why!!

I transitioned over to cleaning my face via the Oil Cleansing Method about a month ago and my face has never looked better. For toner, I use 5 parts water to 1 part ACV, for moisturizer, I use a drop of avocado or jojoba oil and for lotion, coconut oil. My face is literally AMAZING right now. It has responded really well to my new routine so I'm ready to officially dive in and get rid of all those things.

My hair care routine still needs some work, I've tested the "No-Poo" baking soda method (wash your hair without shampoo and replace it with a baking soda/water mixture) and that failed. I am currently washing my hair with Dr. Bronner's castile soap, but I think I need something more. Hence, the shampoo is not getting thrown out until I find something that actually works, lol.

TL;DR - I'm becoming a hippie and using only completely natural products to clean my face/body.

A Tar Heel-Shaped Hope

May 16th will find me in North Carolina.

At an event most bio moms dare not dream of:

Their child’s high-school graduation.

At her family’s invitation, I’ll be cheering, picture-taking and happy-crying right along with them.

There isn’t much that compares to a weeklong sleepover in Laurie’s room during graduation and prom season.

But we’re pretty sure that a May 19th reading at Flyleaf Books in Chapel Hill will only make it sweeter.

If you guys feel the same way, would you: 

Like Flyleaf’s Facebook page and post on their Wall?

Follow/Tweet ‘em @FlyleafBook + mention #heartshapedmemoir?

Reblog this for your Raleigh/Chapel Hill friends?

With your Tar-Heeled help, I’ll be hugging all your faces in six weeks—and introducing you to the new graduate who’s sprung back into my world as a fully formed daughter/sister/best friend.

dear alex aka spareunderthemattt,

can you come back to florida please? now that we've gotten our initial, shocked-slash-not-sure-how-to-act-in-person, meeting out of the way, we can get down to business and just unleash our hate and general bad-ass-ness on the world, because girl I NEED IT right now.

also, you are my sole motivation for working as hard as i do even though i'm miserable. it's such an admirable quality that you have while simultaneously not letting anyone fuck with you. i'm learning the balance slowly but surely.

so thanks.

miss you love you wanna be you, brittney aka bwintz

theres less point in going when youre an old fart… 30 years after now when undergrad is paid off. return on investment is dramatically lower.

Alright but I don't think it's going to take you 30 years and I don't think your interest is ever going to go away. It's your life. It's no less valid when you're old than when you're young. I'm not saying that you're wrong or that it might change for you. But don't just write it off, you know? You're the one who makes me realize my potential and all that junk. Don't ruin it for yourself. You do so much. Don't stop.

i hate you because i dont even have an option of looking at grad schools due to money. >:[ jealous. so much.

Girl, grad school doesn't go away. It'll be a feasible option at some point, as long as you remember to think of it in the future. Seriously, don't ever cancel it out as an option because you are fucking awesome and motivated and don't let shit get in your way. Ever. Stay that way.
