So after Monday I will have finished my last exam and will be able to finally enjoy summer , the best time of the year ! I plan to spend this summer at the beach<b> EVERY</b> day and maybe plan some travelling to California, how do you guys plan on spending it ? Anyways I have put together a short list of some items that I have been eyeing for summertime. </div>

These shoes are so casual and perfect for everyday wear. I really love pastels, and the light colour of this shoe could go with multiple outfits.</div>

A cardigan is perfect for summer nights when it is a bit chilly, but not cold enough to wear a full jacket. Plus Brandy cardigans are the comfiest one's that I have yet to find ! </div>

So this blog post is about five different things that make me happy. The reason why I wanted to make this video was because for the past week I have been really sick and stuck in bed all day with a cough. Since I couldn't do anything I was becoming bored and a tad upset ! So I decided to make a list of a few things that make me smile ! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5cYE7aMSlFSUwlHqjh2hRiRPd_ji6E1Pn908hvcUH3azA-hWEoV4C1Td1ZdBmpJzOkFnPFOffUR9PDhhldxf9nf-4HSsGszEylt5cRe5f7iciEl1i1Y_0nsJnvR7aznBEMlqwOuDIC63-/s1600/large.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5cYE7aMSlFSUwlHqjh2hRiRPd_ji6E1Pn908hvcUH3azA-hWEoV4C1Td1ZdBmpJzOkFnPFOffUR9PDhhldxf9nf-4HSsGszEylt5cRe5f7iciEl1i1Y_0nsJnvR7aznBEMlqwOuDIC63-/s320/large.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are in no particular order so I'll start off with travelling. I love travelling. Whether it's a week long vacation or even just a road trip I think that going somewhere new and seeing different cultures is really important. When I get away it relieves so much stress and also helps me to put my problems into perspective. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Second thing that makes me happy are my pets ! I have a bunny, a cat and two dogs. When you come home and see you pets all excited to see you , that just warms my heart. They are also good companions to have when an unexpected scary movie trailer comes on when you are home alone.. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The third thing that makes me happy is tumblr. I love tumblr. A lot. When I first starting using tumblr I was thinking " What's the big deal about this?" But then when you start following blogs and reblogging photos, you are hooked. I love seeing all the pretty photos and it makes my day when I stumble across a really sarcastic post. Here's my tumblr if any of you are interested... :) sundaymorningelegance.tumblr.com </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The fourth thing that makes me happy are my friends and family. I have a few close friends that I trust my life with, one of them I've known for 11 years ! I feel like this helps with our friendship because we both know what each other have been through. I'm also really lucky to have a close relationship with my sister and my dad, as this is usually uncommon for teenagers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The last thing on my list that makes me happy is simplicity !! I do not like when things get complicated or cluttered and it actually stresses me out. So keep things simple - at home and with your relationships!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope that these five things also make you guys as happy as they make me. I made a video of this post on my youtube channel if you guys want to check it out, I'll leave the link down below. Unfortunately exams are coming up soon so there most likely won't be a post or video until they are done, but you can always check me out on twitter or instagram ! </div>

I ombré - ed my hair ! woot ! I absolutely love it. I feel that it is PERFECT for summertime to add a bit of lightness without the commitment of being all over blond. Because the bottom half of my hair is dyed, it needs to be taken care of differently then I would take care of my natural hair, so here is a video I made to talk about what products I use. I apologize in advance for the poor quality, I filmed this off my phone as I have lost my camera :(<br />

Now for anyone that knows me, they would know that I am SUCH a girly- girl. I love anything girly, pink and yes, glittery. hehe. I have trouble finding books that are made for a girly girl ! As I find that they are either too cheesy, or just have been looking in the wrong section. I have four books I wanted to share with you guys because if you love style, princesses, cupcakes and perfume, they are for you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The first one is Lauren Conrad's Style book. I love this book because not only does it cover fashion and beauty, but it teaches you what will be useful in your closet and includes some beauty tutorials. The part that I really liked about it was the Key Pieces section, as well the travel section. I am a huge pack rat and hate to leave things behind when I'm going on a vacation, so the "Strategic Packing" page was super helpful so I don't need to bring two suitcases for a weekend get-away. And also, who doesn't want to take any advice from Lauren Conrad? </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok so the next book I got when I was a bit younger, maybe 14 or so, but I think that it is one the funnest books! It's Meg Cabot's Perfect Princess book. It's from the Princess Diaries saga and I have read this front to back countless times. It's really fun because they talk about anyone from "Perfect Princesses" such as Anastasia, to "Should-Be Princesses" like the Powerpuff girls. Anyone who had ever wanted, (or perhaps still wants) to be a princess should pick this up for helpful tips to become an everyday princess. </div>

The third book is delicious. Looking at the pages could easily induce drool. It's called "Bake Me I'm Yours... Cupcake Love" by Zoe Clark. If you love baking you need this book. It shows amazing cupcake designs as well as the original recipe in the back. I actually haven't tried to make any of the decorations yet, but I have baked the "Chocolate Temptation" recipe. It was to <i>die</i> for. </div>

The last one is a very elegantly presented book. It is written by Jo Glanville-Blackburn , " A Passion For Perfume." It is such a pretty book containing pictures of perfume bottles, flowers from which the scents are based upon and classy displays. It talks about the different kinds of perfumes, such as oriental classics, floral, oriental and a few more. Something that I found helpful about this was that you could read this book to get a feel of what scents intrigue you, so the next time you go to the shop your trip could be much easier. </div>

Happiness is simple, right ? For some, that may not be the case. We get so upset when someone says something mean to us, but is that really why we're upset? Now I'm not saying that it's normal to be happy if someone says something mean, as no one likes to hear those things. What I am saying is the reason that some things affect us so deeply is because we truly think them about ourselves. Just think about. Perhaps you have put on a few extra pounds than you would have liked. You already are upset about the fact that you are gaining weight and the last thing you needed was that rude comment from someone. This only saddens you even more. Or let's say that one day you wake up with terrible blemishes all over and someone comments on it. The reason that we get so offended by this, is because someone is simply taking the words out of our head, and using them against us. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now with that being said, we cannot change those around us. We can only try to change ourselves and the way we react to things. This can be a long, and difficult process, but with time happiness can yours.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What we need is to come to peace with ourselves. For some of you reading this, you might be thinking that this is impossible. Everyday girls and boys, including myself, point out something negative about ourselves. "Oh my knees are too knobby", and "my hair is too frizzy". Why is it that we always jump to the physical aspects in a negative approach? Learning to compliment yourself on your inner traits, such as kindness, courage, etc, are so much more important. I bet you know those girls who are so beautiful, girls are always jealous and all the guys fancy them. But once you take a look on the inside, you can see that they are broken. Even though I blog about beauty, it isn't everything. When you are able to compliment who you <b>ARE</b> and not your appearance, so much beauty will shine through. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I believe that we can only become at peace with ourselves if we are willing too. If you hold negative energy in from something someone will say, you always remain upset. So next time someone does or says something mean, forgive them. <i><b>Do not forgive them because they deserve it, but forgive them so you can be at peace</b>.</i> So you can move on. With this being said, do not let others take advantage of you so always stand up for yourself. Even confronting the person who said a rude comment, is a way of forgiveness. It gives you that sense of closure, and then you can be happy within.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am still on my way to become at peace within, but I can already feel the difference. I have started doing yoga which I try to do at least 3 times a week, and it can easily be done at home. Be in a room, or outside, with no TV or computer on to distract you, put the cellphone away, close your eyes and relax.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course you are going to get bad days, it's a part of life. But in general you should be happy. There are so many beautiful places and moments and opportunities in life to let ourselves get in the way of it. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The other day I picked up some items for the bath, as you may know how much I love baths. I found these <b>Luminous Bath Pearls by Calgon</b> which I had never seen before so I decided to pick them up sheerly for the prettiness of them. Now I believe that the ideal purpose of this product is for the appearance of younger looking skin, but there is never any harm in having moisturized skin. The pearls contain three main ingredients , pearl powder, collagen and vitamin E. This is called "Vita-Pearl Technology." As well as these benefits the pearls have such a delicate smell to them, and this lingers after the bath. Pour a handful into running water and the pearls will disintegrate and leave you with a fresh smell and soft glow. I picked these up at Shoppers Drug Mart, so I believe that they shouldn't be too hard to find! </div>

I cannot believe that it is already May ! Where has the time gone ? In less than two months I will be done school, and will be able to focus more on the things I love, such as this blog ! April was a very tough month for me as I had many exams and tests all planned within the same month, isn't it great when this happens? NO. But I did have help from these next five beauty items. So in case you have a lot of school, exams or stressful events coming up in the future, you might want to use one of these beauty products. They got me through it !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first one is Purity Made Simple by Philosophy. I had been using this cleanser before this month, but I just want to emphasize how great is is. There is a slight scent too it, but nothing over powerful. It leaves your skin so smooth that afterwards you want to just touch your face.. but don't as this could cause more blemishes hehe. It has been a huge help in keeping my complexion clear and smooth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4RDjM2QHfPiPEz6c2cqkEOisBs2RsPXto00ipcA0hQOoolC2ln4yd8iuy0X7HBEukW_soWarVjHuc_zBJh4ug05rrTnYm6lEpuc1zGDxPbsvtIEMD7ypNLFq_hJXhgT19nKgdZUN1sXer/s1600/IMG_9008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4RDjM2QHfPiPEz6c2cqkEOisBs2RsPXto00ipcA0hQOoolC2ln4yd8iuy0X7HBEukW_soWarVjHuc_zBJh4ug05rrTnYm6lEpuc1zGDxPbsvtIEMD7ypNLFq_hJXhgT19nKgdZUN1sXer/s320/IMG_9008.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
The second beauty item is also a facial product, and is called Facial Clay Mask by Freeman. I picked up the Avocado & Oatmeal version and I absolutely love it. When rinsing the mask off I could feel it cleansing my pores and my face felt so fresh afterwards. Another bonus to this item is that it is very inexpensive, so it's perfect for any of you who already spend to much money on beauty items. (Guilty.)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now moving onto makeup. This foundation I have had for quite some time and always re-purchase it. It is the Revlon ColorStay foundation for Combination/Oily skin. Having such fair skin can be a challenge when shopping for foundations as they tend to appear very orange, even in the lightest shade. But this one does not show up orange ! I got it in the lightest shade, 110 Ivory. The coverage of this is very full but feels quite light when applying.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The fourth item is an item that I picked up not too long ago, but you would not be able to tell by looking at it. It is the L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Serum in Freshly Rose, or S106. This colour is a medium shade of pink, so it makes it for a very natural wear which I though would be perfect for the summertime. It also is very moisturizing so it doesn't chalk up on my lips.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last but not least is an eyeliner trio by Physicians Formula. The full name is Custom Eye Enhancing Eyeliner Trio in Nude Eyes. These eyeliners apply very smoothly and have a pigmented finish. I also like how you can play it up with more black, or tone it down with the neutrals.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Lately I have been so stressed. With tons of exams and presentations my anxiety has been off the charts. Surely I cannot be the only one. When I feel stressed I feel like I will never be able to catch up with what it is that I'm doing and also that I won't be as prepared as I need to be. Whew ! As if stress wasn't bad enough to deal with, it can also take quite a toll on the body ! Being stressed can weaken the immune system, leaving you feeling ill. When I'm ill I often miss school, but this only makes me more stressed. What a vicious cycle ! Throughout high school I have found different methods to de-stress, making life a bit easier :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One thing to do when you're stressed is take a bubble bath. Get out your favourite bubbles, a few candles and soak. Imagine that all the stress is being washed off your body, leaving you feeling refreshed and ready to take on the task.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
( Sex Bomb Bath Bomb from Lush, smells so heavenly )</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you find that the bath method didn't work , as all you could think about is how much you have to do or whatever it was that was stressing you, try going for a walk or for a run. I know that we're told not to run away from our obstacles, but I find myself literally doing that. When I get stressed I run so fast and just imagine myself running away from all the stress. This method really does help me and at the end of my run I feel like I have left all my stress behind me. </div>

However, if you feel a bit lazy or would just prefer not to go for a run, try listening to music. Go into the most relaxing room in your house (preferably your bedroom), dim the lights, lie down and listen to some music. I find that Skinny Love by Birdy , Boyce Avenue or anything that has a piano in the background is very calming. </div>

Life can be very stressful , and stress is inevitable. A bit of stress every now and then is quite normal, but sometimes it can be overwhelming. I hope that some of these methods will help you to relax so you can continue on happily with the day. </div>

But I came across this cute little candle that smells as good as it looks ! It is the Sweet Spun Sugar scented soy candle by scent portfolio. It smells EXACTLY like cotton candy! The thing I like about this candle that I normally don't find in sweet scents , is that it isn't overpowering. It leaves a light, but noticeable aroma of sugar in the room. How sweet ! <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPcMwBZVlJg_EipxqygBwjxfr5bw3KYlyTBY1PYW6FG0-UsiPTvi6dbYFnHOZOlKJE5jsNRcIJqvyUn8LBFbpXKFUcBj1QCnuNYEfNwKZyIGZaNICSbbLKbMICJldXqXbVGiAp9-DtsFFg/s640/blogger-image-964195914.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPcMwBZVlJg_EipxqygBwjxfr5bw3KYlyTBY1PYW6FG0-UsiPTvi6dbYFnHOZOlKJE5jsNRcIJqvyUn8LBFbpXKFUcBj1QCnuNYEfNwKZyIGZaNICSbbLKbMICJldXqXbVGiAp9-DtsFFg/s640/blogger-image-964195914.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrDok7HwHBC9ovIUyVKtsVwlDfuQdPcWziZsr7AINLckvZxDdWEPp6PAg69oZQt3A057h5IbGRRA9sTQ6d1eM-6TQN5RNWFRGjmXd1NbJbC1_pYM4KVprTDfNsvHwJ2j35d4J1BVZTSeYo/s640/blogger-image-2055984484.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrDok7HwHBC9ovIUyVKtsVwlDfuQdPcWziZsr7AINLckvZxDdWEPp6PAg69oZQt3A057h5IbGRRA9sTQ6d1eM-6TQN5RNWFRGjmXd1NbJbC1_pYM4KVprTDfNsvHwJ2j35d4J1BVZTSeYo/s640/blogger-image-2055984484.jpg" /></a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14313327708229871738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515851334945098641.post-23230040108604802252013-04-22T16:44:00.000-07:002013-04-22T16:44:55.827-07:00Mini Forever 21 Haul ! <div style="text-align: center;">
So I did a bit of online shopping at Forever 21 and I thought that I would share with you ! The shipping was un-believably fast. I placed the order on Thursday the 18th and it arrived Today ! ( Monday the 22nd.) So that was a super nice thing to come home to. Anyways, the shirts are all very loose and light which I think will be perfect when it starts heating up. Since these are baggier I feel that they will also be very versatile. I could pair them with high waisted bottoms, tuck them in, or simply let them hang loose. The shirt on the left is a light pink with black polka dots. The shirt in the middle is a bit thicker in material, but is so soft. This one has black sleeves and black around the neck, with contrasts well with the grey. The shirt on the left is very fun, and has navy sea shells all over. I also ordered a pair of Hello Kitty sock slippers... Yeah.. </div>

I don't know about you guys, but I hate the look of my nails without any polish. But I also get really impatient and don't really like waiting for my nails to dry. Dilemma ! Lately I have been loving light blue ish green colours on my fingernails because I think that they just look very lovely. </div>

The first nail polish is the Rimmel London 60 Seconds nail polish in Mintilicious. The colour of this one is really pretty and fun. This polish dries so quickly that by the time I am done painting both hands, the polish is dry and ready for another coat to be applied. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The second nail polish isn't a mint color but I absolutely adore it. It is the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Color in Blue-Away. Now normally I wouldn't wear blue nail polish , I don't really like dark colours on my fingernails, but this shade of blue is so light that I had to try it out. Turns out I love it ! This is one now of my favourite shades to wear , so do venture out and try different colours you normally might not. You could end up finding your go-to shade ! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The last nail polish is the Revlon nail polish in number 85, Minted. Now this one isn't a fast dry polish but I do find that it dries a bit quicker than most nail polishes, so that was a bonus. I really like this colour because it looks very chic and is very mint in pigment. </div>

Hello ! In everyone's room they seem to have that one item of decor always present. My one friend likes to put posters all over her walls, while another friend likes to put her latest heel purchase on display. Mine ? Candles. I. Love. Candles. Every time I go into Bath & Body Works, or even walk by a store relatively similar, I cannot help but go in. Every thing in the store smells so delicious. The last time I went in I picked up three different candles. They all have three wicks to them, but the smells vary so I have a candle for every mood I am in. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first candle is by Slatkin & Co. and is called Raspberry Sun Tea. I was drawn to this one because it smells exactly like it's name and reminded me of when I was younger and my sister and I would have lemonade stands in the sunshine. This scent really brightens your mood and is perfect to light in in the morning because it has an energizing aroma to it.</div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: center;"> </span><span style="text-align: center;">The second candle is the candle that is almost all used up. This one is called Oceanside from the Bath & Body Works collection. Now I bought this one near the end of summer right before school, so I believe that I may have been experiencing summertime withdrawal... This smell is very fresh and light, this being the reason why it is the most used. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
The last, but most certainly not least ! , is the Lavender Vanilla candle from the White Barn collection. The scent is so calming and relaxing so it would be perfect while reading before bed. Lavender is used for relaxation and my doctor had recommended using lavender essential oil before bed to help me sleep, and I am here to tell you it does help ! So any of you with sleeping problems should pick up some lavender and you will not be disappointed with the results. </div>

Ever since I was little, I have always had a fashion icon that I would constantly try to base looks off of. Of course they have changed, since mine used to be Ariel from The Little Mermaid - I was 6 ok? But for the past few years my top fashion influences have been the same. Eleanor Calder and Kendall Jenner. These girls always look very put together and classy even just wearing a simple outfit , which I admire. If one , or both , of these fashionistas published a book about style I would definitely be the first in line!<br />

Hello ! So Spring is arriving ! Technically it has already started, but it is difficult to tell in this cold and rainy Vancouver weather. I love spring time because all the flowers start to bloom and everything is very pretty. I also love spring because that means cute dresses ! I am a huge fan of spring/summer dresses but only have the warm seasons to wear them, unless paired with tights or something cozy to keep warm. I have many dresses that I love but I narrowed it down to my top three spring dresses so here they are! </div>

The first out of the three is very summery with the bright colours. It looks very boxy in the photo but when on it is fitted at the top, then flows down nicely at the bottom. I got it last spring from Zumiez so I could not find the exact link, but I did find one that is quite similar which I believe may be the 'updated' version of this dress. </div>

This next one is clearly very simple, which is the exact reason I made the purchase ! I love that it is very versatile and could be paired with different accessories for an infinite amount of looks. The fabric is very soft as well, which makes it comfortable for day time wear. I also chose this high-low Maxi dress because it could be worn more so then short dresses.</div>

The last one out of my favourites is my newest addition. I went into the store and fell in love with it ! I picked it up from Garage, and they had so many other patterns in the same style. The dress is a peplum style which I currently adore as I find it very flattering on all body types. Also the navy with white stripes just feels very cute and trendy at the same time, perfect for being in the sunshine ! </div>

I am obsessed with fashion and trends. I am constantly looking at weheartit at all the cute outfits, which can give me an idea for an outfit to try. I love putting together new outfits just as much as I love buying new ones (hehe). But there are a few items that I find myself wearing weekly. They are my closet essentials! Now they may not be everyones essentials, but I think that the essentials will vary from person to person, as everyone has a different type of style. Here are my essentials.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The first item that I currently adore in my closet is my jacket from H&M. I really love this jacket as I find it very versatile. It's a loose fit that is longer than most jackets, which I like as I don't like wearing tight clothing on the top half. It also makes it very comfortable to wear on long flights or car drives.<br />
It is perfect for fall as it is lighter than a winter jacket, but could still be worn in spring. The colour is a military green with greyish brown camouflage heart shape on it. I don't have a huge difficulty finding other clothes to match with this item either, so wearing it to or from your destination is ideal.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The next item is something that I think everyone should own a few pairs of, winter or spring. Leggings. Personally I like the look of leggings on myself better than jeans, and I also find leggings more comfortable than most jeans so why not? I have leggings in a few colours, black, grey, snakeskin and a few others. Most of my leggings are from Garage, as I like how the fabric and that they always have a huge selection of leggings. Having a pair of black leggings would be beneficial to mostly any of you because there are a whole variety of shirts and blouses you could wear them with.<br />

<br />
The third item in my essentials is my purse.I don't buy a new purse that often as I always fall in love with my current one. I had been looking online at the topshop website and had my eye on a purse for a while. So I decided that enough was enough and I should just make the purchase. It is the Studded Lady Holdall purse. I really like how there are two little straps to hold or an across the body strap for whatever you prefer.The colour being beige is again very versatile and the size is medium which permits for any daytime or night-time use. Doesn't this bag sound perfect ?!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
The last item of my essentials are my combat boots. They are a nice brown colour with laces on the front and on the inside it is very cozy. These boots have lasted me long enough that I forget where I purchased them, but the brand is called Brash. These also match with most of the items in my closet, which I find very useful. I couldn't find the link to this item but I purchased them at Payless.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
So there you have it ! Those are my closet essentials. I think that it is very important to have key pieces that you can mix and match outfits with. This way it will save you a bit of money, or will allow you to purchase more accessories to really change the outfit up to your delight. :)<br />

So a few weeks ago I picked up the Lasting Finish lipstick by Kate Moss, Rimmel London. The colour I bought is number 12 , the name is Rossetto. I am in love with this lipstick. I have been wearing it almost every single day since I purchased it. This lipstick is very pigmented and the colour is gorgeous.<br />

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Normally I tend to shy away from bright lipsticks, as I had never been able to find one that also does a great job at moisturizing, but this one does the trick ! Another perk is that is stays on for quite some time, so reapplying is not necessary. I will definitely be going to buy more colours from this line. I highly recommend it as it is an all around perfect lipstick for night and day wear ! </span></div>

I have to admit, I love materialistic things, but at the end of the day this doesn't make me as happy. I remember how excited I was when young when I heard my dad come home. I would hear the door open, run to the front and just hug him. These little things, and moments are really what make life wonderful. I love the simple things in life, so here are a few that really just brighten my day.<br />
<br />
White flowers. I love white flowers, any kind. Roses, tulips, you name it. There is something so elegant and clean about a white flower. It looks so fresh and has a certain innocence to it. Not to mention all flowers really do smell lovely.<br />

Writing. I love when I read a quote or a sentence, and it just really makes you feel. You feel things that you didn't even know you could feel. I fall in love with this type of writing, and tend to read it over and over, and daydream about it. I like to think who the author wrote this about, and what they were going through at the time. I also love how each piece of writing can effect an individual so differently and deeply, and can connect to our lives. One of my favourite writers for a while now has been The River Speaks. You can check out their writing here ... http://theriverspeaks.tumblr.com<br />

Now this next one sometimes confuses people. I love the rain and rain makes me happy. People usually get confused, as rain is usually associated with sadness and tears. Yes of course there are gloomy days, but I see the opposite. I see the rain as a beautiful thing. It's so calm to listen to, especially bundled up in your bed reading your favourite book. But it is also wonderful to walk in. I love walking on the beach when it's raining and watching the rain hit the edges of the waves, for me it is something that is so magical, yet we take this for granted. Next time it rains, try taking a walk in it. You can have an umbrella if you wish, but just watch the raindrops hit the ground, as if all your worries were doing the same thing.<br />
<br />
These are just a few of the simple things that I love. Simple is beautiful. Happy is beautiful. Life is beautiful.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14313327708229871738noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515851334945098641.post-8421743455419343472013-03-14T15:23:00.000-07:002013-03-14T18:36:34.225-07:00Aloha! Hello !<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For those of you who are still in school , (such as me ) spring break is quickly approaching ! I tend to go away over the break and for some reason this stresses me out ?! I never know what or how much to pack, and always find myself anxious until i get there. Maybe out of fear that I am forgetting something. So heres a post that will help you get a better idea of what you should bring on your spring break trip. For the following trips you will of course need to bring the essentials, but I am going to tell you some things to try adding to your list for a stress free vacation. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A Trip In The City.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you are going into the city do check the weather. You do not want to arrive to what you thought was going to be warm, to realize that in fact it will be raining - the entire time. So plan ahead ! Bring part of your fall or winter wardrobe, such as long shirts and pants, and lots of layers.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Bring :</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tropical Paradise:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you happen to be going somewhere hot like Hawaii ( Me! ) you do not need to bring anything fall related, unless you want to be very overheated- not ideal. Bring lot's of your summery outfits such as shorts, tank tops and of course , your favourite bathing suits. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Bring :</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

<br /></div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Spring Break is a time for relaxation. Even if you are not planning on going anywhere, do take the time to relax - you deserve it ! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ideas: </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- Try a new local restaurant or cafe </div>
<div>

<div>
Those are just some of the things that I recommend bringing, or doing, over spring break. However there are so many more things to do ! I want YOU guys to comment below any tips or items that you think should be added to this list. Have a great spring break ! </div>

The use of the term "Real Women." Currently I was out shopping, looking through clothes, when I heard these two women talking behind me. They were staying stuff like " Why do they make size 0's or 2's, "real women" shouldn't be that size," and ""Real women are supposed to have curves."" Immediately I became a tad insecure, as I have always worn the smaller sizes and also lack curves.<br />
<br />
When I was younger I was one of the smallest kids - always. As I got older I managed to gain and maintain weight, and am now a perfectly healthy weight for my height. But when I hear rude things about what "Real Women" should look like, that upsets me. It also brings me to my next point, what should "Real Women" look like. As you may have noticed I have been putting the words 'Real Women' in quotation points , as there is no exact structure for what women should look like.<br />
<br />
To me, "Real Women" are women who can embrace their body and take care of it. No matter your size, going to the gym will help you with your fitness goals. Do not mistake getting in shape for trying to lose weight. They are completely opposite! Getting in shape is different for everyone. It could be toning up, improving your stamina, or losing or gaining weight for HEALTH purposes- not appearance. Another way of taking care of your body is to eat a balanced diet. I'm not going to tell you to banish junk food and sweets forever, as this would be impossible for me (hehe). What I am going to tell you is to make sure that on most of the days you eat the well rounded diet consisting of fruits and veggies, whole grains, dairy and protein. This way when you eat your favourite dessert, it will feel well deserved instead of feeling guilty. Along with those two tips, drinking 8 glasses of water and getting a good night's sleep are ways that you can take care of your body. When you feel good on the inside, you feel good on the outside as well !<br />

<br />
Every one owes it to themselves to be in shape, mentally and physically. So whether you are a size 0 or a size 16 , or whatever size you happen to be, embrace it. There are times when I get upset about having little to no curves, but that is the way my body type is. Learning to love your body can be a struggle, but well worth it. Try not to let those comments from anyone bring you down, because you are all so beautiful.<br />

Hello ! Since this is my first blog post (eek!) I decided to talk about something very relatable. How to have a good morning ! Personally, whenever my morning goes well , the rest of my day seems to be better ! So here are the top five things that start my morning off on a good note.<br />
<br />
1. Give yourself time. I know sleep may sound very appealing and that you try to get as much of it as possible! But this usually results in lots of running around and stress in the morning, which only carries on throughout the course of the day. So try to set your alarm 10 minutes earlier than you would have, to avoid a rough start.<br />
<br />
2. Eat! Many people tend to skip breakfast because they are in a hurry and simply do not have the time to sit down and eat. But it is a proven fact that eating breakfast is very beneficial! It gets your metabolism going and doesn't leave your tummy rumbling by first class. Take the time to sit down and have a healthy breakfast, such as greek yogourt and fruit or whole grain cereal, and you will notice a difference in your mood!<br />
<br />
3. Caffeine. The recommended sleep time is around 8 to 9 hours. But let's be honest, who really gets that much sleep ! Whether you were up last night looking on Instagram or tumblr (guilty) or just could not stop tossing and turning, a quick cup of coffee or tea can help give you that energy boost that you need in the morning.<br />
<br />
4. Music. I love listening to music all the time. But in the morning I find that really energetic sounds are a tad... frustrating?! I have to admit, I am not always a morning person and having to listen to someone who just has all this energy is tiring. So instead , I opt for something soothing. Currently my 'wake-up playlist' consists of songs such as 'Heart On Fire' by Jonathan Clay and 'Video Games' by Lana Del Rey.<br />
<br />
5. Outfit. Now your outfit shouldn't be the most important factor of your day, but I tend to feel more confident when I am wearing a great outfit, whereas wearing a baggy hoodie and sweatpants make me feel more introversive. So put on the clothes that make you feel great, a swipe a lipstick and you are ready to go !<br />
<br />
So these are just some simple things that help me in having a better morning, which result in a better day. These five tips really seem to help me, but everyone is different and may have a different technique! So, in the comments below I want YOU guys to write what is involved in your good morning.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14313327708229871738noreply@blogger.com1
