Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. . .for real.

So, there is apparently a drug, that is usually designated for high blood pressure that can erase traumatic memories. Seriously. Upon first glance of the newsworthy info; that almost seems ideal. . .aren't there some instances that we would much rather forget? After watching "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" back in college, my friends and I were like. . .ok, when and where can we have this procedure performed and do they have any emergency openings for ASAP!?

Our memories hold precious nostalgic moments in time while simeltaneously haunting us with prior feelings of pain, rejection and only God knows what else. Why wouldnt we want to purify ourselves of the latter? As I have been working on my new project, which exposes a lot of those juicy bruises and less than amazing memories, I have realized that forgetting those times would actually probably not be as beneficial as I assume it may be. I asked a question at the end of the last posting, "where did you come from and how does that relate to where you are going?." Keep that in mind. Would erasing our memories virtually end up erasing who we are? What would you do if given the option to magically forget someone or something and its impact on you?

Official News Video discussing the "memory loss" drug.


This photograph (which I found surfing photobucket) represents my current state of mind, even with the undesirable memories, they make me appreciate how truly lucky and amazing we are.



"Make a Toast," by Dolla featuring Lil Wayne
amazing song in a reggin kind of way :)


M.A.C's all new foundation "Studio Scuplt": A new formula that revitalizes and moisturizes skin. It is different from the previous Studio formulas because it is gel based and water resistent. Your skin is given a miraculously fresh satin finish. ($28)


Laura Mercier Lip Gloss
If you do not like the sticky consistency of M.A.C's Lipglass, Plushglass or Lusterglass, I would recommend Laura Mercier's line which consists of Lip Glace, Lip Plumper and Lip Stain. It costs a bit more, but honestly, I think it is worth it. My favorite shade of the Glace is "Bare Beige," which was limited edition, but "Champagne" is a part of the permanent line and is also amazing. Give it a try and share your opinion with me.



"Ontario Tie-Dye Boots" Designed for Brian Atwood, Spring 2009, $920
They also come in hues of blue, but these attracted my attention.
A unique pair of suede or leather flat boots are a fashion essential; choose a pair of boots that are a color or material that you do not normally wear; its fun, plus you will make a statment by showing that you are a fashion dare devil!


See you guys soon!
