Motivational Wednesday

It's Monday. And many people have this mindset that Monday's are suppose to be horrible and dreadful. It doesn't have to be that way. It's the first day of a new week, meaning time for new memories, new mistakes and new lessons. I am also guilty of thinking that Monday's are horrible when in reality they're not even that bad. 

Anyway, the point of this post was to share my thoughts on being thankful and remembering that our lives aren't all that bad. Last year I feel like that was the most unhappiest I have ever been. So many things happened in my personal life, things that I thought I was never going to get over. Things that seemed like such a big deal at that time. And because I'm not good with dealing with heartbreak or bumps that come show up on the road, I became extremely unhappy. I didn't want to do anything. Looking back at it now, although I still get sad about it from time to time, it's not as bad as I made it seem. I felt like I was the most unluckiest person in the world and I was thinking why do I have to suffer. I'm not saying our problems aren't important enough, because they are. But sometimes we get so tied up in our own lives we forget that there are some people out there that have it so so so much worse than we do. 

I have been pretty okay since than, but I wish I knew better how to let things go. And how not to make them seem like such a big deal. Shit happens. People make mistakes. There are people out there that will hurt you. But we need to learn to let it go and move on. And we need to focus on the things that make us happy and be thankful for all the things we have. I've decided to make a list of all the things I am thankful for when it feels like everything is going wrong:

-My Doggie

-My best friend

-My mom

-The love of my life

-Coffee

-My journals

-Netflix

-Chocolate

-Tbh any type of candy

-Music

-My flounder stuffed toy

-Books

Ipsy April 2015

I think this Ipsy bag and items included has been by far my most favorite out of all the ones I have received. I Have never loved every single stem before (at first sight). I only got it today so I can't review anything but everything looks so pretty and they seem like the type of products I would like. It includes a blush, eyeshadow, eyeshadow primer, lipstick and lip balm. And I absolutely LOVE the bag as well. It's so summery and it's getting me excited for summer weather!

The first item is a lipstick and I think it's the prettiest lipstick I own. The package is beautiful. The color I got is Red Door Red 02. The package looks like an actual door. So cute. The color is a bit too out there for me but I definitely want to try it out.

The next item I got was a blush. It's the Pandora's Face in pink carnation. I know this is because it's only a sample but I wish it was packaged differently. I hate the plastic it comes in but this is definitely a color I would love.

Next is an eyeshadow primer. This one is the MICA beauty cosmetics. I don't really use eyeshadow primer but I will try this one out just to see what it's all about. 

One of the beauty products I use the most is lip balm. So i was glad when I saw this one. It's the all natural tinted lip and cheeks balm by mullein&sparrow. (I don't ever use tinted balm on my cheeks because I feel like it looks weird on me.) And I didn't really like the color but it comes out a nice pink on your lips.

Last but not least is the nude dude volume 2. I think this packaging is adorable. It is a nude eyeshadow, and it is shimmery. The picture doesn't do it justice but it is so pretty. I love nude eyeshadow for a natural look so I am really excited to try this one out.

Once Upon A Time Fashion

One day I was extra bored so I decided to watch Netflix. I wanted to watch something new so I clicked on Once Upon a Time. I didn't know what the show was about besides the fact it was about all the fairytales. I watched the first episode and i was SO hooked! It is absolutely amazing. I finished the first season in about 4 days. (Not too proud about that. Ha.) The only part I'm disappointed about is the fact that the Little Mermaid doesn't show up until season 3 and Ariel is my favorite princess! Anyway, I just love how all the fairytales are brought together into one show. I also love all the twists they added on to the fairytales. I can't wait to catch up. I think the acting is so good and there is so many characters I am in love with.

I also think every character has their own style and it really comes through in what they wear. Basically their personalities are shown through their clothing and I absolutely love that. I wanted to blog about all my favorite characters and their styles.

Ruby (Red Riding Hood)

Personally Ruby is my favorite when it comes to fashion. She's the trendy rock/punk one. She always wears red (duh) and black. And I love her red streaks in her hair. I feel like she's the one in the show that has style and dresses really nice. You'll see her in hats and accessories and she's just on top of it when it comes to fashion. I'm always looking forward to seeing what she'll wear next.

Belle

I love Belle's look as well. She also has a great style. You'll usually see her in heels and dresses. Although it sounds simple she makes it look so cute. The dress she has on the left has been my favorite outfit of her's I've seen so far. She dresses pretty girly but not TOO girly.

Regina

Although I would never wear Regina's clothes in real life I think her costumes are amazing. I love seeing her as the Evil Queen just because I love looking at her clothes. Out of all the villains she is definitely the most stylish ones in my opinion.

Favorite Lipstick

           

Warmer weather means bright lipstick colors are back! How exciting! I recently got this lipstick in an Ipsy bag. When I first saw the color I thought it would be a perfect Winter shade because it looks like a berry color. Then I tried it on and it looked so bright so I haven't worn it. I tried it on again a few months later and absolutely fell in love with it. It's also really moisturizing and doesn't dry up your lips. I think it's a really pretty spring shade and I think I'l get a lot of use out of it. It's the NYX butter lipstick in the shade BLS05 HUNK. If you're looking for a new lipstick and don't want to spend a lot of money I would highly recommend this one. Now I want to go buy all the other colors they have!

Start of Something New

I always start this blog, then abandon it and then start all over. I want this to be for me and I want to start using my creative side more often. I currently attend college and am majoring in fashion business, but beyond that I'm not doing anything to help my career. I don't want to just sit around and wait for things to happen. I want to make things happen. I thought starting a blog would help me but i'm just not motivated enough. I do love blogging and posting stuff on here but I just get so lazy sometimes. I want to start again and I don't want to give up on it like I have all the other times. I want to set a little goal for myself and start posting at least once a week and then just increase my posts from there.
