Don't Buy Sucky Products
I bought something at Sephora for the first time a few weeks ago with a gift card from Christmas. And it's kind of awesome because as expensive as their stuff is, you can try all of it for free. I know drugstore stuff is cheaper, but if you buy the wrong things and can't return them after trying them, you might spend the same amount of money trying to find good stuff. The drugstore has great stuff, but it's really tricky. I needed a new foundation after running out of Almay's TLC one (which is okay, and in February it's color is totally wrong for me but I didn't care) and was in search of a new one. I didn't see the need to buy fancy foundation, so I researched a little and hear that Maybelline Dream Matte mousse worked well for oily people like myself. So I got it in the second lightest shade because I'm pale in the winter...
And this stuff is gross and completely the wrong color and still makes me oily and broke me out and doesn't blend well at all. Do not buy this. I wasted $10 on this junk.
The Revlon Colorstay is working out really well as its replacement. I bought the lightest shade for oily skin (I was kind of bummed I was the lightest shade--skin vanity!). It smells not so great, but the color is right for me and it feels so much better on the skin. We'll see how long it lasts at my formal tonight!

WTF? I'm hooked.
As disturbing as Lady GaGa's music video for her song "Telephone," I have to say it's quite addictive. Her songs are like, the definition of pop--super catchy and utterly attractive in the multi-media format. I haven't seen a music video this...immense...since Britney Spears, probably. And before that, may I dare to compare her videos to Michael Jackson. Maybe you don't agree, but let's face it--nobody can do what Lady GaGa dares to do. It creates conclict revolution, forcing tension to create something different. Michael and Britney weren't always depicted as wonderful 100% of the time, were they? That's what made them interesting. I have this odd form of respect for her.
As for the video itself, yes it gets a little vulgar. A LOT vulgar. She went super over the line. It was a risk. Is that good to run around in undies? No. But I always try to find a reason something was done, what te story behind it was. The behind the scenes video helped. But I have to say, the clothing and makeup choice [when there was clothing] was pretty outstanding. The cigarette glasses? They left me dumbstruck. No one else could have done that. And I loved the group dancework. It was tight like a pair of skinny jeans, my friends. The song is pretty normal for her genre, catchy as always.
But you get addicted real fast.
I have a feeling Lady Gaga's fame isn't over yet.
God, she looks like Madonna something awful.

Why crafting communities suck.
Let's be frank.
I love BurdaStyle. I think that the support and resources it gives is awesome. I love the praise it gives, to be honest; I just love compliments.
But I have found other crafting sites that are far less constructive and have gotten to the point of being downright mean and awful. Totally not the point of a "community," right? Par example, I would never mention any names, but to be introduced to Burda I had to find a site that starts with a T and ends in headbanger.com. For a while, all was swell. The video hosts were creative and thrift, the home decor projects seemed doable for the crafty among us, I even was featured on a weekly video with my famed plaid coat.
Apparently, people didn't understand the fact that I had personality OR that I was wearing shorts, and many proceeded to post nasty comments about my "obvious" drug use and that I was, in fact, bottomless.
Who does that?! I've always been a fan of keeping negative stuff to myself, but that really cut to the core. I was so proud of that coat and people who I'd never even met before made me feel terrible about myself. Besides, if they knew me they'd realize that drug addicts do not have such an extended vocabulary. So I stopped using that site. A community ain't sposed to be a place for criticism of people you don't know, especially a crafting community where there's a lot of black sheep trying to find a place to fit in. I suppose since Burda is sewing exclusive, I feel in better company, but I tell you: don't subject your passion to such criticism! Find a place--make a place where you belong.
Now that crafting site is kinda waning in interest--and I laugh at its demise! (How terrible of me to say...no offense to the creators or employees of said site, it's the community I'm laughing at.) Who'd of thought I could get nasty? But they deserve it.
Make a change, my friends!
Wow, did that feel good.
