Get out! Two posts this week! I suppose since I’m once again sitting in front of a computer all day, I could blog more often. Here are a few Things that have been making me happy lately.
1. MAC Fast Response Eye Cream You guys, this stuff RULES. I’ve never seen any results from any of the miracle creams I’ve tried. I just assumed that they’re all bunk, and I may as well stick to my generic Olay. But a couple of weeks ago, upon the overly exuberant recommendation of a friend, I decided to give this a try. I was super shocked to feel a difference within minutes. The skin around my eyes REALLY IS softer, less line-y and less saggy/papery. I just read some reviews of this product, however, and it seems not everyone agrees with me, so your mileage may vary. I’m just sayin’, I’ve never used anything that I would bother recommending to anyone, and I kind of want to start buying this as a gift for birthdays and holidays. It’s that good.
2. Hyperbole and a Half After recommending a $30 tube of girly lotion to you, I’m pleased to bring you something even more delightful and absolutely free. This blog is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen on the internet. Really. If this post doesn’t make you cry from laughter, I’m not sure we can be friends. If it does, I also recommend this one and this one.
3. I am admittedly not one of those Music People who always know about bands you’ve never heard of, so please don’t take this recommendation as though from a Music Person, but I’m super digging The Broken Bells lately. They’re a good summer soundtrack. A Music Person would tell you that they include members of Danger Mouse and The Shins, but a Music Person probably would have recommended this band to you at least 6 months ago.
4. The This American Life iPhone ap. When I grow tired of the news at about hour 2.5 of my commute, I listen to a few stories, and all is right with the world. I freaking LOVE people’s stories, you know? Should you be in the mood for some good radio right now, that most recent episode about Recordings for Someone Else is really good.
UPDATED TO ADD:
Not really related to this post, but last night Clark *almost* figured out the dog door and I got this cute video. Enjoy!
I just so happen to need to go to MAC this weekend for some eyebrow filler and so… I will SO be buying that eye cream. Because I’m not getting any younger and my eyes are getting kinda wrinkly. Thanks for the rec!
Love the blog recommendation! HA!
I’m excited to check out all the recommendations, but I have to say the video was my favorite part. He’s so freaking adorable! More, more, more!
Hey there!
So totally agreed on Broken Bells! I moved from them into Mumford and Sons! I can’t get enough of them. Good starters to get hooked on are Little Lion Man and The Cave.
Glad all is so much fun! Yeah summer!
sizz: let me know what you think!
beth: right? I just have to think about that pain scale and i start to giggle. “I didn’t know that about giraffes.” HAHAHAHA!
Jill: I’ll post more videos more often. He is so hilarious these days!
Kelly T: Thanks for the music rec! I’ll download those right away!
Ah what a cute video! I can’t wait to see more of Clark, it was lovely to hear his voice too!
