I'd also like to label this one as "Why I love Nose Strips"
You know, those white things where you slosh your nose with water, peel the magic strip from the plastic backing, and SMACK. Onto your nose.
Wait.
Wait.
Wait.
AND RIP IT OFF!
What glory ensues! Look at all of the hair and dirt I have just relieved my nose of! How happy it can now be as it breathes inside and out! My pores sing great choruses of clear freedom! This is the day that Biore has made! I will rejoice and be blackhead free in it! (and then a few more lines about entering gates with thanksgiving, into courts with praise...and now I'm just stuck on choir memories. Ahhh Roanoke.)
Last year around this time, I was squandering Pinterest for the latest and greatest beauty craze. Lo! A DIY blackhead strip! Never buy from the store again!
Can this be? Is it really as good as everyone writes?
It's on the internet...nobody has given it poor reviews...I MUST EXPERIMENT!
And so I bought milk, gelatin, popsicle sticks, and plastic containers for mixing. Oh and I borrowed my roommate/best friend's face. AND WE SET TO WORK
On what was arguably the worst endeavor I've ever set forth to accomplish. I highly recommend against said facial peel unless you like the feeling of ripping off layers of skin from your face over and over. If that's your sort of thing, then by all means! Find the recipe! Rip off skin!
I'm sure it would actually be quite a fantastical thing for Halloween if you were looking to create an aura of skin peeling.
Or you could just go outside and get some sun. But who does that these days? Pft. Not me. Skin of milk, this one.

Experimental Adventures
PICTURE YOURSELF IN A BOAT ON A RIVER...
TAKE A DEEP BREATH IN..2..3..4.. EXHALE..2..3..4..INHALE..2..3..4..EXHALE..2..3..4..
COUNTING IN PRIME NUMBERS ONLY, IMAGINE YOU ARE LAYING ON THE BEACH. YOU ARE ALONE IN THE WORLD, SAVE THE CRASHING OF THE WAVES. AS YOU LOOK AROUND AFTER WAKING FROM A LONG, DEEP NAP, YOU COME TO REALIZE THAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY AT A LAKE. THE OCEAN YOU WERE LISTENING TO HAS TRANSFORMED. BIRDS SING THROUGH THE AIR AS YOU MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE DOCK. YOUR FISHING ROD HAS BEEN CALLING TO YOU ALL SUMMER. IS IT A WEDNESDAY? IT DOESN'T MATTER, BECAUSE YOU ARE STILL ALONE. NATURE HAS SWALLOWED YOU AND MADE YOU WILD.
THUNDER CRASHES FROM THE WEST. YOU RUN INSIDE THE CABIN WHICH HAS JUST APPEARED BEHIND YOU. ITS RUSTIC CHARM MAKES YOU TRUST THE INSIDE WHICH HAS CLEARLY BEEN ABANDONED FOR YEARS. AS YOU MAKE IT INSIDE, THE SKIES OPEN UP AND RAIN BOUNCES OFF THE SURFACE OF THE LAKE. NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO TAKE A NAP, YOU REALIZE. COZYING UP IN BED, YOU DOZE OFF TO THE SOUND OF THE NOW VERY NEAR STORM.
WHEN YOU AWAKEN, YOU RETREAT TO THE DOWNSTAIRS AND PRACTICE YOGA. YOU HAVE OPENED THE WINDOWS OF THE CABIN TO ALLOW THE FRESH RAIN AIR TO WAFT THROUGH THE LIVING AREA. YOU TUNE THE TELEVISION TO THE PHILLIES GAME AND LISTEN TO TOM MCCARTHY AND WHEELS VOICE THE PLAYS. AFTER THE PHILLIES HAVE WON THE GAME, YOU STRETCH OUT ON THE FLOOR AND OPEN UP YOUR FAVORITE BOOK. YOU BECOME LOST IN THE CHARACTERS AND IMAGINE YOURSELF FIGHTING DEATH EATERS AT HOGWARTS.
LIFE CANNOT GET BETTER. YOU ARE AT PEACE WITH THE WORLD, AND THE WORLD IS AT PEACE WITH YOU.
