These are a Few of My Favorite Things....

1)2)

3)4)5)

1. Chapstick is AMAZING especially during the winter season when your lips constantly get chaped.  I like to wear mine under any gloss I use for a smoother appearance.(About $2.00 at drugstores)

2. Peach Twist blush by MAC is what I use everyday.  It gives a fresh look and you can use it for both a day and night look as well. (about $12.00 at MAC counters or online)

3. Oil blotters by Mary Kay are very useful for those of us who have oily skin and get shiny during the day.  It is a quick and easy way to get rid of oil without messing up makeup. ($5.00 from your Mary Kay consultant)

 4. I use the Aveeno Clear Complexion bar twice a day.  It is very reliable to use on blemishes and dries them up very quickly. (about 3 or $4.00) at drugstores)

5. Commander and Chic by Sally Hanson has been my favorite shade for this fall and winter, and honestly I'll probably be still sporting it this spring and summer.  No lie, I have gotten so many compliments!  What I also enjoy about it is that it is part of the complete manicure collection so you don't have to put a clear coat on top and the brush is shaped just like a real paint brush so it gets every corner of the fingernail. (about $7.00 at drugstores)

                                       

When All That's Left Has Gone Away...

I am very excited right about now for two reasons: One, there is possibly going to be a snow day. Two, I have finally gotten to show off my new little black dress which I purchased from a local consignment store this week for only $17. 00.  Also as you can see, I adore my owls!  I'm sure you all know that they are totally in this season, and I find them to be very chic.  I also decided to change my look up a bit by putting a black rinse in my hair and darkening up my lips with a black cherry gloss.  Anywho, as I looked out into my backyard I knew that I had to be apart of this beautiful snowy eve.  I titled this entry after "Look What You've Done" by JET.  The lyrics "when all that's left has gone away" reminds me so much of the snow because when it first falls its flawless and beautiful but it begins to melt and before you know it it has vanished.  Just as the snow melts and fades away, so do many of our relationships and friendships with the people who God has placed in our lives for only a season.

Kyla will be 1 this month on the 15th :)

Yet Another Friday Night.....

Hello Beautiful World,

It is almost 12 AM on a Friday night ( yet another Friday night) & I am in my warm & cozy bed with my laptop open while watching reruns of Degrassi.  The things I could be doing right now: studying for 1 of the 2 tests I have next week, drinking strawberry daiquiris with 2 of my friends girls at their apartment, or being curled up in a ball sleep.  Out of all those wonderful events, the one I would enjoy doing the most is not on the list.  I would actually rather be "boo-ed" up as my friends would say (lol).  For those of you who have not heard this term before, it means to be with that special someone whom you are fond of, whom you may love, that person who makes you feel special.  Anywho, I am not "boo-ed" up tonight, and honestly I can not recall a time when I have been.  But I figure that it is a new year, and maybe this year will be the year that I can spend my nights cuddled up and watching TV with someone special, someone who will surprise me with lunch while I'm at work, someone who possibly thinks the world revolves around me; God knows I want someone whom I can show off my clothes to because I grow tiresome of starring at all of them hanging in my closet with price tags still attached.  But until then, I will continue to wait patiently as well as bettering myself and finding who I truly am; as should WE ALL.
XoXo- Faith,
                      your Warmsugavanilla ;)
