i don’t know french. hahaha ANYHOOZIES, went to the clinique counter today. with suki.
i didn’t really have a set resolution for the new year, so i guess i’ll make one right now: to get rid of my zits once and for all! skin’s a tricky thing because everything affects the skin, internal and external. gotta drink water, gotta eat healthy, probably exercise, wash your face, not get stressed out, endless possibilities. i’ve always had zits on my forehead, the other areas of my face aren’t too problematic.
so yeah! went to the clinique counter at macy’s and bought me their 3-step for acne. i expected to pay $70, but it was actually $51, $56 including tax. this was probably the second time i ever sat at the cosmetics section of a department store. lalala stigmas against makeup. they got me to put on foundation. i usually am really hesitant to do foundation because i’ve seen some people that have foundation on and it’s totally noticeable that there’s foundation on their face! to me, it’s not too pleasant. but when i was talking about my problem with foundation with my mom, she said that it’s acceptable to walk around like that these days. but it was a good experience for me because my zits aren’t too bumpy. it was only visible super up close. even then, i wouldn’t have put it around my nose and mouth, so maybe it would work better. other than that, the foundation was used pretty sparingly and it did make a significant difference.
this is my first night using it and it feels good. skin feels soft and fresh just like the clinical/sterile-looking blue that clinique uses. haha
on another note, burrito’s really stressing me out. finding a place, saying she likes it, brings my hopes up, calls me later and tells me that she actually hates it, the cycle starts again.
i hate updating my mom on all this. i’d just like to focus on finding a summer job/internship.
ON ANOTHER NOTE, we brought along suki’s brother on our adventure. it was fun until he attempted to hock a loogie out of my car, but failed. epically. let’s just say i had to take a clorox wipe to the inside and outside of my rear-right window.
speaking of suki, i told her that my secret wish is to have the dude in my life say to me, “that’s my girl” when i do something awesome, just like howl did in howl’s moving castle. OR when he’s talking about me to someone else say, “oh, alyson? she’s the best.” seriously, those exact words.
she also told me that she read my blog and was interested in the topic of marriage; specifically about strategies. hahaha. by strategies i/she means insurance. by insurance i/she means female precautions. and by female precautions i/she mean the wife secretly siphoning off a small portion of her income and putting it into a secret account. in the event of divorce, she can have some monetary stability and peace of mind while still taking half of her husband’s money. what a minx. hahaha!!
we also talked about the significance of officially marrying someone. there’ve been people who have a boy/girlfriend for years and never marry. they are together and never cheat on each other. some people think that there’s no stability in a relationship like that, that there’s no obligation and either one could just sleep with someone else without consequences. on the other hand, isn’t marriage just a certificate? i mean, you have to pay to get married and what if some people can’t afford it? i dunno. some people are able to have good relationships for years without having to marry and how about divorces that happen because of cheating? a marriage certificate doesn’t necessarily get in the way of anything. *shrug*
how can someone openly wish disaster and terrorist attacks on a whole population? totally incomprehensible to me. and keep those comments closed, it makes me feel better.
i like standing next to you, sean. it makes me look so tough.
