Color Trend: Neon Yellow

It seems as if every season there's a color that seems to be more popular than any other. Last season it was Cobalt. I'm predicting that Neon Yellow is going to be that color this Spring season.

Here are a few pieces under $50 that would work perfect for Spring:

Yellow Side Bag from H&M $19.95

This bag will add a pop of color to any outfit. I can picture myself wearing this with a short black dress, a jean jacket & some sandals for a day on the pier!

ROMA Sandals from Bakers $39.00

These sandals would pair well with some distressed denim and a white top. Keeping it simple and basic for those warm Spring days.

ASOS Patent Color Watch $35.81 (on sale!)

I can see this arm candy paired with anything! I'd probably layer this with a few other bracelets to add some color to any outfit.

There are all some great finds and I can see these being great accessories to dress up your outfits for Spring!

Until next time!

Current Faves

Hi ladies! I wanted to write a little blog post dedicated to some items I'm currently loving.

My favorite hairspray is bigsexyhair Spray & Play. I heard about this product a few months ago when I first started watching Youtube beauty tutorials. It's a great product because it gives you the hold and the volume you need minus the crunch. I can't stand hairsprays that leave your hair crunchy because they you NEED to wash it the next day. The only draw back to this fabulous hairspray is the price. It sells for about $17.99 at Ulta but IF you're lucky you can find it at Marshalls for half the price.

Starbucks Iced Grande Non Fat Carmel Macchiatos are my current favorite iced beverage. I can't get enough of them. Mmm. 

Bath & Body Works Candles. The Leaves scent is my absolute favorite for Fall/Winter but since I burned that one out I've been lighting the Coconut Water scent. This one smells very light and isn't as strong as the Leaves candle. Coconut Water smells a lot like coconut and a bit of pineapple. The great thing about these candles is that you don't have to burn them that long and the scent travels through your entire home. These candles can be a bit pricey at $19.50 a piece but Bath & Body Works is almost always running a sale where you can get 2 for $20.

One of my favorite accessories at the moment is the Silver Sideways Cross Necklace. I wear it like everyday and just can't get enough of it. It's very delicate and sits perfects on my neck. I purchased my necklace from Gems in Vogue on Etsy for just $26 plus shipping. I think it's a unique and adorable way to show your faith.

Well I hope you enjoyed some of my faves. Things are constantly changing. Life never stays the same. So I'll be sure to do a post like this every once in awhile so that I can share what I'm currently loving.

Thanks for reading!

March Birchbox Reveal

Hi Everyone!

This month I decided to do a quick little Birchbox reveal. For those of you that don't know what Birchbox is...it's a monthly subscription where you are mailed a box of beauty samples every month for the low cost of $10 a month! I've been subscibed since November of last year and have always been a little disappointed at the items I've received especially after reading /watching other peoples reveals. I mean granted there was at least one item in every box that I liked or used but still never felt it was worth the $10 I spent.

This month I was really satisfied with the items I received in my box. Here's a peek inside:


March Birchbox

This month in my Birchbox I received a really pretty aqua green nail polish from Color Club called Age of Aquarius. I also received a perfume sample from a brand I have never heard of called Harvey Prince Yogini. Its a nice relaxing scent with notes of sandalwood and grapefruit. Something really interesting was a Stila Smokey Eye Card. The card had a mini palet of 3 different colors so that you could attempt your own smokey eye look.

I have been trying to wash my hair only every other day to keep from damaging it so much. Lately I've been using a lot of different dry shampoos so I was happy to see a sample of Lulu Organics Lavender + Carly Sage Hair Powder. This is perfect to sprinkle on your scalp to remove the oils from your second day hair.

Included was also a sample size of Juice Beauty Blemish Clearing Cleanser. This is an eco friendly cleaner to purify your pores. The last thing included which is definitely one of my faves was the Lifestyle Extra Tea Forte. Tea Forte Teas are skin-smart and are suppose to help your skin look more radiant. I'm a huge tea drinker so I am definitely excited to try this.



A quick peek of the items inside my Birchbox this month.

The great thing about Birchbox is if you like something you received in your box you can order the full size on their webiste!

Thank you so much for reading! Untill next time!

Hello Everyone!

1. I hope this weeks been treating you all good! Just 2 more days left of actual work for me. Then its here I come weekend.

2. It's suppose to rain this weekend. It's been raining all week so I've been cuddled up inside working on some DIY projects.

3. If you're interested in stackable bracelets which is going to be in trend this Spring/Summer you should check out annorshine's Youtube tutorial for chain friendship wrap bracelets. I've made two already. One for my Bestie and one for my Mom.

4. The only problem is my local arts & crafts stores don't carry a huge variety of suede cord so I may have to order some online.

5. I've been addicted to Starbucks Carmel Macchiato's. Hot or Cold. Doesn't make a difference.

6. I have NEW Spring clothes hanging in my closet that are dying to be worn.

7. I can't wait to feel the warmth of the sun. Especially after this wet week.

8. Another nail polish "thing?" Meh why not?

Butter London - Trout Pout

9. I don't have this color yet. But I want it. It's a perfect peachy-pinky-orangey color. It look beautiful swatched. But $14! Ughhh.

10. Alrightyyy talk to you readers soon! :)

Current Craving: Nude Wedges

You know that a nude shoe is a wardrobe essential because they go with pretty much EVERYTHING. But I don't have a pair. A pair of black shoes? Oh yeah I have about 20 of those but not one single pair of nude shoes. What the heck is wrong with me!? So I've been on a hunt. A hunt for a pair of nude shoes that will be versatile. And I think I've found them. I'm just not sure I'm willing to pay the price.

Thursday Things

Hi ya'all!

1. Well this past week sure has been busy for me. As I mentioned in my last post my sister came to town for a visit. Lots of girl time with my sisters and mom.

2. Went on a shopping/dinner date with my BFFL last thursday. Bath & Body Works were having their 2 for $20 Candle sale which is an amazing deal if you didn't know. Candles go for $19.50 each I believe so you're pretty much getting 2 for the price of 1!

3. I'm excited to say I will be going to the Miranda Lambert concert next month! Got my tickets and a new pair of cowboy boots! ;D

4. I'm currently obsessed with Girl Scout thin mint cookies! I've bought 4 boxes already this year and can't get enough. I'm thinking of doing a How To dessert post in the next week or so. While my sister was down she showed me how to make this Oreo Truffle dessert. Mouths watering just thinking about them.

5. Have you been keeping up with American Idol? I think there is so much great & different talent this year. Not one contestant is the same and I'm loving it. My faves are Skylar and Philip Phillips. Haha I love his name.

6. If you haven't figured it out from #3 or #5...I'm a country music fan. In fact I'm listening to the Miranda Lamber channel on Pandora as I type this post.

7. Along with 2 for $20 candles I finally found a jean jacket! Its cropped but versatile. I think it's gonna look best with dresses and skirts. I'll post a pic soon!

8. I noticed that in the past 2 Thursday Things posts I've included a nail polish fave so here it is for this week:


essie - Cute as a Button

Definitely think this is going to be a great color for Spring!

9. I'm exhausted. And it's only Thursday. Two more days of work for me till I get to enjoy my weekend.

10. I'm ending the post here today guys! Thanks for reading! :))
