Easy on the E's, Just Sayin'

I would just like to remind everyone that there is no "e" in the word "ridiculous."
"Rediculous" is not an existing word in the English language, though possibly one on the bottom of a Revlon nail polish bottle.
Spelling errors are common, and happen to the best of us. But in the event of calling something ridiculous and spelling it wrong in the process just makes you look more ridiculous than what/whomever you were calling "rediculous" in the first place.
Especially as you enter high school and college. Just sayin'.


Another word that doesn't have an "e" in it would be the slang term, "ho." Reason being, the word derives from the other word "whore;" referring to a person of similar behavior or occupation. The ever-commonly confused "hoe" refers to the gardening tool.
So if you do stoop to that level, at least spell it right. Otherwise you're painfully unoriginal insult will lose even more potency, and in effect make you look ridiculous. Just sayin'.

The Big Pink

In celebration of my new single-hood, I bought myself a Pocket Rocket.


His name is James, and apparently he's some type of 2004 edition emo kid. I thought those were extinct, but James persists.
Despite the clever packaging, Urban Decay has blessed us with a pretty rockin' product here; as they so often do. The quality I'm probably most impressed with is the consistency, which I'm most finicky on when it comes to lipgloss. Not too thin to the point that you have to reapply it every five minutes, and not so thick it could double as a gluestick.
I also like that it just gives off a nice flush shimmer, not a chrome sheen that highlights every crease in your lips.


Oh hey, did I mention he's holographic?
