Body Shop sesame body butterOriginally uploaded by annalyn. The fact that I face the computer all day and read books as thick as the Rosetta Stone doesn't mean I take my beauty rituals for granted. However, compared to my other friends who take hourrrs in the bath and another decade dressing up or putting on make-up, am basically a fuss-free, low-maintenance girl. Fixing up for me is part of being presentable and maintaining good hygiene.

Andy Rooney on Women in their 30’s
I tried to be philosophical and would have liked to post a blog about "34 Things I Learned When I Was 34." However, I realized I need time to make a list of all the things that helped me in the past year in terms of self-growth and improvement.
