valentines.

every year, i make the effort of driving to riverside to give my mom and aunts some valentine's flowers. this is because the men in our family lack affection in that sort of way. plus, i truly admire and respect these women. 

first order of business upon arrival. DQ. vanilla dipped in cherry. BEST. but of course per typical riverside fashion, whether it's seeing someone from high school or a homeless man eating popcorn or a fat lady with a shirt that says, "you know the 'side, world fucking wide", you're always going to see something stupid. this time i took a photo. look at that great parking job. 

for valentine's dinner, simon made sauteed asparagus, shrimp cocktail, filet mignon (JUICYYYY), lobster and a bottle of dom perignon (FANCY). then we took a picture of our fat faces to commemorate our love.

simon forgot to buy chocolate. which i gave him shit for. not bc it's valentine's day, but bc i'm on my period.

happy dogs.

weekly obsessions.

1. kniepp's spruce & pine warmth & energy bath: ever been tempted to bathe in pine sol? 

2. labello strawberry fruity shine lip balm: smells so good. 

weekly obsessions + my moonface.

1. clarisonic mia 2: i know i previously introduced you to my new best friend, the clarisonic classic, but i don't have any allegiance to friends. meet my new new best friend, the mia 2. i recommend this one over the classic. it's better suited for travel, as far as size goes and it also comes with a case, which is handy. it also has two speeds instead of one like the classic AND it's also $50 cheaper. 

2. anastasia brow powder duo in medium ash: i just recently started filling in my brows. i never had any naturally so, i just kind of left it at that. kind of like my boobs. 

3. bobbi brown cream eyeshadow: i can't find a link for this, maybe discontinued? it's my version of the nars multiple or madina shine stick. it's a highlighter i just dab on under the brow, down the nose, corners of eyes and above the cupid's bow. it's pretty nifty. 

4. revlon super lustrous lip gloss in coral reef: definitely on my list of drugstore must haves. moisturizing with great consistency. great color to use day or night. 

i ate two hot dogs today. i love hot dogs.

queen visits the goats.

this was behind my parents house. my future home will most definitely have a large backyard to accommodate whippets, rescued greyhounds and goats. and lots of fruit trees. basically, i want a farm. 

lacma.

 finally got myself a lacma membership. which i am excited about because now my lazy ass has an incentive to go more often. and i really like lacma, i can never get tired of it. anyways, this time jess and i went specifically to see the rodarte collection. i have to say, i was pretty disappointed. the dresses looked really cheap and shoddy. it almost looked... windsor-y. 

anyways, we walked around for a bit. in the typical ignorant fashion, all i could do was look at the art with the perspective of "how would this look in my estate... and if my face was all over it". and then i got giddy about the idea of having a 10 foot painting of myself in a victorian garb/backdrop. or better yet, a renaissance-era painting of cherubs and all the faces would be mine. 

then i started to think about how being art student is like being taught to be label whore. and i got angry about how art is bullshit. and then i saw a painting with greyhounds in it. 

clarisonic.

meet my new best friend.
