Coming down the pipes!

New things! There are new things coming down the pipes, people!

My life feels like it's completely up in the air, and I've been in such agony that I think I've reached my limit. I can no longer obsses about it. "Que sera, sera. Whatever will be will be."

[In case I never explained, I've applied to medical school, attended interviews at my two state schools, and am now in limbo, waiting to see if they'll accept me for the fall.]

I'm still planning on moving, hopefully to new orleans, even if I don't get in, but who knows what the hell I'll do with another gap year. Work? Get my masters? Party? Probably a combination! But I'm trying not to focus on plan B yet. Trying to keep believing!

But in the mean time... I've decided to open up an online shop to sell all the thrift store finds I continue to accumulate! :)

After comparing etsy, ebay, and other similar online selling sites, I've decided to try my hand at etsy. So keep an eye out, people! I need your support xoxox

It ain't me, babe.

I'm happy when it rains, I'm happy when it pours

It has been one rainy weekend, and I love it. I can look outside my window and pretend I live in the Pacific Northwest or England or somewhere less hot and humid than south Louisiana. My cat Oatmeal and I have been listening to the rain, baking muffins, and watching every DVD I own.


This weekend has been catch-up time mostly. With school back in full swing, I am booked solid all week. It's strange to be back in college after just graduating (fyi I'm finishing pre-reqs for med school). But on the bright side I did get a brand new job that pays me a bunch just because I have that silly bachelor's.



I'm back to eating like a child again. Usually I'm so busy that I end up eating whole grain waffles with peanut butter or Life cereal. Caffeine is back too. Serious doses. Coffee, Coke (-ca cola), Red Bull, B vitamins, 5 hour energy, I got 'em all.

On a fashion note, I cannot wait until fall! My mind is running wild with thoughts of tights, sweaters, boots, and coats. I am thoroughly burnt out on summer clothes. It's exhausting to be forced to strategically construct an outfit based on the sweat-factor.

Summertime and the living's....hard

Living in the south has its benefits and its drawbacks. The skin-melting heat of late summer is a drawback. The summer is like quicksand here, by the time you realize how bad it is, you're in too deep and the more you struggle, the worse it becomes. At least there hasn't been a hurricane yet to knock out the power and leave us all in misery. Don't get me wrong, May was great; June was fine, but come July and summer becomes Satan's hellfire.


So, while people in other parts of the country are eyeing the upcoming fall fashions, I'm left with the realization that my summer will be lingering on until October at least. It's so unfair. Summer is my least favorite season. I really should move ASAP.


Here are some things that have gotten me through this awful season known as summer:

Because an oily complextion + excessive sweating = breakout city (and no one wants that)

I love Tom's deodorant as much as any other nature-loving modern girl, but when it's 98 degrees and 90% humidity, I need something a little stronger.

Sometimes it is imperative to bring down one's body temperature from the inside out.

And last but not least, between the hours of 3:00 and 5:00 the only option for escaping the heat is to hibernate until the sun sets and the heat subsides (somewhat).

I hope the weather is less harsh and unforgiving where you are!
