2014 Non-Beauty Favorites

  Hello, friends! Welcome to 2015! It's the new year, which means a fresh start! I have a ton of new posts for you guys to start off this year, but we are going to start with a yearly favorites for 2014. As you guys know, I always do my favorites posts by starting with non-beauty favorites and then move to beauty favorites. Alas! Here are my non-beauty favorites (lifestyle) for 2014. 

Music

• Phantom of the Opera: I discovered Phantom at the beginning of 2014 and I fell in love. The music is so good and I love the operatic quality. You guys know how much I love the music from this show!
• Love Never Dies: Along with Phantom, the sequel Love Never Dies was a year long favorite for me. I love LND's music and have sang along to it all year round. 
• Banana Pancakes by Jack Johnson: I discovered Jack Johnson early this year from my best friend, Savannah, and this song is simply my anthem. It's got a really chill vibe and always puts me in a good mood when I listen to it. 
• Best Day Of My Life by American Authors: I just love this song! It's great to listen to in the morning to get the blood flowing and to energize. It's really upbeat and I have listened to it all year round!

TV

• New Girl: How can I do a favorites post without mentioning New Girl? This show is absolutely hilarious and never fails to make me LOL. The characters in the show are so funny and I love how lighthearted it is. 
• Carrie Diaries: This show is a spinoff of "Sex In The City", featuring Carrie Bradshaw as a teenager in the 80s. This show is really fun to watch! It's funny and witty, yet it has a lot of heart. The "Carrie Diaries" is definitely a 2014 favorite.
• Orange Is The New Black: This show is so amazing! It's about a woman who goes to prison for something she did ten years ago and the show follows her life in a women's prison. I love learning about the stories of all the different characters in the show, as well as following the drama that goes down. I definitely recommend watching OITNB. 

Movies

• Cry Baby: I discovered this movie early this year and fell in love. It's a spoof of Grease, starring Johnny Depp (my favorite). The movie is so funny and has a lot of great music in it! I love it!
• Phantom Of The Opera: Duh! This is the movie of the year for me. For those of you who don't know what it's about, this movie/show takes place in 18th? century France in an opera house. It's about a young opera singer who is the object of desire from the opera's "phantom". The show is absolutely amazing and I definitely recommend seeing it! Look up the version on Netflix!

Books

• Divergent by Veronica Roth: I read this book this year and I really loved it! It's about a utopian society in which the society is divided into factions based on personality traits. If you haven't read this book yet, where have you been? Read it!
• Looking For Alaska by John Green : I read this book over the summer and I really enjoyed it! It's a nice, light read but it's written by the genius of John Green, so you can expect depth. It's about this guy who goes to a summer camp/ boarding school and meets very interesting friends along the way. Love this book!

YouTube Channels

• Ingrid Nilsen/Missglamorazzi: Ingrid is my favorite YouTuber of all time! She's so sweet and fun to watch! She has really grown this year, in her style and life. I really look up to her and think she's amazing. 
• Here's the link to her channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/missglamorazzi 
• Blogilates: Blogilates is a YouTube Channel created by Cassey Ho, who is a pilates fitness instructor. I do her videos to keep in shape, and she definitely kicks your butt! However, I really enjoy doing her workout videos because she makes them really fun and entertaining! Definitely check her out!
• Here's the link to her channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIJwWYOfsCfz6PjxbONYXSg
• Sacconejolys: I love the Sacconejolys! They're a family who live in England who do blogs every single day. The family is comprised of Anna and Jonathan (the parents) and their two kids, Emilia and Eduardo. Their videos never fail to make me smile and I love watching their daily adventures!
• Here's the link to their channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/LeFloofTV

Food

• Pho: I discovered Pho this year, and I absolutely love it. Pho (fuh) is a Vietnamese dish that is basically a soup. It has noodles, vegetables, and meat all in this delicious broth! Let me tell you, I am addicted! Try it!

  Alright, guys! I hope you enjoyed this blog post! 2014 was a really great year, and I can't believe how quickly it flew by! I hope you had a great year and that 2015 will be even better! Love you!

December Beauty Favorites

  Hello, friends! How are you doing today? Did you have a great holiday season? Let me know in the comments below! It is now time to tell you guys what my beauty favorites for the month of December are! 

Revlon Colorstay Foundation: I just bought this this month to try it out. I've heard a ton of great reviews for this product from my friends, and it seems perfect for oily skinned me! This is some heavy duty stuff! This foundation lasts all day and gives really full coverage. Believe me, getting foundation to stay on my skin is no easy task! However, this definitely gets the job done. I don't wear this daily, as it is pretty heavy, but it's great when I know that I'll need full coverage for long periods of time. 

Tip: Apply this with a damp beauty sponge. It can get cakey, otherwise! Also, blend quickly! It dries fast.

Revlon BB Cream: This is another Revlon product that I've been loving this month! It gives light-medium coverage and lasts a decent amount of time. I also really like how light feeling it feels on my skin, while giving sun protection with it's SPF of 30. 

Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stain in New York Scene: This product is awesome! It's really moisturizing and gives great color pay off. I love the color, as well. It's a gorgeous raspberry color that is perfect for this season.

Benefit Coralista: I cannot say enough great things about this product! It's a beautiful shimmery coral color that highlights the face and gives a glowing appearance. Unfortunately, the product shattered in the pan. I still use it, though!

Vanilla Bean Noel: I actually got this product from my sister for Christmas, but I have used it many times before. It smells like a sugar cookie and has this amazing warmth to it! I just love this product, and I've been wearing it pretty much everyday this month.

Avenue Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer: This has been my day and night moisturizing this entire month. It leaves the skin feeling soft and hydrated, which is great for the dry winter air! I also love that it gives sun protection.

Garnier Fructis Marvelous Oil: I recently purchased this product, and I really love it. It gives extra hydration to my hair and leaves it silky and shiny. It's great to apply in just washed hair. In the past I used the Organix Coconut Oil, which is really hydrating, but it left my hair feeling greasy. However, this product doesn't leave that heavy greasy feeling at all! I just love it!

CVS Brand Eye Cream: I believe this is the knockoff product for the Loreal eye cream, but it works just as well! My under eye area is really dry, while the rest of my face is oily, which is very strange. Though, this product is very moisturizing and I've noticed a great change in my skin.

Alright guys! This is my last favorites post of the year! 2015 is going to be here in a couple days, which means a fresh new start for all of us! Thank you for being part of this blog and supporting Love Ling! I love you guys! See you next year!

(P.S. Here's a sneak peak into future blog posts in 2015! The next post is going to be a big one, so get excited! )

November Beauty Favorites

Hey, friends! These were the beauty products that I loved during the month of November.

Real Techniques Beauty Blender: This sponge is absolutely amazing! It's super plushy and blends my foundation like a dream. I also love that it has a special edge for larger parts of the face and a pointed side for smaller areas. This is extremely comparable to the Beauty Blender that costs $20. This is only $6!

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner: In the winter, my hair gets really dry, and this conditioner has been great in helping my hair stay moisturized. I leave this in  for a couple minutes in the shower and rinse to reveal really soft hair. I love this product!

Calvin Klein One Mascara: I got this mascara at the beginning of the month from Ulta for free! It was the birthday gift at the time, and I'm so happy that it was. The cap twists so that the shape of the wand changes, which is super awesome. It's also long wearing and makes my lashes really thick and full.

Freeman's Cucumber Peel-Off Mask: I use this mask a couple times a week to revitalize my skin. It has a really nice, gently formula and leaves my skin feeling refreshed. The best part is that after applying it and letting it dry, you can peel it off! 

Eco Tools Konjac Sponge: This is a new discovery for me, and it's starting to get a lot of hype in the beauty community. I got this sponge from Target, and it's made out of the Konjac Root. I use it with my cleanser to exfoliate my face in the morning and at night. It's really helped my complexion by making it really smooth and clearing up my breakouts. I highly recommend it! 

Make Up Forever Lipstick in "Rouge Artist Natural": This is my every day lipstick. It's a gorgeous rosy shade that matches my skin tone perfectly. I think it would match anyone's skin tone, quite honestly. It's super moisturizing and adds a beautiful sheen.

I hope you enjoyed my November favorites! I made a lot of new beauty discoveries this month, and I hope this post gave you some inspiration on products to try! I'll see you in my next post! Have a great day!

November Non-Beauty Favorites

  Hello, friends! How are you guys today! I feel like it's been forever since I've blogged, but it's actually been like 4 days. I hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving. I definitely did. It was so great to be able to see my family and hang out with them. Today I have my November Non-Beauty Favorites to share with you! Expect my November Beauty Favorites in the next couple of days. 
  I would also like to let you guys know that I am going to blogging a whole lot more this month as my gift to you! I won't be blogging every single day, but expect to see a lot more blog posts. Be sure to subscribe to this blog so you can be notified whenever I post a new blog! Enjoy!

Music

• Shakey Graves: I have been obsessed with the artist, Shakey Graves. I discovered him in October, but I've been listening to his album, "And The War Came" a lot lately. The music is a nice blend of blues, rock, indie, and folk. I absolutely love it, and his voice and acoustics are amazing. I love the songs "Dearly Departed", "Hard Wired", "Pansy Waltz", and "The Perfect Parts".
• Taylor Swfit 1989: I have been listening to this album constantly this month! I have been a fan of Taylor's for a long time, and I totally support her in her transition from country to pop. I love every single song on the album. She really hit the nail on the head with these new songs. I love "I Know Places", "Welcome To New York", and "Blank Space". You have to check out the album!
• Hairspray: I've also been listening to a lot of the Broadway Hairspray album with Matthew Morrison (Mr. Schue from Glee!) this month. The vocals are so much better than in the movie version, and I love how upbeat the songs are!

TV

• New Girl: Of course I've been watching New Girl! This show is my absolute favorite and makes me laugh so hard.

Movies

• Gone Girl: I saw this movie earlier this month, and I loved it. It's definitely racy and inappropriate at times, but the plot is so suspenseful. The movie makes you want to keep on watching and watching.
• Jersey Boys: I finally got Jersey Boys on DVD, and I'm so excited! This is one of my favorite movies, and I love the music in it. I definitely recommend you watching this movie. Even if you don't like musicals, you will like this. 

Food

• Tea: I've really been into tea lately! I used to hate it, but I really like it now. It soothes my throat and makes me feel all warm and cozy. I've especially been loving "Throat Coat", which tastes like licorice and helps my voice heal after I sing for hours. I also love Chai Tea, which adds the perfect amount of spice for the cold weather.

Inspo

• I start my morning off with a bible verse from this daily verse app on my phone. It's really helped in getting me through each day and has given me something to think about everyday. I really enjoy using this app, and I highly recommend it!
  

These are my November Non-Beauty Favorites! I hope you enjoyed it! I shall talk to you guys later!

October Beauty Favorites

Hello, friends! I am coming to you today with my October beauty favorites! I hope you had a great October and are having an even better November!

• St. Ives Green Tea Scrub: I have been using this product for a very long time now, and I have to say that it's one of my favorites. I use it a couple times a week to exfoliate my skin, and the product leaves my face feeling clean and purified.
• Smashbox Photo Finish Primer: I have been using this primer pretty much every day this month. I hated it when I first got it, but it grew on me. It helps my foundation stay on much longer and provides a smooth base for the products on top of it. My foundation looks flawless when I apply this primer. I love it!
• Loreal Gel Eyeliner in "Mocha": I may have talked about this product last month...I don't know quite honestly. I do know that this product is amazing and works so well. I love the brush that it comes with, and I'm able to get a really nice, smooth line.
• Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Leave In Conditioner: I heat styled my hair a little bit this month, and this really helps in moisturizing and replenishing my hair. I leave it in for about a minute in the shower and rinse it out to reveal the softest of hair.

These were my October Beauty Favorites! I'm sorry I didn't add pictures, but I hope you enjoyed!

October Non-Beauty Favorites!

Hello, friends! I hope you had a great month! This month was nice, because it was a total fall month, but there were definitely some bumps down the road. Anyways! I have a ton of non-beauty favorites for you guys!

Music

• Dearly Departed by Shakey Graves: This is my all time favorite song of the moment! I absolutely love it! It always puts me in a good mood, and it's so nice to listen to.  I randomly stumbled upon this artist, and I absolutely love him. Shakey Graves has a really nice, raspy voice. I looove it.
• Cry For Me by Jersey Boys: I still love this song! The whole Jersey Boys album has been my power music for the entire month. Yes, this music is old, but the music is so good. This song is especially one of my favorites!

TV

• New Girl: Of course! I love New Girl so much! It's my favorite pick-me-up show, and it always makes me laugh.
• Carrie Diaries: Carrie Diaries, season 2 is finally on Netflix! I'm obsessed with it. The plot is so amazing, and has a lot of twists and turns. However, my favorite part is seeing all the 80's fashion.
• Gilmore Girls: This show is so good! I also watch this on Netflix, and it makes me so happy. It's not that funny, but it's cute and makes me really happy that it's fall time.

Movies

• Gone Girl: I just saw this movie, and it was so good! I cannot recommend it enough. It's about this woman who goes missing, and people are pointing fingers at her husband. The movie is so suspenseful and takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride. However, it is definitely rated R, so go with caution.

Apps

• Instapray: I recently discovered this app, and I really enjoy it. It's a community where people post prayers that they have, and you can see the prayers and pray for them. You can also post your own prayers and have people pray for you. It's really nice and gives you a world view perspective.

Activity

• I have been obsessed with jogging this month! It's a great way to get active, without having to use any special equipment. I really look forward to my evening run every day.

Alright guys! I hope you enjoyed my October favorites. I'm really looking forward to November, as it is one of my favorite months. Let me know in the comments what you're going to be for Halloween, which is tomorrow!

September Beauty Favorites

Hello, friends! I'm totally late on my September Favorites! I'm so sorry! This month has been absolute craziness, and I definitely got off track on my blogging schedule! Here's my September beauty favorites.

• Essie Boy Blazer: This color was on my nails almost the whole month! I'm totally obsessed with it. I love wearing darker colors in the fall, and this is a refreshing shade against all of the dark reds and wines, that you typically see on people's nails. I think it's the most beautiful navy color, even if it does show up black on my nails! It also wears a long time, which is amazing.
• Baby Skin Primer: I loved this primer! It does a great job of preparing and refining my skin before foundation. It has a very light, silicone finish. However, it can be a bit on the greasy side.
• Pupmkin Spice Latte Hand Cream: This hand cream smells so good! It smells very spicy, yet has that nice bakery aroma to it, as well. Whenever I'm out and about, people smell it and are always like "Do I smell pumpkin?", and I'm like, "Yep! That's me!". It's so great for when my hands dry out on these cold fall days.
• Clinique Blush in Sunset Glow: This is my favorite fall blush. It's a beautiful plum-y color, with a teeny bit of a golden shimmer. It looks amazing on the cheeks and blends really nicely. Despite what the blush looks like in the picture, the blush is actually no more. It shattered somehow, and I had to throw it away. Sad face.
• Up&Up Oil Absorbing Sheets: I love these! My skin is so oily, and I can use these throughout the day to blot the excess oil off of my face. I've noticed that my breakouts don't occur as often, as I'm controlling the amount of oil build up.
• Real Techniques Buffing Brush: This brush is so amazing for applying foundation. It allows the makeup to just melt into your skin and gives a beautiful finish.
• Loreal Butterfy Mascara: I'm pretty sure I used this mascara everyday for the month of September. It works so well! It lengthens my lashes, adds volume, and flares out the ends of the lashes. My lashes have never looked the way they do when I use this product. It's incredible.
• Clean and Clear Morning Burst Facial Wash: The final product on my "Love List" is this face wash, which is amazing for the morning. It has a citrus scent that really wakes me up, and it cleanses my face very well. The scent isn't too harsh and the product is very gentle on my face, leaving it radiant and clear.

I hope you guys enjoyed my September beauty favorites! Again, I'm so sorry that I posted this so late. You will definitely be seeing new posts soon!

September Non-Beauty Favorites

Hello, friends! September literally flew by! So much happened, and I was so busy throughout the entire month. I found it difficult to remember what I loved, but I'm going to do my best!

Music

• Shake It Off by Taylor Swift: I've been obsessed with the song. It's so fun, and always puts me in a good mood! I'll be a Swifty forever!
• Somewhere Only We Know by Keane: This is such an amazing song. It's perfect for fall time, and I never get tired of it.
• Cry For Me from the Jersey Boys  Soundtrack: I love Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. They're so amazing, even if they were a 60s band! I saw Jersey Boys (the movie and show inspired by the group), and I became obsessed with this song. I don't know why, but it makes me so happy.
• You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban: Who doesn't love this song? It gets me pumped for the day and really lifts my spirit. Josh Groban is amazing.
• Do You Love Me by The Contours: This is a typical 60s song, but it's so fun to dance to! Do you remember in Dirty Dancing when they were having that grinding party? They were dancing to this song.

TV/Movies

• New Girl: The New Girl obsession has yet to cease. No show has made me laugh as hard as I have in this show. It's about a really quirky girl who shares a loft with three other guys and they basically become besties. I love how quirky and funny this show is, and also a lot of it is improvised! Hilarious!
• The Hundred Foot Journey: I saw this movie this month and I loved it. It's centered around this Indian family who start a restaurant in France. They have really amazing food, but are challenged by the gourmet restaurant across the street. This show is heartwarming and funny, as well as hunger-inducing. I love it.

September was a crazy month full of ups and downs. It wasn't great, but I did discover a lot of cool music. I hope you have an amazing month and expect a new blog post to head your way soon!

August Non-Beauty Favorites

Hello, friends! A lot of really awesome things happened in the month of August, and I am here to share my favorite things with you today!

Music

• Girls Chase Boys by Ingrid Michaelson: This song always puts me in a great mood and makes me really happy. I always listen to it in the car!
• Right Where You Want Me by Jesse McCartney: Do you remember when he came out with this song? It was years ago! Throwback! I love this song and it makes me really nostalgic for my Disney Channel days.
• Shake it Off by Taylor Swift: This song is crazy catchy and I really love it! I've been a big fan of Taylor Swift's for a long time, and I really like this song. It's so fun!

TV Shows

• New Girl: This show makes me so happy. Not only is it HILARIOUS, but I really love all the characters and the show always puts me in a good mood. 

Food

• Frozen Mango Chunks: I am absolutely obsessed with this food. I buy them at the grocery store and eat them as snacks or for breakfast. They're basically just chunks of mangos that you keep in the freezer. Sooo delicious.

Alright guys! I hope you enjoyed this post! If you are wondering what my August beauty favorites were, I will leave the link here for you to go check out!

August Beauty Favorites

Hello, friends! I hope this week has been treating you well. I am personally enjoying my three day weekend and getting to hang out with my friends and family. I have yet another beauty post for you today, but don't worry, it's a good one. This is my August favorites, where I will tell all of you guys what I've been loving for the month of August. 

Covergirl 3 in 1 Foundation: I have gone back to loving this foundation. I've been wearing it pretty much every morning, and for good reason, too! This has great coverage, a beautiful finish, and lasts me a good portion throughout the day. 

Maybelline Baby Skin Pore Eraser Primer: I have been using this pretty much every single day this month. It primes my skin, allowing for a smoother application for foundation and helps it last so much longer. Not only that, but it smooths out my pores and decreases the appearance of them. It's a clear, silicone formula and feels very light on the skin. I highly recommend it. 

Loreal TruMatch Powder: After several months, I've gone back to this powder and I love it so much. It mattifies my skin, adds a bit more coverage, and makes my skin look flawless without caking up. I think it's one of the best powders in the drugstore. 

Revlon Coralberry: I think that this is the most gorgeous coral lipstick. Now that I have a bit more of a tan, it looks great with my skin and adds a nice pop of color. As you guys know, I'm not really into bright lipsticks,  but this color allows me to experiment with bright colors and still look natural.

Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation: This is a new foundation for me, and I really like it. The color doesn't quite match me perfectly, but it'll work. Anyways! It gives a beautiful porcelain finish and keeps me mate for a long time, like a long time. 

Loreal Butterfly Mascara: I have been using this mascara basically this entire month. It gives great volume and length, and holds a curl all day long. I love that it flares out the ends of the lashes and gives a nice, really dramatic look. 

NYX Stick Blush: This has been perfect for everyday, because it's so easy to use and gives a really natural finish. I also really like the color. It gives the facer an overall fresher appearance.

I hope you guys enjoyed this post! Expect my August Non Beauty Favorites later.

July Non-Beauty Favorites

 Hello, friends! Here are my non-beauty favorites for the month of July!

• Tank Tops: Tank tops have basically been all that I've been wearing this month. They're perfect for traveling, because they're easy and keep you cool. I've been loving the tanks.
• Journal: This entire month, I've been obsessed with my journal. I've been writing in it everyday about my travels and what I've been up to. I've also been using it for drawing, and I really like having something that I can keep all my thoughts and ideas in.
• Camera: I have been loving my camera. You've gotta have a camera when you're traveling! I've been taking so many pictures of my travels, and this little Nikon Coolpix has been a trooper.
• "Shrek the Musical": I saw this show on Netflix back in June, but I've been obsessing over the music all this month. The songs are so catchy and fun! I've been loving "Freak Flag", "I Know It's Today", and "Morning Person". I definitely recommend listening to it!
• "Problem" by Ariana Grande: This song has been my jam all month long. It's really fun and pumps me up for the day.
• "Love Never Dies": You guys know how much I love this song. I saw the movie ("Love Never Dies") when I was in Latvia, and I became obsessed. This song is so beautiful and fun  to sing. 
• Fruit Ninja: I've become so addicted to this game. It's perfect to play on long train rides. Just buy it and you'll see why. 

Alright guys, August is approaching! I hope you enjoyed this post and that you have an awesome rest of the month!

-Love Ling

July Beauty Favorites

Hello, friends! I know it's been forever since I've uploaded a beauty post. I've been so busy traveling that I really haven't had a chance to review products or things of that nature. However, I do have a July favorites post for you today. I hope you enjoy it. 

• Simple Foaming Face Wash: While I've been traveling, I've been sweating a lot of have had a lot of exposure to dirt and gross stuff of that nature. Italy is a dusty place. Throughout all of this breakout inducing mess, this cleanser has been amazing at cleaning my face and preventing acne. It's so gentle and feels so good on the skin. It's great for sensitive skin and cleans without over drying. Obsessed!

• Venus Little Razor (That's not the name): This product is relatively new in stores, and has been a God send. It's perfect when I'm traveling, because it's so small and compact. It doesn't take up much space in my travel bag and is surprisingly easy to use. It's actually easier than a full size razor.

• Rose Bud Salve: This product has been great to just throw in my bag. It serves many purposes, but it's been great for keeping my lips moisterized. Not only that, but it smells like roses!

• Benefit "They're Real": I haven't been wearing much makeup this month, because I'm traveling and don't have time for that. I think I've worn foundation like once the entire month? For days that I do want to wear makeup, this product has been great. It volumizes wonderfully and makes my lashes look amazing. I loooove it. 

I hope you enjoyed this post! I feel like y'all needed a break from all the travel stuff! August is fast approaching! Ah!

June Non-Beauty Favorites

  Hello, friends! It's that time again! As we are approaching the end of June, it is now time to discuss my non-beauty favorites with you. Let's do this thing!

SacconeJolys: I have fallen in love with this family. The SacconeJolys are a family from Ireland living in England who do daily vlogs including the husband, Jonathan; the wife, Anna; and their two children Emilia and Eduardo. They are the cutest little family and their kids are adorable! I love watching their videos, because they always put me in a good mood and they are so fun to watch! I highly recommend subscribing to them on YouTube!

"Banana Pancakes" by Jack Johnson: I have been obsessed with this song this month. It's a very soothing and chill song, perfect for summer. Jack Johnson has an amazing voice and write great songs, so you definitely need to check this song and him out!

"Rude" by Magic!: This song has been on the radio a lot recently, but I never get tired of it. I like that it has a reggae/pop sound and a really cool vibe. I also appreciate that for a top hit, it's wholesome. It isn't about twerking or shaking that money maker or whatever. It's about a guy wanting to marry this girl and her father saying no. Rarely do you find popular music being about something so...clean.

Orange is the New Black: Maybe I'm late on the bandwagon, but I'm hopping on anyways! This show is an exclusive show for Netflix, so typically one can find it exclusively on Netflix. It's about this upper class woman who goes to prison for something she did 10 years ago and about her life in prison with the inmates and their stories. The acting is absolutely amazing and the storyline is incredible. While there is some nudity and inappropriate content, I've been loving this show.

Tank Tops: My favorite fashion item this month has been basic tank tops that I can just wear with sports bras underneath. I've been sporting this look pretty much everyday this month, and I think it's going to continue into my trip. It's so easy and comfy!

Alright, guys! This has been my June Non-Beauty Favorites! I hope you enjoyed it and I will see you later! Bye!

June Beauty Favorites

Hello, friends! Today's post is going to be my June beauty favorites! These are all the products I have been loving for this month! 


Boots Botanics Cleansing Toner: I have been loving this toner as a cleanser in the morning and at night. It's great for just refreshing my face and getting all of the gunk and nastiness out of my pores.

Dove Sensitive Skin Body Wash: My skin has been  really sensitive lately and has been prone to redness when I use scented body wash. This one has been great, because it's formulated for sensitive skin and doesn't have a scent! It just leaves me feeling clean, fresh, and no skin irritation.

NYX Butter Lip Balm in Pannacotta: This product has been great this month. It's lightly pigmented, super moisturizing, and just easy. I love the fresh look that it gives to my lips.

Sally Hansen Wax Strip Kit: This product is absolutely amazing. I don't have to pay $10 to get my eyebrows waxed, anymore! It's so easy to use and the results are great. 

Benefit Coralista Blush: You guys know how much I love my Benefit Coralista. It adds a freshness to my face and is great for everyday use. What can I say? I love it!

Alright, guys! This has been my June favorites! Leave your favorites in the comments below! I would love to see them!

May Beauty Favorites

Hello, friends! You guys, May just flew by! So crazy! I hope you had an amazing May and will have an even better June. Today, I'm going to share with you my favorites for the month of May.


Covergirl 3 in 1 Foundation: I have gone back to my love. This foundation leaves my skin looking baby-butt smooth and silky. It lasts for a long time and really helps with oil control. This product is absolutely amazing for that airbrushed, full coverage look.

Herbal Essences Naked Volume Shampoo and Conditioner: My shorter hair has been loving this shampoo and conditioner set by Herbal Essences. These products are apart of the new "Naked" line that is free of parabens and other heavy ingredients. They leave my hair smelling great, feeling fresh and clean, not to mention volumized.

Organix Argan Oil: This product has been my holy grail product for my hair. I love that it comes in a spray bottle, so it's so much easier to apply. I apply it right after I get out of the shower for added moisture and shine. It smells amazing and makes my hair silky smooth.

Acanya: This product was given to me by my dermatologist to use for any blemishes that might pop up. I have to say, it works miracles. I don't have severe acne, or anything, but I definitely have (I hate this word) pimples that show up every now and then. I apply Acanya every night on areas where I'm breaking out, and within a couple days, the imperfections are gone. Plus, I don't get scars.


Maybelline Fit Me Concealer: On days when I don't feel like applying foundation, this concealer is great. It's definitely not a heavy duty concealer. It gives light coverage, but on simple days, that's all I need. I can apply it quickly, with no hassle and nothing to worry about.

Real Techniques Brushes: I have been loving these brushes this month. They're super soft and the buffing brush and contour brush have been perfect for my foundation needs. I posted a review to these brushes, so if you would like to see that, you can view it here.

Pink Sugar Perfume: This perfume smells amazing. Whenever I wear it, I get compliments on it, because it smells simple like sugar and cotton candy. It's the perfect girly scent and is perfect for any occasion.

My Shortish Hair!: At the beginning of the month, I chopped off quite a lot of my hair. Alas, it is shoulder length now, and I've been loving it. I feel like it suits me so much better, it's so easy to take care of, and I just love it. I love. We love.
