My September Favorites

Even though September is now officially over and the leaves are starting to change, I thought I should write about my favorites for the month. You also may have noticed that I haven't published anything since August 28! That's more than a month ago! The reason for my absent is school. Oh, school why do you take up so much of my time. But for real, I have been so busy with school work and after school activities that I have pushed this little blog to the side. I hope to find a time to sit down and write a couple of different blog posts for you. My plan is to write a new blog post every 5 or so days so I can get back in the habit of writing these. But anywho, let's get on with my September favorites.

The first thing I am going to start off with is my (very snazzy) school pencils! I love stationary, personally because for one they have the cutest designs and it keeps me very organized in a way. I found these pencils at Target and picked them up for only a dollar. I loved them so much that I picked up a couple of other packs too. I absolutely adore them. They are super cute and have a nice theme of colors. They went perfectly with my whole theme for my school supplies. The only thing with these pencils is I don't like sharing these them with people because they have a tensing to take them and never give them back. I have already had this happen to me and I don't want my own money being wasted.

Next up is something beauty-ish related. I have been loving this Lush shower gel called Twilight. Now, to be completely honest with you, I really didn't know what a shower gel was so I had to look it up cause I didn't want to use it wrong and then have it ruin anything. But anyway, I got this in a gift set on my birthday by my good friend Lizzie. The box came with this shower gel, a bath bomb, and body creme. All of it is lavender scented and is supposed to make you feel relaxed. This shower gel is purple and had little silver shimmery sparkles at the bottom that you can shake in and it makes the body wash really sparkly and pretty. Side note, I might be doing a review on the whole package so if you are interested, make sure to tell me in the comments.

My next favorite is my school planner. I have already done a whole blog post on this so go check it out here to have a better look at it and see what I have inside.

My fourth September favorite is my pottery jar I painted with Katie. We went to a local pottery painting shop for a little get together one afternoon. I found my inspiration on Pinterest by this pin that was a plant starter jar with a really cute face on it and I knew I wanted to recreate it myself. I am very pleased with how it turned out. My favorite part is the petite looking face. I was super afraid when I was painting it because I really didn't want to mess up. I remember practicing for a long time so I could get it right. The only thing now is I don't know what to store in it. I can't put a real plant because it doesn't have the holes on the bottom so the roots and water can escape. I think my plan is to just put in a fake succulent in it. What do you think?

Next up is my Philosophy perfume! My mom found this at Marshalls for $26 and told me that it was actually a very good deal for 4 of the small bottle perfumes. The funny thing is the lady who was checking us out told us that this was a huge sellout and you're lucky to find it in the stores. The box came with 4 small perfumes in "Inner Grace", "Love Sweet Love", "Unconditional Love" and "Giving Grace". Personally, my favorite is "Love Sweet Love". I enjoy sweet smells and this one is definitely one of those. Another thing that I love about these is the little quotes on the boxes of each perfume. The quote on "Inner Grace" is Philosophy: quiet your mind and open your heart.

My next favorite is a book called "Red Queen" by Victoria Aveyard. I have been dying to read this book ever since it came out in 2015. It's been on my reading bucket list and I haven't gotten to it until now. My friend brought me a gift card to Barnes and Nobles for my birthday so I decided to use the money on this book. But sadly, now that I have this book I have not picked it up to start reading it. I feel like I haven't been in the biggest reading mood lately so when the feeling comes back this book will be my first reading choice.

My very last thing on my September favorite list is a little mason jar that my friend Katie made me for my
birthday. It's a jar that she decorated with stickers and fabric washi tape that is intended to put our little memories we shared together. Right now I have notes, polaroid pictures of us and just other fun stuff we can came and look back on. I can't wait to fill it up with more memories with her.


If you have any September favorites that you have been liking comment them down below. I would love to read them! Also, I want to start writing some Fall/Halloween blog posts so if you have any suggestions please put them in the comment and maybe I will write about your topic! ;) I am open to ALL suggestions so don't be afraid to comment.
 Love you all!

May Favorites

As May has ended, I have decided to put together my favorite products, foods, and makeup for this month. This month I wanted to include all my top items I use daily or I just really enjoyed. If you are into these types of little blog posts then don't forget to tell me in the comment section below! :)

My first item on my list is my Nth Degree Smoothing Moroccan Argan Oil & Keratin Hair Serum. I got this a couple of weeks ago and I have been LOVING it! The way I apply is by squirting some drops into my hand and than rubbing my hands together. I apply the hair oil to my ends to strengthen them and also by the part of my hair to push down all the baby hairs. My mom actually got this for me and it smells amazing too! My next is my clear nail polish. The reason I have been loving this product so much is because I am horrible when it comes to applying nail polish but with the clear nail polish you don't really see your mistakes you made while painting them. Also when it hits the lights it gives off a really shiny glow to it, which I love a lot and it makes my nails look simple but also chic, too! ;) My next items are my Lush bath bombs and bubble bombs. I went to Lush recently with my friends and picked up one bath bomb and one bubble bomb to try out. I used my bath bomb already and it was so good. The one I got was called "Pink" and it smelled very flowery. The "Pink" bomb was so cute, too. It had 3 flowers on the top and it had hearts that were in the bath bomb and when you would put it in the water it fizzed and all the tiny hearts came fizzing out turning your bath water pink! The next one I got was the bubble bomb. The one I got was "Big Bang". A way to describe it would be very relaxing and it smells like heaven in a bomb and it turns the water a nice blue color. I felt like once I was in the bath tub all my body parts felt super soft and smooth, like I had lotion on.

Another item on my May favorites list is "The Nudes" by Maybelline New York. My mom and I picked this up at Ulta and I believe it cost around ten dollars. This eye shadow palette is so beautiful and (obviously) nude colors to match about everyone's skin color. Due to the fact that I have a dark-ish skin color I can't wear bright colors on my eyes, so this set works amazing with my skin. Inside there are 12 shades, varying in the lightness and darkness of the shadow. My favorite shadows are the ones that are sparkly because I can't get enough of sparkles! Sometimes I like to wear the more subtle ones to school so isn't so detracting. On the back of the package there are different mini diagrams on the shadows that work well together and how to apply it to your eyes which is very helpful to a new learner of the art of makeup! Now on to a random item on my list, which is a card that my friend gave to me as a thank you. The reason why I love this is because one, the very sweet note she wrote inside but also I love the intricate L and the texture of the outside of the card, too. A food related product on my list are little cookies my family got at Costco. The cookie itself in general is amazing but the outside of the cookie is the selling point. It is hands down the best part of the cookie. It is crunchy but also sweet because of the sugar coating on the layer that makes it so good. (P.S. Writing about the cookies makes me want one so badly!) 

My next two products are my BareMinerals Marvelous Moxie lip gloss in the shade of "Pink Mauve"  and my Great Lash Washable Curved Brush mascara in the color of "Blackest Black" . The lip gloss I actually got from my mom as a gift and I have now just recently been using it. The way I apply it is by first putting my EOS lip balm on and then applying it on top. I find that putting the chapstick on first helps soften your lips throughout the day. The lipstick itself isn't big and bright in color but is suitable for a teen like myself to be seen in public. On to my mascara. This is surely the best mascara in the world for a teen to start off on. The reason is that it has a curved brush that fits the eye just perfectly. The thing with my eyes is that I am Asian so I have small squinty eyes that this wand can easily fit to my eye and gets all my eyelashes without it being a huge deal. Another plus is that it curls my eyelashes for me so I don't usually have to use my eyelash curler. The very last thing on my May favorites is my whale plate I made with my friend Harper! We went to our local pottery shop and painted our own things. So I made this whale plate, which I named Walter. He is  a teal blue color to match my room and he has a little heart by his tail. On the border of him I did some small gray and pink dots with white V shaded marks to give him some extra color.
