Monthly Favorites | March & April

-
Hello everybody! It seems like it has been ages since I did a favorites post. I decided to combine last month with this month, even though it is only half way through April. I have several sections of favorites for you. 

The first category is Makeup!

My current foundation is this Covergirl Clean for Sensitive Skin in Ivory. Now, I actually do not have sensitive skin but I purchased this thinking it might be a good investment for days when I am particularly broken out. It has become my regular foundation now and I have really been liking it :) On top of my foundation, I have been using either my Maybelline Fit Me Concealer or my Smashbox Concealer. I then spray my Urban Decay DeSlick Setting Spray. On top of that, I have my next favorite which is my Nars Pressed Powder in the lightest tone they have, Flesh. On top of that, I put my next favorite - my Bobbi Brown Blush in Pretty Pink. I find this sequence in my daily beauty routine has been giving me great results and I really love the shade of this blush. 

Next category - Beauty!
I have been loving the Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes. They are probably my favorite ones I have ever tried. They are not only very refreshing and pleasant smelling, but they easily remove the majority of my makeup and leave my face feeling clean. 
I ususally don't stick to a certain type of deodorant; however, the Dove Advanced Care Cucumber scent is probably my favorite one out there. They just came out with the Advanced Care line and I really think it is longer lasting. I will definitely keep purchasing this one!
My new eye cream is the First Aid Beuaty 5 in 1 Age Delay Eye Cream. I have been using this for about two weeks now and I feel like it is doing its job well. My last eye cream was a sample size of the Laura Mercier Eye Cream that is like $70-$90 in real size. It was great and lasted me about a month and a half of almost everyday usage. But now, for only $30, I have an eye cream that is effective and just as good, if not better!
The last one are my eye drops. I have to mention them because they are amazing. It is the Visine Advanced Redness and Irritation Relief. I have very sensitive eyes and have been having some problems with them for the past year. I find that these drops are soothing, reduce the redness, and just overall a staple for me to have at all times. They also re-wet my contacts if they feel dried out.

 Next category is FOOD!!!


Two of my favorite edible items at the moment are Madhava Agave Nectar and Sahale Snacks, especially this one - Crunchers Fruit & Almond Snack. Both are healthy and make me feel really good. I use the agave nectar as an alternative to using sugar in my tea because it is much better for you. I also find that when munching on these Sahale Crunchers, a little goes a long way. I have had this pack for almost a week now and it has been a great little snack here and there. 

Alright, so those are all my current favorites :) I hope you enjoyed this post and don't think it's too weird to do a favorite post in the middle of the month. 
Have a great weekend (and Easter to those who celebrate) <3

Flower Love

My little sister Mary, who is almost 13, makes headbands, bows, and clips for her hair out of cut material from old shirts and cheap fake flowers from the store... and they are amazing !! She is already a beauty/fashion guru in the making. I feel so inspired by her to be more creative with styling my hair, while saving a bit of money :) So here are some photos of her clips and headbands: Flower Love was inspired by a photo we saw on Pinterest*. She immediately wanted to recreate the look with a fishtail braid when we saw it because she just bought some daisies that looked quite similar. Here's me casually sitting in some grass modeling her work... (Secret: I was actually wearing boxer shorts underneath this dress and a car filled with attractive guys  drove by... I was kind of maybe a bit mortified because when standing you could definitely see the boxers. Needless to say, we ran and hid). Flower Power are two of her flower headbands that, in my opinion, are just...

Recipe | Watermelon Rice Krispies

June is here which means SUMMER HAS FINALLY ARRIVED! I can't wait to make fun summer inspired recipes for the next two months before I leave for England. I will share as much as I can with you and hopefully inspire you to try these out as well. My little sister and I saw Ingrid from MissGlamorazzi do these awesome watermelon inspired Rice Krispie treats in one of her most recent videos and we immediately knew we had to make them! She made a very healthy version but we knew our brothers and our dad would want to eat these so we went old school and used the traditional marshmallows and butter routine :) Ingrid always posts really yummy and exciting recipes that I definitely want to try. Anyway, here are some photos of our process and the final product! DISCLAIMER: We are not shown in any of these photos because we had both just showered after our 4 mile workout and were not looking so hot. THE RECIPE:  Ingredients: (We made three batch...

Monthly Favorites | August

SO, after over a week of not having my laptop to be able to blog on, I finally have it returned and fixed! I am so relieved and now without further ado, here are all of monthly favorites from August, starting with the beauty products and a book: - Philosophy's Purity Facial Cleanser is amazing! I used it for about three weeks with the Clarisonic and now that I am at college again (without my mother's Clarisonic), I have been using it just by itself. As I work it into a lather, I can feel my skin being refreshed. I really enjoy the general scent of it and so far I like how it has been cleaning my face.  - Now, everyone and their mother has been talking about the Maybelline Color Tattoos and I thought I would hop on the bandwagon and give them a whirl. I really have been enjoying 'Bold Gold' and 'Tough as Taupe'. They are extremely matte and I have been finding that I don't need to wear an eye primer underneath because the shadow remains matte a...
