Ladies, a munted review:

There is something you need to know. I'm addicted to applying moisturizer on my lips. Perhaps the lab's environment is particularly dry but I find myself applying my lip balm every 20 minutes. It is a terrible habit to feel antsy when I don't have my chapstick around. I've given up on lip gloss because most of them are gooey, overtly sweet and not kiss-able. Since I will be kissing a certain boy very soon and my AWESOME friend Ming (who has no blog and therefore no link! No blog?! Gasp!) told me that I just had to had to try Aveda's lip shine. My friend Ming loves a great bargain but when she buys expensive things, it is because they are worth it. So I heeded her advice and bought one for myself.

Ladies, you also need one. It is subtly, oh so subtly shimmery. (Note, not 1997 shimmery) It is moisturizing, NOT gooey and has awesome names like Beetroot and Thyme bud. I got thyme bud. Priced at $14.50 a tube, it is a bit on the expensive side but ... eee! No gooey lip shine!

Aveda products are available in most Dosha spa stores in Portland.



It is 10.28pm and for the past hour or so I had been a flurry of picking up, finding and packing my things into my suitcase. Remembering all my medications, mountain gear, electrical adaptors, hotel infos, presents, chargers and odds and ends. I nearly forgot my unmentionables! They were the last to go in. I think my head may implode.. or explode.. whichever one happens first.


It is so surreal to think I'll see Aaron tomorrow, I'm so happy and excited!! I get to hug and kiss him. If you're able to hug and kiss your sig other, don't take it for granted. Sometimes I forget what he looks like and I have to close my eyes shut and imagine his face from an incident that makes me smile. There, a sprinkle of his eyes and a turn of his smile, my brain is able to conjure his face again. It is a sad thing to forget what his hugs and kisses are like. So hug him, hug him close and close your eyes.



I'm signing off for now! I will be bringing my laptop with my, so will be able to upload a photo here and there to tease all of you still in winter time. Keep in touch and stay healthy, warm and happy! See you in a few weeks!!
