I went camping at the beach last weekend with Mike and two of our friends from Seattle. The first night we were there I was playing in the surf and my ipod fell out of my pocket and into the ocean. Luckily Mike saw it and was able to find it. It’s now sitting in a bag of rice. I don’t know if it works or not, but I will be turning it on in a few days and seeing how it goes. Hopefully I will be able to use it and recover my pictures. I will save my long camping story until then.
Silver Creek Falls
Mike and I had a very exciting weekend. We decided to take a day trip up to Silver Falls on Saturday. We hiked around and enjoyed the water. I only rolled both of my ankles half a dozen times. At least I wasn’t wearing flip-flops like Mike was!
We’re going to be going camping this weekend on the coast. I’m incredibly happy the weather is finally becoming warm and enjoyable. I love being outside. I’m also still very very stoked about my trip to California at the end of June! More pics to come.

Younique Makeup Review
What a mother fucker.
Seriously.
But wait, that’s just my opinion. Let me convince you.
My sister decided she wanted to try out selling Younique and that was cool. I was excited that I would be able to play with new makeup. I LOVE NEW MAKEUP.
After we both got pretty damn stoked on it she ordered her start up kit for $100 and signed up to be a Independent Younique Presenter. Ok, whatever, every direct sales makeup line has a name for it’s sales team. NEW MAKEUP.
I finally sat down and put it on. On one eye. I wanted to see how it stood up to my beloved Sephora. I have their Color Anthology kit and I fucking love it. It is the meat and potatoes of my makeup collection.
I used a purple. So I picked out from Younique the closest light, medium, and dark purple color to compare it to Sephora. I don’t have color names for either of these, so tough titties. I also used their 3D lashes on one eye, THREE LAYERS, and my revlon photoready and an eyelash curler on the others.
I had to use a ridiculous amount of Younique to actually compare to the richness of ONE SWIPE of my Sephora. Younique is loose powder, Sephora is pressed powder. Also the 3D lashes tried to blind me. I’m pretty sure the “fluff” scratched my eyeball. I’ve been wearing mascara for 16 years, this isn’t my first rodeo.
Please forgive the mixed lighting and quality of photo’s. I used everything at my disposal to give you a first hand look at the comparison.
Can you tell a difference? I can’t. My sister couldn’t. My mother couldn’t. WHERE ARE MY 3D HOOKER EYELASHES?!
I’m pretty disappointed. Especially considering the amount of pigment I had to use from Younique vs Sephora. Younique is supposed to be pigment ONLY, but it went on light and was a pain in my ass to blend. A PAIN. Blending is supposed to be easy and smooth. Especially when you’re paying out the ass for a pot of pigment.
Oh yeah, and the 3D Lashes? It’s not mascara. I still had to use my OWN mascara. It should be an “Eyelash Enhancer.” I guess. It sure as fuck didn’t enhance mine.
Ignore the retarded look. I was trying to show off the eyelid. Also I have bad skin, who knew.
As you can see, it’s pretty fucking comparable.
BUT WAIT. WHATS THIS? The one on the right has a richer color?!
That’s because it’s fucking Sephora.
Mother. Fucking. Sephora.
Look that’s my whole face. I used their blusher for lip color. I mixed it with chapstick. I don’t know, I was experimenting. But there’s the whole look again.
EVERY PICTURE HAS SEPHORA ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
The Younique is on the side my hair is parted, in case you don’t know left from right. Yes, that’s where my saggy eye lid is, get over it.
Moral of the story? Don’t waste your money. Don’t get sucked into their pyramid scheme. Buy Sephora because it’s amazing and fair priced. Or if you’re rich, get MAC. It’s even more awesome.
And worth the money.
BONUS ORANGE PICTURE.
Vacation!
When I finally slow down enough to think about it, I really just cannot wait for my vacation to beautiful Santa Cruz.
I will get to see all of my friends who I’ve dearly been missing. Especially my better half, miss Katie.
She’s basically my favorite person in this whole world. Okay, she’s tied with Mike. But it’s close!
I can’t wait for the bonfires, the beach, the parties, the people. Just everything.
It’s going to be glorious.
Reus!
Have you played it?
I’ve given up on Kerbal Space Program. If I could re-gift it to someone else I would. I can definitely see how it can be fun for some people, but unfortunately I’m not one of them. I will stick to my little simulator/rpg style games. Besides, as my brother so eloquently puts it, the other games I own are just for me to scroll past before I play Terraria. Sadly, that’s true.
BUT
That is not the point of this post! I’ve been playing Reus again lately. At first I was a bit put off by the timed session thing, but they have a great tutorial and it’s pretty fun to play. I do get frustrated when I’m SO SO SO FUCKINJG CLOSE to beating a goal and then my dudes to go sleep. I wish there was a button that would give me just a few extra minutes. That would probably take the fun out of it.
If you haven’t played Reus though, I definitely recommend it. It’s a fun God-style simulator. Sort of. If there’s a demo out there, find it, download it. Or watch some video’s. It’s strangely addicting and after 25 hours I’m still finding new things and new ways to play.
Entertainment for 25 hours? Totally worth $9.99 to me. Check it out on Steam!
I really need to start playing some multi-player games. Any recommendations?
Also, I’ve been totally swooning over Dave Thomas. The musician. Who kills it at accordion.
Enjoy!
