February Favorites 2015


Here are all of the things that I have been loving during the month of February:

Beauty:
  • Essie nail polish in the color Go Overboard - I branched away from my usual red color this month. This is a gorgeous deep blue color that I feel is perfect for the winter season.
  • Herbal Essences Hydralicious shampoo - my hair gets super dry and gross during the winter, so I've been using this shampoo. It definitely hydrates my hair which is fantastic and just what my hair needed.
Food/Drink:
  • Nacho Cheese Tortilla Pringles - I didn't even know that they had these until recently, and they have become my go to snack. They are tortilla chips in the normal pringle shape and packaging with nacho cheese flavor on them. Delicious! 
  • Good Mythical Morning mug - I love watching Rhett and Link's Good Mythical Morning show on youtube (if you haven't seen them, you should really check them out they are fantastic) and this month I ordered myself their mug. I have been using it so much and I love to watch their web show with a drink in hand. 
Book:
  • The Ruby Circle by Richelle Mead - I felt like this was a fantastic ending to the series. I am so sad that this series has come to an end, but I'm looking forward to the new things that I'm sure Richelle Mead has in store for all of us :)
Random!
  • Universal Studios Minion lanyard & Minion Key Chain - My best friend got these for me for Christmas and I use them for my keys and school id, they are way cuter than the lanyards that the school provided. They are meant for pin collecting, but they are perfect for my keys :)

January Favorites 2015

I hope you all had a great January and start to the new year! Can you believe that the first month of 2015 is already over with? I certainty can't! It feels like it just started! Anyway, today I will be sharing the things I have been loving during this month. Sorry about not having any pictures, but I did try to put a link to the websites of any products mentioned.

  • Lush Rock Star Soap - This soap smells soooooo good! It has a very sweet scent and on the website they describe it as a bubble gum scent. 
  • Sweet Mint EOS Lip Balm - Where I live it is freezing cold and snowy outside during this time of the year and my lips get super chapped! I've been using this all the time lately.
  • Lazy Days, Ninja Nights Lounge Tank from David and Goliath Tees - I have been wearing this top to bed almost every night during this month.
  • Vaseline Lip Therapy Cocoa Butter - Like I said before, my lips get really chapped during the winter, so this is very helpful for that. I also happen to get a lot of nose bleeds during the winter because of the dry air inside and out, and this definitely helps prevent that (and no, I do not pick my nose, I use a q-tip and never double dip in the container, that's just gross even if you are the only person that uses it). And as a bonus, it smells good too.
  • Dream Out Loud by Selena Gomez hat from Kmart - I think this hat is so cute, and it keeps my ears warm when I have to go out in that cold weather!
  • Mako Mermaids:An H20 Adventure - I loved the H20 series when it was on TV and I recently discovered this series on Netflix. I also heard that a second season might be coming out soon. 
  • Silver Shadows by Richelle Mead Audiobook - I got this audiobook with a free 30 day trial of audible. I have been enjoying listening to it, but I'm not sure if I will be keeping audible after the trial is up. It just doesn't seem worth it to me, and I already have so many books on my shelves that I haven't read yet that I don't think I need something else tempting me to buy more!

December Favorites 2014

December is over and January is here! These are the things I was loving during December and will probably be loving during January too!

  • Girl Online by Zoe Sugg - I really enjoyed this book, it was such a fun holiday read. Click here to read my in dept review.
  • Vanilla Bean Noel scent from Bath and Body Works - I have been burning the candle constantly and I always use the shower gel and lotion too. It is the perfect winter scent!
  • So Fresh, So Clean make-up wipes - I've been wearing a lot more make-up during the holiday season and these remove make-up so easily and doesn't sting your eyes when removing eye make-up.
  •  Red Nail Polish - I love the color red in nail polish, especially during the holidays! I have been loving the No Text Red from sinful colors as well as Essie's forever yummy.
  • Taylor by Taylor Swift Perfume - This perfume isn't new, but I just got it in December and have been wearing it ever since! 
  • Lastly, Fuzzy Socks - I love wearing comfy fuzzy socks during the cold winter months!
Let me know what you have been loving lately and I will write again soon.

October & November Favorites

Hello everyone! I never made a post about my October favorites, but many had stayed the same during the month of November as well so I have decided to combine my October and November favorites into one post. Sorry there aren't any pictures! I've been quite sick lately and haven't been feeling up to doing a lot so I didn't want to gather all this stuff up for photos. Instead, stay tuned soon for my upcoming post on how to feel better when you feel sick. For now, I hope this is somewhat interesting for you. <3

Food and Drinks:
  • Sour Pez Candy - My friend had visited the Pez factory and brought me back some sour Pez candies. They were really good, definitely sour though.
  • Apple Cider - I love apple cider during the fall, it is great hot or cold.
  • Pumpkin Spice flavored things - Tis the season for pumpkin spice... enough said.
  • International Delights Hazelnut flavor - I love hazelnut flavored coffee, and these International Delights creams are great for keeping in my dorm room because they don't need to be refridgerated and they make the coffee taste great!

Beauty:
  • Softlips cube - I received this from Influenster for testing purposes in my Deans List VoxBox and I have been using it non-stop ever since. I really like the formula, it is extremely moisturizing. The only thing I don't like is the square cube packaging, it makes it difficult to close because you need to be careful not to squish the product. 
  • Warm Vanilla Sugar Scrub from Bath and Body Works - I love this scent and I need to exfoliate more often to remove dead skin during the colder months. 
  • Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Scent from Bath and Body Works - I love this scent in the fall. I have the candle that I burn whenever I get the chance and I also have the lotion.
  • No Text Red nail polish - This is another product that I got in my Deans List VoxBox. I love the color and the message it has about not texting while driving. I think red nails are perfect for any time of year, but they are especially great during the fall and winter seasons.
  • Good Soap, Vanilla scent - I have used up another soap by the Good brand from Whole Foods. I really like these soaps.
Random!
  • Pumpkin Carving - I had to carve a pumpkin for Halloween and it reminded me of when I was little and just made me feel good inside. 
  • Movie: Dracula - I saw this movie with my friends while I was home from school one weekend, and it was actually really good. I had entered with low expectations and it surprised me.
  • Music: Taylor Swift 1989 - I am a huge Taylor Swift fan, however I don't love the new album. There are a few songs that I do have stuck in my head. The songs I really like are: Style, Blank Space, Shake it off, and Bad Blood.

September Favorites



Hey everyone, I'm back with my September Monthly Favorites! I have been extremely busy this month with starting college and things to do with school, but I do have quite a few things I have been loving this month. 

Beauty
I have been using the Good brand soap in the scent sunshine. I think this is the perfect sent for transitioning from summer into fall and it lathers up really nicely. It also doesn't dry out my skin. I actually took this picture before I used up this soap, and now I've bought a new one in a different scent to try next month. 

Since it is getting cold, my skin has been drying out a lot more lately. So I have been using a CVS brand moisturizer to keep my skin feeling smooth. 

I have also been using the Love & Toast hand cream in the scent Honey Coconut for my dry hands. 
For my nails I have been using the color Forever Yummy by Essie. I think this is a great color to start out fall with. It is still bright, but it is darker than the colors I wear during the summer. And I think a red nail is great for any time of the year.

To remove old nail polish I have been using a CVS brand nail polish remover. This is one with the sponge inside and then you stick your finger in, twist it, and it removes all your nail polish. I love this because it is quick and easy. And since I am living in a dorm, it is easier to use and less messy.  

Books
I am almost done reading Four by Veronica Roth. It is really good, I recommend it if you liked the Divergent series.

I have also been listening to the audio books of the Bloodlines series by Richelle Mead. I am almost finished with the second one and will be starting the third one. I don't like them as much as the Vampire Academy series, but they are a really good spin-off and I do recommend them if you liked the Vampire Academy books.

Fashion
I have been wearing my shirt with a panda in the pocket all the time. It is so comfortable, it feels like I'm wearing pajamas. It also comes down lower in the back, so you can wear it with leggings (which I love to do). I got it at K-mart over the summer. I'm not sure if you can still get it.

Food/Drinks
Where I live it is already getting pretty cold outside, so I have been making a lot of tea and hot coco.
I've been loving this green tea by the Bigelow brand and the Land O Lakes hot coco mixes, especially the hazelnut one.

Random!
I have been loving the bed rest pillow that I got. I keep this on my bed in my dorm and it makes it much more comfortable to sit and relax or do homework.

I use my Brita water bottle all the time now. It is great because it has a filter and it helps cut down of plastic water bottles.

August Favorites

Hello everyone! This month I decided to start something I haven't done before, but I've seen a lot of. At the end of each month I'm going to share some of the things I've been loving in that month with all of you. This includes books, beauty, music, and anything else I find that I really like. So here are my August favorites!



Books:
The Watersong Series by Amanda Hocking. This is a perfect read for the summertime.

Music:
I've been loving Troye Sivan's EP TRXYE. I've especially been loving the song "Happy Little Pill".
I've also been loving Taylor Swift's newest song "Shake It Off".

Beauty:
Lately I've been loving the Honey Sweetheart triple moisture body cream from Bath and Body Works. I'm not sure if this sent is still available, but they have lots of different ones to choose from if it isn't and I'm sure everyone could find one that they like. It is really moisturizing which I needed because my skin would get really dry after swimming in the pool.
I've also been using the EOS lip balm in the sent/flavor Strawberry Sorbet.

Hair:
I've been liking the Tea Tree Tingle shampoo and conditioner from Trader Joe's. It smells very minty and makes my hair feel soft.

Fashion:
I love this shirt from Aeropostale's Bethany Mota line. It is a minty greenish color and says "Made In The 90's" on it.

Random:
I have been burning my Marshmallow Fireside candle from Bath and Body Works a lot this month. It smells just like marshmallows and it kind of has a smokey sent as if you are sitting near a fire.
