From a Woman Who Enjoys Pasta as Much as I Do

"Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself. That is why some people with mediocre talent, but with great inner drive, go much further than people with vastly superior talent." ~ Sophia Loren

C-O-O-L R-I-D-E-R

Has anybody else out there heard of that gem of a movie known as Grease 2? Seriously, this movie is so fantastic (obvi in a more ironic way than its predecessor). You have Michelle Pfeiffer singing on top of ladders about wanting a "...Coo-ooo-ooo-oool Rider", an awesome bowling sequence, a pre-Sexy Rexy (Empire Records fans, you know what I'm talking about), and a biology class singing about reproduction. You mean you didn't do that in your biology class? If the answer is no, then here's what you misssed:



How could you not love this movie? I put it in the same almost-equally-as-fabulous as Teen Witch. Trust, there will eventually be a post about topping that.

Where does the pollen go?

The Doctor is In...

Saw this iPhone case and thought of several Couch members. I knew once you'd been made aware, you'd be placing your orders. I love that being a geek is now supremely fashionable. I didn't search, but perhaps they have a Battlestar Galactica case?

Skin Care Success!

After much ado, I found a skin care line that is proving to be quite wonderful. The Ultra Facial Collection by Kiehls is fantastic and has solved all of my skin care woes. These are awesome products, moisturizing without any hint of smelliness and leave my skin feeling super soft. The cleanser isn't drying, the toner really gets any leftover makeup off my skin without a hint of stinging or redness, and I love the cream.

Because I'm staring down the barrel of my mid-thirties I also purchased the Abyssine Eye Cream for day and night use. This eye cream is also awesome, I'd recommend it because it really helps my concealer go on smoothly in the AM. I also purchased the Abyssine serum which they have sadly discontinued. However, Kiehls has several other reasonably priced serums that I will switch to when I run out of what I currently am using.

So three cheers to Kiehls this great three piece set!

Here Comes the Sun

I am so ready for warm, spring weather and sunny days. I'm even more ready for summer vacations at the beach. It's not even like it's that cold here in Tennessee. The lowest it ever really gets is in the 30s, and that's mainly at night. The next few days have highs in the 50s. But I am over winter clothes. And tights. And heavy scarves. I even wore a (short) dress out in public today with a denim jacket. So take that, cold weather! Here are some pictures that I picked up off of Pinterest (which isn't helping AT ALL with my spring fever). How did I actually survive last year's strong winter in Vermont?






I can't wait to try some of these. And by some I really mean just the white dress with the pink blazer seeing as how some of these clothes are a bit out of my current price range. I at least already have the white dress. Now off to find a pink blazer.
