The super boy-ish side of me has come out in the past 24 hours or so. Most of my tweets yesterday were about the Sharks and Lakers/Cavs game, and I also managed to sneak in an @reply to Michael Bush’s question “why doesn’t flash work on ipad?”
My answer? “Because Steve Jobs hates Adobe/Flash”. Well, it’s true.
Additionally, I managed to have a pretty decent convo with one of my hockey buds on Facebook about the Sharks’ oh-so-terrible struggles right now. I mean, to the point where I’m even impressed with my hockey knowledge. I’ve fully admitted that I’m still learning the game (being that I didn’t really “grow up” watching it). I understand the basics, now it’s all about the nuances. Don’t believe me? Try me. Ask me anything about the team this season, and I’ll answer it as best as I can.
I think the fact that the conversation centered around the Sharks also helped my arguments tenfold. Ask me to argue for/against another team? Fugghadeaboutit. But I’ll get there soon enough :)
If you know me, you’d know that I am two EXTREMES of the gender spectrum. While, yes, I’m a sporty chick with a knack for understanding and enjoying team sports, I’m also an extreme girly girl who has a make-up collection that you would die for. Do you have the Urban Decay NAKED palette? Well, I do!
Many people describe my style as “funky”. I’ve never really been able to pinpoint what exactly my style is. I’ve always thought that I kind of emit a bohemian-rocker-chic vibe. I don’t really like to follow trends, nor do I like dressing like every other filipino girl out there. So that’s probably why my style looks like an amalgamation of the Olsen twins and Rihanna mixed in with a little Blair Waldorf for class. So I can see the funky label. I can dig it.
I thought it’d be cool to post some of my favorite things at the moment, style/beauty/fashion-wise. Here they are:
- Essie’s Matte About You - The matte nail trend is so last year, and I have to say, I have a tendency to pick up on trends like a year after they arrive. But I don’t really care. Matte nails are so hot! Everyone wants their nails to be all shiny, but this is a really unique way to make your nails stand out from the crowd.
- Bright Nail Polish - For the longest time, I wore really dark colors on my nails, deep, eggplant purple, black, dark maroon. Because, come on, dark nails are kind of sexy. But I think the more playful side has come out of me in the past few months. And, who else, my girl Rihanna in her “What’s My Name?” video totally inspired me. She has those periwinkle blue nails at one point, and I fell in love. Ever since then, bright nails have been my go-to at the salon. Right now, my nails are bright ocean blue. And matte :)
- Korres Lip Butter - I’ve struggled for years to find the best chapstick for my dry lips. And while there are some products out there that suffice — i.e. Burt’s Bees, Lypsyl Lyp Moisturizer — NOTHING compares to Korres Lip Butter. My lips have never felt so soft. And the best part? They STAY soft. You don’t have to continue reapplying. I put on a little before I go to bed, then a little before I head out to work in the morning. It’s a godsend! And there’s a lot of different scents, too. I got the guava and pomegranate ones. Trust me…you MUST get it!
- Tokidoki Perfetto Eyeliner - This thing is basically a permanent marker. For those gals constantly finding their liquid eyeliner sweating and melting off, I highly recommend this product. It’s a pen and goes on smoothly across your eyelid. And the best part? It doesn’t come off (well, when you use make-up remover it does). But seriously. Take my word for it.
- Sephora Collection: I.T. Face Contour Brush - So, I just recently started to get into the habit of contouring my face. I use Mac Blush in Blunt, and then I use this brush. When I purchased it at the counter, the girl raved about it to me. Needless to say, I was pretty excited to start using it. It does not disappoint. If you ever need to contour your face, this is the brush to use.
That’s all for now, but they really are some of my favorites, at the moment. I also bought these awesome combat, vintage-looking boots, and I can’t wait to wear them. I would post a picture of them, but 1) I can’t find my camera and 2) my laptop is so extremely slow right now, I don’t think I can upload anything new to this thing or else I think my laptop will explode.
