I started my day with a green t-shirt, some leggings, and a jean jacket but I had a meeting today and I put on black cuffed pants, a lace bralette, a black suit jacket, and black converse and mistakenly looked at Chriselle Lim’s Instagram account before heading to my meeting. Head desk. Why did I do that? She’s on there wearing that stunning Chanel Tweed White Tunic that launched with the Spring/Summer 2021 Collection (not the Cruise Collection which was gag!). She also, has an Tiktok of herself wearing it and she looks a m a z i n g! That tunic was made for her body. Now I feel like a frump! Let me go hide in a corner! Ha 😀

Ugh…! I do wish I was tall and super slim. That tunic is made for a body type that’s tall! I’m still over here struggling with the leggings situation, people! there’s no way I’m wearing a tunic that long without it dragging all over the floor!

No one remembers us little humans in the fashion world! I’m browsing maxi dresses right now for Summer and every single one I’ve seen so far is way too long for me. Anyone have access to the same mushrooms Alice did to make her taller?

But seriously, this is your daily reminder to just embrace the yourself. Tall, short, skinny, fluffy, love yourself no matter what.

I may need a step stool to get to the high shelves in the kitchen and the pantry but screw it!

It’s true that you have to be yourself because everyone else is taken….!

One exception…

If you’re offered the chance to be Batman.

Always be Batman.

Or, I mean, if some crossroads demon offers you a chance to be Chriselle Lim in a white Chanel Tunic totally take advantage and do it!

I’m kidding. Just be you and love every version of yourself!

Have a good day all you beautiful people.

I’ll be back later as I gotta write an e-mail to Chanel about the challenges short humans face on the daily. ;-D

Beauty confession! I’m a nail biter and a picker….! The most disgusting habit in the world I have is I bite my nails. It’s gross! But even worst than nail biting is nail picking. I get the worst hangnails and I have absolutely no issues just ripping them off. My masochist side totally had no issues with just ripping a hangnail until I’m bleeding. It’s a nasty habit.

I know last year when COVID hit it totally cured me of nail biting. I mean instantly, I became so much more aware of touching my face, biting my nails, etc…! A year later and I’m beyond disciplined about touching my face, rubbing my eyes, and most importantly biting my nails. I simply don’t do it anymore.

Hangnails are a different story.

That’s a habit that got a lot worst with the pandemic.

I wanted to compare Urban Decay Riff and New Riff Eyeshadow and swatch the shades side by side for you today as I got quite a few e-mails asking me about the new shade versus the old one. Many of you know I really love Riff. Whenever Urban Decay Eyeshadow Singles went on sale for $10 bucks I was chronically collecting pots of Riff. At the time I felt like I was being ridiculous but now that the shade is discontinued I’m ever so glad I decided to hoard a few backups. It’s one of my favorite brown shades and really does something beautiful for my eyes.

Urban Decay recently relaunched their Eyeshadow Collection in new, clear compacts but also, they launched a wide variety of new shades and have done away with many fan favorites in the process. You can still get a few of them on sale at urbandecay.com (including Riff) but both Sephora and Ulta have officially sold out.

One of the shades I was most curious in the new line was Urban Decay New Riff Eyeshadow.

Jump ahead for a comparison and swatches of Riff and New Riff and see which you love more.
