So, I guess this is what they call an online scrapbook?

OK, so this is my first attempt at an online scrapbook. It was going to be much cooler, until I realized that I have yet to install Adobe Photoshop on my new MacBook Pro, which left me with few options when it came to creativity. With my assignment deadline less than a few hours away, taking the time to install Photoshop did not seem to be the sensible solution, so instead of a scrapbook-like collage, I posted each photo individually with a caption.

Umm, no thanks! I'll stick to drinking my grape juice rather than diluting it in my shampoo bottle. I just have a feeling that there are so many things that could go wrong with this beauty tip, and yet I still ripped it out of the magazine because in the end, curiosity always gets the best of me :)

So, what's up with this picture? Well, I love this model's eye makeup! Purple eyeshadow is my absolute favorite and the technique they used here is something I hope to achieve as soon as I can convince my younger sister to permanently lend me her set of purple Estee Lauder eyeshadows :)

I have always wanted to wear eyeliner, but have never been able to put it on because I am "functionally blind" in my right eye -- If you're confused, it basically means that my brain ignores my right eye because of "self-inflicted" trauma I suffered as a child (And by this I mean, being a five-year-old who ignored her parents' warnings when it came to climbing things, only to find out that hitting one's head on cement after falling from a considerable height is actually not that fun nor smart.). Anyhow, I saw this makeup tip and ripped it out of Cosmopolitan or Self magazine -- and decided to give it a try!

Man's Search for Meaning (the second book from the top) is a book that I have wanted to read for ages. Once I am done with my two current reads --> Mere Christianity and But That I Can't Believe, I will be sure to move on to this one. By the way, this is a page I ripped out of the Oprah Magazine :)

Awesome artwork by the talented cartoonists at The Oregonian :)

This was the quote on my first ever cup of Starbucks black coffee! I thought it didn't make any sense at all, but then I read it again and remembered how my mom always jokes that I have given her all her gray hairs, and that's when it made perfect sense -- Children are chaotic! No further explanation required :)
