oh irma

that was the name of the facialist (uhp not a word, i guess she was an esthetician) at the kabuki spa i went to while in san francisco.

she was so great and lighthearted. my skin has never felt better. i really need to do that more often. i wanted to pass on some of her wisdom. i told her that my issues with taking care of my skin are that 1) i am supremely lazy and 2) i am cheap. she said that basically i could use a cornmeal mask. that involves cornmeal and water and that is all and just a couple times a month. she also said i could use a little bit of olive oil for moisture if i need it. AND she also said i need to up moisturizer to oil free 30 spf (which is hard to find, so if you find it-let me know). thanks irma for the good times! it made me realize that i need to spend my money differently. for example instead of buying crappy jack in the box breakfast (which i did this morning) don't and get a facial instead. yes the facial is more expensive, but my cholesterol level will thank me.

speaking of cholesterol. i was on the phone with my dad last night. he decided to make me jealous and tell me how he was frying up some hot dogs. i reminded him how he used to boil up the dogs. he replied with, "gross! boiled meat is so gross." i said, "but dad! you used too! why dad? why did you used to?" to which he replied, "i don't know. i didn't know what i was doing." not to mention they were being boiled in an aluminum pot, which is why i have early onset alzheimer's.

oh boiled meats.
NOTE: DO NOT GOOGLE IMAGES OF BOILED HOT DOGS. TRES DISTURBING.
