10 Whatevers for the New Year

I have no resolutions for this new year except that we need to stay out of the poorhouse. But I have Smoot's 10 Best Whatevers, inspired by flipping through Her World at the gas station, also about the same time I discovered with bile-gushing envy that a primary/ secondary school classmate is the current editor of Her World. Aaaahh... kill me now.

Anyway, Smoot's 10 Best Whatevers for 2008.

1. Biggest happy discovery: That I really really really love Indian food, esp when it's cooked in Mumbai.

2. Biggest unhappy discovery: The 3 extra kilos I put on after giving birth are really really not going anywhere.

3. Happiest frivolous purchases: The paisley printed cashmere scarves from Mumbai - they are gorgeous and so soft mm mm mm mm

4. Happiest makeup purchases: Izu cream blusher. Apply more than a dot on each cheek and I look like I've been roasted. It will last me for 10 years!

5. Unhappiest makeup purchase: Izu loose face powder. Powder everywhere else (bag, bathroom, mirror, nasal cavities) but on my face where it seems to disappear right after application. Also, that wretched Benefit cheek and lip liquid tint that dyes my fingers red as I desperately try to rub the red strip off my face.

6. Greatest lipstick purchase: Bobby Brown lipstick kit. But nothing can rival the Mac lipstick kit that Gremlink bought me in 1999.

7. Worst lipstick purchase: Burt's Bees. Makes my lips peel very attractively.

8. Fave quote from The Son: *points to butt* "But here's a but" (in response to "RYAN! EAT YOUR DINNER! NO BUTS!")

9. Obsession of 2008: Bloody photoshop

10. Most awesome food moment 2008: Spooning Alaskan crab roe into my mouth at No Signboard Seafood with E@L, Indie, Husband and Mr and Mrs Gremlink. Time stopped, I almost fainted.
