Teen Corner: Um. Yeah.

HI!!!!
I’m not sure if anyone remembers me, but I’m Bree—-and this is supposed to be my Teen Corner. Hahaha!
I won’t bore you with the stupid little details of my boring (but busy!) life because the last thing you want to hear about is school, volleyball, babysitting, volleyball and more volleyball.
Also? Gossip Girl is back. Let there be peace on earth. (Gossip Girl is very time consuming, people. If you don’t hit rewind on your TiVo time and time again to analize Chuck’s facial expressions, you don’t know what you’re missing!)
On to the beauty.
This month I found two products that I can’t live without. The first seems kind of crazy, because I’ve seen it around the house for years, but I’ve never actually tried it: Aquaphor Healing Ointment .

Aquaphor is not very glamorous but for chapstick/lip balm addicts, it’s the best. The consistency is smooth like Vaseline, but stays on forever. It is especially amazing if you’re outside on a windy day or in a gym playing a sweaty game of volleyball.
The second is DuWop DoubleGlow7 , a product I never would have tried had my mom not insisted. I never imagined something so subtle could make such a difference, but a little of this on my cheekbones or eyelids and my face looks all glow-y and pretty. Why would I ever go without it again?

Before I head off to cram for a test, I want to wish my littlest sister, Janey, a happy happy happy birthday. She turned SIX yesterday:

(Here’s the birthday girl with two of her friends from kindergarten. If you can’t figure out which one is Janey, let me give you two hints: LIP. GLOSS.)

I LOVE aquaphor. I keep a little tube on me at all times (one in my purse, my car, my bathroom…) my lips never get chapped anymore.
