I complied a list of 100 aspirations and things I want to complete. Some of these have multiple parts. I’ve always been a very quiet person and I’ve generally viewed life through a window. The last few years I have been putting myself out there more and more to experience more of life and I love it. While it will take me much work to get rid of my fear I think this lovely list will help me reach my goal of being Happy, Healthy and the person I want to be.I encourage everyone to at least write a list of things you would like to do. It may help you realize things about yourself you didn’t notice before. Plus it’s loads of fun!This now has it’s own little section on my blog and I will add posts here updating my progress every so often. ——————————————— (C) = Complete If you’re going…

I purchased three plants for my window sill since I have a wide window sill by my bed I always wanted to have plants in my room so I got a small greenhouse from IKEA that I will put plants in as well as these three containers (which were less than a dollar, I forget the exact price but it was very cheap) The plants I have here are a Polka Dot Plant, Umbrella Tree and Aloe Vera. (My mother is already plotting on my Aloe plant) All three require bright light. I have them facing south  (not like they had any other sill they could have gone on though) and it just worked out perfectly. I love the Polka dot plant it brings just the right amount of color contrast. All require minimal watering in the winter and I was a bit worried about them being on this sill…

I haven’t had many purchases as of recent. However, I did order 4 bracelets from a China etsy shop. I figured it would be easiest to simply screen capture my order with the shop details and all. If you click on the information on the right it will show you the details on each item I purchased, the shop name as well as the total price I paid. If you have never visited Etsy or are unsure what it is, Etsy is primarily a site where you can purchase handmade or vintage items. Some sellers are higher quality then others but you can always find treasure if its the style you like. (www.etsy.com) Etsy is one of my favorite places to visit and get ideas. Here are some close ups of the items. (click them to view larger image) Here is the clasp which is similar on all of them While I…

I know I skipped a few months, but I really wanted to post this. Funny thing is it was suppose to be done for August so since then I’ve purchased a few of these products lol.P.S. Here’s my awesome secret for shopping some things from Mod Cloth. Find an item that you really like (doesn’t usually work for clothes) and search Ebay for it. I’ve mentioned the Pocket Watches before but a lot of the things Mod Cloth carries individual stores or sellers post on Ebay at a much cheaper price. It’s always worth a shot! I just got the most beautiful scarf about $12 (not even counting the cost of how much shipping would have been) cheaper then Mod Cloth was selling it. YAY for Ebay! What have you been dreaming about?

Hey All, I start school tomorrow so I wanted to have at least one thing up. I’m going to plan to post twice a week, work it into my schedule. Try to pick certain days or something. I miss blogging! Anyway so here is the look, I’ve worn it a few times, slightly different ways.      Obviously the photos are from two different days. I used liquid liner on the day with the brown shirt, and a soft blended charcoal pencil (barely noticeable) on the day with the bright purple shirt. What I used: Urban Decay eye shadow pencil in Sin (all over lid) Urban Decay eye shadow pencil in JuJu (in crease blend with finger) NYX jumbo eye pencil in MILK (base for multicolor eye liner) Coastal Scents Creative Me Palette Coastal Scents 88 Color Palette (to enhance some of the Creative me colors for transition blending)…

This is a bit of a bold fun look, to be honest unless it was halloween I would not wear this out lol but it was totally fun to mess around with. If you’d like to see a tutorial on a look very similar to mine check out the video at the end of this post! As usual I used a variety of products at both cheap and higher prices. I decided to do a “Sailor” inspired look after wanting so badly to get the MAC Sailor stuff and knowing it would be entirely unreasonable to do it. Anyway, I wish the flash didn’t wash out the color so much (I did this at night so no natural lighting sad face) because the eye shadow on my lid was straight up GOLD haha. Crazy right? If you like experimenting you need this color seriously. It’s by Glamour Doll Eyes in…

So in April, I purchased the Mrs. Bunny Travel Collection. All the brushes that I wanted were in the travel size and hey if I can save some money by purchasing the travel size then so be it lol. Upon arrival it of course had lovely packaging and each individual brush was packaged inside of the container itself so they wouldn’t get messed up which I love, shows me they care about their product. I’ve washed all of these and not one of them lost hairs which I thought was awesome. All of the brushes have the sigmax HD fibers. They are as soft as can be, remind me of a Revlon brush at the super store, which reminds me I still need to get that brush haha. This collection includes: E30 Pencil Brush E40 Tapered Blending Brush E55 Eye Shading Brush E65 Small Angle Brush F30 Large Powder Brush F40 Large Angled Contour…

So I still have my nail polish that I won in their cardboard boxes since lets be honest, I need proper storage for my nail polishes lol there isn’t enough room! I was thinking about that China Glaze Riveting color (the bright orange jelly) but I was feeling a little…edgy? So I went with darker nails using the matte finish grey of Stone Cold (also China Glaze) on eight of my fingers and the bright Riveting on my thumbs. Topped with ELF’s Matte Finisher. I even did all of my toes in Riveting! On a totally side note, sorry I haven’t been around much, I’ve been busy in life. I do have quite a lot of swatches already photographed and reviews that I want to get done though! Still working on getting some Nail art posts up. Talk to you soon!

So a little over a month ago I received my samples from Virus Insanity. All of the samples that I purchased were duo-chromatic and they have quite a good selection.  I had 5 samples, I tried to get a variety of colors but I mostly picked cool tones ones. I honestly can’t remember if I had picked a collection or individual shadows. Their names are: Bad Luck – Lavender color with a blueish-greenish-pinkish reflex Black Cat- plum/navy with purple reflex 13- Light, Soft Pink with silvery-white reflex Step on a Crack – Green with a gold reflex Incubus – Navy Blue with a lighter blue reflex and maybe a hint of something else I think the color that I like most applied on my arm was Bad Luck but for whatever reason I haven’t gotten it to apply very pigmented yet. All of the other colors apply wonderfully especially the darker colors. The sample sizes run at…
