College is RUINING MY SKIN

Stress, papers due, and two years later my usually clear skin suddenly looked like the skin of an awkward me back in middle school. What was going on? Sometimes, as a girl who loves her skin, you do crazy things. This week it was trying different homemade scrubs, the result? Not bad! My favourite one was a random combination of stuff that sounded good for my skin. I was honestly impressed at how well this worked. haha! Who knew?
College is RUINING MY SKIN
Maybe not drinking water is the culprit to my bad skin days? Or maybe it's a huge load of history reading charts!
What was in this scrub that I favored?
1. Freeman's fruit face (peel) mask.
2. 2 tsp. organic honey.
3. 1 tsp. organic olive oil.
4. Loose green tea leaves (I just ripped open a few packets of green tea and added them to the mix of ingredients.) 
5. A seriously relaxing Sex in the City marathon. 

What about you? Do you have bad skin days too? What helped? I hope everyone is having an okay Monday, Monday's are tough, just remember to breathe and have some water!

Real Purse

Okay, I realize that handbags are expensive, but I must insist to all women of the world to stop toting fake designer bags. Why? Because, most of the time it's obvious that the bag is fake, and it makes you look bad. If you are absolutely in love with your fakie then take it where ever you would like, just don't take it to work! You may not be able to tell the difference, but maybe your employer will. Fake bags that are obvious say, "I think I'm getting a deal and nobody can tell I got this in China Town". Sorry honey, we can all tell. Go out and buy a real purse, wait for one to go on sale (sometimes it happens), or buy a purse that is more likely to fit your budget. May I suggest Michael Kors, the have bags starting at $100 and they are very cute, very stylish, but best of all... real. You're real, don't you deserve a real bag?

Tights, Color, Action!

Summer is here! You know what that means...sunglasses, skirts, platforms and...tights?

Many women don't realize that just a few simple items can transform their day outfit perfect for the night! One of my personal favorite things to keep on hand is patterned tights. Why? Because, patterned tights can go from day to night, super easily. I chose a deep purple pair that I bought from Target! For $8! To dress them down I wore a basic v-neck tee I bought from Forever 21 and a pair of Coach sneakers. Not only did the colors match perfectly, but it was a super cute, easy, out the door outfit.

To dress up the tights for a night of dinner and dancing, I paired the purple with a pair of  platform heels, a deep purple v-neck Express shirt, black skirt I kept from earlier that day and a belt. Scarves optional. This was a super easy day to night outfit that every girl can wear. I definitely suggest running out to buy your favorite color patterned tights, because you never know where you'll be at 9pm on Saturday!
You can never go wrong with black patterned tights, but don't be afraid of some color, summer is the perfect time to break out all those colored clothes you haven't worn yet! Colored tights are a great way to spruce up an old outfit and make it feel new again. Plus, you'll feel a little glamorous!

Most Wanted

How cute is this peplum dress? On trend, yet still very wearable, I think a peplum dress is a great addition to your closet. The shoes? It really couldn't hurt to have just one more pair...
What are you thinking about buying this season? I'm definitely going to invest in this dress! Perfect for a date, work, even dinner with family, it's versatile enough to be in your closet all year long. Both available on Nasty Gal.

Buy a Good BRA

One thing I can't stress enough, is buying a good bra. It may not be cheap, but it will help give you shape, and hold everything together. Buying a bra should be an investment, not a cheap fix. A good bra will cost you about $50, and trust me it'll be worth it once summer hits and you want to wear all those low cut dresses. Without a good bra, you'll look unshapely and make even the best clothing look unfitted. I recommend Dream Angels Push Up by Victoria's Secret. Although they have many beautiful colors, it's best to buy a nude one because you can wear it with absolutely anything and it won't show through. This is a bra every single woman can (and should) wear.
