If you wanna hit Sephora together, let me know.

Yes, please! Is there one downtown? Maybe we could drag Amyth with us tomorrow evening... Or just go to one out here on Sunday, if you aren't busy.

And yay for CJ! I bet he'll have a blast.

The one thing I've nearly given up on is lipstick.

Every so often I'll buy some and then within a few days I'll give it away to my co-worker that loves make-up. She also loves that the shades I pick always seem to look great on her.

For the record, the monistat anti-chafing gel really does work as well as the Smashbox primer. Plus it cost less than half.

I have seen the sand cats at Cincinnati Zoo. They are indeed adorable.

REPRESENT!

You could ALSO, just as a suggestion, try to hit up a grocery store that has Graeter's....

I don't suppose there's a Shiseido nearby, Liese?

Japanese makeup company seems like it might be a good place to start.

As soon as I can have sugar again, Graeter's pumpkin ice cream is definitely On The List. The good list.

The Black Honey balm/gloss that comes in a tube, ita? it is like unto god.

Liese, I found tips here: [link] [link]

They seem pretty upfront and practical. I hope I'm being useful and not a jerk.

Nicole - there is not a Sephora downtown, but maybe we can hit Park Meadows Sunday after a cruise through the Farmer's Market (didn't go last week and I feel like I missed out).

Teppy - I know I have seen Graeters at our King Soopers before, but I haven't looked recently. Kinda afraid to look for the pumpkin flavor cause if one carton is good, two have to be better. Right?

Two will CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

I don't know about the UK, but the traditional thesis in France is not equivalent to what you have to produce here, i.e., essentially a book that will be published 4-5 years after defense.

My college Lit professor's husband apparently wrote a definitive book on Mythology (never found out which one) and turned in the published book as his thesis.

Woah (srsly). Cute guy just asked me where the dumpster was. Shame he's not bright enough to find it on his own, because it's not exactly hidden.

Cute and dumb? In that combination dumb's a feature, not a bug!

I dunno. I kinda feel like anything that says "exotic" is a red flag. I guess this is where the line gets drawn, because everyone is trying to adhere to a standard of beauty that is not them, and therefore is trying to make their eyes look bigger or smaller or whatever. It's just that for me, the act of trying to achieve those things is effectively reducing ethnic characteristic traits. Which I don't know if I want to do, you know?
