    would you live back in time?

    I actually didn't even think about mental health when I was originally pondering this topic. I've had my fair share of struggles with severe social anxiety, especially when I was very young, and I doubt I would have received as much help from my parents and teachers if I had been born in a...

    You know that summer really IS over when...

    Summer is over when I'm only slightly less sweaty from my walk to campus than before, and when I can reasonably consider getting a coffee that isn't iced. But those things don't usually start happening until well into October!

    would you live back in time?

    It's a little more complicated than that, but yes, some Latino people were considered white in the past, mostly because they fought for the title, thinking it would bring equality in the social and legal spheres. However, that doesn't mean they were actually treated as white people, and I'm...

    would you live back in time?

    A lot of my life today probably wouldn't translate well to the 1940's or earlier (and even later). I am a female college student studying art and women's studies and will be going to get a Master's degree in the near future. I am single, live on my own with other young women and have a job...

    "Vintage" foods that are still with us today.

    I don't eat bacon. I'm not a vegetarian, but ever since I was young, the amount of fat on a slice of bacon grossed me out, so I just don't eat it. I do love the smell of it, but I always have sausage if I have a fancy breakfast.

    Taking Amtrak

    That's actually a great idea. I have a friend up in SB that I've been meaning to visit!

    Taking Amtrak

    I'd love to take Amtrak someday. When I lived in the Netherlands I absolutely loved taking the train to visit my friends in different parts of the country. Though they weren't long trips by any means, it was so convenient and pretty. I've never been to the middle of the USA, so I think it...

    liquid eyeliner?

    I use a matte, medium/dark brown eyebrow powder with water as my liquid liner. I have deep set eyes with heavy lids and black liner just looks too harsh for me. Unfortunately, since it's not an actual eyeliner that I'm wearing, it has the tendency to rub up onto my lower brow that hits my...

    Actually, I think the best title goes to "The Ugly Girl Papers", a book from the same era that tells you how not to be the ugly girl that everyone pities! lol I haven't gotten the book yet, but from what I can tell from other books that I have, I'm sure the advice isn't going to be that...

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    I've been buying mostly books lately, but I thought you ladies might be interested! My most recent purchase, Feminology: A Guide for Womankind is from 1903. I collect these sorts of books from the mid 1800's up until the mid-1950's. There's going to be a book collection contest at my library in...

    Haha, I finally got it open, but now my hand hurts! I'm too scared to close it now too!

    Besame cosmetics

    I just got my order today, and I can't, for the life of me, open my blush! I can get the eyeshadow open (a bit of a struggle though), but the blush just won't budge. It keeps popping out of my hands! Is there a trick to this???

    Dried out lipstick:(

    My Ruby Woo has always been super dry, so I put Burt's Bees chapstick on underneath it so it glides smoothly. Maybe that will work? Burt's Bees is perfect because it's neither too glossy nor too sticky. The lipstick still looks matte and lasts just as long, it's just not as drying.

    Besame cosmetics

    I just bought Red Hot Red, rouge in Sweet Pink and eyeshadow in Shimmer Beige. I have no idea why I bought more lipstick, considering I have a 2 nearly full tubes of Ruby Woo and 1 of Russian Red lying around. I guess I'm an addict!

    Moving? maybe...

    Exactly. And if you really don't want to live somewhere even remotely unsafe, it's really easy to, even if you don't have a ton of income (and don't mind living in an apartment!). Because it's so spread out, many people in LA haven't even been to "the ghetto". You don't have to if you don't...

    I was there..

    When I'm in nature, like on a hike, it feels like a timeless place. I like that. But that's about it.

    LA Quake - 7/29 11:42 5.8 magnitude

    Exactly. It was so surreal. I'd never been in a rolling quake before and it felt like the wall behind me was rippling. So strange!

    Moving? maybe...

    That's funny, because with LA, "far, far away" can mean many different things to many different people! I'm extremely close to the Getty, but still live in LA. My boyfriend is 30 minutes (with no traffic) from the Getty, and still in what's considered LA. The place is HUGE. And you'll have to...

    LA Quake - 7/29 11:42 5.8 magnitude

    I was at work in the Special Collection's reading room, where it's all nice and quiet and everyone's focused. The second it started happening everyone just looked up and at each other with wide eyes. None of us knew what to do! I'm just glad I wasn't in the stacks and that none of our books...

    I just bought this lovely little number on Ebay: I think I'll have to get it hemmed, but other than that, I think it will fit well! I'm excited! I haven't been able to find anything in vintage stores that I like lately, so I'm pretty pumped that I found this dress online.
