best and worst of 2008.

i was not tagged.
but i was intrigued.

Favorite shampoo/conditioner: I usually switch it up because i'm nervous that my hair will 'get used to' the shampoo i'm using. i mostly used biolage though and during the summer i used the john freida blonde shampoo and it actually lightened my hair. so my fave is biolage and my least fave is herbal essences. sorry lizzie, i dont like the smell. and it makes your hair fall out.

Favorite hair product: as bad as this sounds amanda...probably my hair spray. i bought it over the internet so i didnt know what it was like or anything, but it works so well !

c-system
its enviornmentally friendly and smells awful, but it is areosol so its not too much and never too little.
its probably also my least favorite hair product because i'm sure i can get an enviornmentally friendly aerosol that works just as well and actually smells good! love/hate

Favorite makeup: bare minerals and mac mascara. i got the dazzle lash which i love but it ran out really fast, so i do not reccomend it. but i usually like mac's mascara, chanel mascara with the rubber wand is also really good. and not that expensive.

Favorite perfume: i love chanel: chance and vera wang: princess.
least favorite is all of the celebrities perfume that they put out and probably never smelled. they all smell tacky. and i dont like marc jacobs.

Favorite Vitamin: what is that? i remember taking a tiny pink pill every day when i was little and i loved it.....i dont know anything about it anymore though so i'll probably never have it again...

Diet Supplement: dont take any diet supplements....

Favorite must have of all time: well. lame but the medicated chap stick.

utah requires chapstick at all times. men and women. (its my favorite thing to see boys unload their pockets and have chapstick in it. it seems so feminine, but so normal). the medicated kind tingles, ps.

Now on to more of my faveys:

Favorite store: of 08? macy's! saved me. i loved american apparel, urban outfitters, and H&M in ny, though. cheap and fun clothing.

Favorite Jeans: my joes have been my best friend since high school. fit like a glove.

Favorite shoes: my sandals!

all of them! i'm such a sucker.

Favorite movie(s): juno, definitely.
second fave: because i said so.
i hated the dark knight.

Favorite Restaurant: i loved ruby tuesday's in new york because they had spinach artichoke dip and free refills. that is very rare in the city!

Favorite TV show(s): gosssippppp girllll.

Favorite books: i havent read much this year.
sad...

thats all! i'd like to hear what you guys loved and hated about 08? i know its kind of late for these posts, but lets reminisce.

all the single babies.

california was a blast. bfs, gfs, single ladies, eating out, new years eve, boys, lots of sleeping, suffering for a whole week with a messy room and cold foggy weather.
amanda and i didn't even fight the whole time! she is the best, and yes we are twins.

we went to chino hills to hang out with our favorite uncle, Brent! and his wife Bev, and her daughter and kids. It was so much fun! the weather was fabulous. we had a bbq (he talked me into eating chicken....), went swimming, played wii and laughed!

i also met up with one of my best girlfriends! stephanie! we met via melodramtic.com in 9th grade? maybe 10th. we started writing each other because she saw that i was LDS. we were then pen pals through melo, email, myspace, texting, facebook and now blogging! our friendship has progressed like the technologies have. she talked me through the ups and downs, the break ups, make ups, the cute things he'd do and the fights and drama of bryson and i. she saw me fall in love with chase and send him off, and shared every detail of all the boyfriends, break ups, and hook ups in between, before, and since. i met her boyfriend this weekend for the first time! he is so funny and so nice. they are too cute together. it was the highlight of my week!

i hung out with john keiter and friends, too. we had a bonfire in newport. it was fun to see people from home in another state, always a good time. john keiter is such the fun starter. i saw lauren and aubrey too, love them.

it was a good week in california! its so fun to go visit there, especially since now i have some friends there, too (okay..one) that i can hang out with when amanda is busy with a bf. (winky face)

when i left california, i flew to las vegas. i met a missionary who was from chicago, serving in new york, dating a girl from las vegas and going to school at BYU-I. we became 'friends' and when he got off his mission we kept in touch via texting. he got back together with the girl who waited two whole years for him, and they got engaged and married! so i went to his reception in LV with some other guys from the mission, it was so much fun to see them. las vegas wasnt too eventful because i was only there for less than 24 hours but i still had fun. and even got to see pam, lindsay, and marissa! they were kind enough to let me stay the night at their house!

this is the only picture i have from las vegas. i dont even remember where we were.

i got home sunday, tired, a little grumpy, and sick. thanks amanda. happy new year everyone ! :)
