Happy Earth Day!!!

Hey Guys!
    Happy Earth Day!! In the spirit of Earth Day, I thought it would be cool to make a little post about three things we can do to help the environment. These are simple, everyday changes that most people do, but not everyone.

Happy Easter!!!

Hey Guys!
    Happy Easter!!! I thought I would do a quick outfit of the day, Easter edition, post for you all! Here in Jersey it is still pretty chilly, so I went with a weather appropriate outfit. To go with that I thought I would list all the makeup I wore today down below. I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!

Easter Fortune Eggs and Egg Mask DIY!!!!

Hey Guys!
     With Easter on Sunday, I thought it would be a cute idea to do an Easter DIY post. I found the Easter Fortune Eggs video a while back and have wanted to try it for awhile. They look like the cutest things ever and I am pleasantly surprised with how they turned out. Due to the fact that we will be using and hollowing out eggs, I also included a quick Egg Mask DIY! Both of these DIY's are very easy to make and are inexpensive. I hope you guys like this post, because I had such a fun time making it!

Words of Wisdom Wednesday!!

Hey Guys,
    Happy Wednesday! How has your week been going so far?!? For those of you out there that celebrate Easter, it is coming very soon, (as in this Sunday!). So this week I wanted to have a Words of Wisdom centered around that!

My First Ipsy Bag!!!

Hey Guys,
       For a little less than a year I have been subscribe to Birchbox and on Friday I showed you guys what came in this months box. I love the idea of a monthly beauty subscription service, so I signed up for another one. This month I received my first Ipsy Bag!!!!! I was so excited when it got here that I ripped the packaging right open to see what came in this months bag, and  (OMG!!!!) I am thrilled with my products (and the super cute bag!)

April's Birchbox Unveiling!!

Hey Guys,
       How is everyone doing today? I am having a particularly great day. The sun is out, the warmth has finally hit New Jersey and I cannot be happier. I went for a walk in the park today with my friend and then we spent a good hour just chatting at a picnic table! When I got back, there was a lovely, little package in my mailbox, my monthly Birchbox! I thought it would be fun to show you guys what came in my little box this month!

Sephora+Pantone "The Eye: Radiant Femme Artistry Set" Review!!

Hey Guys,
    Pantone Universe have named the Color of the Year and it is "Radiant Orchid,"(I know I'm a bit late with this post, sorry!) and I could not have been happier! Finally, a wearable color!!! I liked last year's "Emerald Green," but it wasn't the most practical color for everyday! After announcing the color, Sephora + Pantone came out with a cosmetic range featuring that color! There were so many lovely items from a lip balm, and lipstick, to blushes and eyeshadows. Now, I didn't need another eye shadow pallet, but somehow it made its way home with me and I am so glad it did! This palette is so versatile and well made (pigmentation-wise, I have a small issue with the packaging.) Here are my thoughts on the Sephora+ Pantone Universe Color of the Year "The Eye: Radiant Femme Artistry Set:"
     Lets start with the packaging, it is pretty large for a shadow palette. It actually looks like a small Apple Mac laptop. It is made out of a sturdy plastic and is fairly weighty for an eyeshadow palette. The size of it is inconvenient and convenient at the same time. When I travel, I like to take my palette in my purse, (I'm so scared they are going to smash!) and this one actually fits nicely in my laptop case with my laptop. 

Ten Things to Focus on in April!

Hey Guys,
        In the beginning of last month I did a post centered around ten things that I wanted to focus on throughout the month. (Check it out here if you haven't seen it!) Since it is the beginning of April, I thought it would be cool to update you guys on how I did last month and my 10 things that I want to focus on this month.
         Let's begin with what I had a little bit of trouble sticking too. "Getting to the gym" was easily the hardest of my tasks. I struggled with making the time to get there every other day, so that is something that I really want to focus on again this month. Another one of my task was to "learn french," which went pretty poorly. As a college student, who also has a job, making time for things that do not have to be done right away can get tricky, but this is something that I really want to learn and need to make the time for. Those were the two big ones that did not really happen this month.
          There were two that I put in a good effort, but I know I can do better and those were "eating more vegetables" and "keeping my room clean." I was doing very well with these throughout most of the month, but the last week and a half or so I have really struggled with them.
           The rest of them I think I was able to accomplish. The "not be so shy" and "travel more" tasks were the ones that I took baby steps with, but that is all I really wanted to do for the first month. Overall, I think last month was a success.
           Now let's move on to this month. I have 10 things to work on for the month of April, some of them being the same as last month and others completely new. 
           

Words of Wisdom Wednesday!

Hey Guys,
         So I am having a great day so far! I met up with one of my best friends for lunch and then we hung out at Barnes and Noble for an hour! (And YES, we were those two people sitting on the floor, flipping through a crap-ton of books and laughing hysterically!) It only seemed fitting that today's Words of Wisdom post was centered around friendships!

March Favorites!!! :)

Hey Guys,
        Happy April Fools day! I never minded getting pranked on as a kid, sometimes it was actually really funny, but I was never very good at pranking people back, which left me like an open target growing up. I did try though, I remember one year I tried to prank my sister into believing that she had gotten excepted into Hogwarts (her favorite magical realm of ALL TIME!!!). It ended with her in tears and a one week grounding for myself. So moral of the story is that I hope all your pranking endeavors end up better than mine did! Now let's get on with today's blog post. Since it is April 1st, this means that it is time for me to write about everything that I have been loving in the month of March.
        The first product that has been a favorite since I first put it on in the beginning of the month and have been loving ever since is the Julep nail polish in "Shenae." It is the color of the polish that has particularly jumped out at me and made this the one that I have practically worn all month long, (seriously, the bottle is almost empty!) It is a gorgeous light sea foam green-blue color, with a pretty sheen to it.
