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.
