An eyelash curler that’ll make your eyelashes curl.
March 26, 2008
As I said last week, I do not have long, luxurious eyelashes. They are more short, convenient eyelashes. I mean, they keep foreign objects out like they are supposed to, but fancy they aren't.

March 20, 2008
I went to take a shower this morning, knowing in the back of my mind that my body wash had been turned upside down for several days now. Being the eternal optimist that I am, I knew I could squeeze one more wash worth out of it or, if necessary, I could pry the top off and stick my finger in … [Read more...]

March 14, 2008
I have recently discovered a new way to keep your face looking young and fresh!
