anyways, because i'm feeling rather apathetic towards the whole studying thing, i've decided to list 5 things related to pampering that i love (some of which i realized today, others of which i've known but wanted to add to the list anyways):

| 3 of the 5! sorry, no haircut picture...too creepy, even for me. |
1. it is amazing how changing your nail polish from a dark, moody purple to an eye-popping neon pink will improve your mood. it's almost an instant fix.
2. it is much easier to throw your recently showered hair into a braid and just go with it. i mean, let's get real. what are the chances that you're going to meet your husband in LIBRARY SCHOOL? yeah, exactly.
3. cooling eye masks are god's gift to stressed graduate students. they should be used daily, potentially multiple times a day depending on the time in the semester (ex: finals=3 times a day).
4. self-tanner WITH GLITTER is the bee's knees. i mean, not only does it give you that instant satisfaction because you are no longer vampire-pale, but it adds a little shimmer to your life. and who doesn't need shimmer? it's the easiest way to instantly become part of the cullen family, minus the icky pale factor and the drinking of blood.
5. a haircut can truly, and i mean truly, transform a person. considering that i haven't cut my hair in like 9 months (sorry horselike mane, but there really is no need when i slap you in a ponytail or braid every day), i didn't learn this from my own haircut. but let's just say the haircut i recently saw made me stop and stare as if seeing jonathan taylor thomas through my lovesick six year old eyes. it is amazing how with a few clips of the scissors, a rebel-without-a-cause can be transformed into a take-him-to-grandma's-for-christmas-dinner type man. well done, anonymous hairstylist, well done. women everywhere are thanking you for uncovering that masterpiece of a man.
