  after a humiliating and unsuccessful trip to the mall in search for an ideal bra, one would assume that attempting a new makeup look might just give me another blow to my already shaken confidence. this was actually not the case, and i found a look i plan to perfect (possibly by the time i walk down the aisle?). below is a makeup tutorial i found on tiktok, and it was truly effortless. final result - not sure if pic does justice? still super satisfied with first attempt since our return from cro, sib and i have been mindful at the thrift. our goal was to get a cute patio lounge set (couch or chair set with coffee table), alongside our current regular table and chairs. in our search we ended up snagging a beautiful english tea time looking wicker set in white, a total of 5 items in the set for $170. unbelievably good condition, price is wonderful in comparison to at home's $2,000, or walmart's $500 slinky chairs. we resisted, for the most part, temptation to look for stuff we ...

  what i'm reading... we're back on the agenda with the magic years  about rock and roll. listening to and reading about americana in this heat makes me feel like i'm somewhere in-between woodstock and the grapes of wrath. what i'm watching... heartbroken, yet proud after watching the croatia - portugal  world cup game. an intense second half of the game almost costed my voice due to screams of joy for goals that ended up getting recalled. well, this is the last you'll hear me talk about soccer  until 2030. what i'm listening to... here's some june top 10 saved songs  to spice up your summer: soul bossa nova - quincy jones je ne veux pas rentrer chez moi seule (version 1983) - agathe & regrets paris (aeroplane remix) - friendly fires hate that i made you love me - ariana grande tastes so good - niall horan i'm a nobody - talvé bring your love - madonna, sabrina carpenter sedmo nebo - nemanja mercedes - butrint imeri   (side note: check out my future ...

  this sweltering heat got me in such a sluggish state, you may find me laying in my room on the floor, directly under the blast of my window unit, scrolling through every app imaginable, phone overheating, clothes sticking to me, and any movement causes my head to sweat. should i just shave my head bald at this point? nah, because if i step into the sun, my scalp would get a 3rd degree burn. in later hours, when the mirage of locust and western harmonica sounds die down, i am actually able to hear my thoughts, and type up a blog entry.  back to work this week, and i've been excitedly flashing my ring to any person in my vicinity, to anyone who dared to ask, "how was your vacation?". beside riding the post-vacay, post-engagement wave, i am also feeling (somewhat) patriotic. world cup watch parties in bars and fearing ronaldo's lifeless botox filled face, and fourth of july parties even though we're living under surveillance and a literally shitty president (have y...
