Birthday & Job!

Hello Lovelies!

So this has been a busyish week!

First, my 20th birthday was on Wednesday! Woo! Didn't really do anything special, just quiet day at home.

Then the next day I started training for work! My job isn't any thing too special, just cashier at a local grocery store. Have to pay for my college tuition!

Anyways! I just thought I'd keep ya updated!!

And now onto a little birthday haul :)



New purse! I love it! Its a Marc by Marc Jacobs.



Then picked up this wallet for a good deal at Piperlime.com! They give you $15 off for your birthday and always free shipping!



Inside of the purse, its huge!



Love this color! Its Sephora by OPI in "Shopping Frenzy", the polishes are expensive and rarely get any unless its something special!



I love that body spray from VS! Its Pink's "Fruity & Bright" and I can't describe it but I love it and doused my purse in it! The other bottle is MAC brush cleaner, I've been getting lazy with my brush cleaning! ;)



Yup, I depotted my shadows! Was running low on space! I am going to do a post with swatches of each shadow! It'll be next one!



Three new lip products. From left to right: Viva Glam V, Creme De La Femme and Hush, Hush Rose (all from MAC)

I back to MAC'd for Creme De La Femme, its such a pretty pink with a little golden touch! VG V is a great summery-bronzey color and Hush, Hush Rose is a LE lipglass but its so pretty!

Arts & Crafts Time!

Hello Lovelies!

So this weekend I decided to be crafty. I had an empty shadow-box-thing on my wall and a bag full of empty MAC boxes. I never really hoard anything but my MAC boxes...weird!

So I thought I'd do some kind of visually-interesting design in the little box! However, the eyeshadow boxes are super dull when they don't have a shadow in them; so I decided to print out swatches from the MAC site and put them in the empty boxes to add a little color!

I just took whatever was colorful and pretty! And found out the eyeshadow boxes have a little slit type thing that the pictures fit perfectly into!


Boring box and a swatch!


See the little slit which is perfect for sliding the pictures in?


Not gonna lie, it bothers me the swatches on the inside are not the color the box says it is. Example, this box is from "Retrospeck" and that is sooo not it!


Ta-Da! All finished! The big silver box was from the holiday collection!


I think this is fun and cute and easy to add a little makeup pizazz to your room, vanity room, whatever!

This is just a joke! I did a Jersey makeover before and this is just another ;)

To Depot or Not to Depot?!

Hello Lovelies!

First, let me say HORRIBLE timing for starting off Project Kick Ass. Right after I wrote that and looked at the calender it was that time. Haha, I will resume it! Or, eh, start it!

Secondly, I need to unpack my camera! I did a quick little look the other day and realized I have yet to unpack my camera! Its somewhere hidden among my dorm stuff!

But today's post is going to be quick!

Do you depot your MAC eyeshadows? Or leave them in their original housing?

I never thought my little collection would grow enough that I'd have to contemplate this! I currently have 10 eyeshadows but plan on picking up a few more soon (birthday is on Wednesday!) and my current storage solution isn't working out!

A MAC palette holds 15 shadows. My little drawer system was working splendidly but now my eyeshadows are growing out of it and can only be stored vertically thus I can't see them!

So I made a little pro-con list:

Pro: Eyeshadows are cheaper when only in pan, saves space, a bit more organized
Con: You drop the palette and your probably screwed, a bit harder to travel with.

But then I was thinking if I do depot I'd probably have them all magnetized so I can easily put them into the smaller palettes which hold 4 shadows....

What do you do?! Any suggestions?! If you don't depot, how do you store the shadows?

Project Kick Ass

Hello Lovelies!

The semester is over and I'm out of the dorm.

And I have realized something, something that has been bothering me.

I freaking gained weight this semester.

I stopped really eating meals at the school cafeteria because well they're unhealthy, unsanitary and unappetizing. Salads? Don't get me started, the salad bar is bacteria's playground. Sandwiches? Well one can only have so many turkey and cheese sandwiches before becoming sick. And even more sickening is students feel like the little deli food area is a buffet and reach in and grab stuff. And then the grill. I do not need to say more, its like fast food but worst.

AND DID I MENTION THE BREEDING GROUNDS FOR ECOLI AND THE LACK OF GLOVES?!?!

So instead of eating prepared food I'd grab some awesome snacks in the form of unhealthy delicious goodness. With the occasional fruit cup and chugging down juice full of 2 fruit servings.

I could just FEEL that I've gained weight, usually its just go on the scale and then go "DAYUM, FOR REAL?". But I've just felt absolutely horrible about myself.

And its a dreadful feeling.

So now that I'm home for the summer and able to eat and live more healthily, I will.

But I'm not doing this for anyone else BUT ME. (If you follow me on Twitter, you know about a certain asshole's comments).

ME. Not you. But I will share it with you.

But instead of calling this a "diet" or "lifestyle change" or anything else that Oprah would say regarding the subject, I'm calling it PROJECT KICK ASS.

Why? Because I'd like to know I am in shape to mentally kick ass as well as possibly physically, not like I would. But you know.

Because with self acceptance comes confidence. I'd like more of that, please.

Don't worry I won't be one of those people who tweets every bead of sweat the pores of my body produce and every molecule of food I've consumed.

I'll just do little updates.

SO ARE YOU READY? If you feel like joining Project Kick Ass tell me! We can like totally share stories and braid each others' hair and like...just kidding! But I am serious!


This post needs something cute, my dog is freaking cute...



Max after one of our 2 mile walks last summer! I bet I'll be like that too with him! Puppy and I gotta get in shape!

PACKING QUEEN!

Hello Lovelies!

FINALS ARE OVER!! OVER!! Half way through my undergraduate studies!! WOO!!

Now it is just the waiting-for-my-grades-game. I hate this game. I hate having to wait weeks for grades!

I have two grades in thus far (2 out of my 6 classes, yes I did 18 credits!) and......so far so good! I got A's in both my Forensics and CSI courses! Woohoo!! I mean I better have, its my major!

But what have I been doing? Packing! My room is so empty now!







Yup, I'm pretty much done! Just have my makeup still out and obviously still my bedding, TV (watching the Yanks/Sox now, GO YANKEES!) and PC!

Do you guys hate packing too?! Or prefer unpacking?! I almost prefer packing because when unpacking everything needs to go somewhere particular!! Still hate packing!!

MAY! I LOVE MAY. AND LAMP. I LOVE LAMP.

Gosh I haven't seen that movie in a while! I need it in my collection! (Tell me in the comments if you can name that movie!)

Hello Lovelies!

I am so bored. Why? Because all my major finals that required days of studying were last week. And this week? 2 more finals but they're the you-either-know-it-or-you-don't type of finals. Like sign language and English.

And yes I could pack since I get to move out of my dorm on Saturday. But its been 80*-90* here in lovely NY and its obviously way to hot to pack. And its humid. And did I mention I only have a lousy tower fan.

I love May. Why? End of the school year and my birthday on the 19th!

I thought I'd be fun to do a little wishlist :) I've seen other bloggers do them! Lemme stress the WISH!! ;)

1. Marc by Marc Jacobs Black Hobo

I love. Marc Jacobs knows the NY girl very well. My mom did order this bag for me in March haha because it kept going out of stock. Needless to say when I was home on Spring Break I secretly opened it! Love!

2. Juicy Wallet, I've been wanting a new wallet forever and this one is cute. AND EVEN CUTER IS THE FACT THAT I CAN GET IT ON A GOOD SALE!


3. Dr. Henry Lee's Famous Cases

I'm a forensics major and geek, no more need to explain ;) If you get it from his site, for $10 more you get it autographed!!

4. Pink All Over Spray in Fruity & Bright

Been meaning to get this since the summer before freshmen year when I got the lotion and body wash!!

Any other May babies out there?! Whats the best way to combat the heat when you're without AC?!
