Can Lip Balm Be Addictive?

I apply lip balm at least ten times a day. My desk is filled with enough balms to last me until retirement, and I feel naked without at least one coat on my lips. I don’t care whether it’s tinted or clear, flavored or tasteless: if it comes in a tube or jar, I’m happy to smear it on my lips. But lately I learned that much like chocolate or reality TV, lip balm can...

ballin' on a budget.
Typically, I’m a fan. However, when it comes to cutting coupons and then actually remembering to use them… no thanks. I just forget! (I am in awe/disgusted by that Extreme Couponing show.)
HOWEVER.
target.com has a really cool/sort of hidden/WORTH IT coupon section!
I’m generally a big fan of Target, in the first place. But I’m talking:
$1 off any Sally Hansen nail...

Drexler - OVERTIME Free Download →
danielvega:
Sort of a side project of Zlam Dunk, Brett and I wrote a song and we finished it a while back and we thought we’d give it away in time for Christmas and when the NBA gets going back up. Had to get this out of the way cause Zlam Dunk has a new EP we’re putting out in March.
sounds like 90s basketball.

… It’s never, in the long run, about the grand gestures. You can fly across the world and show up on her doorstep with a rose in your teeth and a ring in a little velvet box but I can guarantee you that - more often than not - she’s going to remember the time you built the birdhouse in the back yard, or what have you, a whole lot more.
Life wasn’t meant to be taken in large...

Shape Shift
tylerknott:
I want to be the book that sleeps beside your bed, the one you reach for when you cannot find the backs of your eyes and paint with your own ink to highlight the sentences that highlighted something inside you. The bent pages and water damaged spine and the ring of brown where your coffee mug couldn’t help but sit when the skin on your fingers couldn’t handle the heat any longer.

Alex Leo: Why “Parks & Rec” Is Actually a Better... →
alexleo:
I love Tina Fey; she’s a goddess of all that is shiny and fun, but sometimes I find myself begrudging “30 Rock” and I just realized why: I wish it were more like “Parks & Recreation.” In real life, Tina Fey is married with a gorgeous daughter, dozens of prestigious awards, a “Vanity…
i generally prefer Parks & Rec anyway, but “the Director of News Product for...

How to Live in New York City « Thought Catalog →
tinsely:
“Certain moments of living in the city will always stick out to you…These memories might seem insignificant but they were all moments when you looked around the city and felt like you were a part of it all. When you leave the city, you probably won’t come back. Eventually your life in New York will seem so far away and sometimes you’ll even wonder if it really happened. Don’t...

Long Distance Friends
Sometimes, all you need to get you through work is a caffeinated soda, greasy pizza, and a miles-long email (Okay, it was a Facebook message. But lengthy and worthy enough to be considered an email.) from your bestie in Brooklyn.
Since I’m no longer there myself, I live vicariously through her. That’s all I’ve really got today. So here’s my favorite part of that long...

monday check in.
obsessing over: chapstick. no, really. the weather’s starting to get cold and dry and if i don’t have chapstick on my person at all times, i feel a little panicked. (that’s an exaggeration. but still.)
working on: christmas ideas for my brother and sister! it’s way closer than i realized.
thinking about: I’M DONE FOR THE SEMESTER. now, all i have is a sort-of-hefty...

Chuck Klosterman re: Tim Tebow →
Whether people rant about loving him or hating him, they are just extending the media circus that they, in fact, turn around and complain about.
For the most part, I’ve been part of the why-does-it-really-matter camp, but Klosterman’s take is the only thing I’ve read that makes a little sense of the situation. And to quote the great Forrest Gump, “That’s all I have...

Holiday Shopping For A Gentleman
For starters, I just love shopping for people and giving gifts. As Christmas gets closer and closer, I’ve started to accumulate ideas or actual items that I want to give to Daniel.
I’m no style blogger, but along the way I’ve found some great (and still affordable) menswear companies, blogs, shops, etc and just thought I’d share them here! At the very least, they are...

i'm getting a new roommate in january!
NewRoomie™ was a random find on Emily’s part, but she seems awesome so far. Way to go, Emily!
Exhibit A:
Oh, and they’re spending a week in Fiji… no big deal.
(Disclaimer: verdict of “awesome” was not based strictly on this fact, but rather an overall sum of the things I have learned about her so far.)

awesome things:
Officially was offered (and accepted) an internship position starting after the first of the year! It’s unpaid, but I feel pretty good about the opportunities and work experience I will receive. A friend from high school interned there this fall and will be staying on for the spring, so I got the scoop from her. It’s a creative agency in south Austin with some cool clients…...

the weeks are flying by, huh?
obsessing over: not much, actually. i’m sort of in a finals-week-daze right now.

thinking about: how there are so many other things i need to be doing besides university admissions-related data. and i’m still struggling with the fact that my only choice at the moment is having...
