I have bought the Say Yes to Tomatoes Daily Facial Cleanser and Daily Facial Moisturizer, Say Yes to Cucumbers Facial Wipes and Daily Facial Cleanser. I think I have a problem. I love them so far. They leave my skin feeling so nice. And the facial wipes take off makeup (even though I rarely wear any, when I do it comes right off).<br />
<br />
I haven't been blogging lately because of school. I'm drowned in homework and I'm a huge procrastinator. I still have a lot of homework to finish. But, so far it's all going well.<br />
<br />
I was thinking of doing Review Wednesdays where I review products like facial cleansers, makeup, etc. It's just an idea, I'm not sure about it yet.<br />

I went shopping with my mom for the first time in years today. We went to Barnes and Noble, Yankee Candle, and Bath & Body Works. She bought me stuff. :) haha. I got the second book in <i>The Hunger Games</i> trilogy, <i>Catching Fire</i>, <i>The Last Song</i> by Nicholas Sparks, a cute, little penguin bookmark, various candles and a cute candle basket from Yankee Candle, air fresheners from Bath & Body Works and a Vanilla Bean Noel body lotion, and a cute snowman candle holder. I would say today was a good day. <br />

I bought the<i> Say Yes to Tomatoes Daily Pore Scrub</i> a few days ago and I've been using it ever since. I feel like it has improved my skin, it looks a lot better than it did before. My face isn't as oily as before and it feels so soft after I use this. I love it. I'd definitely recommend it.<br />

I had to do my hair quickly and that ended up badly. I didn't put any eyeshadow on. I didn't put on lipstick. Plus my face was all puffy because I didn't use my cucumber wipes. My classes aren't my favorites. Although I'm looking forward to English. It's only the second day back and I'm already tired of the work!! Today was just a bad day. It'll get better, I hope.<br>
Sorry, this is just a small rant about my day.</p>
<p>I'll be back to normal tomorrow. Good day/night to all!</p>

<p>I give <i>The Hunger Games</i>. 10 out of 5 stars. :)</p>

I love to read and I have for all my life (well it started when I was 4). It's a great past time and books can teach you many things. I went to Barnes and Noble today and I had no idea what I wanted to buy. I was walking around looking at books for about an hour and a half when I stumbled across <i>The Hunger Games</i> by Suzanne Collins. I've heard it's a good book but I want to see for myself. The second one I bought is <i>The Blind Side</i> by Michael Lewis. I saw the movie and it was great. So I thought that I should read the book and compare it to the movie. I'm eager to get started on these two. :) I'll write what I think about them when I finish.<br />
Are there any other books that you think are great reads?<br />
xoxo,<br />

I, personally, don't believe so. I know a great number of people who don't believe it but I also know a number of people that do. My little sister, for example, is terrified. She thinks it's going to end and I keep telling her it's not. I may not know if it is or not, no one does, but I don't like seeing her scared and I don't want this year to be ruined for her because she's living in fear.<br />
<br />
What do you think? 2012: Real or Fake?<br />
<br />
Much love,<br />

Twists can range from being cute and simple to extravagant and elegant. I usually just twist my bangs up because I haven't trimmed them (I seriously need to). Beautylish has an article about twists:<br />

Quite a few people say that but since I'm graduating in 4 and a half months (SO EXCITING/SCARY!!) I figured I'll have more time on my hands to do things. So my New Years Resolutions are as followed:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Be healthier - not just lose weight, but eat healthier as well.</li>
<li>Save more, spend less - I can't even stress this one! 2011 was my worst year financially. I spent too much money this year and hardly saved any money.</li>
<li>Donate to charities.</li>
<li>Volunteer at least 2-3 times a month - I love to help others and what better way to do that than volunteering?</li>
<li>Find another job - I love my job but I hardly make end's meet, I need another.</li>
<li>Every day, find something to smile and be happy about especially on those bad days.</li>
<li>Become meaner - it sounds bad, but I need to. I've been too nice to people and that causes me to get taken advantage of. It's time to put my foot down!</li>
<li>Focus more - I find it hard to focus in school so I'm going to work on it.</li>
<li>READ! READ! READ! - I've read a few books in 2011 but I want to read more!</li>
<li>Love more, laugh more, live!</li>
</ol>
<div>
These are the resolutions that I have as of now. I know that I'll think of more and I'll just add them on.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Have a happy New Year!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

I'm so thankful for that! I bought 2 cute tops and this adorable dress. I was hoping to wear the dress for New Year's but it won't be here on time. :( oh well, it's still super cute! I'll post pictures when they get here in about a week or so. AHH! I can't hold in my excitement!<br />
<br />
It's time for me to sleep! It's almost 1 AM and I need to wake up early!<br />

This morning there were a couple of icy patches and I was so scared. I had to drive an hour from my home and I was terrified. I slipped at least 5 times in half an hour. But thankfully the ice melted off the streets. Thank you, God! It was my first time driving in those conditions, too!<br />
<br />
Today wasn't bad, I went casual with a Hollister hoodie and Hollister jeans with gray American Eagle boots. I'll be doing some shopping this weekend. There are so many sales its crazy! What better way to start the new year than with new clothes? ;)<br />
<br />
I don't have a lot to say today, I'm exhausted.<br />
<br />
Have a good day/night!<br />

Moisturizer is essential for me because without it, my face will not cooperate with me for the rest of the day.<br>
I use Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisturizer for Combination skin and its the best thing ever made since string cheese. I love it and recommend it to anyone!</p>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love these two because they keep my lips smooth without needing to reapply constantly. Plus, I love the tingling sensation I get from these two. They also have a great minty smell.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For Burt's Bees, I've tried the Pomegranate one and the honey one but I always go back to the original.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For eos, I started off with the Lemon Drop and then to Summer Fruit but I love Sweet Mint the best.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I guess I'm into the minty freshness. ;)</div>

I text a lot, but sometimes I get annoyed. I tend to take 2-4 minutes texting someone back. However, I've been taking about 10-15 minutes to text back at the least. I just hate when someone texts me back RIGHT after I send the text. Now don't get me wrong, I feel special because your darling, little heart aches to speak to me (seriously, I do feel loved) but if that happens every day, we got a problem bud. If I feel like someone is busy while I'm texting them, I tend to take longer to text them back or tell them "hey if you're busy, text me later or call me".<br />
I have an HTC Inspire and I must say I love my phone. But I know how tired it gets from being held too much or poked too much, sort of like a poking war on Facebook. I like to give it breaks. I turn it off sometimes so we both can get a break.<br />
<br />
I would like to hear any opinions whether you love texting or hate it.<br />
<br />

I can't figure out how to delete it though. I'll figure it out, hopefully. I didn't want my other blog (yadis619.blogspot.com) anymore for the following reasons:<br />
<br />
<ol><li>I started it when I was young. I didn't really know what I was doing.</li>
<li>I didn't know what to talk about or what to do with it.</li>
<li>I neglected it; rarely blogged.</li>
<li>Like I said before, I was young. I typed my words improperly and it bothered me.</li>
</ol><div>So for these reasons, I have created this new one. I'm going to be on it daily (hence the name, dailydira).</div><div><br />
</div><div>So long for now, I have to make oreo balls for my co-worker. :) I may just post up pictures.</div><div><br />
