I am stumped. I'm more stumped than Stumped Stumpidty StumpedvonStumped.
In HS I knew EXACTLY what I wanted to do with my life. Become a sports journalist. I did everything under the sun to help prepare me for it. But since I graduated?
Yeah...that is another story. I spent 4+ years knowing I was going to be a beat reporter for the Yankees. I envisioned myself in the locker-room after the World Series win, celebrating and interviewing the players. Trying to not ask the stupid "How do you feel?" question. I and everyone who knew or knows me knows that was plan of action.
But at graduation, during the Key Note that featured some whack job talking about turtles having sex and trains (yes that is all I remember) I thought 2 things:
1) What the hell did she smoke before she came here and why is she special?
2) Why do I want to go into such a selfish occupation?
Because really, who is benefiting from my writing about a baseball game. Not to mention I feared baseball games would feel like work not fun.
So I took some Criminal Justice courses in college, they looked like fun.
And I fell in love. I love my major. I love learning new things. I love hearing war stories and learning things that make me have a mental OHEMGEE moments. I love it.
And that is great and all but now what do I do?
After a forensics class, I asked my professor what the occupation of forensics is like. She talked. I listened and then she asked me, "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?"
Besides the obvious, "in debt from student loans". I told her with a job I loved and a man I loved. Yes, she wanted to know both personally and career.
She then asked "Well do you want a family?"
Yes.
She told me a field in forensics is demanding. You have to live close to a lab. Nevermind, first find a lab that will hire you. And its not just me who I'd have to think about.
Its not as though its impossible to be married and have a family (and if you know me, you know I love kids and want at least 4!) and be a forensics scientist but would be hard.
So I put that idea on the back burner. Now what can I do and work to with my degree?
That is where I'm at now. A sophmore in college and don't know what the hell to do with my degree. I've been thinking lately of federal agencies (they visit our school!) and doing inside work there. But honestly I don't know.
And I hate not having a plan. One day I want to become an attorney. The next, a detective. The next, working within a federal agency.
And then do I want to go to law school? Become an ADA (Assistant District Attorney, a prosecutor)?
Just too many ideas and questions. Perhaps I should see the rumored occupational counselor that my school has.
Do I want to go to grad school and major in forensics?! I do enjoy forensics! But I do hate math and I do hate how forensics major's workload is equal to that of a pre-med student...
Help?

Lather Your Lids with Magic!
Hello lovelies!
Today I'll be doing a post on a Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion! While for some reading this, its no news but for the newly obsessed? This stuff is AMAZING.
What is it? Its an eyeshadow base. Whats an eyeshadow base? Think of it as a bonding agent, or glue, for your eyeshadow. It will help your eyeshadow adhere better to your eyelid, prevent it from creasing and even enhance the color. PHEW! It does a lot!
But why Urban Decay? While there are some drugstore dupes (L'Oreal Decrease) they don't quite match up to the big daddy, that being Urban Decay! Another option for an eyeshadow base is concealer. Yet, I personally like having an actual base. Because while concealer is multi-purpose, bases aren't! Catch my drift?
So anyways back to the UDPP and what I love about it!

So anyways back to the UDPP and what I love about it!
- Makes my eyeshadow last all day and not crease
- Enhances the eyeshadow's color like its no one's business
- Moisturizing for my dry lids (at least for me!)
The only thing I don't like? The price! One bottle will set you back $17 but from what I hear, they last forever!
Love the cute signature genie bottle packaging!
New and improved wand! Old one was straight and unable to grab all product!
Sorry the font is small!! But I think your can make it out! The shadows I used (names are the super small text. Oops!) are All That Glitters on top and Cork! And UDPP = Urban Decay Primer Potion!
UDPP can be found at Sephora stores, Sephora.com and UrbanDecay.com and retails for $17. Jumbo versions are available! (I sound like an infomercial!)
I give it 4.7 stars out of 5! I take away .3 for price! Haha! After using I see why this is a cult classic for makeup artists and makeup junkies!!
Are you fan of lathering your lids with magic? Prefer something else? Do tell!
PS: Any ideas for a personal post? I'm on break and pretty boring right now ;)

Sneak Preview!
Hi lovelies! I thought today I'd do my first beauty post of 2010! And show a few products that I have picked up recently, like a haul but I like to think of it is a sneak preview of products that I'll also be reviewing soon!
Believe me, when I say that I ONLY buy this much makeup around Christmas and my birthday (in May), this is not typical! I'm a broke college student with no job right now!
One of the things that I asked my mom for was the MAC Naughty Noir eye bag. I love Blacktrack Fluidline and being that I'm a black liner junkie, I wanted a back up! And I wanted to try a pigment and I love the LE (limited edition) pigment it came with, in Shimmertime. It also came with a 209 SE which is great so I don't need to bring my full size brush! And an adorable bag (which I keep in my purse!) and a mini-zoom lash.
I also wanted to get some good E/S (eyeshadows!) for everyday wear! I'm all into the neutrals!
From L to R: Shimmertime pigment, Vanilla, Cork, Woodwinked and Modelette (LE)
Being that for the past few months I have had no blush, foundation or concealer, they were top on my list! AND OMG. WHEN THE MAC LADY SHOWED ME THE CONCEALER I LEGIT THOUGHT IT WAS A TUB OF WHITE OUT!
Studio Sculpt Concealer (NC15), Studio Fix Powder + Foundation (NW15) and Pinch O' Peach blush.
And my lip collection (haha that doesn't sound gross, bahaha lip collection...) wasn't that much bigger than my face collection! So I picked up 2 lipsticks in Hue and Angel and Underage lipglass
L to R: Angel, Hue and Underage
PHEW! Swatch time! I know my eyeshadow swatches suck so if you need a better swatch click HERE for Temptalia's MAC permanent eyeshadow swatches!
L to R: Woodwinked, Cork, Modelette and Vanilla
From top to bottom: Underage, Hue and Angel and Pinch O' Peach blush
Finally, I wanted to organize my makeup so I picked up this cute little drawer system from Target for $4.99 and I have one drawer for eye products, face and lips!
So tell me below (or tweet!) what you'd like to see a review of! I know I will be doing a review on Urban Decay's Primer Potion soon!

Motivation
I thought I'd do an EXTREMELY personal post. What I am about to say, well many people don't know about me. But I'm hoping spilling myself out onto this post will motivate me for my first resolution: lose weight.
I'm 19 and over weight. By no means morbidly obese or obese. I have just always had a little extra to love. Its something I have struggled with.
But I need motivation. And here it is. Though I'll never see my 6th grade class again, my goal is to be able to wish to see them again and make them eat their words.
When I was 11 and 12, I was in the 6th grade at a new school. My parents were divorced, we had to move in with my grandma because we couldn't afford to live in our childhood house, I switched schools and left my friends. And much more.
But what do I remember most? My weight.
Mind you in 6th grade I was ACTIVE. I still had some little baby fat. 20 lbs over weight, if anything. I played soccer, basketball, track, swam. But to cope with family drama I also binged.
So there I was. New girl at school. As if that wasn't bad enough, my life was about to be a living hell.
EVERY DAY that school year I was made fun of. Every single fat joke and comment you can think of, was said to me. Here are some examples:
"WIDEN THE DOOR, CHELSEA IS COMING"
"I THOUGHT WE HAD A NEW STUDENT NOT A COW"
"DON'T BREAK THE CHAIR, YOU ELEPHANT"
"WAS THAT AN EARTHQUAKE? NO IT WAS CHELSEA"
I EVEN HAD A SIGN PUT ON MY BACK that said "I'M FAT". And no one told me about it until the day was almost over. This wasn't friendly teasing, it was flat out harassment. I ignored it and talked to the principal but I was told "BOYS WOULD BE BOYS". I was already emotionally unstable but this?!
I kid you not when EVERY DAY this happened. I was treated like AN ANIMAL not a girl. For just having some baby fat.
Do you know what thats like?! I doubt my mom or family knows the extent of it. Its damn embarrassing!
Every thing I did was somehow related back to my weight.
Believe me, its no accident that for 7th grade I was at a new school in a new state.
Now I'm 19, still struggling with weight, partially to blame to my college lifestyle and thyroid. But thank God, since 6th grade I haven't heard things like that.
Now its "GOD, YOU'D BE SUCH A KNOCKOUT...if you lost weight!"
"Too bad you don't have a pretty body to match your pretty face!"
So, here it goes.
My goal this year is to lose weight and be in the best shape ever. So much so that if I were to go back to the 6th grade I could kick their asses and make them eat shit and make them feel like asses. I'd like to mentally "WOW" those sons of bitches.

HELLOOO 2010!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I hope that this year treats you kindly and brings happiness to you and your loved ones!
I thought to start of the year I'd do some resolutions!
1) LOSE WEIGHT! I'm tired of people saying to me I need a better body to match my "pretty face". I know I need to! I have my thyroid regulated and I'm planning on losing 60ish lbs. I know its A LOT! But God has graced me with a 6 foot frame to spread the extra weight and it would put me in a healthy area! I actually don't like giving an actual number of pounds to lose but honestly? I don't own a scale, I'm gonna go by how happy I am with myself! WORK OUT AGAIN!!!
2) SLEEP! This semester I probably slept a good 4 hours (if that!) every night! And that hurt my grades! I was not retaining everything while I was a zombie! I'm going to aim for 7-8 hours a night! This should also help me lose weight! Sleep is key to weight loss and happiness!
3) GO BACK TO STRAIGHT A'S! I did it all last year but because of my horrible sleep patterns, my grades dropped! Not horrendously but they weren't all A's which is something I take a lot of pride in!
That is all I can think of right now! Oh and maybe find myself a guy! Its so hard being surrounding by friends who already are in long term relationships and completely in love!
Again, HAPPY 2010!
Thank you and ♥ you!

Its Snowing Paper!
Hello loves!
I don't know about you, but I just finished my finals! (Well ok, not technically I have to do a sign language final on Monday which involves signing but done with written finals!)
And I made about 350 notecards. Yup. So what to do with all these notecards? Uhm...make snowflakes...DUH!
So here are my easy steps to make a paper snow flake out of notecards!
**DISCLAIMER: YOU MAY CUT YOUR FINGER WHILE DOING THIS. NO, REALLY, I ALMOST DID BECAUSE THIS IS FREAKING HARD ON SUCH A SMALL SCALE!!! THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS! :) **
(Sorry its the law student in me)
1. STEP ONE: Locate your index cards! Oh!
2. STEP TWO: Fold your index card in this manner to create a square! Yeah uhm, just look at the picture ;)
3. STEP THREE: Cut and discard of the non folded side!
4. STEP FOUR: Wait why am I numbering and then saying the step number when it obviously corresponds...ANYWHOZIE. Fold triangle like so! I like to use a bone folder from Martha Stewart. No really, it makes a great crease! Haha!
(In liu of bone folder, a pen works!)
5. STEP FIVE: Begin to cut out triangle like shapes. Or any. Triangles are easy for those of us who consider stick figures to be art. DO NOT FOLD FURTHER BECAUSE YOU WILL CUT YOURSELF AND THE SNOWFLAKE. TRUST ME.
6. STEP SIX: Unfold and Tada!
BONUS! What to do with all those little cut out pieces? Why slip them into a special someone's Christmas card. Special someone being someone you don't care for or who hates confetti and messes! Haaha I kid!!
Last year my best friend and I covered my room in full size snowflakes, they're much easier to make on a larger scale!!
Paper snowflakes are a great way to bring Christmas cheer to your dorm room when your school decides to ban Christmas trees and Christmas lights...!

Holiday Tag!
Hello Lovelies!
I thought I'd celebrate being half way done with my finals by doing a cute holiday tag going around YT! I tag YOU! Either as a blog or video response, I'd love to see! Christmas is my favorite time of the year and I love hearing other people's traditions because they vary so much and its so interesting!
1. Favorite holiday destination?
HOME! I personally think its stupid to go away to some place exotic for the holidays (unless you have family there!). The holidays are about being with your family at your home!
2. Any family traditions?
Well most, almost all, of these from when I was 9 and under because after 9 years, my parents were divorced and Christmases are different every year!
* Christmas Eve:
My family and I would always go to my Aunt and Uncles for a good old Italian feast with my Uncle's famous meatballs stealing the show. THEY ARE THE BEST MEATBALLS EVEEEER. We'd open the presents "Santa" left there a bit early! And enjoy the company on my dad's side of the family!
We'd then go to "Elvis'" house. (Any of ya from New Jersey and know what I'm talking about?!) It wasn't actually Elvis' house but rather an impersonator who would go OVERBOARD with the Christmas lights on his mansion! It was freaking INSANE! Millions of lights and bumper to bumper traffic but it looked awesome!
We'd finish of the night with the late night candlelight church service, which are always my fav!
* Christmas:
No one could sleep, haha I still can't! Even though I'm a snoop and know everything I'm getting! Its still exciting! Anyways Santa would always leave our stockings our bedroom doorknobs! So when we woke up at like 4 0r 5 in the morning, we'd have our stockings to go through and occupy us until our parents woke up! (My mom still does that for me haha!)
Then we'd pretty much spend the whole morning opening presents before going to my Grandma's for my mom's side of the family. My mom is one of 5 so there'd be lots of presents Santa would leave at my Grandma's! My Grandma and mom both still sign everything from Santa! : )
3. Favorite ornament of decoration?
I love my stocking! It was hand stitched by my Mom! I def. want to do that for my kids, one day! I have too many ornaments that I love!
4. What are you doing for the holidays?
Spending it here in NY at my Grandma's since it would be silly me for travel (which is like 5 hours away) home to spend Christmas Eve and day at home and then come back to NY to visit with my fam! But my Grandma doesn't like to decorate from Christmas, boo! Not even a tiny tree!
5.Are you a late or early Christmas shopper?
Early! Gotta get those deals early!
6. Who usually cooks holiday dinners?
My family, though I once cooked a kick ass turkey for Thanksgiving!
7. Have you ever gone Christmas caroling?
I think a few times with my youth group but I HAVE been in a few Christmas pagents at my church and school. I always wanted to be Mary but was always an angel. Hahaha!
8. Do you live where it snows?
Yeah! Northeast, baby! I love white Christmases!
9. One thing that makes you happiest at Christmas?
Family! Christmas music, decorations, lights, movies, everything! Even the malls, haha!
10. What do you want most for Christmas?
Of course, world peace and for my family and friends to be happy, healthy and safe! But a new TV, some makeup and DVDs wouldn't hurt! (See a few posts back lol! I did the wishlist tag)
11. I'm adding this...Favorite Christmas movies?
ELF. The Santa Clause I (and one only!) Peaunt's Christmas, Its a Wonderful Life, Rudolph, the Bishops' Wife, the classics except Frosty. I saw it for the first time a couple years ago and it left me saying WTF!?
PHEW THAT WAS LONG! Haha sorry!
Childhood house! So thats a big "YES" to the snow question!
My dog's, mine and my Mom's!
Tell me in the comments if you're gonna do this!
