Milani Easy Brow Pencil
It's pretty weather proof and won't run on you in the rain or snow or anything - it'll even stay on and not smudge off if you decide to not take it off with the rest of your makeup at the end of a day. I've done that a few times. Goddam it, I just love having fuller eyebrows. Did you know that the number one facial cosmetic procedure among women in NYC this year was eyebrow restoration? So funny that that's a thing now.
In any case, this Milani pencil is magic and you can get it at basically any CVS in New York. It ranges from $7 - $10, which is pretty decent, too.
Aveda Hand Relief Lotion
If you've ever kept hand cream in your purse, this is the one to buy. The main reasons?
- It doesn't make your hands feel oily.
- You only need to use a tiny drop of it each time you use it, so it lasts forever.
- There is no smell. Absolutely no flowery shit here. Just a normal, nothing kind of smell.
Is $10 too expensive for a 1.4 ounce bottle? I don't think it is. Especially considering the fact that cheaper brands last barely a month and feel oily as hell.
Also, are you lotioning your hands right? I feel like you may not be. What I like to do is put a tiny drop on the top of each hand and then rub that in. Why do people always put the cream in their palms first? That makes no sense to me - your palms are not dry and never will be. You should be taking care of that wintery, withered, constantly-exposed hand skin, damnit.
Holiday Nails
My rule about nail art? It can be great, as long as it's not aggressive. And by that I mean that only one nail on each hand should have said art. Otherwise it's way too distracting. So this week, I decided to give this pin (below) a try.
And here's how mine turned out.

Humans of the world, were you aware of this? I've been taking advantage of this program for years and don't have any plans to stop. You can find more information on what can be recycled here.
