Walmart Beauty Box Fall 2016

Let me be completely honest with you and let you know that I was not too excited to unbox the fall Walmart Beauty Box. After the disappointing summer box and the disappearance of the spring box, there really wasn't much to be excited for. And I know the box is $5 but it takes time to record and edit even a simple unboxing video and that's time that I felt like I wasted when I opened the summer box. This time around everything went smoothly though, I got my email notifications and my box was shipped quite quickly. It seems like Walmart Beauty is getting their shit together and putting a bit more effort into their subscription service.

What's In My Bag? | Everlane The Twill Zip Tote

Today I decided to film one of the YouTube beauty guru classics, a simple "What's In My Bag?" video. It's been over a year and a half since the last time I filmed one, so it was time for me to show you what I'm now carrying inside my bag. I also have a new everyday bag which is practical, simple, and very minimal. I personally don't like carrying something that has the brand's name or emblem splattered throughout the whole bag, it's just not my cup of tea. My new everyday bag is the Everlane The Twill Zip Tote, which is roomy enough for all my belongings and built very well. This is by far the most comfortable handbag/tote bag that I own, and I love knowing that it was made ethically.

November 2015 Favorites

This month's favorites is a bit different to my others because I feel like it has the most variety. There's  everything from makeup products to documentaries that I enjoyed watching. Yes, this is certainly not your standard favorites video. After last month's skincare and hair testing disasters I found some amazing gems that managed to save both my skin and hair. If you have frizzy curly/wavy hair, then you will really want to pay attention. Also, a thing that I completely forgot to mention in the video is that in the month of December I plan to record 3-4 videos per week! Consider it my version of Vlogmas.

August 2015 Favorites

So I'm like 90% done with my room which means I can now go back to blogging and making videos! There was no way that I was going to miss out on posting my monthly favorites, despite the fact that there wasn't a lot of beauty or skincare products to talk about. That didn't stop me from blabbing in this video though! As per usual, this favorites video is around 15+ minutes because I felt like we needed to take some time to catch up.

The first day of class is just around the corner and you know what that means, right? Long lectures, essays upon essays, and you can't forget about the classic all-nighters. I still remember pulling numerous all-nighters back when I was in college and on occasion I would forget to remove my makeup. The present me is cringing at the thought of sleeping with makeup on, but it did happen a few times during college. Today I'm going to show you a really quick routine that will keep you shine-free and your acne at bay while you're in college. Taking care of your skin doesn't need to cost a lot of money or take too much time from your studies thanks to these Clean & Clear products which were repurchased a few too many times throughout my college years. The best thing is that you can easily find everything I'll be sharing with you at everyone's favorite store (or maybe I'm just speaking for myself), Target!
