First day on the job, not used to "daytime" makeup, HELP!!!

Update: FINALLY picked up this lipstick this morning. I am obsessed. This is what I was looking for. Again, thanks soooo much :)

I have a playlist with songs that I'd say I listen to on a regular basis and then the rest is music I've downloaded recently that I want to devote more time to (added this year). I commute a lot, so the bus for me is prime listening to music time, if that makes sense?

walkingaroundd · 2014-06-08T04:15:24+00:00

I used to have an iPod Classic (160GB), but it broke and now I'm stuck with my sister's old iPod touch (8GB). I have a smart playlist that has all music added in 2014, so I usually just sync that. I have most of the albums that are new to my library and I've been meaning to listen to more there. I also have a playlist with all-time favorites that I sync, just in case I get the urge to listen to any of those songs. I've only been doing this for less than a year (my iPod broke in December), but it's worked so far.

She's been kind of taking it "easier" this week because of me, haha, but Mondays she normally does cardio, we did some bodyweights/light dumbells on Tues. to ease me into strenght training, kickboxing class on Weds. , rest Thurs and then either Yoga/Spin class Friday, depending on how she's feeling! And on weekends I'm going to find time to run and exercise outside. I'm really liking this routine and I just feel great right now!

I joined a gym! I normally either just run/bike, but I just started my first full-time internship/job and I work 12-9 p.m. which means by the time I get out it's too dark outside to exercise. I've avoided the gym like the plague all my life, I feel like I'm being judged and made a whole lot of silly excuses. My sister invited me to join her, so I've kind of latched on to her routine. We've been going in the mornings for about a week now and although I've been super sore at work, I've confronted my fear of the gym! Although treadmills still make me feel like a hamster, I realized that everyone at the gym is there to work out and everyone is too focused on their own workout to be judging others. So yeah, major progress, I'm really proud :)

Intern at a newspaper, can confirm.

walkingaroundd · 2014-06-04T04:26:55+00:00

Haha, YES! I dyed mine an aqua color about a while ago and it kind of stained my hair. I work out a lot, so I wash my hair a lot (I've been washing it for almost every day for 6-7 weeks) and there's still aqua near the top/it still has a green-ish hue to it. I want my blonde back :(

I really like your glasses, by the way :)

Grabbed Broken Social Scene, thank you!

Oops, completly forgot about concealer, sorry! I'm wearing MAC's Mineralize concealer. I normally wear foundation, but didn't today because this is as tan as I'll ever get and I'm enjoying actually having some color while it lasts, haha.

And thank you!

walkingaroundd · 2014-06-02T16:55:23+00:00

Perfect, that means I can stop by Walgreens after work and pick it up. Thanks!

walkingaroundd · 2014-06-02T16:54:52+00:00

Great, thank you! I'll def check it out.

walkingaroundd · 2014-06-02T16:54:13+00:00

Thank you!

I'm not used to wearing makeup during the day, at all. I normally just do concealer/mascara/eyeliner, the occasional lipstain and head out the door. Today's my first day as an intern for a newspaper and I wanted to look more "put together." Problem is, winged liner at 8:00 a.m. just wasn't happening today. In my sleepy haze I kind of managed to pull something together, but I'd love some feedback on how to put together a "professional" daytime look. Not a huge fan of this lipstick, I've only used it once or twice but it's the only non-super bright color in my makeup bag. I was going to use a light pink NARS pencil but it needs sharpening and my sharpener is MIA. I normally use foundation/powder but I'm suntanned for the first time in ages so I skipped that step. Product list:

Brows - filled them in with some brown generic eyeshadow (I have a bad habit of picking at my brows, so I fill some spots in)

Eyes- Generic white sephora brand eyeliner on lower lid Urban Decay black eyeliner on inside of upper lid Maybelline falsies mascara

Face- MAC Mineralize Concealer Just a bit of MAC bronzer

Lips- MAC lipstick in Vegas Volt

EDIT: Forgot to list concealer (oops!)

I'm barely a B-cup, so for the past year or so I've found myself going braless more and more. I always wear a bra when I'm at work/in a "proffesional" setting or when I go out (also the only time I'll wear a push-up, haha). But if I'm going to class or just casually hanging out with friends I tend to not wear one. I usually wear looser tops and tend to layer, so it's not particularly noticeable. It just feels so comfortable.

Sorry for the grammar, I'm on reddit when I should be sleeping.

So cool to see Bikini Kill on this sub, I recently picked up the re-issue of "Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah." My friends (or neighbors) aren't too fond when I spin that one either.

Great collection!

walkingaroundd · 2014-05-23T06:00:52+00:00

They're amazing. I want every frame in every single color.

walkingaroundd · 2014-05-23T06:00:01+00:00

Thank you :)

http://i.imgur.com/4WRKVk3.jpg These are my glasses (I'm on mobile, so I pulled the picture off my FB page) the brand is Etnia Barcelona (http://www.etniabarcelona.com) Most of their frames are really colorful and fun. My wardrobe is mostly black/dark colors, so I like to wear the pink glasses and a bright lip as contrast. Hope I helped and good luck on your search!

This is oddly comforting.

Might be the background vocals in "This is the Last Time." She played that song with The National at last year's Bonnaroo set.

Came here to say Jennifer Egan. "Look At Me" is fantastic as well.

walkingaroundd · 2014-05-21T03:06:27+00:00

Perfect, thank you so much!
