Naked 3

Today Im going to review the Naked 3 palette which recently came out and it is so beautiful! This palette is supposed to be all rose-hued neutrals and Im really excited about how different it is from the first two Naked palettes.It has twelve all new shades and they are all so pretty and perfect for anyone. I was especially excited to receive this palette because I have blue eyes and rosy toned eyeshadows are supposed to look good on blue eyes. These eyeshadows like all Urban Decay shadows are super pigmented and long wearing.The palette comes with a highlight shade and a black with red shimmer which is perfect as eyeliner and ten other shades that can be worn on their own on the lid or made into a smokey eye which personally I can neither do nor pull off. haha. It also comes with four samples of eyeshadow primers that have multiple uses in them, though I would of rather had them put a mini of the original primer in their like they did with the other palettes. Even though this palette is pretty pricey I definitely think it is worth the splurge.
Merry Christmas xx

Winter Must-haves

It's officially the holiday season and I'm beyond excited! Christmas time is  my favorite but I feel as if Christmas was just yesterday and I need more time till the holidays begin. Mostly because I still have lots of fall candles, I want to burn until I start using my Christmas ones, But I still love Christmas and so I decided to show you everything I love around this time of  year so basically this post is a Winter/Holiday Must haves! Enjoy :)

First, you cannot have a December without an advent calendar and I'm completely obsessed with this one from Starbucks, instead of chocolate their is different flavored caramels inside the little tins and in the last one their is a $5 gift card! And the best thing is, it's reusable!

Im a HUGE tea drinker and I love the teas that Celestial comes out with in the Holidays. I love the Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride tea for when I have a little bit of a sweet tooth and it really does smell and taste like a sugar cookie! I like to drink the peppermint green tea in the morning because green tea boosts your metabolism and peppermint settles your tummy but I really just drink it because its delicious!

Mariah Carey came out with a holiday nail polish collection for OPI and let me just tell you, it's AMAZING! I purchased four of the nail polishes and I love them all! OPI is also my favorite nail polish formulation. (From right to left) Visions of love, I snow you love me, In my Santa suit, My favorite ornament.

                                                      

And what is Winter without Candles. These two are my favorites for this season except I haven't started burning them...LOL. Anyway here are the descriptions for the candles since I stink at describing scents. Frosted Cranberry- Inspired by ripe, red cranberries dusted with fresh snow and a blend of juicy peach, raspberry and vanilla. Snow day-A bright and joyful blend of spruce branches,peppermint and sweet vanilla that captures the fun adventures of a snow filled day.

Behind the scenes..lol

Hope you enjoyed this post! Have a fabulous day!

Motivational Monday #3

Merry Monday everyone! Did you have fabulous weekends. I spent a lot of time lying in bed watching Gossip Girl, I mean what else would I be doing?!



Today's motivational monday is pretty self explanatory, but I thought what better quote to use then something about happiness which I think most of us need on a monday morning.

 Happiness is contagious. You realize this when you spend time with a really bubbly and cheerful person, that have you come away feeling super positive and like nothing else matters then your happiness and not how you look or act but how you feel, Which is quite a good feeling. So spread a little joy even if its smiling at the woman passing you while you walk your dog or opening the door for a stranger. Tiny things like that take such little effort but the effect of them go so far.

                                                       Stay Gorgeous

Lush Haul

I love Lush way too much so when my amazing dad surprised me with a bunch of lush products I nearly cried. I don't have a Lush near me so when I received these goodies you can imagine I was pretty excited! It's really funny because the other day I was watching Zoella's Lush haul and I was so obsessed with all the things she got so now Im going to share with you what I got.YAY!

First off I got the Rose Jam body wash which is a limited edition wash for the fall and winter and let me just tell you, this smells like a million roses mushed into one body wash and O my goodness it is delicious! I also got the charity pot lotion which has a nice fresh scent and the money from this lotion goes to the Edge of Seven which is an organization that educates and empowers girls and women worldwide. Going into Bath products I received the Twilight bath bomb which I have heard a lot about and it smells super yummy! Then I got the Christmas Eve bubble bar which smells super nice and sweet. I also got the penguin bubble bar which is so cute, and it smells really good. Sorry Im so bad at describing scents. And the last things I was graciously given, was the Miranda soap which is like the best smelling, fruity soap ever! So I hope you enjoyed this little Lush haul and you got some ideas for the next time you take a peek into Lush!

Easy ways to be healthier

Hey guys! So today I wanted to share some tips on how to be more active and healthy without really thinking about. So here are some easy ways to enjoy a healthier lifestyle!

tip 1:Sit on a yoga ball! If you're like me you're probably sitting at a desk most of the day so opt to sit on a yoga ball instead of a chair, this will improve your posture and its good for random yoga ball crunches!

tip 2: Always choose the stairs! Its as simple as that...no elevators!

tip 3: Skip the chips! Go for hummus and pretzel crisps! If you didn't know, Pretzel Crisps are thin pretzels that have the taste of a pretzel but without the carbs and they're great for dipping!

tip 4: Stay hydrated! Water has a ton of benefits and it helps with bloating.

tip 5: Sleep! Get at least 8 hours of sleep. Sleep is the only way to heal your body from all the working out  you should be doing ;)

Vampire Diaries

Today I wanted to do a post talking about something besides beauty. So what better than to talk about my favorite TV show. I have been completely obsessed with the Vampire Diaries since last year, when I saw it on Netflix and decided to watch it, one of the best choices I have ever made...lol. First off everyone on this show is very attractive especially Damon and Stephen or Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley. So even if the show sucked I would probably still watch it to look at their beautiful faces.Not to mention Nina Dobrev is super gorgeous! I'm not really a fan of Twilight and I was afraid it was going to be like that but it is totally not! This show has a way more elaborate plot and I think it is a great show for everyone, unless you get grossed out by blood, Then you probably don't want to watch it. I got over my fear of blood from watching this show so thats a plus... I guess. Anyway season 4 just got released on Netflix so my addiction to this show has rekindled and if I don't post for a while it is probably because Im watching The Vampire Diaries!

St.Ives Green Tea Scrub review

It feels like forever since I have posted on my blog, mostly because I was having a huge writers block and had no idea what to do a post on. I didn't want to write something I wouldn't enjoy myself, and this may not be the best post in the world but I really wanted to share this product with you guys. So today Im going to do a review on the St.Ives Green Tea Scrub. This product really reduces redness and makes my skin look a lot healthier! Now I don't have a huge problem with acne so Im not saying its a miracle scrub but I'am saying that it is the best skincare product that I have used in a while, not to mention it smells like green tea so that is definitely a bonus in my opinion!

Have a fabulous day!

Cider donut candle review

If you know me you know that I have a crazy obsession with Bath and Body works candles, especially in the fall time! Recently I was at Bath and body works and I picked up a few new candles! The one I'm obsessed with is "Cider donut" Let me just tell you this smells like everything wonderful in a candle! I'm pretty sure they sold this candle last fall, but I didn't really pay attention to it since all I cared about was the Leaves and Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin candle, But now I have truly met my candle boyfriend! This candle is so perfect for me, since I gravitate more toward sweeter candles. This candle smells AMAZING, but since I stink at describing scents I will tell you the description. "Indulge in the fragrance of a beloved baked treat with a blend of freshly picked apples, cake donut and a hint of cinnamon." So if you love sweet scented candles like me, you should definitely check this out next time you're in Bath and Body Works!

Favorite Workouts!

I'm super excited for today's post! I love working out, its a way for me to relieve stress and frustration and feel really good inside and out. I'm getting chills talking about it! I know working out can be kind of a drag sometimes but if you change up your usual workout it gets you more motivated to take a visit to the gym. So today I'm going to share with you some at home and gym workouts that I love! Btw I don't workout to lose weight, I workout to lead a healthy lifestyle and build healthy muscles.

                                     I love this workout it gets your heart rate going and it boosts your metabolism

This next workout is from Nikki Phillipi! I love this girl she has really motivated me to eat healthy and stay active! She has a bunch more videos talking about eating healthy and getting fit so check her out!

  The muscle that I like to tone the most is my core! So that's why most of these workouts will focus on getting you that flat stomach you have always dreamed of!

This workout is from tone it up which is a great site to get healthy motivation from, also there is a tone it up nutrition plan which is super great if you have an extra 150 dollars laying around.Lol! But seriously if you really are for cereal about getting healthy it really is awesome!

I love this workout, when I can't make it to the gym this is the first at home workout I do.

My last workout is from Bree Bond who is a personal trainer in California.

Bree Bond workout!

Motivational Monday #2

For today's Motivation Monday I didn't really know what I should do, so I went to the trusty Pinterest! I pinned a few of my favorite quotes and the quote that got the most repins is the one Im going to share with you guys today! "Big things often have small beginnings". This quote is very inspirational, since I recently started my blog this has helped me a lot on those days were it seems like no one is reading my posts, and the thought of just giving up crosses my mind. Well not today you won't stop blogging because big things often have small beginnings! For example one of my favorite bloggers in the entire world "Sprinkle of glitter" didn't get one comment on any of her posts for almost a year and now she has thousands of followers! So never give up!

Have a fabulous day! xoxo

Fall must haves

For today's post, I'm going to show you my fall must haves! Can I hear a whoop whoop for fall! I'm literally so excited! First off, I couldn't make a fall post without a Starbucks drink, so here  is my favorite drink for fall. The Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino! I don't know about you, but it's still pretty hot where I live, so this drink is perfect,  because it still has that fall taste, but it's a cold drink! 

  

My next must have is a plum colored lipstick.  I love this one from Tarte. It's the perfect everyday fall lip color! It's the 12hour Amazonian lipstick in the shade "Inspired." These are my favorite lipsticks.  They are super-creamy and very pigmented. Totally worth the money!

Now for fall scents, a girl's got to smell nice and yummy just like autumn! I'm in love with the Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin scent from Bath and Body Works.  I suck at describing scents, but let me just tell you it smells so darn good! For perfumes,  I love the Taylor Swift perfume in Enchanted Wonderstruck. It smells like vanilla and deliciousness!

My favorite candle for fall is in the scent "Pumpkin Cupcake" from Bath&Body Works and the candle smells just like a pumpkin cupcake! If you have ever smelled frosted cupcake from Bath&Body Works, this candle is like the fall version of that!

My last must have is big and comfy sweaters! Sweaters are definitely an essential for this season, I mean its "sweater weather" duh!

So you can probably tell I like sweaters. These are just some of my favorite sweaters for fall! I usually get my sweaters from Target or Forever 21!

I hope you liked seeing my fall must haves! Have a great fall!

Yummy and Healthy Smoothie ideas

Today’s post is going to be my fast & healthy breakfast/smoothie ideas!

First off is the banana almond smoothie, this smoothie is super delicious and easy to make! All you need is two tablespoons of almond butter, about a cup of almond milk or normal milk if you don’t have any almond milk, a banana and a few ice cubes. It’s as simple as that and its super yummy!

Next smoothie is a little twist on the other recipe I just showed you but it’s a chocolate banana smoothie! This smoothie is just as good but it’s great for that chocolate craving we all get every now and then! What you will need for this is about a cup of chocolate almond milk, about a tablespoon of oats, a cut up banana, some ice cubes and a tablespoon of almond butter, which is optional but almond butter is like my favorite thing so I had to add it in this smoothie!

yummy.....

Fall nail polish

Today's blog post will be my favorite fall nail polishes! I know its not exactly fall yet, but since fall and nail polish are two of my favorite things I couldn't wait to do this any longer! First off is "wild moss" which is an army green type color, which may sound like it would look really gross on your nails but it totally doesn't, its perfect for fall and the Revlon color stay formula is my favorite! Next is Monsieur by Revlon which is a gray with a taupe undertone, but it looks more taupe then grey in the bottle. Penny talk is a gorgeous metallic gold-ish copper which is stunning on the nails! Now for my all time favorite nail color for fall "Bahama mama" which is basically fall in a nail polish its a gorgeous red wine color which is perfect for the season! Then there is "Pilate's hottie" which is a more toned down neutral color for fall its hard to explain but its kind of like a dirty looking lilac.

Motivational Monday

So I'm starting a little series on my blog called motivation Monday! Yes, this may seem very familiar because a lot of bloggers do these sort of posts but I always feel like these posts make a huge difference in my day and really help me live life to the fullest and keep on going! So I decided to do my own! So today for my motivational Monday I decided to  share my favorite quote. “Worrying wont stop the bad stuff from happening it just stops you from enjoying the good.”I feel like this could help a lot of you since it is back to school season and with school comes stress and anxiety. I personally struggle with anxiety and panic attacks. Its different for everyone but for me I get anxious over the silliest little things, like ordering something online and worrying it wont come in the mail, to the point were my heart starts racing and I can't fall asleep! So stop worrying and embrace the good in your life!

                                       I hope this post helped you out a little bit and I hope you try to apply this to your everyday life

Thanks for reading my post!

Lush Almond&Coconut Smoothie

Today I’m going to review the Almond&Coconut Shower Smoothie from Lush! I have heard a lot of great things about this product from bloggers saying they loved it and they have repurchased it so many times, so I decided to try it out for myself. I thought it would be a GREAT product. So here is my little review of this shower smoothie: First off this shower smoothie smells like heaven in a jar, every time I open it I’m tempted to take a bite of it, but that would probably end up making me rush to the ER so I don’t recommend eating it. I LOVE the scent of this and I would probably buy it just to smell it all the time but that isn’t the purpose, and that’s why I’m not head over heels in love with this product.  This shower smoothie takes a lot to lather up nicely like a Bath&Bodyworks wash but that’s probably because the almond coconut smoothie has many more natural ingredients. Which is great, but since I spent so much money on a small jar I would like it to last me! It does make your skin smell scrumptious like the description says, but the scent doesn’t last very long on your skin and it doesn’t make your skin much noticeably softer afterwards. Overall it is a decent product but they would have to make it a bit better for me to repurchase it. Thanks so much for reading my blog post, and if you have any thing you would like me to review or any tips to make my blog better I would love it if you would tell me in the comments.  If you have tried this product please tell me what you think!

Thanks so much!

Xoxo, Sarah
