Give Me Back My Five Bucks

Call me crazy, but after all this time … I still miss Casey Serin. I’ve always been pro-Casey, and I followed his story for a really long time. While he made some stupid mistakes in his life (really stupid), I admired him for his openness and undying determination to succeed. Oh well.

Last night I went to the gym with a friend. I paid $42 for a 10x pass. The gym was ridiculously crowded because we went at about 6pm. I generally like going later (maybe around 8pm) when it’s a little less busy – but BF was going to come over later in the evening. So we braved it. I had a decent workout.

I don’t want to rush into buying anything, and I want to do a … Continue reading →

Okay so my skin has been going crazy over the past few months. I was perfectly happy using my Elizabeth Arden Perpetual Moisture face ($49) and eye cream ($39), but after about 1.5 years of using it, my skin started to freak out. So I switched to a line specific to sensitive skin, called Avène. Now, my skin is fine. Except for around my eyes. My skin has been irritated for the last 3 months. The new moisturizer has helped take down the redness, but it’s still itchy. I think it’s either my Elizabeth Arden face wash (I might be … Continue reading →
