on myself, but I do tend to enjoy inflicting emotional pain on myself. For some reason I like to see things that are going to hurt my feelings. I can’t explain it, but I find myself doing things that I know ahead of time are going to hurt me.  I’ve mentioned before that I have crazy P.I. skills and at times those can be really helpful, but at other times they can be totally detrimental to my mental well being.

Why on earth do I need to see that Twitpic? Why would I want to read something mean someone said about me? Why do I want to read blogs that totally rip me off? All very good questions. It’s almost like I enjoy feeling the pain. And don’t you worry. I’m not selfish with my pain. I like to share it with those around me.

It’s like when you have a cut in your mouth and you keep sticking your tongue in it.  Perhaps I’m a masochist. Maybe I’m self destructive. One thing’s for certain, I’m fully aware of my problem. That is again, a blessing and a curse. I’m happy to be well aware of my self abusive behavior, however, being aware of such makes me become responsible for myself.  So, the other day, I started taking steps forward in “cutting” this self cutting habit from my life. I started deleting toxic people from my life.

If you find yourself participating in this same behavior, ask yourself, “why?”  Is it that hard to just be happy?

Beauty Buzz: So Fresh and So Clean

By |December 2nd, 2010|Beauty Buzz|

Everyone wants clean, clear, smooth skin. I mean, I don’t know anyone who doesn’t. Except maybe my dog. However, we don’t always have the time or the resources to get to the spa for a facial every single month.  However, this is no excuse to abandon your skincare regimen. I made a How To video about how to make a great at home facial, but if you’re in need of of quick fix, I’ve also got you covered.


Murad Pomegranate Exfoliating Mask, $22.50

I read that this is what a lot of makeup artists use on clients before applying makeup because it really smooths and evens out the skin. I didn’t have particularly high expectations for this mask cause they all tend to just be lies. Lies, I tell you. When I smoothed it on, it was very, very cold and tingly. I left it on for the allotted fifteen minutes and then rinsed my face with a washcloth (it was nearly impossible to try and get it off with my bare hands). After patting my face dry with a towel, I was amazed at how “glowy” my face looked. It really did look clearer, smoother, and brighter. Even my fiance commented on how pretty my skin looked. *Note: after using the mask, it is much easier to extract blemishes (or perform face surgery as my fiance calls it). I definitely, definitely recommend this if your skin needs a little pick me up!

silky, silky now.

Would You Wednesday: Wife Under the Knife

By |December 2nd, 2010|Why Did or Why Don't?|

So, I meant to write about this a while ago… actually as soon as I’d seen the promotional commercial for it. Bridalplasty. What the $*#&? Really?

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, (and I applaud you if that’s the case) Bridalplasty is a show on E! where the contestants are competing not only for  dream wedding worth $100,000, but also a brand new face and body.  I attempted to watch the entire show, but I could only get through a portion. Part of that had to do with the sheer ridiculousness of it all and the other part was my inability to stare at Shanna Moakler’s poorly done yellow hair. (I mean, forget Botox, a good dye job can do wonders).  Anyway, most of the girls on the show are already pretty. There is nothing wrong with them. These are not deformed women who have experienced traumatic accidents and disfigurement. I mean, they’re no Heidi or Giselle’s, but really, who is?

Good lord, women! Did you learn nothing from Heidi Montag? Last I checked, she wants her old face back! I have heard of bridezillas and about girls getting cah-raaaaazy about their weddings, but I think this has taken things a bit (and by a bit I mean quantum leaps) too far. I know every little girl wants to look pretty for her big white wedding, however, getting a whole new appearance just seems sick. Why not just hire a body double?  Life isn’t an episode of Nip/Tuck. Would you go under the knife for your big day?
