No matter how you look, at least the mirror's beautiful
I wish I liked eating salads, but I really, really don't. I always seem to end up with a honking piece of spinach lodged between my teeth, cliche though that may sound, so I like to carry a compact with me.

Korres natural skin care - I love it. I want to marry it. Or at least go steady for a really long time.
I've been hearing great things about the natural beauty brand Korres for a while, so when they opened a shop in my Brooklyn neighborhood I was excited to get a chance to check it out.
