Guys, I Caved In

So remember that post on La Mer I did not too long ago? Remember when I said I was going to save my money and NOT purchase it because of my impending unemployment?

Well...good news! My internship was extended for another month! Whoohoo! Bad news: I caved in and bought the watch. I know. I have no self control. BUT. And this is a huge BUT, I got it at a discount for $82 instead of $110 because of a promo code! How awesome is that?! Seriously, add La Mer on Facebook because they always do giveaways/cool promos (I swear I'm not sponsoring them, I'm just trying to keep your wallet full. You're welcome.) 

I didn't create my own watch, I ordered one from the collection...and it's absolutely adorable. I died a little when it arrived at the office today.

Failing at Being Female #2: Hair Artistry

I must admit, I am very jealous of girls who can make their hair look fabulous every-freaking-day. I know a few women who always have a new hairstyle. It's like they have "Hairstyle-A-Day" calendar that they wake up with every morning. "Oooh, January the 7th...today's fishtail braid day!" Seriously, Miss Perfect Hair, I envy you. I fail at doing anything remotely complex with my hair...

Which brings me to the second entry of ultimate female failage on my part: Hair.

I admit, this all goes back to being lazy at times. I'm sorry, but I would much rather get an extra hour of sleep in the morning rather than waking up an hour early just to style my hair. No, that's not happening. Here's how my morning routine works out...let's say I have to be at work at 9:00 AM.

7:30 AM - Wake up (albeit grudgingly)
7:35 AM - Brush teeth. Exfoliate face.
7:40 AM - Get in shower and stay in there forever hoping the hot, boiling water will wake me up
8:00 AM - Crawl out of shower. Lay in bed for a few minutes wanting to fall back asleep
8:15 AM - Start attempting to get dressed.
8:40 AM - Apply make up
8:45 AM - Out the door, letting my hair air dry and eating a granola bar for breakfast while I drive (so safe)

Yep. That sounds a little tragic doesn't it? As you can see, my sweet concubines, I have NO energy in the morning to spend on doing my hair. It's a good day if I even manage to blowdry my hair. It's proven to be a fantastic-spectacular-extravaganza of a day if I manage to do some sort of updo or bother straightening my hair. Lucky for me, my hair is somewhat naturally straight, so I don't have to worry about frizziness even if I don't straighten my hair.

Second of all, I just FAIL at hairstyles. Sorry, but this girl will never be working as a hairdresser. I can't even curl my hair with a curling iron...my hair comes out just as flat. My portfolio of hair magic includes: ponytails, braids, and simple buns. And lets not even get crazy with braids, because I can only do that basic braid you learned how to do when you were 8 years old. I actually just learned how to do a messy bun by pinning my hair with bobby pins...this happened a week ago. At least I'm making some form of progress, right?

La Mer, You Can Have My Soul

First of all, a belated Happy New Year to my little spider monkeys all across the interweb! I have been so lazy on updating this blog, I apologize. I've just recently been bombarded with work at my internship and also spending most of my free time looking for a big girl job. Wish me luck!

Anyways, I would like to dedicate this post to my new obsession: La Mer. How have I not realized the  beauty of their watches before? La Mer specializes in watches and they have this amazing portion of their site where you can cuztomize and order your own watch. I. Am. In. Love. And this love is centered toward an aqua blue leather wrap watch. Behold, my creation:

And it's only $135...that, my friend, is an amazing deal for neverending happiness.
