stuff i like a lot

i suppose this is sort of going to be a series. every other wednesday, i am going to do a post called "stuff i like a lot" (wow original wow creativity wow go kristina really work that noggin) where i just talk about/show you stuff that i happen to like a lot at that moment in time. it's sort of fun, maybe? we'll see. maybe it'll catch on, maybe it won't. if anyone at all has a title suggestion, please. let me know. 

anyhow, since i forgot to prewrite this post (oops) this one is going to be maybe a kind of short one. i'm really tired, and it's late on tuesday night, and i have to babysit tomorrow, so this is just going to get pounded out. my sincerest apologies. 

so currently stuff i like a lot:

denim high waisted shorts. i could actually live in the cut off levi's i bought from urban outfitters (cough severely overpriced) last year. i seem to have lost some weight recently so they finally fit juuust perfect and they're so comfortable and adorable and anyone who tells me high waisted shorts aren't cute can take their opinion and shove it somewhere that the sun don't shine that's all i'm saying.

the fault in our stars. i saw the movie yesterday kind of by accident, and while, to be honest, i thought it could have been better, i cried so much that i think it's earned its place on this list. 

young and beautiful. the lana del ray song, yes. the one that was in gatsby, yes. the one that maybe gave me a panic attack the other night from listening to it for too long on repeat, yes. it's just so hauntingly beautiful, okay? leave me alone! 

the middle. i've been trying to catch up on the middle for like months now, but i kept being not that into it. then i got really into girls for a while and stopped watching it. and then i caught up on girls and didn't want to binge watch any shows ever because i was depressed about having no more girls to watch. but now! let me tell you. i'm kind of obsessing over the middle. sometimes i secretly swoon about axel a little (don't tell "boy"). 

can't blame a girl for trying. this song is by a fifteen year old (sabrina carpenter) who happens to be starring in the new boy meets world spinoff, and i'm pretty excited about her. this song is actually my jam and reminds me of the day i spent cleaning my carpet while listening to it which brings me to...

cleaning carpets with shaving cream. i'm ending my post with this because honestly it is the most brilliant thing i've ever witnessed in my life. so if you're all pretty dumb like me, you probably have black eyeliner stains all over your cream colored carpet from when you were in ninth grade and wore your eyeliner like taylor momsen post leaving gossip girl (i can't lie, i looked like a raccoon, i'm sorry). also you probably one time dropped a pot of loose black eyeshadow on your carpet and left the largest stain of all time that could not be vacuumed out. i had almost lost hope when i read about this online. 

all you gotta do is take some plain old shaving cream (i literally borrowed my father's... thanks dad!) and put it on wet carpet and rub it in really really hard with a wet washcloth and then once it's real rubbed in (you won't be able to see it anymore) rewet the washcloth so it's not shaving cream-y anymore and rub it some more until the shaving cream comes out and you will be amazed. if you do not believe me, i display here my before and after pictures. life changing shit, i tell you. i actually promise you that's my actual carpet in the actual same spot. i almost wish i had more eyeshadow spills to clean. 

um okay bye,

kristina
