Beauty | Review: Cover Girl Lineexact Liquid Liner

I am the biggest fan of eyeliners, but to be honest, I only go towards black or brown ones (keeping my distance from bright colored ones) for every day use, so not much variety can be found in my makeup drawers.

Updates and more

Today I just wanted to stop by and tell you all that I have updated some of the pages in the menu and that I have re-structured all of them to be more fitting with my believes and my ethics. 

A kid at Heart

Christmas is long gone now and I am a little sad that it went by so fast. I normally enjoy it a little more, but for a couple of years now, I have had to work during the days previous to it and therefore my Christmas spirit has not been the highest.

All in all, I had a great time, and, even though I didn't do a What I got for Christmas post, I did wanted to mention one gift that was supper special for me and that meant a lot, especially because I am no child to be wanting one, but still wanted it and when I got it, I was ecstatic.

I got a furbacca as a Christmas Present.

Black Friday craze

I hope you all spent an amazing quality time with the people you love yesterday and that now you'll have (or had) an amazing shopping spree for all the good black friday sales! I am really wanting this:

Recca Minkoff Black Friday Sale (all through the weekend!!) If you get a chance, go check the site out and the closest store near you!

This tote is on my radar right now.

 

 

Weekend in review

I loved this weekend, it was really just all about chilling, relaxing and resting the stress of the week out of my mind and of my body. Yesterday all I did, literally, was stay in bed and just got up for a shower and to eat. 

In that time I spent just chilling there, I rediscovered one app in my iPhone I have been just neglecting. It was keek. Keek is that little app in which you record a short 36 second clip about anything you want. I am not a keeker, I haven't uploaded any. But, I do enjoy other people's keeks. My favorite people to follow? Any guesses here? Well if you said the Kardashians/Jenners, you guessed right. I just love me some Kardashian drama and laughs and craziness. I also follow Keegan Allen just because I love him! who doesn't? I am a huge Pretty Little Liars fan, but I love Toby the most out of all the PLL cast. 

I literally loved this weekend as I have already stated. I couldn't be happier, plus today i am putting together my timetable for this upcoming semester at Uni. Excited excited!

Surviving Finals

Yes, I survived and pretty much with awesome grades! I believe that hard work had lead to it and lead me to get an awesome internship where I am learning lots and lots of new things and being able to know more about what my major is all about.

Painting...

...my nails. I haven't done that in a week! i can't believe it from me.

I've had a hectic week. Like for real, crazy hectic week. University, work and life have been beasts on me. But I have a little time to breath and to pain my nails. Which i am so happy about! I don't like my nails to be naked. It makes me a lot more self conscious. I have the habit of not letting my nails rest, but I figured, as I have zero time to spare lately, that I prefer to have naked nails instead of chipped nails. 

But I finally painted them and I feel much better that way. It boosts my self esteem. I feel prettier, and (for a weird reason) healthier and happier. 

I hope you are having an awesome Sunday.

Bad Boys and Women

Probably one of the most straight to the point lyrics of a song goes like this: 

"I knew you where trouble when you walked in" 

Yes, Taylor Swift gets it, but also finds it. (Too many relationships probz?) 

Who of us girls hasn't found a bad boy (those tattoo wearing, rocker complex, misbehaved boys that want to break every rule they might find on their way) too attractive and just fell for him? But what about the good boys? 

This is a topic one of my guy friends and I were discussing yesterday over a very chill afternoon. He said, every girl likes to get their hearts broken, why so masochistic?! 

All I had to say was, "Actually you've got a point there" Why on earth, us girls like to be on the edge? Is it the adrenaline, the excitement and the danger that makes us go coo-coo crazy over those bad boys?

I have quite an inner debate about good boy vs. bad boy. I like to be treated right, I like those 20's gentlemen that will court you, prepare your life and make it the best they can, but then realize that I don't live in the good old 1920's and that in our society, the vast majority of boys are not the ones that take their time to court a girl for months. They want everything ASAP, and maybe us girls want that too (just not many of us will take their time to know the boy) 

My friend is one of those good boys, but with a twist, he likes girls to think that he is a total womanizer, when in reality, he is terrified to sustain a proper conversation when he likes a girl (Sorry JP! you know I love you!) 

With good boys, there is no mystery, you know what they will do, you know how they behave, you know that they might do nothing to upset you and that their feelings are true to what they preach. So why not settle with that? Why try to go find a boy that will crush your heart, your dreams and even (sometimes) your dignity? 

Oh yes, because, We are masochists, not in the bad sense of the word, but in the oh-I-want-something-exciting-to-happen-this-time-not-settle-with-routine kind of way. Even if that doesn't make much sense at the time. 

But secretly, we all want a bad boy, but one who knows when to be a bad one and when to be a good one. 

We girls like our independence, but every once in a while we like someone who can protect us from adversity and then be like our childhood teddy-bears. 

So boys, we tend to be bi polar, but you guys can be worse. But worse is fine, worse is good when you know how to distinguish the different situations. 

What kind of boy do you like girls? or are in a constant inner debate like I am? 

Comment below and let me know :)

Bookish bit.

I've been reading a lot lately, it's not just for university, but also for pleasure. I think the effect of not having one my favorite, if not all time favorite, tv show off air for so long, Gossip Girl, and the fact that this season is going to be it's last, is just making me go crazy. 

So crazy I've went, that I decided to read all bout in the series written by Cecily von Ziegesar. And so far, they are very much entertaining. Who doesn't love a good old gossip story from all the elite and their dirt? I'm 2 book in the series and read them for just 3 days. One of them was only 100 pages, or so, long. 

I will keep you updated with this new reading thing. But for this week it will have to wait, this week my midterms began and I have pretty much like hundreds and hundreds of pages to read, not in the pleasure side of course, but course wise. 

I hope you have a nice day!

Lazy Days, Crazy Days

Hey Everyone! 

It's Tuesday and I hope you all had a great start of the week and that it keeps that way till the end of it for the following weeks :) 

It's been crazy these last couple of days! I have had so much things to do and I am so grateful for that. I got my Start of the Semester Letter from University and Today I am actually able to see the classes I have to enrol at for the next 4 to 5 months. 

Time has past by so fast, that I don't think I have been able to catch up with all my sleep but I was able to catch up with some pleasure reading and with you lovely people on the other side of my computers' screen.  

There are some times where I don't feel like doing much, those days I just curl in bed, covered in my purple blanket with my laptop and start writing, reading, sleeping (a lot), eating and just chilling. Pretty nice days and ways to spend my vacations. 

During those days I wear sweat pants, a hoodie and fuzzy socks to keep me warm. I might also need something to keep my nose warm, it's the first thing that freezes, and the hardest to heat up again! 

  

Also watching movies really help. I like to watch chick flicks most of the times and my favourite one is BrideWars! It is just hilarious and I never get tired of it. I crack up laughing all the time. Other movie that never gets old for me is The Devil Wears Prada. I see a pattern here, and Anne Hathaway is one of the most versatile actress and most real in her acting (maybe a style crush on the way?). 

So these are the ways I like to spend lazy days, how do you like to spend them? 

xo,
