All Work and No Play Makes Me Something, Something...
The Shining

So, we've made it to the other side of 2016, HELLO 2017!!! You do know what that means, though, right? No more days off until March! Boo! Hiss! The holiday vacation came and went with nary a breath to savor, and now here we are with nothing to look forward to for three bleak months.

So, what can you do when it never feels like you get a day off? Enjoy the small things! Take a second out to appreciate the stuff in your life. Here are a few things I plan on getting at least a little bit of enjoyment out of in between dragging myself back and forth between obligations.

NXY's Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick Vault.

OMG, this is like the best lip color I have ever tried bar none. Because I go big or go home I got the vault with 24 shades. Sure at $50, it's a bit spendy, but you get a fucking RAINBOW of colors. Funky colors like sky blue, gray, or neon orange that you've always wanted to try, but couldn't quite justify buying if you had to buy a whole tube. Plus it's supplemented with enough neutral, everyday colors that you really will get a lot of use out of it. Also, the formula is well known Kylie Lip Kit dupe for a mere fraction of the cost.

Lush Bath Bombs

Bath bombs, are the, er , uh bomb? And, yeah I know, I know... a bath! How freaking exciting, right? Sure, they may not be bungee jumping exciting, but baths are great, made even greater with the addition of a bath bomb. Just drop one in a tub full of water and watch as it zooms and fizzes around, emitting super jazzy scents, all the while turning the water some funky ass shade! Also, the science behind the whole bath bomb is basically a skin-friendly version of the baking soda/vinegar volcano (replacing the vinegar with citric acid) you made in second grade, making it not only good for your skin but good for your brain as well! SCIENCE!

Mermaid Leggings

Remember when I said I was never going to buy leggings again? BIG SURPRISE!!! I lied. They are super glittery, glam cute (not to be worn in the tub with a bath bomb though) and I got them super cheap off of Amazon ( like eight bucks.) Caveat! You get what you pay for, and what these makeup for in cuteness, they are obviously lacking in the quality department. They have a rough texture, but hell maybe it's just scales!

Well, it's time to back to the grindstone, I guess. Heigh-ho! Heigh-ho!
