Long Hair Ponytail Trick Via Pinterest

One of my New Year's resolutions was to actually try at least two Pinterest pins a month. (Does that seem like I'm aiming pretty low with only doing two? I think it does, but two is better than my usual one-a-year.)

Anyway, I just tried this one and I loved it. Also, it ups my hairstyles-to-leave-the-house-in quota to a whopping THREE HAIRDOS. So that's big news, guys. You should try the hell out of this because it makes you look goddess-like. 

Sidenote: I am in no way saying that this hairstyle made me look like a goddess. I've looked like a goddess for many years now.

Movie To See - Dallas Buyers Club

Before I begin, I purposely didn't attach the trailer to this post because it makes it better if you don't really know what the movie's about. I summarized the plot to someone the other day and realized that I made it sound way less good than it actually is. So by learning that lesson, I'm not going to say much here. 

What will I say? Only that I really didn't expect it to be watchable/great/notable-in-the-slightest and I was surprised by how good it was. Definitely see this.

(If you're thinking, "This is barely a post, Liz" - well, all right. That's fair. Sometimes you don't need to be so wordy. Sometimes a good movie is just a good movie.)

Night Court in NYC

I've gone to night court twice and I've gotta say - it's actually kind of a neat thing to do in this city. Neat and free. I didn't even know this was something that the public could attend, so of course I was into the idea after first reading about it. 

Does this seem like a crass thing to want to go to? In any case, I really wanted to go purely to see what kinds of crimes most people were in for, since that seemed the most interesting to me - and it was. Some people were brought it just hours after their arrest (those were the more heated cases) and it was definitely something to see. Lot of assault cases. One guy lit someone on fire. Just madness. Definitely go and see for yourself if this kind of thing intrigues you at all. It's crazy that they just let you in to witness this stuff.

B.J. Novak's Book Trailer

1. The idea of having a book trailer? Ugh, love it. Didn't even know that was a thing. 

2. For some reason, I got it in my head that this was going to be a children's book and didn't give it any more thought. So now that I understand that it's a proper book, I can't wait to read the hell out of it. A review on that will be coming soon.

Watch this!

Cracker Saver

For crackers or cookies! I don't know about you, but I feel an enormous amount of pressure when opening cracker/cookie bags to eat them all within the span of two or three days, in fear of them going stale. Am I alone here? Am I the maniac? Anyway, such a good idea. 

Are you not as excited about this as I am? 'Cause that's a shame then.

You can buy them off Amazon for $12.50 for a set of two.

Tip of the Day - Perfectly Lined Eye Shadow

Tip of the day: use scotch tape to have a perfectly even eye shadowed area on both eyes. Love this.

Victorian Trading Co.

I almost don't want to tell you how many items I've bought from this catalog. Not because it's embarrassing to talk about, but moreso because it'll place me a smidge higher than you in terms of our varying classiness factors. 

Please don't judge, but these are the latest things I've purchased from this gorgeous retailer.

Ice Pack

Bedside Carafe

Ruffled Umbrella

Mouthwash Decanter

These are only a few of the things I absolutely had to have. I think it gives you an accurate impression of the types of things they sell. Anyway, just wanted to make you aware of its presence. They will mail you a free catalog if you request one, just check out their site.
