Update and Rambles

Hello everyone :)

I haven't written a blog post in so long! School has just taken over, if you're in college you know what I'm talking about ha. The semester is finally coming to a close so I thought I would start posting again. There hasn't been much going on to be honest I've just been focusing on school and myself. I've been really into health and fitness lately, since June I've lost about 40 pounds! Which is pretty awesome! So that's pretty much it. Pretty boring right?

Right now I'm having a lovely date with Netflix. Watching Parenthood and really liking it. I'm also doing a little online shopping. I just ordered the urban decay mystery travel bag. When I get it I will share what's inside :).

So that's pretty much it for now. I hope you all are having a lovely night!

NOTD: Pure Ice 'Silver Mercedes'

This is officially my new favorite nail polish!

I found this in my sisters nail polish collection and put it right on my nails. I love it!

For those of you interested in Essies new collection 'Mirrored Metallics' but don't want to spend $8 on a nail polish, this is very similar to 'No place like chrome' :)

Thanks for reading!

Summer Haul!

So I did a little shopping the other day and I thought I would share what I got with everyone.

I wanted to get some new tank tops and some shorts because I'm going to California on Tuesday and believe it or not I don't even own a pair of shorts lol and I didn't want to wear Jeans to the beach so I stopped by Old Navy and picked these up

Also found these sandals..very cute!

I also went to walmart and picked up

-Maybelline instant age rewind concealer in 'Fair Clair'

-Wet n Wild mega eyes eye liner

-Wet n Wild eyeshadow trio in 'Walking on Eggshells'

-Wet n Wild wild shine nail polish in 'Blazed' and 'Sparkled'

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend and thanks for reading :)

Goodies from today

Stopped by Marshalls today and picked up a few yummy smelling things :)

-Moisturizing Bath Bar in Juicy Pear. These are my favorite bath soaps they smell so good! ($3.99)

Hope you all are having a lovely day!

DIY Splatter Nails

What you need:

Straws

Tape

Paper Plate

nail polish

Start off with a white base

 Next, tape you fingers..do not skip this step! I did and my hands were purple for 2 days lol

 Then pour your nail polish on your paper plate. After you have done this dip the straw in the paint for at least 10 seconds and then blow on to nail. I suggest using thinner straws, I think mine were a litte too wide and was a little harder to get onto the nail.

And finally your should have this..of course you can choose any colors this is was for 4th of July :)

There are also so many of these tutorials floating around the internet this is the way I saw it done so I hope it works for you :)

Thaks for reading :)

4th of July Splatter Nails

So I did my nails a little different than I usually do and I really liked them so I thought I would share. I've been seeing some really awesome nail designs floating around the Internet lately and 'Splatter Nails' caught my eye. I have to say they're not as easy to do as they look but for my first time doing them I think they came out OK. I of course did red, white and blue for Independence Day but I'm sure they would look awesome with any colors.

Pure Ice: White

OPI: Red

Sally Hanson: Blue me away

Hope you enjoyed this post and hope everyone had an awesome 4th of July and if you don't celebrate it I hope you had an awesome day! :)

Mini haul :)

So I picked up a few things from Target the other day I thought I would share with you :)

Garnier Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector B.B. Cream in Medium/Deep

Dove Hair Therapy Invigorating Dry Shampoo

Dove Hair Therapy Nourishing Oil Care Detangler

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure polish in Parrot

EOS Lip Balm in Mint

Excited to try these products out.

Hope you enjoyed :)

NOTD: My Private Jet by OPI

I know its spring and time to bring out those pastels but I cant seem to stay away from those winter colors. I was searching through my nail polish and found My Private Jet by OPI and forgot how much I loved this nail polish!

This polish is described as a deep black but I think the sparkle makes it look a charcoal color which I love.

 Hope you enjoyed reading :)

A few new things

This past Saturday I went shopping and I stopped by Kohls. Usually I never find anything there but I found a few pieces that I thought I would share with you.

 I'm loving these new additions to my closet..I may have to try Kohls more often.

Hope you enjoyed reading :)

Baby Lips

So the other day I was on the hunt for a really good lip balm. I have the worst chapped lips right now and nothing seems to be working. I've tried the eos lip balms that everyone seems to love and I didn't like them at all! So I went to target and found the Maybelline New York baby lips repairing lip balms and I love it! Not only do these have really cute packaging but they actually work!

The two I got were 'Quenched' and 'Pink Punch' and they both smell amazing!

The pink does leave a little bit of a tint you can build it up for more color or leave it just a pale pretty pink.

I'm really loving these right now and definitely recommend them if you're wanting to try a new lip balm.

 Hope you enjoyed :)

Nail of the day: Flirt Alert by Pure Ice

Happy Valentines day everyone! I hope you all had a good one. In honor of today I thought I would do my nails a pretty girly pink and this color is the perfect one!

Neutrogena Naturals face and body bar review

So the other day I was looking through all my face products and I realized that I have SO many of them...most of which are face wash. I'm the type of person that cant settle on one product so I try lots of different ones..and I'm OK with that. So anyways while I was at the store the other day I came across the Neutogena Naturals collection, I've heard of this collection before and I love Neutrogena so I don't know why I didn't get something from it sooner. I have way too many bottles of face wash so I thought I would get the face and body bar. I've been using it for a while now and I love it! It's so nice on your face and makes it look so clean and feel so smooth. It has a little bit of a funky scent to it but you don't notice it at all when it's off of your face but other than that its great. I think this is easily becoming one of my favorite Neutorgena products.

Hope you enjoyed reading :)

Sleepy Monster Feet

So after an early morning of babysitting and an afternoon of trying to stay awake and do homework I finally decided to take a little break. I'm exhausted and its only Tuesday. I think I may need to work on my time management because being this tired everyday isn't working out for me. I don't remember last semester being this exhausting. Being so tired everyday kinda makes me moody and the people around me aren't afraid to let me know it lol.

Break time is over. I think it's time for bed!

Nighty night! xoxo

Some pics from today...

Up before the sun!

 Monster footie pj's are the best!

Spa Tips: Grapefruit Sugar Scrub

Good morning everyone! I hope you all are having a lovely day. So school is in yet again and I'm already exhausted. Being a full time college student is a lot of work and you rarely ever get a break. Of course school starting brings stress and stress brings breakouts. My face had gotten bad! Thank god for weekends! 'Me' time = SPA time!

So the other day I went to Marshalls and usually when I go to Marshalls I always end up getting something from the Home or 'Beauty' section. As far as the beauty section goes in the store its usually something I wouldn't find anywhere else or marked down items from other stores. I came across a sugar scrub. I have never tried a sugar scrub so I was kind of curious about it. They had 1 of these sugar scrubs (which is typical for Marshalls) so I grabbed it. It smells amazing and works so well on my skin! I dont think my skin has ever felt so soft. Why didnt I find these sooner?  The brand is Asquith & Somerset and it was only $6 such a bargain!

Doing a little something for my face or hair always makes me feel and look better. Every girl deserves a little spa time :)

Hope you enjoyed reading :)

Nail of the day: Essie 'Turquoise & Caicos

So I just bought my first Essie nail polish the other day. I've been wanting to try Essie nail polish for the longest time I dont know why I never have. I bought Tourquoise & Caicos, its described as a 'flirty and pretty tropical aqua' and thats exactly what it is. I love this color.

January 2012 Birchbox

What's inside:

-Juicy Couture: Viva La Juicy sample

-Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash

-Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Peacock

-VMV Hypoallergenics Re-Everything: Face-Hand-Body Lotion

-Larabar mini bar

So this is the January Birchbox. This months box came with a few cool things..but knowing my sesitive skin those of which will probably make me break out :(. I havent tried any of the products yet except the Larabar mini fruit bar which was actually really good..didnt look good but it was.

This is my last Birchbox. I love Birchbox but I really wanna try different beauty boxs. I was with Birchbox for about 7 months and I just felt like they were sending the same products over and over. I'm ready to try something new. I've heard good things about glambag, anyone else?

If you have any suggestions for different beauty boxs please let me know :)

Reviews for these products to come..

 Hope you enjoyed reading xxx



Nail of the day: Nicole by OPI 'Disco Dolls'

So as you all know I went on a little nail polish shopping spree and I picked up this pretty glittery nail polish from the Kardashian Kolors collection. I picked up 'Disco Dolls' and immedietly fell in love with the color. It has so much to it but when on its so simple and pretty.

The last polish I got is from the Nicole by OPI Kardashian Kolor collection and I am in love with this nail polish! Its called 'Disco Dolls' I'm wearing it on my nails now and It's like little disco balls on my nails its adorable.

 So I hope you guys enjoyed this post. Reviews on these polishes coming soon!
