Pamper Evening

Hello Suzies,

The other day I was feeling pretty stressed, so I took it upon myself with inspiration from Zoe to have a pamper evening.

I call this one "Stressin'".

I started out my Pamper Evening by taking a nice shower.  You could also choose to take a fancy bubble bath with candles and all but baths freak me out so I refrained.  After I wrapped my hair up in a towel, I used some of the Body Shop's body butter, which left me feeling soft and smelling fresh!  I also would like to add that, for me at least, listening to music is a great way to relax.  I highly suggest the band Daughter, and Matt Corby.  

For Christmas my mom came upon a great deal of samples of beauty products.  There were a few face masks among them, and I figured this would be the perfect way to calm mah face considering I have been breaking out recently. I cannot recall the name or brand of the mask, but you should thank me because they sucker was SMEL-LY.

The mask went on very smoothly, and had a clay like feel to it.

Twenty minutes later and I was becoming very impatient with the stinky mess that rested on my face.

Once rinsed off, I have to say that the mask did in fact give my face that "glow".  

I planned on using the Bumble&Bumble Invisible Hair Oil sample that is shown above, but somehow the tube that it was in mysteriously went missing so I'll just have to let you guys know how that works in a later post!  As an alternative, though, I sprayed some Argon oil in my hair to keep it from getting to dry when I blow dried it!

To finish off the night, I had a delightful cup of peppermint and lemongrass tea with a little bit of milk and sugar which helped me reach the perfect zen.

I hope you guys enjoyed this post and maybe find it inspiring to have your own Pamper Evening! 

Until we meet again...

What's in My Bag??

Hello Suzies, 

Let's fine out..

 FABU satchel from the luxurious and perfectly perfect TopShop.

Pencil because you never know when you'll need to write something and then need to erase it.. Oscar et la dame rose is a book I have been reading in my AP French class that I actually need to return to ma prof.  Finalment est mon journal qui WOAH soz.. Finally is my journal which hold my deepest and darkest secrets (random ideas, styling ideas, and wishlists).

 Here are some various coupons I have been given.  The Creme coffeehouse, Chic-fil-a, and Bella Ragazza all of which I must use by the end of the year.

 Hand sani because germs are not allowed.  Absinthe hand cream from the Body Shop, can I just say that this is the best hand lotion I have ever come upon and I wish I could have a lifetime supply.  Powder and powder brush for when you begin to shine brighter than a diamond.

 I think my iPod touch is in here purely because I had forgotten that it was in there.  As you can see it has been well used and is still used because I can't plug my phone up to my car and jam.  My phone is playing the one and only, ever lovely Haim.

 A thin ponytail holder, no-crease headband, rose gold bangle, gold bolt bracelet, and two pearl earrings minus one of the earring backs which is somewhere on the art room floor at school.

 A lot of lipsticks because we all need options/ I put them in there and neglect to put them back in the bathroom.  I store them in this paper Lush Cosmetics bag within my bag.

 Handmade yarn from a Shaker Village, a watermelon Dum Dum sucker, and a piece of copper sheeting for an art project I am doing.

 The contents of my "wallet" which is actually a small cosmetic bag so it has been excluded.  EOS minty lipbalm, an Abe and eleven cents, a hotel key card from my One Direction concert that I accidentally kept, my driver's license, and my yearbook staff press card.

Lastly my bag holds my glorious car keys and keychains. The One Direction one was given to me by Leslie and the other is from Anthropologie; they were both given to me on my sixteenth birthday, actually.

I hope you all enjoyed this, and good luck to everyone studying for finals!!

Love XO

Snow Dayz

Hello Suzies, 

Yorkshire tea is delish.

 Cupcake hands.

Prepare to jig.

The time when students sit on the edge of their couch, crossing their fingers while watching the local news, waiting to hear the coveted words, "School has been called off.", has begun.  Some students beg for snow, but then you have 'that kid' who is like,"NOOOO I want to have a long summer."  Me too pal but one unexpected day off of school is gonna be ok.. I promise.  hahaha 

I woke up to the sound of a "Snow and Sleet Mix" this morning, or shall I say afternoon.  I got up ate a tangerine, watched some OnDemand Glee, and then started my morning routine.  My routine consists of putting my contacts in; brushing my teeth; washing and moisturizing my face; applying makeup; and doing my hair. I put on very minimal makeup today just so I didn't feel like a complete bum.  

My outfit I am currently wearing is one that I would not mind wearing for the rest of my life.  My top/tunic thing is from Apricot Lane; it is very light and flowy.  My leggings- me oh my I adore them- are from Forever 21.  This is only the second pair I have from there and I don't know why.  For starters they are not very expensive at all, I think they were like 8 or 9 dollars, and just have a really nice sturdy feel, ya know?  I highly recommend them!  

On to the second picture..  This is a lovely present that was given to me by my wonderful friend Lesley last year around this time.  Makes me feel like I'm with my ancestors back in Eire.. not quite.  I recommend it, not highly but I recommend it.  My rings that I am wearing are both sterling silver.  One is a monogram ring from an Etsy shop, the other is a midi ring from Free People.
