splurge

For the first time in a long time, I was able to splurge on... me. I haven't really bought myself anything that I wanted in a long time. I always find myself buying other's something because I find joy in seeing others happy and excited. Now, I can do things for myself from time to time.

I'm not ballin', but I did buy these two things at Lenox today:

Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler - $19

NARS concealer in Praline - $22

I don't wear makeup much, but considering that dark under eye circles run in the family, I found the concealer to be necessary. Also, one of my best features is my long eyelashes, so the curler will come in handy with or without mascara. But man, I was smiling all day after I bought these two things. I can't believe buying something for myself could be this gratifying. 희수 오빠 looked at me strangely, but he was happy that I was looking after myself for the first time in a while.

Tomorrow I may be going to get a car wash with my cousins after church. It's been overdue. I haven't had a decent car wash in over a year. Plus, there are still dead bug guts splattered all over my car from my trip to Savannah a month ago.

Sometimes I may be envious of people that have close friends their age, but you know, I realized some friends cannot beat my relationship with my family, especially my cousins. Don't get me wrong, my friends are amazing people, but when it comes to my cousins, they are literally my best friends and look out for me way more than anyone else. They immediately treated my now nonexistent SO like family. That was a first for me, but afterwards I realized how blessed I am to have their support.

We're quirky, loud, crazy, passionate, affectionate, direct, understanding...

you're missing out if you haven't joined in on one of our family meetings. My future spouse will be one lucky guy. :)
