“When applying makeup, most people tend to do one eye flawlessly and the other not so much. So when it comes to putting on eyeliner or filling in eyebrows, you should always start with the more difficult eye first. It’ll force you to get better at making that one as strong as the other.”

Apple Picking at Chudleigh's
I hadn't been to Chudleigh's in years, so we decided to go recently. There wasn't a huge selection (we chose to go with picking Cortland apples), but that was mainly our fault since we went on tail end of the apple picking season (which goes from late August to late October).
I'm not sure if everyone does this, but the best part is really just eating apples along the way as you pick them. Is that gross? Is it not allowed? These answers can't be known.

Perfect Strangers: Reviewed
I love my brother. You should know this by now. And I thought I had experienced the perfect Perfect Strangers-themed site the internet had to offer, but clearly I was wrong.
My brother Gary has started (and maintained) Perfect Strangers: Reviewed - a site that details each and every Perfect Strangers episode, but in a modernly-interpreted manner. Basically, he's watching each of the episodes today (in 2015) and re-examining them in an entertaining and delightful way.
I'm obviously a huge fan of him, of the show and of this idea, so get your ass to that page and devour each word as wholeheartedly as I shall do.
And Gar, please continue to be the best.

The Bee Gees
I really think that if I were alive around the time that these guys were famous, I would've been a huge fan. As it stands, I'm a pretty big fan of mainly their singles, but it definitely could have been a deeper love had I experienced their heyday.
I think the first time I'd ever heard a snippet of one of their songs was when this scene happened:
I remember hearing that and thinking, "Whoa. What the hell song is that, I need to get it on my Walkman NOW."
A few years later, I came across Saturday Night Fever and (other than that being just a terrible movie) the amount of Bee Gees songs featured solidified me as a fan. I mean, c'mon - listen to this gem.
Love these guys.

Why oh why am I just learning of this movie’s existence NOW?
Copper Hair Tube
It mildly shocks me that women haven't demanded more variety when it comes to their hair ties. Doesn't it seem strange that we've never really yearned for more beautiful alternatives to the plain, old, fabric-laden rubber band? These are some of the reasons that I absolutely love this copper "hair tube" seen above. Not only is it gorgeous, but it's different from the boring-ass hair ties that dominate the doorknobs in my house (that's where I keep all my hairties, on doorknobs throughout the house - it's actually a great way to always find one when you need one).

If you have a friend who:
- Liked the show The Wire.
- Is having a baby.
Then this is the only gift in the world they need.
Thank you so much to Abbey Christine for making it!
