Anyway, here's my list of ever-practical wishes for Christmas. The order doesn't matter.
Santa, I'm okay if you don't get me anything on this list.
1. Make-up things:
- Clinique's Different Lipstick in TENDERHEART
- I got a sample of this in a Clinique bonus and I likeeeeeee it. It's probably going to be the only lipstick I will say that I want EVER, but to be honest, I don't necessarily need a $15 stick of stuff for my lips that just ends up disappearing when I stuff my face. If I do get one I'd only start using it after I finished the sample, and who knows when that'll happen?
- Brush(es) maybe? (no link)
- I was thinking I'd probably just buy an eyeshadow brush (and maybe other standard things) someday but I'm sure that you all potentially know more about this stuff better than me... So if you'd like to do me a favor and pick a nice, non-irritating, reasonable one for me that'd be cool but if not -- that's okay, I feel ya. I also would then need to think about what product is in my possession that I would be applying with said brushes...
- NO:
- Nail polish. I seriously need to go through the bottles I have and use them up.
2. Reusable drink things:
- Some sort of WATER BOTTLE/thermos!
- I'd prefer that it not be of plastic and not have a built in straw or straw hole. I think I like glass over metal... But as long as the bottle can be opened to be cleaned, I'd be happy. It would be nice if the cap was attached in some way and was easier to open than a screw-cap, but I can deal~ I would ideally like this to be kind of "thin" like a water bottle rather than mug sized, diameter wise. I would like to be able to refrigerate this thing with ease.
- Handy Cooler half (any color) or Handy Cooler (any color)
- So that I can put tea brewed in any of the other manners I am able to (tea bag, tea infuser, teapot press thing) into the fridge to cool. Or just make cold tea in it right away.
- One of Starbucks weird chunky mug/tumblr things
- I don't want a normal smooth cup. I only really need a grande in terms of Starbucks... I also kind of oppose the straws...
3. Reading material:
- Novels/etc. in Spanish:
- La Casa en Mango Street
- maybe something by Isabelle Allende?
- Cien años de Soledad by Garcia Gabriel Marquez
- Spanish poetry or magazine
- I need to brush up on my Spanish before next semester, so I might as well do it in an entertaining way.
- NONFICTION SCIENCE
- I'm not asking for something like a textbook or an instructional book, but something thought provoking on any kind of science.
- Reading seeds suggested by our Genetic's Professor
- The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
- Genome
- Island of the Colorblind
- Biopunk: Solving Biotech's Biggest Problems in Kitchens and Garages (bought and purchased this -- very enthralling)
- I remember receiving "The Art of the Calculus" or something from Mr. Nagaoka for some reason and reading it and feeling mildly interested in it harhar.
- John Green
- The Fault in our Stars
- I would read this over and over again even if it makes me sob uncontrollably. I love this book so much despite the pain it causes me and despite how much criticism it has received.
- Paper Towns
- I've read this, but I wouldn't mind lingering on the idea of paper towns and paper people more.
- Haruki Murakami
- I already own these thanks to Alyssa!
- The Wind Up Bird Chronicle
- Norwegian Wood
- I already read IQ84 but I would so read it again.
- I'm sure I would be entranced by anything from him.
4. Food:
HOT POCKETSas of 12/19 my Hot Pocket craving is NO MORE- No candy
- No soda
- No granola bars
5. Miscellany Fillers:
- G2 pen ink refills in non-standard colors (i.e. anything besides black, blue, or red). I like purple and maroon.
- Washi tape, deco tape, fabric washi tape.
- Normal film. Like, 35 mm film.
- Warm things: socks, scarves, comfy sweaters, layer-able things. (:
