Greetings as well as salutations from the courthouse in the Marin region Civic Center! I’m composing this from a folding chair in a waiting space full of other citizens awaiting the possibility to do our civic duty, a.k.a jury duty, as well as for the record, the natives are getting restless…
Jeopardy fun Fact
The Marin region Civic Center, a futuristic spaceship-looking structure with beige walls, a sky-blue roofing as well as a 172-foot-tall golden tower, was the last building compensation by distinguished designer Frank Lloyd Wright.
If the photo makes you feel a bit woozy, you may requirement a physician — Dr. Dre, that is. The building makes an appearance at the extremely beginning of Dr. Dre’s video, I requirement a Doctor.
The space is hot, stuffy, as well as we’ve been right here for hours, just waiting to see if the court will requirement us today.

Judging by the grumbling around me, which is steadily boosting in volume, it’s about to get Lord of the Flies up in here!
If we get cut off…assume one of two things: 1) either I got chosen to serve on a jury, or 2) the thin veil of decorum that feebly keeps society from collapsing has fallen, as well as I’m dodging staplers as well as paperback copies of 50 shades of Grey being hurled with the air.
If it’s situation No. 2, ideally I’ve handled to getaway with my laptop as well as lipgloss!

Today, that lipgloss is Clark’s Botanicals Ultra rich Lip Tint in Carlotta Pink ($19; one of six shades), as well as it’s most likely the only court-appropriate thing I’m wearing…
But before we get to that, first, some background about the brand.
Like this: they like their skin-balancing botanicals. products in the little NY-based niche skin care as well as makeup line are mainly brought at elegant schmancy stores like Fred Segal as well as Saks fifth Avenue, as well as every product in the line consists of jasmine absolute, an necessary oil with, they claim, “immuno-stimulating as well as antibacterial properties.”
Carlotta Pink, a sheer, shimmery rose, is one of six rich Lip Tint shades in the line, as well as today it’s the only thing keeping me from appearing like a waitress in a tiki bar.
I was running late this morning (and low on caffeine) as well as trying to beat the traffic, so I left the home using a sleeveless tropical print romper as well as knee-high eco-friendly boots, an attire that doesn’t precisely scream, “jury duty.”
At least I had the great sense to get hold of Carlotta Pink…
With its hydrating, non-sticky formula, 2-hour wear time as well as light increased flavor as well as scent, Carlotta is surprisingly responsible.
Sure, it’s not precisely a pinstripe service suit, however I believe it hits the ideal notes for something like jury duty, institution or work.
It’s shiny, however not as well shiny; pigmented, however not as well pigmented. So it appears like you spent a long time on your appearance, however it doesn’t look like you’re on your method to da club.
The $19 cost is quite steep for a gloss…but I like the color as well as the component profile.
