Hey guys!! With the new year this is when a lot of people decide to start working out or to restart working out. I need to do this as well so I thought I would share workouts I enjoy with you. As you may be able to tell I like variety, I get bored super easy and am always looking for a new dvd, game, or activity to keep me interested, the longest I have stayed interested in one workout is probably a little under 3 months, then I tend to quit if I don't find a new one 1. Island Girl DVD'S These are a favorite of mine. It is basically really fast paced hula and it is super fun. It involves lots of hips motion and is super quick. The workout itself it like an hour long, but it is fun enough it isn't too bad. It is good for weight loss and toning, and will definitely make you sore using these new muscles if you don't usually do these motions. 2. Leslie Sansone Walking DVD'S Now I know what you are thinking, these are for old people, yeah kinda, b...

Hey guys!! Tonight I'm reviewing the Xara Hair Straightener. I'm in love with my  Xara Curling Iron so I decided to see if they had a straightener. I was super excited to find that they did, but it wasn't available when I first found it. Recently it became available and I bought one and I'm so in love.  This has multiple heat setting you can adjust so its great for any hair type. It heats up super fast, even if its cold it only takes a couple minutes and it displays the heat. This straightens my hair super fast too, I have about medium thickness hair and it only takes me about 10 minutes if that to straighten it. I honestly think that Xara is my favorite hair tool company, I would absolutely recommend this as well as the curling iron and I'd definitely buy them again. Also it was only $40 bucks so the fact that it works this good is awesome because that's in a pretty decent price range! My hair stays straight all day with th...

1. Makeup and Beauty Products Basically anything beauty and makeup related. I am ecstatic to get anything like this from my fiancé (or anyone really lol). If there is something you know she has been wanting then this would be an awesome gift. And she'll love you for it. 2. Hair Tools and Products Going along with  the same idea you could get her things to use to style her hair. My fiancé got me a curling iron last year and I absolutely love it. You get also get her things to use in her hair like heat protectant if you get a tool that uses heat or any type of styling item she would like. 3.  Sephora and Ulta Gift Cards Don't know the first thing about makeup and hair stuff? Get her a gift card to one of these places. My fiancé has also done this and I also loved this because I got to go pick out exactly what I wanted to get. 4.  Spa or Massage Gift Cards Why not pamper your girl and get her a relaxing gift like a spa day or a massage? Not ok with ...

1. Body Wash, Lotion, and Bath & Body Sanitizer My guy tends to like the men's stuff from bath and body. I have bought him these a few times and he really likes using them.  2. Video Games and Related Accessories If your guy is like mine he loves video games. So getting him a new game or if you can afford it some nice accessories to go with it would be an awesome gift. Just try and figure out which games he likes. 3. Clothes I know you are probably thinking this isn't the best gift, but if you know him well this makes a great gift cause guys tend to have less clothes than us so you are actually helping him and this way he won't have to shop. 4. Knives and Swords My guys collects these things so he loves getting a new knife or sword. Unfortunately this can get even more expensive than video games if you get the better quality ones, but if he likes this stuff he'd love it. He would probably still appreciate it even if you got a cheap...

As you guys know I don't often talk about personal things here,  but I have talked about my anxiety before.  As of right now,  for the  most part my anxiety is going in a good direction,  it's still there but mostly under control the majority of the time.  That being said I still have many little anxiety ticks if you will.  I do little things like fidgeting a lot when I'm uncomfortable or nervous,  things like messing with my jewelry, scratching at my nail polish amongst other things.  When I'm driving I tend to put my nails into my steering wheel,  resulting in many many marks in my wheel (I'm hopefully getting a steering wheel cover to help this). I used to do this thing where I didn't like eating at parties and get togethers, but I thought I had gotten much better with that though still uncomfortable,  unfortunately that's where my step back comes in, apparently I've only gotten better in situations I k...

Hey guys! Tonight I'm reviewing the Seraphine botanicals Happy Hibiscus Blush.  Now I actually gave this to my younger cousin because I at the time wasn't doing ANY blush and this was kinda redish.  She told me she likes this.  She said it lasts all day and has really nice color. From seeing it on her it appears to blend well as well. It also has a cute packaging and it very pretty.

Hey guy!! Today I'm reviewing the falsies Push Up Angel Mascara from Maybelline. This makes your lashes look absolutely beautiful. You get plenty of product on the brush, but not an excessive amount. Speaking of the brush I've never seen one made this way before. The only bristles are on the one top side of the curve. My guess is that this helps grab all of your lashes into the upward motion and curls them and lengthens better, but I don't know. The one thing I do NOT like about this mascara is how badly it transfers onto my eyelids when applying it. I pretty regularly get this in my eyeshadow or under my eyes and it smears a lot. So although I'd recommend this for the look, you'll have to decide if it's worth the time you'll spend cleaning up the mess it makes. If you are super careful it's awesome, if you tend to be in a rush you might want to skip this one. 

Hey guys!! Tonight I'm reviewing the Tarte Deluxe Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush.  As you might already know I don't typically use pink or red blushes, but being it was tarte I decided to give it a try. I actually like this. I don't get too much product on my brush at once so it isn't overpowering though it does have nice color. It stays on quite well through the day as well. I'd still like it more in a peachy shade, but this is very pretty. 

Hey guys! Today I'm reviewing the Tini Beauty Barfly Highlighter.  Now I prefer powder highlighters to stick ones, but that  being said, this has very good pigment and a lot of shine. It creates a pretty glow and catches the light very well. It's also quite easy to use and very blendable. 

Hey guys! Tonight I'm reviewing the Juice Beauty Phyto-Pigmented Ultra Natural Mascara.  Now since this is aloe based I was afraid to put it near my eyes because I sometimes get allergic reactions to things with aloe. Therefore I gave this to my younger cousin  so I'm reviewing it based off her opinions.  She told me this is the best mascara she's ever used. She loves it. It really gives good length and fullness to her lashes and makes them look nice. She said it has good lasting power as well.

Hey guys! Tonight I'm reviewing the Colourpop Ultra Satin Lip Liquid Lipstick.  I love this lipstick.  I already like liquid lipsticks and this one is awesome. Although it has a lot of transfer onto cups or potentially people it still leaves lots of color on your lips.  It lasts pretty well and actually still looks nice through the day. I'd absolutely recommend this.

Hey guys!  Tonight I'm reviewing the pur~lisse Blue Lotus Seed 5 in 1 mud mask + exfoliant. Kind of... Let me explain,  I can't actually comment on its effectiveness or anything because when I tried to use this,  as soon as I applied it,  it started burning my skin.  As in my skin was on fire, so I washed it right off. Apparently I'm allergic to something in this,  so I like the idea of it,  but unfortunately can't use it.

Hey guys, I thought I'd do a video today instead of a blog post.  :)

Hey guys! Tonight I'm reviewing the Sol De Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream.  I've been using this for a little over a week so far. Firstly it smells amazing. I absolutely love the scent. It's overall a really good lotion. However, you will be disappointed if you buy this thinking it will get rid of your cellulite or make any physical changes to your body.  I can see no difference in the appearance of my cellulite. If you just want a great lotion though, this is awesome. 

Today I'm reviewing the Elizabeth Mott Pop! Goes the Shadow. I really like this color, the one I received is in gunmetal. It goes on very smoothly and is very pigmented.  It's very blendable and easy to smoke out.   This also has very good lasting power. I'd definitely recommend these shadows.

Hey guys!! Today I'm reviewing the Nail Medic Charcoal Infused Nail Polish.  This definitely dries quicker than most polishes which is nice.  It doesn't however avoid chipping or anything like that when I'm working kennel,  so I'd say the actual quality is on par with all my other polishes. I do like the color. It's kind of a blueish gray when on. Overall I'd recommend this.

Hey guys! Today I'm reviewing the MDM Flow Liquid Matte Lipstick.  I quite like this. It goes on more smoothly than other liquid lipsticks I own.  It has pretty good lasting power although will come off when eating or drinking.  It is decently buildable so it isn't to bad to touch up.  I think it looks quite nice and would recommend this. 

Hey guys!! Today I'm reviewing the IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Pressed Powder. I'll start off saying I do quite like this. It goes on very nicely and creates a very smooth fairly flawless looking base. However I can't say this works better for me as far as throughout the day than the other drugstore ones I've tried. After a little while my skin still looks shiny and I need to touch it up.  That being said it might just be my skin type. Overall I'd still recommend this because it does go on so well and create such a nice base, it just depends on your skin type. 

Hey guys! Today I'm reviewing the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Pencil. This one is in perversion.  I love this.  Holy crap if all of them are this pigmented that's amazing. This is the darkest black pencil I now own and I love that. It goes on super smoothly and is so dark.  I will say it moved a bit in the corner area of my eyes, but overall stayed put. Assuming you didn't rub your eyes I do think this could last through getting wet, but if you touch it it will smear or come off. Which actually works great for smudging it out,  I got a very cool smokey sultry look with this.  I'd definitely recommend this.

Hey guys! Tonight I'm reviewing the Hey Honey Come Clean: Propolis & Minerals Facial Scrub. This cleans my skin pretty well.  So as far as that goes it's good. I don't like how abrasive it is and that you don't start off using water. You put it on with wet fingers and then add water to make a cream. It's a good product, just not my thing.

Hey guys! Tonight I'm reviewing the Skinfood Egg White Perfect Pore Cleansing Foam.  I'm gonna be honest, I wasn't into trying this when I read that it was an egg white cleanser. As far as washing my face I think it makes my skin feel pretty good and it works pretty well. It does NOT however remove makeup well at all for me. Although I like this I can't say it's an item I'd repurchase,  I'm  just kinda neutral on this one.

Hey guys!! I did an unboxing of these on my youtube channel if you'd like to see that,  but my fiancé got me all these and I thought I'd individually review them here. :) Birchwood and Juniper: This was probably one of my most favorites of these. It smells very deep and cologney and I really loved it. Vanilla Coconut: I quite liked this one. It definitely had hints of both vanilla and coconut. Garden Sage and Mint: This one was interesting.  I liked it, but the mint was still a bit weird to me. It is nice though.  White Cherry and Thyme: This has a very pleasant fresh scent that is really nice. Warm Vanilla Sugar: This one smells really nice.  I was already a fan of this scent and still love it. It's very vanilla'y. French Lavender: As I said in my video,  I just don't like this one. It smells like lavender,  apparently I just don't like it lol Black Cherry Merlot:  I love this. I've never smelled Merlot but I imag...

I'm so excited it's finally October and I can finally upload this!  ^_^

Hey guys!! Tonight I'm reviewing the Makeup Forever Excessive Lash Arresting Volume Mascara.  I like this. It makes my lashes look very fluttery and pretty. It doesn't clump up badly in my lashes either unless I over do it and use way to much. It has very good lasting power as well. I'd definitely recommend this,  although don't feel like you have to buy an expensive mascara because there are drug store ones I like just as much as this,  even though it's really good.

Hey guys! ! Tonight I'm reviewing the Adesse New York Organic Infused Gel Effect Nail Lacquer.  I like the color of this very much.  It's pretty good, I really haven't had much chipping or anything from it like I usually do with polishes. It also doesn't smell as like chemically as most polishes do when you first paint your nails,  so if that bothers you this might be a good alternative.  Overall I'd recommend this.

Hey guys!  Tonight I'm reviewing the Beauty Kitchen by Heather Marianna Tropical Smoothie Skin Polish.  This is essentially a sugar scrub. Now as you guys have heard me say about sugar scrubs before I find the very abrasive although I will occasionally use them. The same goes for this one.  It's very abrasive to me and not my favorite thing. That being said, it does what it is supposed to do. My skin felt very smooth and moisturized after using it.  You don't even need lotion with this. The scent is ok although a little too fruity for me. If you're into fruity scents and sugar scrubs though you'd love this. It works quite well. 

Hey guys!! How was your week?  Today I'm reviewing the Scentportable by Bath and Body along with the 4 scents I purchased.  I absolutely love this, it looks so adorable and makes my car smell great. If you can't take strong scents though,  you may not like it. It is/they are very strong.  Sweater Weather: this smells really nice, it's like a warm hug (I'm terrible at this aren't I? Lol). It's a very warm fresh scent that I quite like. Crisp Morning Air: This one is very fally but like a nice fall morning.  It's very fresh and nice. Marshmellow Pumpkin Latte : This is sweet and very fallish.  I quite like it. Cinnamon Carmel Swirl: This smells really nice. It's definitely very cinnamony and carmely and just very sweet.
