The Daily Something

Sooo I'm sick right now and I want to watch movie trailers... soooo... thats what is going to happen right now. 1) The Fault in Our Stars- This is based on a book that I'm not sure I wanted to read... but I watched the trailer and it looks cute. I'm not that into love stories, and this one looks super sad. I'm sure the book is great and that the movie will be great as well. It doesn't look like a sappy-overly tragic love story. It actually looks like a love story that happens to have tragedy in it. I feel like Nicholas Sparks and romance movies like Remember Me exploit tragic events in order to create feels for people that really aren't there. This doesn't look like that. I think I may want to ease my way into John Green before reading this though, he looks like he has a lot of great books that I'd like to read other than this. 2) The Maze Runner- This one I actually did read and I'm super excited about. Out of all the dystopian societies, this o...

Sooo I think I'm going to do this new thing where any time there's some crazy viral video or some really bad song or something overall offensive... I'm going to watch it and count all the things that are wrong with it! This week will be the now infamous Hello Kitty by Avril Lavine. 1) The beat at the beginning kind of sounds like some sort of doomsday thing. 2) I don't think Avril knows Japanese... she should have made a French song... at least like Flight of the Conchords Foux du Fafa. 3) She's a grown woman... she can have a sleepover without mom's permission. 4) Also... why is she having a sleepover? Again see grown woman argument. 5) I don't know what she's doing to those poor background dancers, other than offending their entire culture and it seems like she is forcing them to dance against their will... possibly without being paid in real money. 6) The lyrics "like a fat kid with a pack of smarties" confuses me greatly. Smarti...

Heyyy guys. I'm sick right now... not sure when I'm going to be posting this, but as of right now I have a fever, sore throat and I can't stop sniffling and sneezing... so here are some of my "sick day essentials." First off I like to have warm pajamas, cooler pajamas and blankets and robes like everywhere. This helps me a lot because I've been getting super cold at some points and then I've been overheating and its just been good to have an easy change of pajamas to fix that. Ain't nobody got time for jeans or real clothes, so the pajama switch is ideal. Next you're going to need a puppy or a cat or some sort of animal. This is optional but seriously puppies are twice as adorable and funny when you can barely think. Everything my dog Spencer has been doing today is absolutely adorable. I also recommend cold drinks if you have a sore throat. I like Milkshakes, there is this place called Cheeburger Cheeburger that has the most delicious milksh...

1) Tila Tequila is a Baby Mama- Former Famous Person Tila Tequila from the MTV bisexual reality show "A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila" announced that she is pregnant and started a new mommy twitter account. She hasn't been in the news a lot recently because she was laying low from a lot of things... I think she was engaged to some girl that died, she said something really offensive about sympathizing with Hitler (also why are we listening to someone named Tila Tequila about history?) and she went to rehab as well (why do we let people named Tila Tequila into rehab? Why do we let Tila Tequila exist?) Anyway, I'm sure once the baby is born we'll all go "ohhh yeah that's that girl from that show" and then go back on with our lives until the next time she is briefly mentioned in news... I know she's been through a lot and I probably shouldn't make fun of her... but its hard to take someone named Tila Tequila seriously. Also her last name is Te...

Sooo I listen to a podcast called Who Charted where the hosts talk about different music and movie charts and they try to get to know their guests based on those charts... I'm gonna do a little something like that too. I love pop culture and I think this is a cool concept and stuff... so here it is. Itunes  5) Play it again by Luke Bryan- I don't think I know this song or who Luke Bryan is... I'm actually going to look that up so that I can comment on it more...  Ohhh okay its that one country song. Well okay I don't think I've ever heard it... but all popular country songs are all the same right now... so yeah. Just a generic pop-country song. It's catchy... but I don't see how it's "top 5" worthy. I don't think its good enough for millions of people to listen to all the time. I don't download a lot of single songs because I know I'm not going to listen to just one song. I'm more likely to listen to a song if its on an a...

So you guys probably know how to take showers already, but I shower differently, and this is what makes me feel really lovely and relaxed. So lately when I get in the shower I start by using conditioner in my hair. What???! That's Cray!!!! Yes it does seem cray, but Tati on YouTube recommended it, and I do think it works somewhat. I use the Aussie 3 Minute Miracle, sometimes I use the Loreal total repair moisture conditioner, sometimes I like to use the Loreal total repair 5 hair mask... It varies. But last time I showered I used the three minute miracle which smells fantastic and I love. So I usually put this in my hair and then tie it back and do other showerly things. So then I wash my body. I've been using the Ulta Shower Smoothie in the strawberries and champagne scent. I like these a lot. They have a lot of product in them, they smell good, they work and get you cleaned. And then after that it's usually about 3 minutes so I wash out the conditioner and comb my h...

Sooo a few days ago I decided why not go to the mall and then I saw things to buy and I was like "why not buy those things" so I did just that. So first I went to CVS and they had a deal on physicians formula that I was really looking at... But physicians formula is quite expensive, and a lot of it is really really small. The packaging for their CC creams I thought would be much bigger, but they aren't all that much bigger than the Rimmel Foundation I use and it's like $17 at Cvs... So I was like nahhhh I'll pass on that. But I did not pass on the NYC stuff. So I'm slowly trying to get more into bronzers and stuff, and I thought NYC's Sunny Bronzer would be a good start to that. It's only a few dollars and everyone raves about it. It's so nice and light and I have to say I love the packaging. A lot of the NYC packaging is pretty cheap, the tops of their expert last lipsticks, which I love- fall off all the time. This one is hard to open, so I g...

Heyyy guys I was going to do a woman crush Wednesday on Amy Schumer today... But I went out last night and I had a lot of fun and it was somewhat adventurous... So I figured I would share it. This is a woman crush Wednesday on my friends Cristina and Regan in a way because they are amazing and fun and woman crush-able. So my Tuesday started off a little crazy to begin with. I had a paper due that morning and I had only started it at 9:00 the night before... But I actually really like writing papers that way. I think it's kind of fun and therapeutic to wait until the very last minute and staying up all night to finish it. That might just be me being crazy, but Idk I feel like I write really well when I do that and I'm always proud of myself after. And I oddly enough really like writing about history. I'm an English major, so when I get to write about something other than English, it's always fun to me! So after I did that I decided to reward myself by going to the ma...

Sooo Influenster has challenged me to create a "London Look" using the Rimmel Stay Matte Primer... And I'm gonna go ahead and actually use mostly Rimmel products for this look! This isn't really going to be a huge "whole face of make up" look because I'm going with a bolder lip, but I still think it's a cool trendy somewhat London-ish look. I was actually thinking of doing a smokey eye with really bright lips and cheeks because I've been to London and in the summer at least they had a lot of overcast grey skies, but it pretty much always got really nice and pretty at some point during the day. I like that idea a lot still, but in the spring... It's allergy season, and  sometimes it's nice to take a break from using a lot of shadows and just do very minimum eye make up. So first off, I'm going to prime my face. I'm using the Maybeline Baby skin because I don't have any Rimmel primers, but I have heard great things about a...

1) iPad mini- sooo my wifi in my dorm just broke recently and I've been using my iPad for all of my internet uses because I just use the 3G. And I love it. It's easy to take anywhere, I can literally do anything on my iPad and I just have a lot of fun using it. Sometimes I get a crappy signal or whatever, but overall do love! I'm not telling you to go out and spend a lot of money on this thing just cause I love it, I'm just saying if you were thinking of getting it, get it! It's good! 2) Broad City- I watched the first episode of this and loved it but then I kind of stopped. But Comedy Central has a new app that I just got for my iPad and it has every episode on... So I started watching it again and became re-obsessed. It's so fantastic. If you are a girl in your 20s and you're broke... This is a show for you. It's not like me, but it is like me at the same time. I love it and will probably watch a lot more. The stars of the show, I've never heard ...

Sooo this is kind of random... but I like taking selfies and I like wearing make up... so this is a week of different make up looks, hair looks... accessories and all sorts of whatnots... so I thought I'd take a picture of my face every day for a week and tell you what I used... why I used it, what I did that day if anything... and any tips or anything that I have for using the product. I just bought a bunch of new products and I thought this is a good way to test out the new stuff... use the old stuff and see what works. Sooo... yeah. Let's do this! Monday  Today I realized how hard it is to actually take a decent selfie... So I think I almost did. I'll post them both here. Products I used  First I primed my face with Maybeline Babyskin primer then I applied my rimmel stay matte foundation. I apply those both the same way because I feel like that's easier. Plus a little bit of both of these products goes a long way. I dab on both cheeks, nose, forehead, and chi...

1) The MTV movie awards happened- There aren't enough award shows for the 18-25 demographic I guess, so MTV has an award show too. I don't watch them, but from what I gather The Hunger Games won best movie, Channing Tatum showed up late and won something called the trailblazer award and I think on the prompter there was a picture of a dick or something. Zac Effrontery was Travolta-Ed someone pronounced his name wrong. And Conan O'brien hosted. Cool things. 2) The Purple Wedding- I'm not really going to spoil anything here... I mean it's a Game Of Thrones wedding, we should all know how those turn out by now. I haven't watched GOT in a few years I think I might read the first book and then watch the last couple seasons to get back on track with it because there is a death that will delight everyone watching. I want to see that happen. 3) Michael Phelps out of Retirement- I feel like he was jealous of Ryan Lochte and that's why he went into retirement... N...

Sooo this is a warning against being nice and signing up for cards at stores you don't go to because they tend to charge you! In October I was at the mall and I bought a couple of DVDs at the store FYE and the girl there talked me into signing up for their card. She said it would be free to start and that you could cancel the card within the next few days blah blah blah you get a big discount on today's purchase. I mean the girl wasn't really nice about it, she was kind of pushy in fact but I felt bad. I've been there before, I know how much pressure stores put on you for signing up for their cards and things, so I figured why not. I never shop at FYE, so I'll just cancel it when they send me the email. No problem. They never sent me an email to cancel it. So I never did. And it recently started charging me $12 a month for this stupid thing. There is no option to cancel it on their website, so I have to call the number on the card to get customer service where I...

Do I need more stuff? Yes, yes I do. So I felt like buying some make up recently and I had a 15 percent off sephora coupon so I thought "what the hell" and went to the mall. I had no idea what I wanted at sephora because honestly there is sooo much new stuff and it all looks pretty and gorgeous and I want it all basically. And honestly I was super SUPER close to buying the two faced chocolate bar palette... But I have a lot of eye palettes I didn't think I would use it right now and I want it someday but it isn't a big need in my life right now. But I did want to try a higher-end blush because all I have are drugstore blushes and they all kind of look the same. So I got their Microsmooth Baked Blush duo in Guava Glow... And it is a bit dark and orangey and out of my comfort zone... But it's still gorgeous and the formula is great so I'm really happy with it and will definitely put it to good use. I had also been eyeing some of the new colors in the Sti...

Sooo i was super excited about this show and for good reason. It's got the funniest cast in the world... Written and Directed by Mike Judge who I'm obsessed with.. So yeah this was all good stuffs. Now I have to say... There was a lot of technical nerd jargon I didn't understand. It's not that it wasn't funny, it just wasn't LOL every moment. I was kind of expecting lots of LOL, and there was a lot of LOL, but it wasn't overwhelming. It wasn't quite Office Space... But it wasn't far from it. I also totally thought that Kumail Nanjiani was the lead and I was surprised he wasn't. I think the show is slightly better that way because I think he adds a lot of funny moments. He's great, there are a lot of people that are UCB on it and I think that they were all super SUPER funny together. All great. Like I said, they cast the funniest people on the show which is great. It's a genuinely good story and I'm looking forward to watching ot...

So I've done these before, if you haven't read them, its just reviews of movies that are on netflix, on demand or just older movies that you might have seen, but you might not... and you might be looking for something new to watch on Netflix or whatever, so here are just my opinions. 1) Bad Milo- This movie is about a man that has a polyp in his butt due to stress and the polyp becomes a monster that kills anyone that is stressing him out. I was super excited for this because it stars Ken Marino -who is awesome and funny-and Gillian Jacobs- who is awesome and funny and from Community. It was produced by the Duplass brothers who are also two of my favorite people so that just creates an awesome sandwich and this movie DID NOT DISAPPOINT! It was really funny to me at least... idk if its for everyone but I love a good horror comedy and this one was amazing. I'm kind of obsessed with bad movies and it seems like the writer and director of this movie was too... there were a lo...

Hello... so I have been trying to change my hair products a little bit. I didn't have my Ouidad stuff on me, so I reached for my tiny 2.99 Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Sea Salt Spray... and I loved the way it made my hair look... so I got the texturizing cream and the full size of the spray and I will put it to the test right now. First off... It gives directions! Always super helpful especially if you don't know how to use something. Basically you use the cream on damp hair, either after taking a shower or after using the spray and then you scrunch it. I used it after a shower and I used the spray right afterwards. I just sprayed the spray, scrunched it a little, teased it a little and then combed through with my wide tooth-ed Ouidad comb and I took a little bit of my L'Oreal Total Repair 5 Dry oil and sprayed that and rubbed it through, just to give my hair a bit more moisture. My hair hasn't totally dried yet, but so far I like the way it looks and feels so far...

I  can't believe I haven't posted this yet... but guys I love Stephen Colbert. He is my favorite late night talk show host, I absolutely love his satire, I think he's a really good person that deserves good things and I cannot wait to see him host The Late Show. I'm definitely going to miss The Colbert Report. It is definitely my favorite late night talk show, I always look forward to watching The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, and @ Midnight, I've been doing that a lot lately and I just really love it. I really love that he has his own character that can say and do sooo many ridiculous things and I really don't think that anyone can do a satire the way that Colbert does. He really is the best. I also have to say that I love the way that Stephen defended himself after the Cancel Colbert controversy. He handled it really well, he didn't apologize, he said not to attack the girl. He pointed out the truth that was ridiculous about the original report that ...

1) Mickey Rooney dies at 93- This is sad. I didn't know his movies or anything all that well... but he's done some cameo appearances in the past few years that have made me laugh a lot! When the original Night at the Museum movie came out there was a line in the trailer that he said to Ben Stiller "He looks like a weirdy" and it just made me laugh a ridiculous amount. There are a few moments in movies that have really made me laugh... mostly from movies I saw in high school oddly enough. It was just a funny delivery and a funny line. He was filming 2 other movies according to IMDB, Night at the Museum 3 and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.  Both movies I'll probably see. 2 ) Nursing Home Strippers- This is one of my favorite news stories that has ever happened. Apparently there is a lawsuit against a nursing home because they hired strippers to come in and entertain the elderly people in the nursing home. Nothing bad happened... the one woman one the news that I want to...

Sooo I'm not a huge expert on this subject, but these are just some random tips that I have noticed over time/ some things I like to do/ things that people seem to like. I just thought these things were worth mentioning. 1)Don't throw out the spongetip applicator!!!- I think this an important part of a drugstore eyeshadow palette. There are a lot of drugstore shadows that don't have the same pigmentation or application as a higher end shadow does... so a Brush really won't do you any good for applying them. I just bought this NYC shadow collection and I really like the colors, but they aren't super pigmented when applied with a brush. They seem a bit easier to use with a spongetip applicator. Also those little brushes that come with blushes sometimes probably make contouring and highlighting easy. I don't do that all that much... but thats what I have heard. Everything comes with a palette for a reason and its part of what you're paying for, so you might a...
