Jeans!

So I got new boots a couple weeks ago and had no jeans to wear with them-it was driving me nuts. After looking online a bit, I decided to go by the old navy place at the local outlet mall and see what I could find. Lucky me, not only did they have what I needed, but they had different washes, *and* a sale! I got three pairs of jeans for less than I had expected to pay for two pairs! I washed them already to make sure therte was no shrinkage and there wasn't! They all fit perfect! So excited!

Got a netbook

I didn't want to, especially since I already had reached my "frivolous spending" limit this month, but with my computer crashing, and needing to get shit done online(and my phone failing miserably for that) I needed to get something. So I went and hit up the PX netbooks section, looked up reviews, and got the best one they had for cheap. There was a couple better, but they were like, 500 bucks.

That's the review for the one I got, and so far it's doing great. A little slow for a couple things (I apparently need to look up and download a couple things) but it's keeping up with everything else just fine. And I like that's it's so tiny and lightweight- I'll be able to take it with me pretty much anywhere.

Forever21 Hobo Purse review

So I got this purse along with some clothes the other day and just love it. It's going to be the Angela Pleather Hobo, currently selling for $24.80. http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&category%5Fname=acc%5Fhandbags&product%5Fid=1065588254&Page=all&pgcount=25

When you hear pleather, you immediately think cheap, tacky, stiff. This doesn't fall into those categories. The outside is a soft, then, flexible pleather with fully functional zippers on the top, and on both sides. The side pockets are excellent for holding keys and cellphone- items that you'll need to get without having to dig around. The inside is lined with a olive/forest green color and has a small pocket(for makeup) and another small zippered pocket. The strap is adjustable.

Overall, I love this purse. It's an excellent casual purse, and totally worth the 25 buck you'll spend to buy it.

My face regimen

Open to constructive criticism.

Morning:
Biore blemish fighting ice cleanser
Avalon Organics Vitamin C Balancing Facial Toner
Biore skin preservation dual fusion moisturizer+spf30

Evening:
Biore blemish fighting ice cleanser
Avalon Organics Vitamin C Balancing Facial Toner
Sephora FACE agre prevention moisturizer

I also have a few items that I use every one to two weeks:
Facial peel-off mask in cucumber
Clean&clear morning burst facial scrub
Biore deep cleansing pore strips

So since I started using the toner and moisturizers, my face has been doing good. With the biotin I'm taking, I have been breaking out a bit. But, I've been starting to be *really* careful and consistent with my facecare and that has been helping so much. I never really took great great care of my skin, but with the biotin I've started and I'm totally noticing a difference.  Granted- my skin wasn't *that* bad off, but now it's getting better.
