N's Project 365: Week 5
May 1, 2011: Wow.
May 2, 2011: I only got myself 2 souvenirs - chocolate (surprise surprise) and a 10 peso bookmark from a man who approached us at dinner.
May 3, 2011: I promise I'll try to post things other than food at some point...but who can resist a bouquet of fruits dipped in peanut butter chocolate?!
May 4, 2011: I was still catching up on the royal wedding photos, and this is one of my faves. I wonder if people will embarrass that little girl with it when she gets married.
May 5, 2011: Happy Cinco de Mayo!
May 6, 2011: Ah, bubble bath.
May 7, 2011: Organizing bangles during spring cleaning is much more fun than scrubbing the sink.

Good for the Soul
If I were Catholic, I think I'd feel really uncomfortable going to confessional for 2 reasons:
If I look back on my life, here are the things I remember doing "wrong":
- Obviously, telling someone your deepest, darkest secrets is nervewracking.
- I don't live on the edge. I'm the most boring person to play Truth or Dare or Never Have I Ever with. This embarrasses me. I'd feel the need to make up stories to tell the priest so that he/she doesn't think I'm a total snoozefest.
If I look back on my life, here are the things I remember doing "wrong":
- In high school, 2 friends and I would each complete 1 page of our anatomy exams and then copy each other's answers to the other pages. Naturally, I assigned myself the toughest page since I didn't trust the other girls' intelligence. It was easier when R and I paired up since we had equal smarts.
- When co-oping in college, I spilled solvent on a coworker's expensive graphing calculator and just feigned sympathy when he freaked out about it.
- At R's bachelorette party in Vegas, I (with prodding from R) kept texting some random dude we met and telling him to have the champagne ready because I was on my way to his room. He believed me.
- The confession above is an exception. I generally give out a fake name and number to guys, even if they seem perfectly nice.
- Last year, a friend and I slipped out after a spa day without tipping anyone.
- A couple of weeks ago, I refused to give up my window seat on a plane for a middle seat so that a woman could sit with her kid.
- I have no qualms about lying to people if I don't want to hang out with them.
- I never correct cashiers if they undercharge me.
- I wrote this post (and most of my other posts) while I should have been working.

N's Project 365: Week 4 + Puerto Vallarta
April 24, 2011: This was my bouquet for Ree's wedding. I'm amazed that faux peacock feathers survived hours of travel and being tossed about.
April 25, 2011: A girl is never too old to wear a Hello Kitty t-shirt to sleep.
April 26, 2011: Some people think I'm crazy for leaving my thermostat at 80ยบ all summer. I think it's juuust right.
April 28, 2011: The main church in Puerto Vallarta, a sand sculpture of The Last Supper on the beach, and the sunset (a well-deserved view after a looong trek) from Vista Grill.
April 29, 2011: Ahhhh.
April 30, 2011: A nice imitation of Paradise Island, followed by mango and coconut margaritas at Victor's. Can you spot the colorful parrots in the second photo?R's Review of Various Eye Creams
I remember the day I started using eye cream. I was at not-so-great job that kept my stress level so high that I started developing ulcer-like symptoms. One day, someone approached me and said "you look really tired." I stared in shock, because I had actually gotten 10 hours of sleep that night (rare). So I took myself to the nearest Nordstroms and bought some eye cream. Below, please find my reviews of all eye creams I've used in the past few years.
Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Ultimate Lift Age Correcting Eye Cream: This is a great eye cream, it comes with a gold spoon which makes it ultra fancy. Apparently it also has ground up pearls in it. All things that made it fabulous and an easy sale to me :) As much as I loved it, I think I'm a wee bit too young to be spending $100 on eye cream.
Jo Malone Green Tea and Honey Eye Cream So this was right after the Estee, so it wasn't as great in comparison. I couldn't honestly tell that I had been using it.
Olay Total Effect Eye Transforming Creme: So I love the price point of this eye cream. However, it isn't rich enough for my skin and sometimes causes irritation (which I think my skin is just changing overall).
Olay Definity Illuminating Eye Cream: This is an eye cream I would use at night. It doens't do well with concealer on top - it causes the concealer to flake off. But use it at night, its fantastic. It cools the eye and feels great.
Clinique All About Eyes Rich: WINNER! Feels as good as the Estee Lauder, but with a better price point!
