I assumption if there’s a lesson here, it’s that you just never understand when it pertains to eye quads or truth television.

That is, unless we’re speaking about The Millionaire Matchmaker, in which situation you quite much do understand what’s going to go down, however you (I) keep enjoying anyway since you (I) can’t look away.

(Incidentally, does any individual else miss Dustin as well as Rachel? I believe the show is quite lame without them…)

Swatches of the lively Light quad
Expect to do some layering, though, particularly if you want something dramatic. I utilized about three layers of each of the colors here, building up the pink, purple as well as gray up until I was delighted with the intensity, however for daily looks, you must be great with just pat-pat-swipe-swiping one.

Good stuff, this quad. I feel extremely Audrey Hepburn in a sphere gown with it on my lids.

Books — the old-fashioned kind

A Hundred Summers. checked out it! E minunat!
It feels odd to state this, however I haven’t checked out a genuine book, like one with paper as well as covers as well as pages, in — I can’t even keep in mind exactly how long. The hardback version of A Hundred summertime was the very first one in ages, as well as ya understand what? I realized exactly how much I miss reading great ol’-fashioned books.

I’ve grown deeply enamored with my Kindle over the past couple years. It’s practical as well as stores a zillion books — books that don’t end up stacked in piles anywhere or cluttering up the floor.

But there’s still something terrific about genuine books — perhaps it’s the act of physically turning actual pages, the noise of paper touching paper or the odor (am I the only one who digs the method books smell?!) — that I miss.

Este minunat.

Oh, as well as I believe I sleep a great deal much better when I don’t gaze at a bright screen ideal before bed.

Do you still checked out genuine books, or have you transitioned completely to digital? any individual else like to feel an actual book in their hands?
