I’ve been having the worst time sleeping the past few nights.  I don’t know why, but it sucks regardless.

Perhaps I need some warm milk with honey in it?

Here’s what I learned this week:

• People are rude when they can’t understand you.  I’ve been having to make calls for my mom because she has bronchitis and people have been rude and hanging up on her from her scratchy voice.  Not nice at all.

Kenny from Survivor

• I heart Kenny from Survivor.  He’s a gamer.  He’s super cute.  He’s totally rockin’ the strategies.  Yeah, Kenny.  *swoon* (more…)

I’m a sucker for goal management.  I’m one of those self-help people.  Have a book that tells me how to live out my dreams?  Good, I want it.

I’ve read many times that it helps to reflect back on the day/week/month that you had and think about the things that you learned.

They could be something about your soul, your goals, your life, your friends or family, or even simple trivial things.

We all need to reflect.  All of us.  So I’m going to take the first step and reflect on the things I learned each week.  This’ll happen on Saturdays, usually.

I implore you to join in.  In the comments, on your own blog, in your diary, whatever.  It’ll help you.  I swear.

Most of us learned how to do our makeup from someone or something else.  Our moms showed us techniques, or we learned a thing or two from a beauty magazine.  Now that most of us are adults, and media has changed (hello, internet), how has this affected how you learn new techniques?

I wake up some mornings with this overwhelming feeling that I really just don’t want to do anything.  I’d rather sleep.  I imagine I’m not the only one that feels that way sometimes.

In general, though, I feel pumped to start the day.  Well, maybe not pumped, but I’m willing to do it anyway. 

Whether or not you feel like it, you should always try to look your best.  And not just for that boy (or girl) that you have your eye on, but for yourself as well.

Here are ten reasons why you should look your best, any day of the week.

Oh how I love color!  When we’re wearing makeup, we’re dealing with color (whether you like it or not. ) Earlier this week, I talked about the emotions you may induce when you wear green eye shadow and green nail polish.

But do you know how to wear green eye shadow?  Honestly, I don’t see a lot of people wearing it on a daily basis.  If I do, it’s usually me, in the mirror.

So, if you’re not sure what to do, you can get some inspiration from these tips.

Or maybe you wear green eye shadow, but you want new ways to rock the look.  Here are some super cute ways to totally rock green eye shadow.

Looking cute isn’t always about what you wear or what you do.  It’s also about how you feel on the inside.  If you feel cute, that attitude will radiate out and affect how others see you.

So while these tips will have to do with your outside appearance, it’s all about making you feel extra cute on the inside.  After all, we all need a day (or two, or more) to feel adorable.  It’ll really brighten you’re day.

Look extra cute today!
