That Time I Wanted To Do A Beauty Post, & BANGS?!

Hey everybodyyy! So as the long, obnoxious title of this post suggests, I wanted to do a beauty post today. Seriously. SO. bad. I wanted to tell you all about my favorite lipstick at the moment! However, my camera doesn't care what I want to do! It's a nice camera, it takes pretty good photos, but when it comes to the colors of things-PSH. Pretty inaccurate, no matter what I try. Which bums me out, considering that is one of the things I want to post about most. So for that, I am sorry! I really want to post beauty related things, but I need a better camera so that my posts are actually worth reading : (   On another note, I need your help! This girl needs a change in her hair. I don't want to cut the length of though, and I just colored my hair recently. What's a girl to do?! Get bangs! But, I can't decide if I look better with out them. I mean I have a love hate relationship with them. Get 'em, hate 'em, wait for them to grow out...but I feel like maybe I should give them another shot. What do you all think?

Currently: 

When I have had bangs in the past:

(You may notice a little something different about me here...an overflow of sorts. This was before my breast reduction-eek! More on that later, if that is of any interest!)

For the most part, my bangs have always been side swept, longer ones. Probably what I would go for if I got them cut! I know it's not that big of a deal, but hey, I still would like some input! Be honest guys : )

My Birthday Outfit!

It's not late or anything... okay, maybe ten days late. Better late than never, right?! I loved this outfit. I have actually never wore the dress before, and I have had it for over a year! This is what I wore out to dinner on my birthday : )

 Dress: Charlotte Russe

Belt: Old, no idea!

Tights: Rosa's

Boots: Macy's

Bracelet: Forever 21

 

Awkward stance.. haha

Awkward once again! Complimentary birthday sundae at Outback Steakhouse : )

My birthday went pretty well, even though I was sick. My food was delicious and I left feeling like I might die because I was so full! All in all, it was a good day!

"The Perfect Night In"

Hey there everyone :) Today I have a very special guest post, from Catherine! She is going to give us some tips on how we can have the perfect night in! Here is her advice:

As the weather gets colder it’s time to think about getting cozy. An evening spent at home on the

sofa with the curtains drawn becomes much more appealing than going out, walking between bars

and getting wetter and colder as the night goes on.

Here are just a few essential items that will make every night in a perfect one:

Take some time out

The first thing to do to make the evening a relaxing one is to get rid of anything that might make

you stressed. Turn off your phone, log out of your email accounts and Facebook to make sure no

one can contact you and you do not have to worry about work. Put your laptop away somewhere

so you’re not tempted to start doing those little things that need to be done – they can all wait

until tomorrow.

Get comfy

A warm pair of slippers to keep your toes cozy are a must. Get out of your work clothes and into

something comfy. Even though no one can see you it’s still nice to wear something pretty, we

don't dress nicely solely for the pleasure of others after all!

Though a baggy pair of tracksuit bottoms are sometimes appealing, womens pajamas are much

more luxurious. Soft and warm, they will put you in the mood for the quiet, relaxing evening you

are treating yourself to instead of leaving you feeling like you’re just lounging about the house.

Something to nibble

Think ahead and on your way home stop at the supermarket to pick up a few of your favourite

snacks; something you wouldn't usually have. Depending on your mood, maybe have a glass of

wine or two with your meal or treat yourself to a big mug of warming tea if you fancy something

non-alcoholic.

What to do

This is an evening not to waste watching bad TV. It’s the perfect time to pick up that novel or

watch that film you have been wanting to see for ages. Curled up on the sofa under a blanket with

nothing to distract or disturb you, it’s nice to have some proper time to yourself every now and

again.

Pamper yourself, maybe soak you feet and then paint your toenails. These small things make you

feel comfortable and relaxed but there is rarely time to do them on an everyday basis – making it

highly important that you take the time to treat yourself during a night in once in a while.

I hope everyone enjoyed this post, courtesy of Catherine. 

Do you take the time out to do these things for yourself?
