Skippy Says: A Few = Two (OOTD + review)

So you know how I said I managed to get dressed a few times in the five days we were up in Tahoe? Two counts as a few, right? The bare minimum, sure, but it still fits the definition. Hey, I didn't get that Linguistics degree for nothing. 


I almost didn't photograph this look because I washed my hair too late in the day and the light started fading while it was still really wet. But then I remembered that I brought along the HANA Air hair dryer that Misikko sent me to test out (they actually sell a whole line of blow dryers, flat irons, and curling irons). So, basically, they saved the day. If saving the day means you getting to see my outfit. Which clearly it does.


The first thing I noticed when I opened the box was the ridiculously cute packaging and numerous goodies included along with the dryer. Look, I'm a sucker for things like that. A sucker I tell ya.

Upon opening the box

Some of the goodies inside: hand sanitizer, nail files, shampoo and conditioner

The hair dryer + shine shield

Ok, how cute is this? A monkey holding a hair brush. Ryder tried to claim the monkey as his new stuffed toy to chew up but I fought him off

And more goodies...A hair towel and eyelash curler

Icing on the cake? The hair dryer comes with a 2 year warranty. Which is really good because I tend to break shit. A lot.

Skippy Says: If At First You Don't Succeed (OOTD)

Since I got such a positive response on the last outfit Ryan hated, I figured why not continue with the trend and post another? You guys, he really hated this one. So much so, in fact, that I had to twist his arm to photograph me in it. And by twist his arm I mean give him a noogie and wear it on three separate days, threatening that I'd keep wearing it around him until he gave in. Apparently all the pieces are nice individually, but don't go together. Little did I know, ladies. Little did I know.

Skippy Says: Schooling Myself (OOTD)

I'm hitting the hay real early tonight folks. It's 8:00 p.m., and I have been dreaming of sleep since...well, all of last night. You see, I didn't have the most restful night. I dreamt that I took a sleeping pill thinking that I'd go to bed, but it turned out I had lots of work to work so I couldn't actually go to sleep. But the sleeping pill was making me oh so sleepy. Yes, sleepy in my sleep. Frustrating much? Remember how I said I get cranky when I'm hungry? Well, that also applies to when I'm sleepy. Basically, I'm a child. So I decided to dress like a school teacher, give myself a slap on the wrist, and tell myself to quit whining.
