I'll be your prom queen, you be my prom king

Betsey Johnson's Spring 2008 collection still has to be one of my absolute favourites. I did a blog post about it a few years ago- I wanted one of these dresses then, and I want one now! I think I'd just like to live in Betsey Johnson's mind for a day and see what goes on in there...

#27: Read 50 non-crime books

I just finished reading The Help. It was recommended by my nesties. It is seriously one of the best books I have ever read. I woke up early and stayed up late to read it. It is based in 1960's Mississippi and is about a white woman writing a book on the delicate balance between white women and their maids. It is told from the point of view of the maids and the woman writing the book. I have to put this up there with To Kill a Mockingbird. Seriously, everyone should read this bo...

The Battle with my Skin

Back in February about a week or two into the Blizzard of 2010 my forehead started breaking out. I have never really had issues with acne so this was new to me. I mean, I have gotten the occasional bump here and there, treated it, and it was gone. But this was different. My entire forehead was breaking out and no matter what I did it would not go away.I knew it had something to do with my anxiety over all the snow. I don't know what my issue was, but I just felt like it (meaning the snow) was never...
