MY BIRTHDAY!

Zomg I’m another year old!

I might seriously try to make those. But seriously, if anyone wants me to be happy on this most special of days; here is my birthday wish list:

Okay just kidding. Kindof.

But I wouldn’t mind if someone just felt like giving me an unlimited credit card to spend soley on shoes. Haha.

Awww. Okay but seriously if anyone wants to make me the happiest muhfucka and you failed at getting any of the above items, I’ll always settle for all the seasons of Golden Girls on DVD. And I’m actually serious about that one hahaha. I love that shit.

Alright but in all seriousness it’s my birthday so it’s time to go out on the town! Peace and Love!

Vanity

Alright so I’m going to show you guys what I did for these crafts:

Bought this frame at Good Will for under a dollar. I originally wanted to just do the inside yellow and keep the gray border, but the spray paint kindof got everywhere and it just turned out to be a hassle.

So I had a paper towel by this to wipe the spray paint off my hands, and the wind blew it onto the frame and made these weird marks and when I tried spray painting over it, you could still tell. So I just did it all over and it ended up looking kindof cool.

I couldn’t figure out how to get the hooks into the frame to hold the necklaces so I just hooked them over the top. It looked great for recruitment, but it ended up being kindof a pain in the ass, so it’s currently being unused on the top shelf of my closet. I’m going to take it home to have my Dad help me over break. Let me know if you have any suggestions!

What Makes Celebrities Gorgeous

I’m sure most of you have wondered exactly what it is that make celebrities look so perfect all of the time. I know a lot of them are just overall good looking people, but they clearly have the money to look good 24/7. How exactly do they do this? It’s a question that magazines and TV shows attempt to answer all the time, and it’s really a lot more obvious then you might think. Eyebrows. Yep. Doing your eyebrows is the thing that will take you from looking average to looking really fuckin good. I mean I think all of you realize it’s necessary to tweeze/get waxed/get threaded, but there’s more to it than that. You need to get a brow pencil and for a lot of you, something to tame them. A lot of times people’s eyebrows are overplucked but not sculpted. I’m going to try to find or do a tutorial on this for a future post. For now, here are some pictures that help explain why this is so necessary to looking good:

Eyebrows are vital to shaping your face and giving you that stunning beauty that celebrities always seem to posess.

They actually look scary and almost unrecognizable without eyebrows. Obviously I’m aware that you’re not starting from scratch with no eyebrows, but not doing anything to your ‘brows is not much better.

(See, it’s not attractive.)

This girl has the right idea:

I love everything about her makeup. Everything is done to look completely natural. You might even guess she isn’t wearing a lot of makeup. I guarantee she is, but she just knows exactly how to do it so it looks natural.

Notice that none of these girls look like they’ve went over the top with their makeup. It looks natural so when you look at her you’re like damn she’s really pretty. I’m telling you.. it’s all about the ‘brows.

Here is the difference between a natural eyebrow and one that has been touched up with makeup.

There isn’t one shape or color that I can vouch for as the best. You really need to use your best judgement as far as what looks good in relation to your face shape and your complexion color. This isn’t saying that you can’t go wrong, because you forsure can:

Obviously this is very over-dramatic, but honestly look around and you’ll see women who don’t look to far off from this.

Although when you look through pop culture you’ll notice a lot of people rocking the darker ‘brow with light hair, there is a line you definitely shouldn’t cross. Her eyebrows are black and penciled in, and her hair is as light as it gets. This is a great example of what NOT to do.

So yeah I’ll get a tutorial up as soon as I can to give you all some more ideas on how to shape your face via your eyebrows! 🙂

Yoga Pants

So for a while last year I got really into yoga because I had a CorePower membership. It basically made my life wonderful because it’s such an amazing way to deal with stress. But the 90$ a month price tag kindof added to the stress and when I came back up to school I never started my membership again. I’ve been thinking about it all of the time lately because I’m on this intense life-improvement spree with my best friends. We have been getting our GTL on.. except we’re not gay as fuck like the Jersey Shore people. It’s been paying off.. I got a pair of Victoria’s Secret yoga pants in an extra smallllll whuduppp. It’s pretty bomb because I haven’t seen that size in a long time. I was super athletic in high school and once I got to college I definitely slowed down a lot n I was starting to just not be okay with that anymore.

With or without yoga, I’m pretty proud of myself and it’s definitely not going to stop me from wearing yoga pants. I love how versatile they are. And how good they can make an ass look.

Okay but I do have to point out how many women who definitely should not be wearing yoga pants do so anyway. There is a point where you have to look in the mirror when you’re trying them on and realize that they are noooottt flattering. Maybe for those of you out there who have been in the situation where you aren’t sure if they look good or not.. you should make it your reward for being healthy and working out and once you tone up you can buy them. Seriously. There is nothing more disgusting then seeing someone bulging out of pants that are supposed to  be form fitting and show off your womanly figure. I know they are super comfortable but forrealz. Put that shit away.

Normally I try to be positively motivational, but this shit is the reason why people look at Americans as fat dumb jokes. I love America, and I really hate that we have that rep. And I really think everyone can do their part to help turn it around. Specifically people who should not be wearing yoga pants but do so anyway.

On that note, do some yoga & have a great night! Namaste.

Pilot

I don’t know what exactly the point of this is but I saw it and thought it was hilarious seeing as I love airplanes and I’m from Wisconsin and therefore I love cheese.
 Okay so I have a bunch of appointments with advisors and other random people within the next few weeks because I absolutely have to pick a major. I just want to do everything so I can’t pick just one thing. I have all of my lib ed’s done after this semester and it’s like extremely necessary to decide on what I want to do with my life and I have no idea. It might seem out of character because I’m such a creative soul but my absolute dream job would to be a pilot but I can’t do that at my school. Ahhh.

Warm Weather? Yellow & Tan Fashion Inspo

It’s so hard to accept that it’s the end of October considering both at home and up at school it’s been so ridiculously nice out! I’m still in summer mode. I’m going to be super shocked when it actually gets cold because we’re all getting so spoiled.

What Your Favorite Color Says About You!

What do the colors you are drawn to say about you?

Via Paper Source

I’m one of those annoying people who say they don’t have a favorite color. I couldn’t even tell you which ones I was most drawn to because I’m honestly drawn to all of them. Every time I look at it my opinion changes. I’m just too indecisive for questions like that!
