I Applied to Grad School!

Ordinary Adventures

It’s done.

As of 3:53 PM yesterday, my graduate school application has been sent out. Now it is in the hands of the lovely admissions officers at George Mason University who will decide my fate.

My Third Favorite Liquid Lipstick: Dose of Colors Truffle, Berry Me, + Berry Me 2

Thoughts?

Xx, Gigi

My husband suggested that I try out an Aero Press.   I am not going to lie, I made several really bad cups of coffee before figuring out what worked…
