About Me

a little about me-

 im a girl in the suburbs. jesus keeps me going. i have no idea what my future holds. i have trouble planing it, everything seams so final with college and a career and all. which reminds me of the stress i have with school and SAT and scholarships and sports. oh and somewhere in all that i try to have a life and be a nor

mal teen. 

i know relationships are the most important thing while im alive but i cant help but be distracted by pointless tasks. 

i also know money is meaningless-you cant take it with you- but the desire to be ritch and have a land rover and the louie bag is always there.

i know i should always do my best, but i sometimes feel guilty being better than others, like i am too proud.

Sephora's Beauty Blockbuster

Ultimate Blockbuster - Collector's Edition

I bought this amazing collection of Sephora makeup; i am so happy i did. It has every color you could want. It is perfect for playing with your look and trying bold trends without spending tons of money on colors you will only use a few times.

Ill start with the eyeshadow. There are some cream eye shadows which i wasn't excited about until i realized how perfect they are as eyeliner. The powders are great, but i would recommend layering them to last longer.

The lip gloss has great color but is somewhat dry, its best in combination with lip balm or gloss. The other down side is it does not last much longer than an hour and a half.

The face powders (blushes) come in a variety of colors. they are great for highlighting your your contours with the mixture of light and dark shades.

The lip liner and eye liners are better than i expected them to be, but what was i thinking this is sephora. The only thing is the eyeliner did smear more easily than i like, it is good for a smokey eye though.

Enjoying Summer, Polyvore 2

Yay! i made a new polyvore. im happy to say it is better than my first one, but there is still improvement need for me to be one of the most popular on polyvore's site. 

I haven't updated latley because i have been out enjoying what is left of summer, im so sad the days are getting shorter. Back to reading and studing :(   hopefully once school starts, i update more. 

Check out this verse i found really inspiring:

     Ecclesiastes 3:2

     [there is]

     A right time to plant and another to reap,

     A right time to cry and another to laugh, 

     A right time to embrace and another to part,

     A right time to hold on and another to let go,

     A right time to wage war and another to make peace.

this is a limited selection. read the rest here

it really emphasized the point to enjoy the rest of my summer that now is the time to hang out with my friends and finish my summer reading so that i can fully concentrate on my school work this year.

Life is awesome

Life is a comedy. An optomistic outlook can change your life for the better. Look at life through a childs point of view and you find humor in little things and see everything with a new curiousity. this picture makes me laugh . Its a zebra horse.

Bright Idea Nail Polish

Ok so, many people have been seen wearing bright polish this summer to name a few Rihana and Lindsay Lohan. Neon nails are so bold and perfect for summer.

Some brands with hot new neon lines are Essie, Orly, and Channel.



I love keeping up with polish color trends because $7 gets you a bottle of fantastic color that will be envied. I found this blog that is devoted to nail polish, well its actually lacquer but same difference. I got the images from it. Check out all lacquered up.

Easy Summer Outfit

This outfit is perfect for a stroll down the beach or for going out to coffee in the morning. It is so simple yet so classy.

This dress is great because the thick straps allow you to easily wear a bra, without worrying how to cover up the straps.

This belt is skinny and can easily be worn at the waist to create curves or through the belt loops to dress up jeans.

gladiator sandals: simple and chick. What more can i say?

This bracelet is adjustable and can also be worn as a necklace or a belt, making it well worth the nine dollars.


Summer is going fast, be sure to enjoy it while it is here!

Polyvore

Polyvore is a great idea. You create a collage of clothing and pictures. The best part is there is a link of websites on the right side that takes you to the site the individual image in the picture is from. You can creatively show your personal style while you can get feedback on outfit ideas for others.

Glam Rocker:

Summer Fun:



Vintage Romantic:

Polyvore is like cutting up your favorite magazines to make collage, only you can share it with the world. I wish I had time to put together pages as cute as these. I will try to put a few together, it is such a great way to display an outfit.

Counting Calories through SMS

Calorie counting can be difficult, especially when eating out. Many fast food restaurants have started showing the amount of calories in their "healthy" menus, and even some sit down restaurants have created healthy smaller portions including the number of calories.

When your favorite food, such as a Starbucks Cinnamon Dolce
here is an example what you will see when you get a text:


yays: I got the text almost instantly. This service from Diet.com is perfect for when you are standing in line weighing the difference between your favorite and what you think is more healthy.
nays: The only downfall is that you have to sign up online at diet.com and you must be 18 to create an account, or have your parents make one and allow you to use it. They say that kids under 13 aren't even allowed to access the sight, I'm not sure why.

Remember: although everyone wants to be as toned as toned as Madonna, well maybe not that strong, but you are beautiful no matter what because you were created perfectly.

Weary?

So, many Americans are stressed out weather it is from work, school or family struggles. It is apparent from the abundance of anxiety drugs, i found ten.

Stress has many bad implications including loss of sleep, strained relationsips, lower grades, and weight gain. None of these are positive things.

People are searching for an effective way to deal with it, medicne and eatin right can provide temporary relief but only one person can provide an escape from your daily life.

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
Matthew 11:28 (NIV) BibleGateway.com

Spring Cleaning

Spring cleaning is rarely fun but usually rewarding, who doesn't love a clean room? Here are some ideas to organize your closet.


1. Get rid of everything you haven't worn in the past year. Are you really going to wear that tee shirt you bought two years ago because you fell in love with it at the store, but haven't worn it since? Probably not. Get rid of it.
Some ways to ditch unwanted clothes:

• Give them to charity such as salvation army. Salvation army is a great choice because you help someone in need out. Find a Salvation Army here.


• Sell them to a resale shop. At Plato's Closet you get cash on the spot, the downside is that they don't always accept clothes. When they are accepting they are very picky, don't pay much for clothes, and usually take over an hour to sort through the clothes. Find a Plato's Closet here.


• Have a clothes swap with all of your friends. Go to someones house and have everyone bring some pieces of clothing that they are just tired of. It's a good excuse for a party and a free and easy way to switch up your wardrobe.

2. Organize your closet. Give it some type of order. When you can quickly see what you have you will be more inclined to be creative with your outfits. Separate your dressy clothes from your every day jeans and your pants from your shirts. This makes it easy to get dressed quickly, especially if you hit snooze too many times like I do.


3. Invest in some organizational tools. Here are inexpensive ways to keep your closet clean and pretty.

This hanger is perfect for belts and scarfs. From Linens and Things its only $3.99, at that price you can't afford not to be organized. Buy it now.




These boxes are the perfect size for everything from DVDs to Books to headbands. They are only $7.99 for a set of two at Ikea. They come in Red, Green, Black or White. Buy them now.





This dress frame jewelry holder is a sophisticated way to organize your jewelry while showing it off at the same time. It is so cute it is worth the whole $59.00 at Pottery Barn Teen. Buy it now.





4. Be creative. You can organize without spending a dime and be Eco friendly.

• Instead of buying boxes, use old shoe boxes and use wrapping paper to personalize them.
• Wrap belts around the buckle then place a rubber band around it. All your belts can bee neatly displayed in a drawer.
• Use the hangers from the dry cleaners. If you find them too weak string some together with yarn.
