i love exfoliating. yes, it could be interpreted as a metaphorical renewal, a catharsis, a ritual purification. it could rid your mind and soul of impurities, as well as your face. but really, exfoliating makes me happy just b/c it gets my skin soft. i used to use clinique’s exfoliating scrub, but have switched over to st. ives’ invigorating apricot scrub b/c it’s less expensive and has that organic element that is a given whenever you polish your face with something like crunched up fruit. after a good scrub, i rinse with clean & clear deep action cream cleanser, which soothes and smoothes everything. any day feels better when my face is clean.
tonight, lauren and i placated our boredom by inventing our very own games. that’s right, we are creative and self-sufficient. while we love it dearly, we don’t need someone else to organize games for us! (especially since someone called me names and reported me b/c i bumped their pawn back to start while i was playing ‘sorry’ today!) so lauren came up with ‘reality guess who,’ and we both ended up choosing rhs teachers from our past. then we tested the prototype of ‘aim hangman.’ after a brief fumble toward ‘afvnr,’ lauren guessed ‘silver bells’ and i guessed ‘you are my fire’ and then we called it a night. (note to self: aim hangman could use an upgrade.)
christmas seems to sneak up on me when i’m away at school and distracted by finals. i need to break out my holiday spirit. let’s start by listing my top five christmas songs, in no particular order: do you hear what i hear?, have yourself a merry little christmas, white christmas, o holy night, and christmas eve in sarajevo by the trans-siberian orchestra. and i won’t try to hide the fact that i do really enjoy madonna’s version of santa baby, as heard on a very special christmas volume one. now we can start celebrating.
quote of the day: “i’ve been an angel all year” – santa baby
