I've used this hand cream on my face before successfully, so maybe I'll give it a go and see.

Also! How do you sharpen your eyeliner pencils? I didn't buy the specialty sharpener because I was all, I have a pencil sharpener. But I swear, I lose half the pencil every time, breaking it off in the cheapie sharpener. But I do that with regular pencils too, so maybe I just have a coordination problem?

Amyth, are the larvae in any of your drains?

Oh yikes, maybe they are! I'll have to test it. I have no idea how this could have gotten this bad. A combo of having tomatoes and bananas, and not taking the compost out for over a week...but STILL. And I don't use the A/C that often, because I'm cold-natured. BUT EVEN STILL.

I'm going to do that Saran wrap thing now, and I may go the pyrethrum spray route. This has got to end. Thanks!

Ooh, good reminder I'd better take out the leavings from my adventures in juicing today. I swear the kitchen looked like mayhem had taken place. But! Hopefully this time tomorrow I will have super awesome canned grape-apple jelly.

Pouring boiling water into the drains seems to help.

Jess, FIRE BAD!!! Yikes! Glad it was a small fire.

Roller derby is the awesomest therapy in the world. I can seriously forget my troubles on the track, work out my frustrations and then have a beer afterward. Stuff just doesn't seem all that bad.

If you've used it before happily, I'd give it a go.

Also! How do you sharpen your eyeliner pencils?

I have cheapie sharpeners and midline sharpeners and I've never splurged for a highline but I haphazardly have them work perfectly or break off. I have no clue. I feel like if my pencils are too cold they shatter and if they are too warm they break blobbily, but I don't know where the Goldilocks temp is for them. I care more now that I have pencils that aren't just Wet n Wild, too. But I don't know. I think it's witchcraft.

Cash, glad derby is good therapy.

I've saran-wrapped my drains, and I'll try pouring boiling water down them in the a.m.

Jeez, I never thought I'd wish for colder weather.

Also! How do you sharpen your eyeliner pencils?

With cheap sharpeners bought at the dollar store, usually.

My go-to mascara for this year has been Make Up Forever Smokey Lash, which gives me the lush drag queen lashes, but lasts through hysterical crying. That, and either MAC LiquidLast liner or NYX Studio liquid liner. NOTE: those two liquid liners are not for the inexperienced. If you've never been good at applying liquid liner, do not try those. However, I love 'em.

Oh, and from way back, I use coconut oil and a hot washcloth to remove my makeup.

Sephora has a cheep sharpener that I love.

Home from my belt test. Four hours of fun. I am so gassed. I've been chugging water, ate a Clif bar, chugged a Gatorade and I'm still cramping. Bleh. But I have my green belt now (after this is another level of green, 3 levels of brown, then black).

Yay, congrats!
