Mother’s Day!

Posted on by

Lots of people say they have the best mom, but I can honestly say my mom is the best mom in the entire world. She’s really strict and has super high expectations but doesn’t hesitate to help me with anything. She’s really funny! My mom doesn’t know anything about computers or phones or any tech item. She called the Honda dealership to make an appointment for them to change her radio presets just because she didn’t know how easy it is. 

When we go shopping together, we have so much fun. She’s always vocal about her opinions and so am I, so shopping together is a blast. When we travel together, it’s even better. 

So, happy Mother’s Day to the best mommy in the entire world and to all the mothers out there!

Super Simple Makeup

Posted on by

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the lack of posting, I thought I posted the other night, but it didn’t upload! 
I thought I’d do a quick little post on how I do my makeup every morning, its super simple. I’ve never been one to wear lots of makeup, I don’t like clogging my pores and I also hate spending more than 10 minutes doing it. I spend so much time doing my hair that makeup is super quick and nothing extreme. 

1. Moisturize! It’s one of the most important parts of my morning, if I forget it bothers me for the entire day. I use Cetaphil just because it isn’t too expensive and works well. I used to use one from Bliss, but I ran out and never got more. 

2. Eyes…a little bit of mascara (Covergirl) and eyelash curler. I can’t live without my curler, it makes my lashes less droopy and more playful. I really like mine, I got it from Target for about $10. 

3. Bronzer. Super light and quick. Just one or two strokes across my face does the trick. Usually I put a little of moisturizer over the bronzer, this makes it even lighter looking and also helps it stay on for the day. 

4. Lips…this is my favorite. I love chapstick and lip balm. I don’t ever wear lipstick though, I hate having to make sure its not smudged. I use either baby lips or just regular chapstick brand. They both work really well and give my lips a little bit of shine without overwhelming color.

Voila! My five to six minute daily makeup routine. Super simple, classy looking and not expensive! 

Other things

Hi Everyone! 

So sorry I went missing for this last week, I had a crazy week and had absolutely zero free time. I actually caught up on sleep on my drive to school and in the shower, probably not super healthy. I didn’t even have much homework, I just had so much on my mind. Now that the week is winding down, I realize that this weekend I actually have a ton of homework to do and no time. I have plans Friday night to go into the city and catch up with a friend, Saturday night I’m going to another friend’s house and Sunday is my mom and I’s craft day. And of course, Saturday during the day is the Kentucky Derby, something I cannot miss. It’s one of my favorite things on this earth, I watch it every year with my mom and dad. It’s become a tradition! Anyways, all of the above had nothing to do with what I was originally going to post about…oh well! It just shows how exhausted I am. 

Anyways, I was originally going to post about Pinterest and how much I love it, but this post is already long enough and it’s getting late. 

Here is the link to my account (just for my blog, I do have a personal though)

Polka Dots and Stripes!

Posted on by

If there’s one thing I absolutely love, its stripes and polka dots. Stripes are much easier to come by in stores, but polka dots are just as cute. Personally, I think stripes are a little bit more grown up and professional and polka dots are fun and playful, but everyone should have both of those sides, so they’re both perfect! Even though I absolutely love the idea of polka dots, something always stops me from buying them. I’ve got a few spotted things in my closet, but not nearly as many stripes. I guess that’s ok, though. I recently have had to stop myself from shopping just because I cannot possibly own one more striped thing. I finally caved, and went shopping today. I just couldn’t resist the offer to go to my local J.Crew, Banana Republic, Gap etc. They’re all just irresistible. I ended up having a ton of fun, and I don’t feel guilty at all! 

These are my two favorite purchases of the trip, but there were many others that I loved just as much, and a few I had to leave at the store. I will be going back soon to get those things, we just figured it was a little too much to buy all in one day.

Woke Up Late: Springtime Outfits

Posted on by

I struggle to get up in the mornings sometimes, I’m getting better but I do still have those days. I absolutely hate feeling rushed and going to school looking like a slob, so I always have a backup outfit on hand. It’s simple and takes almost no time to put together. If I don’t have time to stand in front of the mirror messing with my crazy hair, I throw it in a simple braid or even a quick bun. Stripes are my go to pattern, they look great with almost anything and are an easy preppy essential.

Polyvore

Posted on by

Polyvore is my ultimate savior. I use it so much. I use it to plan outfits from my bed on a lazy weekend day. I just type in the brand name of a shirt or pants and it pops up. From now on, or at least until I get my dressmakers dummy, I will be using polyvore to show examples of my preppiest outfits! 

Below is an example of cute and easy springtime outfit. Image

Spring Cleaning!

Posted on by

I am such a neat freak. I love cleaning everything and anything. I clean my room every night once I finish homework, I tidy up before I leave in the morning and I always dedicate at least one day a week to a complete clean out. Although, you’d think I would run out of things to clean, I don’t. I color code my closet, I organize my desk by most important materials, I even store my pens in order of color. My bedroom is like my very own sanctuary. I know where everything is and I always leave it exactly the way I found it. I especially love the top of my dresser, that’s where I keep all of my special stuff. I have my five favorite essay nail polishes, my perfumes, and of course my headbands. If anyone knows anything about me, it’s that my headbands and perfumes are my prized possessions. I never ever let anyone touch them or use them. I don’t have many perfumes, but the ones I have I absolutely love. I have Beachy by Lilly Pulitzer, Miss Dior by Christian Dior, Stay by Gap, J’adore by Dior and I have a lot of perfumes without names that my mom has got for me on her trips. I’ve also collected so many different headbands in so many different styles and colors over the years. 

Anyways, back to the subject of this post, spring cleaning time is finally here! This means, I can finally do a giant clean out! For me, cleaning doesn’t just mean cleaning my room/house, it means cleaning everything! I go through my makeup, jewelry, clothes, email, computer, texts, contacts etc and I clean it all out! I delete miscellaneous texts, emails and contacts and I get rid of all my old clothes. 

Happy spring cleaning to everyone!
