i love cassie & marissa

because of the rain this afternoon, i ordered lunch in. despite the confusion of the phone, my food arrived from tiffin wallah. i have been craving indian food for awhile and it hit the spot today.

marissa came and met cassie and i after work tonight and we walked over to milk and cookies in the west village. upon opening the door we were greeted with the sweet aroma of cookies. cassie got a pecan bar, smores cookie, salted oatmeal surprise, double chocolate cookie and a glass of milk. i ordered a chocolate mint cookie, a salted oatmeal surprise, caramel chocolate chip cookie and a glass of milk. and marissa got a chocolate mint cookie. impressive huh?

one is never enough

i think we all agree that the pecan bar was the hit

then the salted caramel surprise (oatmeal and white chocolate chips)

then the chocolate mint

i think the double chocolate and the caramel chocolate chip tie

then the smores cookie (quite a let down)

i would say for a chocolate cookie or a chocolate chip cookie i find both levain bakery and city bakery more scrumptous. but i would go back for another pecan bar or a salted oatmeal surprise. and a glass of fresh milk with your cookie a nice touch.

when we got home, marissa and i watched the breakfast club. neither of us had ever seen it before, can you believe it?! we loved it. i also love molly ringwald. how the heck did i leave her off my awesome gingas list. perhaps it's time for list number 2. redhead power.

i love her lipstick in this movie. it's a perfect everydat color for a redhead. now just how do i get my hands on that? and she looks so glam in the pale rose color. why do i feel like that color doesn't suit me? you showed me molly. 

girls nights are the best.

"I just wanna be myself, 
And I want you to love me for who I am. 
I just wanna be myself, 
And I want you to know, I am my hair."

i couldn't agree more. my hair defines me. red and proud.

i have always always been a lip gloss queen. one birthday in high school i got 50 different lip glosses as presents. and slowly but surely i used them all up. although i loved the gloss, i was not a fan of bright color. lately though i've been loving the bright fun lips i've been seeing. i have even heard that some boys don't like kissing waxy, sticky lips. and my momma says that glossy lips are out. so its time for a change.

in march, when we (meaning bfa kids) were in new york, we visited mac (as in mac cosmetics design office) and i walked away with two very colorful lipsticks (fo free). they have been in my bag since along with all the shades of lipstick i have accumulated as part of clinque free gifts each year. nick dared me to try out all my different shades this summer in nyc. and i've taken him up on the challenge. yesterday i rocked a deep dark red that seemed to be a hit with the men in east harlem. although, i'm pretty sure most of those men are fans of anything that walks their way.

today, i'm trying coral.
and if you're a ginger fearful of rocking a rad lip, click here for some motivation.

growing up as a redhead in the nineties, it's a given that the little mermaid was my favorite disney princess. i distinctly remember my ariel themed birthday party. ariel made being redheaded alright. and then us gingers cheered when disney gave us another disney princess to idolize. amy adams made a lovely giselle. and enchanted was filled with some memborable tunes.

 

but then tonight i sat down and watched anatastia. and guess what?? she is totally a redhead too. but who ever talks about her? i am a fan. and the little puppy is so stinkin cute.
