Potatoes Gonna Potate

Well, one day in and I've been informed that this blog is trivial and impersonal. What makes it so trivial, though?  I feel as though my ultimate goal is to encourage health and wellness (we counseling majors do love to say wellness). If some form of that comes in a pink bottle that smells of floral notes, then a hasty label that attempts to negate any value belonging to what I say means very little to me. Clearly this comment was not so trivial as to simply bounce from my brain and into infinite space, and I have probably over-thought the statement. I wonder what would remove some of the frivolousness. Perhaps if I found a random quote related to beauty and claimed that it was from Descartes I would have some value (" I Urban Decay Naked3 Palette,  ergo, beautiful").

Some persons just have to minimize others to give themselves clout. It reminds me of when I was reading Mirror Mirror Off the Wall, and all of the backlash Kjersten Gruys faced because she wanted to be a feminist, and still try new make up and lash extensions. Oh my lands, the hypocrisy she displayed by. . . liking things?

Maybe I should have come at this from a darker angle; those princesses of darkness do have a distinct appeal. Assuming distinct now means that they all sound exactly the same (at least, from my experience with Facebook posts bragging about their respective darknesses). But look what I've done there, I've gone and naysayed upon the dear princesses. I'm sure there's a reason I've trivialized them. . . maybe it's that I secretly wish I was the queen of dark, mysterious appeal, and in coping with that I scorn their personal declarations of being the darkest of them all. But I'll admit that.

Maybe I should have started my writing in skinny jeans. Rosewater And Denim? Hmm. Sounds like I'm trying to be too country. Rosewater and leather pants? Bitch wants to be Pat Benatar. Rosewater and yoga pants? Now I'm not able to expand beyond my white stereotype. Lord only knows what would have happened had I been wearing a skirt.

So now that I have given this tiny comment too much attention, I'm going to list some of my favorite things, as they come to mind, not in order of importance:

1) Olive oil and egg hair masks.
2) Skeletal watches.
3) Lip Balm (any and every variety, but particularly Blistex).
4) Ulta Rewards
5) Yoga
6) Nine West shoes
7) Coconut oil (for cooking and beauty- more on this gem later)

I could go on, but I'm sufficiently calmed for the moment.
