Things I need to buy-- got any recs?

 Dorothy got a $10 hairbrush that has made her slick back pony tail dreams come true. She borrowed one from a friend at dance when we all had to improvise between convention classes and competition dances and said she has the hair she had always wanted. So easy to make her happy! Sometimes.


The other day, Minnie and I spent THREE HOURS at the Apple store getting the cameras in my (brand new!) phone replaced. They just... stopped working. It was so weird. And! The store kept telling me it would just be 20 more minutes, so we stayed and omggggggggg. I wish they would have just said my phone would be ready in THREE HOURS. Minnie was fun, and we played lots of I spy and made rainbow loom bracelets with our fingers. No pics of that because I didn't have my freaking phone, but here's the last pic I took before the cameras quit


What the heck is a phone without a camera, anyway? I need to be able to buy coffee with my face, you know?

Minnie also had to come to class with me because ONCE AGAIN it took TWO doctor visits to correctly diagnose an infection **melting emoji**


Things I need:

Seamless underwear that I can wear with leggings and tight shorts-- any recs?

A lipstick that won't blend into the lines around my mouth and is also hydrating-- any brands you love?

Shoe liners that don't show so I can wear a couple pairs of spring flats-- I am having a hard time finding any that are truly no-show-- any recs?


Please enjoy this 30 second clip of Dorothy's trio from the other weekend (why yes, I was too cheap to pay for the whole vid) and appreciate what a bubbly, perky biker gang member she is.

  1. I wear the Lululemon Invisiwear line, the thongs and the bikinis - both are no-show under leggings/ skirts/ what have you. They often are sold in a three or five pack, which is nice.
    I just recently discovered a new L'oreal lipstick, since it appears my beloved Maybelline Ultimatte has been discontinued (WHY WHY WHY). I'm not sure of its performance level yet but it isn't drying.

  2. LOVE the video!!!
    Yes, what is a phone without a camera??? Glad you got your fixed but OMG three hours would have killed me.

  3. Maybe TMI but you asked- I exclusively wear thongs. I wear leggings a ton, and never have to worry at all about lines showing!

  4. I don't have answers to any of your questions. I don't care if people see my socks (socks are the point), if someone is paying attention enough to see pantylines, that is their problem.

    But! Lipstick. I basically just want to be Taylor Swift, so I give you every lipstick TayTay has ever worn: https://www.cosmopolitan.com/style-beauty/beauty/g68154646/taylor-swift-lipsticks/

  5. I love Kulfi Lip oil--it's more of a stain than a lipstick, but super emollient and it feels luxurious. Three hours at Apple? I'd have lost my mind!

    Would Flat Socks work in your flats? They're sort of like an innersole but act more like a sock.
    Never wait when they say 20 minutes - it's always a lie.
