New Year. New Semester.

Hey guys! I know that many people have already started back to school, especially K-12 schools. Tomorrow is my last first day of school, for a while hopefully, and I am super excited! I don't know about you all, but I am officially on countdown for graduation. I have about four months until I am out of school for good.

It is a new year and a new semester, so it is time for many new adventures as well. It is time to start new classes and find a new routine. That's one of my favorite things to do at the start of the semester. Getting organized and finding my new routine with classes, work, studying, etc. I love the beginning of the year and setting new goals. I do not make resolutions anymore because I want to set goals for a general future not for this specific year. Call me crazy, but I just don't like making resolutions for the year.

Some of my goals are to experiment with new recipes and broaden my cooking horizon, take better care of my skin and hair, find a big girl job, and don't be as lazy (I like binge watching Netflix as much as the next person. What are Saturdays for anyway)? No matter what you call your goals it is still good to have goals as something to work towards so you can feel accomplished.

I am excited to write new content this year as well. I am going to be writing new content, and possibly expanding beyond the beauty sphere to include easy/cheap recipes, lifestyle posts, and who knows what else I might come up with?! I am excited to expand my creativity by extending my blogging horizon and talking about different things.

Thanks for reading! I will post as often as I can during my last semester, but I am not making a set schedule. Let me know in the comments what your goals are. If they are for the year, life, this week, whatever the time frame leave it in the comments! My links are in the sidebar to the right. Like and share this post with your friends. See you guys next week. Kisses<3

The Importance of Removing ALL of Your Makeup

Hey guys! I know that you have probably heard from lots of people that removing your makeup at night is very important, but most people don't tell you why. I didn't understand why until I had been using makeup for several years. Not only am I going to share why it is important to take all of your makeup off, but I am also going to share a product that is very helpful at taking off stubborn eye makeup (this post is not sponsored by Neutrogena).

Leaving on makeup after a long day does a lot of harm to your face. It can clog your pores and make you break out. Even just using a makeup wipe is better than nothing, but using a cleanser in addition to a makeup wipe is best. I find using a makeup wipe to be the easiest way to take my makeup off because it is fast.

Taking your eye makeup off is also really important. Have you ever had an eyelash that hurt? That's because you didn't take your eye makeup off completely. There could be other reasons for the pain, but most likely it will be because you slept in your makeup. I use a makeup wipe to remove the majority of my makeup, but sometimes it doesn't get all of my eye makeup off. In addition to a makeup wipe I use Neutrogena's eye makeup remover lotion.

Like the famous oil-free eye makeup remover by Neutrogena this product does a great job at removing my eye makeup. However, I like the lotion better because it doesn't make my eyes feel oily! I used to use the oil to remove my eye makeup, and my eyes always felt oily and gross afterwards. The lotion works very well at removing my makeup and doesn't make my eyes feel oily! I highly recommend it!

Thanks for reading! I hope this has helped you if you are new at putting on makeup, or if you have been using makeup for awhile and didn't know why you should remove your makeup. Leave a comment below telling me about awesome products you use to remove your makeup at the end of the day. All my links are to the right! Like, share, etc. See you guys next week! Kisses<3

Review: Oil Sheets

Hey guys! Happy New Year! Welcome to 2017! I hope that everyone had an amazing holiday season and start to the new year. This week I am going to talk about a product I have used for several years, and I wanted to share it with you guys! If you have oily skin or combination skin you will love this product!

The Clean and Clear oil absorbing sheets are absolutely amazing! They can fit in a clutch, purse, or even wallet very easily! These little sheets are handy for a night out with friends, date night, or just for every day use! Just wipe one sheet over your oily areas on your face and the sheets soak it all up! These are perfect for days when your matte powder is not doing the trick. I love using them in the summer.


The packaging makes them easy to carry around, and they wipe up all your oil! Like I said, I have used this product for about 3 or 4 years and they are a lifesaver sometimes!

Thank you guys for reading! I hope this product becomes a staple for you like it has for me (I am not sponsored by Clean and Clear). Did you make a New Year Resolution? Let me know in the comments! All my links are in the side bar to the right as always! I will see you next week! Kisses<3
