This week, Sephora is having a little give-a-way with any purchase over $25, and I just couldn't help myself. There are 4 options to choose from and you get a travel bag with 10 trial items. It's kind of like a little kick-off for Christmas thing, and I just had to give in. To get to $25 though, I had to buy something and seeing that I needed some new eye shadow I picked up a new palette. I also recently got two new Essie nail polishes and those are down below. I haven't tried any of these items but I will do a follow-up post on my reviews of the items and/or if I decide to purchase the real thing. Hope you enjoy! :)

Hello, Lovelies! Back in July, I did a post on my favorite Summer songs and I thought it would be a good idea to do a Fall one. My music taste does change with the seasons, and I hope to do a Winter/Christmas one in December so keep an eye out for that one! So, here are a few of my favorite songs that just get me in the cooler month's mood. :) Enjoy!
Hello Lovelies! I went through a stage a few years ago along with Hailey and Kayla where we literally fell in love with the iconic band, The Beatles. To us The Beatles were everything. Their amazing music was the only thing we listened to, we bought both of their movies, bought all of their albums (starting with Please, Please Me and ending with Past Masters), hung posters, played The Beatles Trivial Pursuit, played The Beatles Rock Band, and spent countless hours fantasizing over what it would have been like to live through Beatle Mania. Needless to say, we were OBSESSED! This phase lasted for well over a year, and ended when we discovered that there were actually some decent current-day music and other boys to fan girl over that were still alive, or under 60 years old. Soon we discovered Coldplay and The Killers and The Beatles had lost our attention...briefly. Now I am happy to say that The Fab Four have made a comeback in my life. I would like to share some of my favorites that have made a reappearance on my Top Played list on iTunes with you. Enjoy!
Hello, Lovelies! It's been a while since we've last spoken and I apologize! As you all know, Autumn is prime time for college applications and as a senior, I've been quite busy. However, I am happy to say that I am done! (YAY!) In celebration, I thought I'd do a post on some of the things I want to kick off the winter months...a.k.a my favorite months! So, here we go!
Hello Lovelies!
Since October is over (where did it go?!?), and November is here, I decided now would be a good time to post about my favorite things I discovered last month.
1. Oxblood Nail Polish
(My preference: Revlon's "Vixen", number 570)
2. DailyGrace
(She could easily be the funniest girl on the internet. I highly recommend you check out her channel on YouTube. She always manages to brighten my day. *ding*)
3. Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
(He is my favorite comedian, and once I discovered Esquire plays re-runs at 7:00pm, I got so happy. I have been watching him every night now.)
4. Thrift Shop Sweaters
(My preference: These! I got them at my local thrift store for $4.00 a piece. And these ones are Eddie Bauer and Tommy Hilfiger.)
5. Zara Leather Loafers
(I posted about these a couple months ago on my haul post. These have been by far the best pair of shoes I have ever bought. They are SO comfortable and cute. Outstanding job, Zara!)
6. French Music
(It's foreign. Which automatically makes it cool. My preference: La Noyee by Serge Gainsbourg)
7. John Lennon
(I have always loved John Lennon. But I recently purchased Imagine, and fell in love all over again.)
8. Nike Frees
(I've been wearing them frequently lately. They are the best tennis shoe ever because they are supportive like a chunky running shoe, but cute!)
9. New Girl
(By far one of the funniest shows I've seen in a long time. The characters are relatable and all add something different to the show as a whole. If you're looking for a laugh I recommend watching.)
Hello Lovelies! This weekend Morgan and I did absolutely nothing. We literally sat on the couch, ate food, and slept for about 24 hours. Though that may sound extremely lazy and lethargic, it was actually very enjoyable. I can't tell you the last time I just did nothing. It was satisfying. The two of us didn't just sit on the couch whilst eating Oreo pie and a bag of Doritos. We decided to watch a movie. But not just a movie. A scary movie. The two of us decided to put Netflix to use, and after scrolling through about two dozen mediocre, two star rated horror flicks we found one. And it was so good, that after it was over we decided to watch another. And another. And another. And another. Yes, we ended up watching five horror movies in one day. Now I am not at all a horror movie connoisseur, but I thought I would share my thoughts on the five movies I watched in the last 24 hours.
1. The Awakening
This was by far one of the best horror films I have seen. Not only did it make Morgan and me practically sit on top of each other out of fear, but it had a great story. The historic setting, old and gloomy England, made it even better. It was more than a gory massacre movie. It was a creepy yet enticing mystery with an extremely unexpected twist.
5 STARS
2. A Haunting at Silver Falls
This film was definitely the most scary visually. The protagonist is being followed by the spirits of murdered twins. Even though they are spirits there are clearly seen as if actual characters. And I have to say, their visual presence was frightening.
Though this movie was scary to watch, the plot wasn't as sophisticated as I would have hoped.
3 STARS
3. Silent House
This movie was driven by suspense. The whole movie was filmed as if in one take which made the suspense without pause and never ending, and the acting was amazing. Elizabeth Olson was perfect in her role. What I didn't like, however, was the plot. The only thing that made this scary was the suspense. I would definitely call this movie a suspense film...I was stressed out the whole time I was watching it.
3 STARS
4. Medium Raw
This movie wasn't the scariest that I saw, but it had a good story. The thought of the plot becoming reality is a scary one; being locked in an asylum with its patients on the loose. This movie was scary, but the added humor would sometimes detract from the horror. But the acting, plot, and humor combined made a pretty good movie. Plus the main characters name is Johnny. And I like that.
4 STARS
5. Friday the 13th (Original 1980)
I love '80s movies. So when Morgan and I realized we hadn't seen the original Friday the 13th, we figured we should probably watch it.
The idea of a mass murderer is scary enough. Next, you add a children's camp. Then you add a group of unsuspecting teenagers. That's just not a good combination. But it makes for an interesting movie. Other than people just randomly getting speared with arrows, stabbed through the back, or axed in the face the only interesting part was the last chase scene. And even then I was yelling at the last girl on the screen to stop making stupid decisions. Even though it wasn't the best movie, I still liked it. Mainly because it was made in the '80s. And it taught me to never go to camp.
3 STARS
So the next time you happen to have a Saturday with nothing to do, turn on your TV, grab some snacks, and watch some horror movies. It proved to be a great pastime. :) Comment below with some of your favorite scary movies. I would love some recommendations!
