Every week, we celebrate the things we love by listing them off in a big, delectable, toothsome (!!!) way! It is an instant pick-me-up, so even if you are sitting around in a grump, give it a try! (I often do this in person too, & ask people to tell me 5 things they are happy about at that very second. It works like a charm!) So here we go…

I read something this week that said, “jealousy is when you count other people’s blessings instead of your own”. It is the perfect first point for this week’s Things I Love Thursday!

I also love…

Anastasia Brow Powder Duo — I bought one of these the other day & you would not believe the difference it makes to your look. I know I should do my eyebrows every day, but I always forget, plus I never had the right colours to do it. So on Saturday I just happened to wander into Sephora (which is incidentally one of my favourite places, even when it is packed with girls screeching about Halloween — headphones are the key here!). I picked up a Brow Powder Duo in Brunette, stared intensely in the mirror & brushed some across my eyebrows. Hello, fabulous! I am an addict. Actually “doing” your eyebrows totally changes the dynamics of your face, it is incredible & looks so much more glamorous.

Thinking about office organisation for 2010 — Way more fun than it might sound. I have always been a huge stationery nerd, though, so if you know me, this is not surprising. I trawled Amazon for good wall calendars for hours the other day. The most promising one so far is Where’s Waldo 2010. Oh yes! I once cut out pictures of “Waldo” (we call him Wally) & stuck them in bus-stops & on lamp-posts. Anyhoo. (I have a bunch of dream calendar ideas, like… Pee-Wee Herman, Tim Walker [it seems they’re not releasing one this year, booooo], Victoria Beckham [yes!], cute girls wearing sequinned mouse ears & lingerie, etc.) But I am AMPED about getting a bigger desk (the one I bought is just not big enough, I neeeeed to sprawl my stuff everywhere, good thing this was only $20, ha!), a nice vintage something-or-rather to put pens in (silver teapot, elaborate vase, strange jar?), more bulletin boards, a good chair, shelves, magazine organisation devices, etc. etc. etc. ad finitum! Save me from myself!

My new printer! I bought one from Amazon the other day (the Canon MP480 if you’re interested!), & it’s so exciting! I am obsessed with having pictures EVERYWHERE to help stimulate my brain juices (slurp), so I have been sitting around madly printing things off & sticking them all over the place. Yesssssssss.

Honourable mentions: Emails with the subject line “You’re awesome”; snuggling with my two favourite boys; Too Faced’s Lash Injection (mega lashes); Givenchy lipstick & lip glosses forever; “Have you ever been into Strawberry’s basement?” “No, why?” “It’s like the slutty underwear repository, it’s GREAT” (& buying a whole lot of it for practically nothin’ gets my vote too); my new Necklush scarf; shopping sprees so vigorous you give yourself blisters; Sex Rehab With Dr Drew; working out at the Haunted Mansion; planning my outfits way, way ahead of time; the sartorial boost that writing Love & Sequins #6 gave me!; looking at my colourful Moleskine planner for 2010 — my glitter maus skull is resting on top of it & I am itching to use it!; filling up my calendar way in advance with lots of rad events; Verdana (I get re-obsessed with this font every two years or so, it is so beautiful); having a Bowie-a-thon; when The Dish cooks for me & sings songs about it as he does it; making lists of fun things to do on the weekend; the Ninja Tune podcast; jambalaya (I had it for the first time the other night, YUM); sore leggies from running & cycling; Glee (as in the show); Cappie & Casey getting together on Greek (I was unreasonably excited about it); getting new freelance jobs (yay!!!); getting my calendar back from my old place & being able to plan my life on my wall again!; El Squeako; Beyonce (I watched her E! Hollywood True Story the other day & it reminded me how much I like her, plus she is so beautiful, PLUS she is a Virgo!); see also, Jay-Z; writing “love is the answer” in my Moleskine & seeing it all day; cutest packaging ever (I love monster anything); sound machines (I want one, listening to rain while you sleep is totally orgiastically blissful); soup; tequila & lime salsa (yum!) & finally, Le Dishiness for indulging my ridiculousness on a daily basis!

Also I think there needs to be a game for the Wii or PlayStation or whatever else they have these days, which is ALL great hip-hop that you have to rap along to & you get graded on how good you are. I want a good selection, too, from Big L to 50 Cent to Aesop Rock. I would buy that. Wouldn’t you?! Okay! Thanks, video game making people!
