Feeling like crud. I thought that my re-root canal on Monday would make the swelling in my jaw go down; instead, it got much worse. I can barely open my mouth to eat or talk. Been on a liquid/mushy diet for a couple days, though managed some potato chips last night by sucking on them slowly. (Dill pickle flavor! New! from Lays. Weirdly addictive.) I’ve had to turn my head on the side to actually chew, so I look a little bit insane every time I take a bite of something.
So puffy. Hating life.
Also trying out just shooting my photos with a self-timer. Less stressful.
Isn’t this bag wildly weird? It looks like it’s made out of a bowling ball and should be some prop from Star Trek. Or something.
Nails are Sally Hansen Disco Ball layered over Sally Hansen Midnight in NYC. Kind of a glittery starry night effect, though it’s a little hard to see.
Felt like pairing up my rock crystal accessories with my DIY Arrowhead ring.
I love how the sun catches the translucence of the rock crystal.
Man…hopefully my appointment with the oral surgeon on Monday will help get this stupid infection to die down! Can’t live on mashed potatoes and dill pickle potato chips forever..
Hope everyone had a great week!

Hv 2 comment on yr root canal – Are you tking antibiotics? If not ASK for them! It’s an infection & so close to your brain – pharaohs dies from it !- ALSO make sure you tk lots of vitamins esp C – ginseng & all that – & rinse with hot salt water to promote healing – I hv been there myself!!
Hope you R better soon…
Hi Pam-
Thanks for your great advice. “Pharoahs die from it” LOL:-) I had a week of antibiotics last week, and tomorrow I go back to the oral surgeon – hopefully he will put me back on antibiotics. I will try the saltwater rinse and see if it helps the swelling! (yesterday taking 2 Alleve instead of the 1 I usually take seemed to bring the swelling down a lot, so I’m going to continue to do that too…)
Thanks so much!

I love..love..love your shoes. Unfortunately I cant find the shoes on forever21 anymore. They are out of stock :-(. Is there other way to make as shoes like thoes. 🙁
Best wishes

Hi Vivian! Yes, Forever 21’s inventory changes quickly, so I’m not surprised they’re not available anymore. You can always find a pair of boots that has a heel you like and the grommets for the laces on sewn-on flaps (like Doc Martens does), and cut out the toe box and tongue of the shoe with a box cutter. (but not a real Doc Martens – they’re too expensive! And not actual “work” boots or combat boots – most have a reinforced steel toe and cutting that out with a box cutter might be too tough…:-( As long as the shoes have grommets in them, you won’t even need to go through the rigmarole of adding your own like I did in the tutorial above! Good luck:-)
