Second thoughts bout you.
Kisses and thinking of them,
Leaves a friendship scarred...

Macbeth: Favourite lines
I've been tutoring one of my students in Macbeth, an old favourite of mine. I studied it in Grade 10 in high school, then opted to take Early and Late Shakespeare courses in University for my degree... and I loved it doubly so the second time around!
One bit I wrote out in my notebook back in Grade 10 I haven't been able to shake... it's so eerie and describes the mentality of Lady Macbeth perfectly...
Nought's had, all's spent,
Where our desire is got without content.
'Tis safer to be that which we destroy
Than by destruction dwell in doubtful joy...

Pet Peeve of the Day
DRESS PANTS
Well, ladies dress pants.
Firstly, traditional ladies dress pants have no front pockets. I am a fan of pockets. They are great for storing things - and for me personally - I can stick my awkward hands in there and avoid flailing my limbs.
They also have no back pockets either. No pockets! In fact, the back is an unflattering empty space, with space only for striped patterns or your large behind to peek through. Great.
Dress pants also flare out at the bottom. I know in the last decade or so it's easier to find skinny or bootcut dress pants, but those aren't the norm. You're paying extra to have a flattering cut. I'm sorry, but the 70s are (sadly) over, and a flare doesn't fit in this decade.
Dress pants don't stretch the way I like stretch to stretch!
Dress pants are made with this strange itchy material. They just won't ever be as comfortable as jeans. Or leggings. Or sweatpants...
They look ridiculous with sneakers.
For any workplace that makes business wear or casual business wear mandatory, dress pants will be the death of me. I hate them. They aren't comfortable and they don't go with my colourful things! I am not a formal person! I just want to be able to wear sweatpants to a workplace and not have everyone judging me to be a homeless person. Comfort does not equal homelessness. It equals practicality.

April Glymm Box!
I promise, I didn’t get this as late as this is posted. I
came back from HK and just felt so drained and stretched thin. Work waits for
no one!
But I did want to stick to my routine and post what I
received in my April Glymm box.
I received this earlier than Canada Post had predicted
(thank God, they’re so behind on updating their statuses).
And yes, I was slightly disappointed. Two of these products
I could have gotten as free samples.
Yay for:
Mai Couture Lip Gloss in Femme Fatale Full Size: 5ml
I like this. The formula is decent. It’s a little sticky,
and I will say I’d rather a darker colour (this light bubblegum pink washes my
lips out). But I do enjoy the consistency of this gloss.
Lucia No 6 Soap in Wild Ginger & Fresh Fig 25g
I love soap. It’s a bit small, but it has enough scent to
compensate for size. That is all.
Meh for:
Atelier Cologne in Orange Small.
Maybe 1.5ml?
This smells precisely like oranges. I like it a lot, but my
main hesitating in loving this is that I could get this free anywhere. The
scent lasts a long time and I got compliments the last time I wore it… but it’s
horribly expensive for the full size.
Nay for:
Free Your Mane Shampoo and Conditioner Two foil
packets
Again, I could get these free anywhere. They’re foil packets
which means they’re difficult to reuse (or even get one use of, my hair is
pretty long). Also I loathe these packets because they get so slippery in the
shower that I can’t open/squeeze/do anything with them.
NuMe Coupon code $100
off
This isn’t really worth anything. Everything on the NuMe
site costs well over $100, so with the $15 shipping this only puts a reasonable
dent in the cost of a product. Plus most girls have hair products already, and I’ve
seen this brand at Winners for $50…
