too cool for school.

it doesn't matter how cool you are...

you're not as cool as their friends.

as we gathered in front of the water park entrance for mini-she's field trip, six of her friends wanted to be in my group because i was "the coolest mom".

i was the parent to be with.

we talked about all the rides we would ride and

how much fun we would have together.

we headed to our designated home base area, put our bags down, and i hear the teacher say to the kids, "you may go in groups of four without a chaperone."

the kids ran off so fast...before i even had a chance to say, "wait for me!"

so there i stood. alone.

these pants go against the grain of my usual

flares and floor dragging lengths.

and, to be honest, i felt uncomfortably short and wide in them.

i tried to "fix" them by throwing on a basic white tee and super high heels. can't say i'll be wearing these again,

but at least i tried them.

some of you have been asking for feedback on

the e.l.f. products i recently purchased.

i finally had a chance to try out

this e.l.f. waterproof eyeliner pen.

eyeliner is key for my single asian eyelids.

while i've never had any luck with liquid liners before,

i was pleasantly surprised with this one.

the tip was slightly dry (possibly because it was the first use), making the application really easy and mess-free. the best part about it, compared to my usual pencil liners, is that it looks just as fabulous now, at 5pm, as it did at 7am this morning when i first applied it. no touch-ups needed.

and for one dollar, i'm sold.
