The bigger the brow the better



So, I am obsessed with thick eyebrows. When I went home to NY for the break the biggest difference I was struck by was the style which women groomed their brows. Most American women pluck and pluck away at their eyebrows. Don't they know they are meant to frame and enhance your eyes and overall face. Personally, I have had such terrible experiences in the States with waxing. It's really a shame. In fact, I am still growing my eyebrows out from the Superdorm lady's hack job on my face. Regardless, I am head-over-heels in love with threading which, if I remember correctly, is thought to have originated in Turkiye. Turkish women on the other hand appreciate a full brow and don't fight their natural shape.



I completely agree with the selection above, each is a perfect example of how thicker just means more beautiful. Of course, Brooke Shields is included because she is the Queen of the 'Big Brow."


When it comes to brows her's are borderline godly and, most definitely, deserving of more photos so here they are:


I would, however, add Camilla Belle. I would call her the Reigning Princess of the "Big Brow," wouldn't you? Take a look for yourself:


Remember that thick, big eyebrows are not the same as unkept and messy brows. This next girl, whoever she is, needs to get that memo.

Frustration

Erkeklar are soooooo FRUSTRATING!!!

I don't think I need to say anything more than that.

I am, also, not a very patient person so we will see how far my tolerance can stretches before I just don't give a fuck.

This FML moment brought to you by Fmylife.com makes me feel a shit load better tho; so, maybe it will do the same for you:

Happy National Peanut Butter Lovers' Day & National Pig Day!

MARCH 1st

is

National Peanut Butter Lovers' Day

&&

National Pig Day

both of which are greatly missed by nearly every american over here in turkey. i am an exception, of course, being that i am, firstly, a veggie and, secondly, smart enough to return to istanbul with my very own giant sized jar of american style peanut butter. but still how weird is it that the holidays for appreciating both of these much missed treats fall on the same day...?

i think i will celebrate by making delicious pb&j sandwiches tomorrow. hells yaa.

Goodbye

Life is hard.

Decisions and distance are hard, too.

Life is short.

I will not live in regret.

I will never forget how I love you even as we say goodbye.

I made my choice and I stand by it.

Goodbye.

Missed Connection

After a roughly 6-hr flight from JFK to London Heathrow I grabbed my bags and ran off the plane. I literally ran trying to catch my flight to Istanbul. I should have had an hour layover but since the original flight was delayed 20 minutes I was fucked. I am soo pissed about it but what can I do?! Nothing. Well, nothing but sit. The timing is awful, as well. Why aren't people up at 6:26 am in NY, hmm?? The bittersweet anxiety is drawn out even longer now. I miss Pinar Demir...
