The art of working hard and playing hard

» Incorporating pleasure alongside work to your lifestyle

Cazzy Lewchuk

he question of time

management is one that
plagues all of us. It’s particularly
difficult with young college
students. To what extent and
percentage should one put
work over pleasure? How much
recreation should we allow

ourselves, versus how much work
we should try to get done? Should ;

one feel guilty for indulging in
all sorts of pleasures, even if we
do get important things done?
Time management is an
almost universal issue, and each
individual handles it differently.
For many of us, we try to be
as productive as possible. We
spend a lot of time on our work
(career, personal, or school) and
a minimal amount of time on
personal pleasure/recreation.
There’s certainly nothing wrong
with attempting to get a lot of

work done. In fact, it’s probably
: something that should be
: encouraged whenever possible.

But playing hard should

: also be encouraged, particularly
: at a young age. Our twenties are
: about finding ourselves, trying

: new experiences, and realizing

: what we ultimately want out

: of life. Later years will often be

: spent ina fixed routine, and

: unable to do many of the things

: we greatly enjoy in our youth.

: I (and many others can relate)

: have worked early shifts super

: hungover after staying out late

: the night before. I have written

: articles and homework at two in

; the morning under the influence.
: Frankly, I recommend it.

We all have the same

Beauty on a Budget

» Annabelle Eyebrow Pencil

E the last few years, full and

“perfect” eyebrows have become :

the popular style. For many
people who have sparse, thin, or
patchy eyebrows, however, this
look requires brow makeup and
brushes to get right. Even those

with full brows often use eyebrow :

makeup to clean them up and
perfect them.

As far as mid-end products
go, Anastasia Beverly Hill’s
eyebrow products, particularly its
Dipbrow Pomade Gel and Brow
Wiz pencils, have leading the
pack in popularity. These cost $23
and $27 respectively, and those
who need to use a lot of product
each day could use them up fairly
quickly, making them a potential
money-sink.

A good alternative to Brow
Wiz is Annabelle’s Eyebrow
Pencils. Like the Brow Wiz, each
comes with the product and a
built-in brush, in this case as
part of the cap. Although it’s not
a spoolie and instead a straight
brush, it works very well to blend
out the product and groom the
brows.

The product itself is waxy

 

: and long-lasting for most people.
: When it’s sharp, it works well

: to define the outside of the

: eyebrows and draw in hairs, and

: as it gets duller it still works well

: for filling in your brows, meaning
: you don’t have to worry about

: constantly keeping it sharpened

: and wasting product.

It is available in Taupe,

: Blonde, Auburn, Medium Brown,
: and Black. I purchased Medium

: Brown, but although I am very

: happy with the product’s quality,
: I find the colour isa little too

: warm for my very cool-toned

: eyebrows. However, many

: reviewers of the product, aswell:
: as my mother, who recommended :
: the product to me, found that :
: the Taupe matched their light

: eyebrows very closely. This is

: because it is an ash blonde,

: instead of an orange one, and it

: has the added bonus of being a
: close dupe of Brow Wiz in Taupe.

The black is a great inclusion

: as well for people of colour,

: although I know that some

: prefer a dark grey. This may be

: helped by using a light hand

: with the product. It is also nice

: to see a colour for people with

: red hair in the Auburn colour, as

: Thad difficulty finding a similar

: product when I had red hair a few
: years ago.

Overall, | am very happy with

: this product. Although I do tend

: towards my Dipbrow due to the

: closer colour match, this is a great
: alternative when I have less time,

or less room as I don’t have to

: carry a pot and brushes with this.
: You can purchase it at London

: Drugs for $6.99, or Shoppers

: Drug Mart for $7.99.

: time, but we all have the

: same potential. | advocate

; trying to cram as much in as

: possible. Of course, productive/
: responsible things should take

: precedence, but there’s no reason :
: to do less with your time.

Commit yourself to as many

events as you want to. Go to

: movies, shows, concerts, and

: bars with friends, even ona

* weeknight. Have an extra drink.

: Stay for the after-party. Spend
: your time making memories

: and expanding in personal

: growth, even if it’s ina less-

: than-productive matter.

Ultimately, wasting our

: time is what hurts us, whether

: in too much work or not enough
: play. It’s easy to get trapped in

: a balance of working hard all

: the time and having no energy

: left to relax. Keeping busy is

: what matters. Making time for

: pleasure will ultimately lead

: toa happier you, and better

: memories in the long run.

Don't push yourself to

: do things you don’t want to,

: but absolutely do the things

: you want. Don’t feel guilt for

: enjoying yourself. Making a

: mentality to stay busy may even
: lead to being more productive

: overall. It’s less of a waste

: anda lot more rewarding.
