Lush Wishlist | June 2014 Ed.


So, I am obsessed with Lush!  Their products are environmentally friendly; many of which are free of packaging, and those that require it come in little black pots that the company recycles.  You can even bring in 5 empty black pots and trade them in for a fresh face mask!  Throw in the fact that their products are organic, in some cases vegan, and 100% cruelty free, who wouldn't have a wishlist here!


Madame Butterfly, how did you know that I have been craving a bubble bath? and with lovely floral accents caressing the senses, and up to six uses out of this wand, what more could a girl ask for?!


This Breath of Fresh Air Toner will transport you away from the hustle and bustle of a hectic schedule, and drop you on a beach with a fruity drink in your hand.  From the moment this toner is applied to your face, you remember the hot sand in between your toes, and the gentle sea breeze whipping your hair.


I  like to look on the Brightside of life; with it's vibrant colors and tangy tangerine undertones, Brightside Bubble Bar really knows how to brighten up your day!  Soaking in this citrus scented sunrise will kick your morning into high gear, leaving you smelling tangy and sweet, and able to conquer anything the day ahead throws at you!


Ladies, we don't wake up fresh faced and dewy like Hollywood likes us to believe we should.  Hell, even Kate Upton and Taylor Swift wake up with their hair plastered onto the side of their face.  That is why we need to embrace our beauty, because those around us see the beauty in us that we stubbornly refuse to believe is there.  Our morning skincare routine means making sure that our faces are glowing when we walk out the door, and prepared to combat the harsh pollutants the world throws our way.  We are Gorgeous creatures, and this moisturizer belongs in our arsenal to defend against just that.


The magic behind this Popcorn lip scrub isn't the salt and sugar mixed together to create an exfoliation experience that only happens when opposites attract, ridding your pout of dry and flaky skin cells.  Nor is it the coconut and jojoba oils that brings hydration back into your thirsty lips.  It is, in fact, the power pot that cripples snack cravings!! That is, until you get your hands on whatever salty or sweet treat you want to snack on.


This final product is poetic.  It reminds us, that like a Phoenix Rising from the ashes, this bath bomb allows you to hit the reset button on a lousy day.  As you drop it into the hot water, watch all the negativity you've endured sink to the bottom of your tub, fizzing away.  Let the spicy apple scent seep through the cracks of the bathroom door, and as the bath bomb rises once again, know that soaking in its golden and violet tinted waters will clear your mind, and you will finally be free to let it all go.

May Favorites 2014 | Indecisive Multitasker


I cannot BELIEVE I've been moved into my new house for OVER A MONTH!  For this reason, I have been seriously slacking on blogging and videos.  I also do not have the best lighting in my new house for recording videos, so I'm not too happy with the few I've filmed.  I have also been dealing with all the bills that come with buying a home, so I've been budgeting like crazy, and I haven't had as much to spend on my favorite beauty brands.  Fortunately, I scraped up enough cash and coupons to buy a few newbies.  

PS- this is an April/May combo

1. Benefit They're Real! Mascara


2.  Liplicious Hydraglass


3.  Rimmel London: Kate Moss 11, 107

Oddball Favorites!

1.  Frozen

I get that this movie came out months ago, and people are already getting over it, but this is how I look at bandwagons; I wait to jump until almost everybody has gotten off, I can't help it.  I love everything about this movie!!  I love how relatable Anna is, and belting out Let it Go in my car with the stereo blasting (so I can't hear myself sing).
