It's been six months and still no word, I don't deserve it?


Apologies for the hiatus. Reading week and all at school – aka I worked extra shifts and had no life. FUN. I just wanted to share a look I did for work. For spring Sephora has launched the ‘Spring Trends’ and in doing so all of the staff is meant to wear one of the looks while working. I was bored so I figured why not go all out?

This is the look’s ‘description’ – basically you can either do really dark smoky eyes or line the inside of your eyes a TON and then blend it around the lashes a bit. I went for the latter.


These were taken on my macbook before I left for work so apologies for the lack of quality. One thing I must say – if your eye even gets REMOTELY itchy – you are doomed. One touch to anywhere near your water line and there is liner EVERYWHERE. Other then that I got a lot of compliments and it was fun!

My light up shoes on - They love the way my kicks flash


I love the challenge - all of them. I cannot even profess my love for it enough. If I had to pick one TV guilty pleasure it would definitely be the challenge. I am so team CT and Diem this season and I really hope they reconcile their differences and win! I remember watching an episode of MADE starring Diem and it was after the challenge when they were dating outside the show and the way they are together is just perfect. PLEASE WIN.

I’m thinking of purchasing a full size bottle of Laura Mercier’s silk crème foundation. Which is saying a lot because I’ve only taken one sample home and so far I’m impressed compared to the 2-3 samples I’ve taken of NARS sheer glow/matte. With the silk crème I literally tried it once and said, “Ohh, I like this”. BUT it’s like $50 so I really have to decide between getting LM or the Smashbox bb cream. I KNOW THIS IS ALL OVER THE PLACE BUT I’M HAVING A DILEMMA ALL RIGHT. Don’t even get me started on my skin care issues. So frustrating.

I wish I had copious amounts of gift cards to Victoria’s Secret. I could literally own 100 pairs of panties and still want more. They are just so cute! Also currently I’m getting tired of the style of bra I wear (I have 4 of the exact same style) – unfortunately VS doesn’t actually make it in my size so I compromise a bit but I’d love to find a bra that actually FITS PERFECTLY and looks cute too. Mission accepted.

For love is blind and you're far too kind


I feel like the best way to stick to my new years resolutions is to write them down. (Wow self, 21 days into the month and you are finally writing them down. Good for you.)
First off my goal for this year is to floss my teeth every night before bed! This may seem like a silly resolution but I am a strong believer that making healthy things a habit is always a good idea, and honestly who doesn’t need to floss a little bit more? (So far I’ve been really good and flossed every night! Even those nights where you get home at 3 in the morning and just want to fall down in bed!)
My second goal for the year is to remove all of my makeup before bed. This has been something that I’ve been doing since the summer but I still feel like it’s important that I write it down and stick with it. I just want my skin to be lovely again and I am determined to make good habits and stick with them!
The third thing will sound silly but I am resolving to not put stuff on my staircase – either I am going to walk my ass upstairs and put it away or I am going to put it somewhere on the main level but everyone is sick of my putting all my stuff right in the middle of the staircase (meaning it is 100x harder for them to go up and down the stairs) Bad habit I will break you!
The last resolution is one I try to make every semester and never keep with it (but who does keep all of their resolutions. Honestly.) and that is to keep up with my readings for all my classes so I’m not a frantic mess a couple of days before the midterm/final attempting to read like 200 pages a night. So far I’m doing okay for this in a couple of my classes but not all of them. Someone please motivate me!

Other then that there’s always the usual eat healthier, exercise more often, swear less, be a better person etc. Those don’t require explanation though, I think those are the basic resolutions that everyone makes =P

I'll give you all of me, even though you don't love me


Christmas Hiatus. Apologies. I know there are just SO many people waiting on my every word here. Not.

First- I know people tend to hate when they are listening to something and then suddenly their friends are obsessed with said music. I understand, I do, but sometimes our friends have the best taste in music. This brings me to my point of being mildly obsessed with The Weeknd. Nothing new to some people but oh my dear baby J the sound of his voice is like heaven. If that were playing in a room that smelled like a less pungent Abercrombie store I might need to be strapped down. Serious business here people.

Second- I do not want to go back to school at all. I’m currently having quite the issue with picking between two different English classes. One is a case study of women’s American literature and the other is a case study of plagiarism in literature. I was so jacked on the women in lit class (because its with a prof I’ve had before and I thought she was pretty good) but as of recent events I have decided I maybe don’t like her as much as I thought I did – therefore maybe I should branch out into new areas with new teachers! I am so confused! The other factor in this is that if I take the plagiarism class I wont start class till 2 pm on Tues and Thurs and lets be honest here that is just a recipe for bad news. Aid please come my way.

Third – (lastly) I wanted to follow up on my last post about never being fully happy. I truly think that I’m often just trying to find something wrong with the situation so that I can get out of it- even if it’s fine. My issue right now is that I don’t know if things are going well or not, and no one knows enough about the two of us to make an executive decision. Boo.
