Make-Up & Jewelry Schizznizz

Hello fellow interweb friends!

A few days ago, I decided to be productive and clean part of my room, this part being the top of my shelf/cabinet thing where I keep all my jewelry and make-up. I had so much fun reorganizing my stuff and thought it was totally about time I do so because my momma constantly yells at me about how I don't know what I have! Anywho, I got around to organizing all my stuff, mainly just my make-up and jewelry, which is actually a lot more things that I expected myself to have. I thought I'd record a video for you guys just showing you how I organize everything and where I keep them, but it accidentally turned into pretty much a collections video...I'm so sorry! 

So here is the video, hope you guys enjoy! I know it's a bit long, but afterwards, I thought maybe it was a good idea just to share with you guys what I have now and then we can grow our collections together! If you guys have any questions/comments/suggestions/bits-and-bobs that you'd like to share, feel free to leave a comment down below or a comment on the video. I love reading comments and responding, so please, share away!

Hope you enjoyed it! If you did, please subscribe to my blog and channel for more random tidbits to come your way! And like I mentioned earlier, feel free to leave any kinds of comments you'd like. I want to talk to you guys as much as possible so that we both don't feel like we're only connected by a screen!

Until next time,

Back-to-School Look #1: Comfy Casual

Hello fellow interweb friends!

As you all may already know, I've been working on putting a look-book together for the sake of back-to-school season. I'm a lazy dresser and I dress more for comfort, so I use as little pieces and as light of pieces as possible whenever I get dress. The thing about back-to-school season in southern California is the weather is still pretty warm outside, can possibly go up to the hundreds, which means if you're not dress for comfort and the heat, you are going to be miserable for eight hours straight or however long you are in school for. Here are some of my outfit ideas for you guys, and I think my style is pretty straight forward and simple, so you can wear the similar styles whether you are in high school or college or even if you want some ideas for everyday kind of thing. 

So, for this look-book schizznizz, I thought I'd post a look a day kind of thing instead of bombarding you guys with like 47895810973492 different looks at once, not that my closet will allow me to do that many combinations! Below is look number 1, consisting of a white tank top from H&M, a light almost brownish/nudish jacket from Bar III at Macy's, a floral embroidered/textured skirt from Urban Outfitters, and some sandals with gold details from Vince Camuto. To finish off the look without making it look too much and keeping it as casual as possible, I layered it with a "Love" necklace I got at Tilly's with a rose pendant necklace that I got at Forever 21 about a year ago. 

This look is perfect for any day of the week, both spring, summer, and even a little bit of fall. It is somewhat girly, surprise surprise, I can be girly as well, but still not too girly to the point where you feel like you want to vomit pink!

Hope you guys enjoy this look! I will post up another one soon, but for now, have fun playing dress up. Just remember, be cute, be fabulous, but most importantly, be comfortable!

Until next time,

Foodie Tues-dee #5

Hello fellow interweb friends!

It is that time of week again where I share with you guys my food adventures! For this week, I want to share with you an old favorite, but definitely a good one. 

Brodard Restaurant is a little place that serves delicious Vietnamese food and it has always been one of my favorite places to eat. Their infamous pork rolls are just amazing, especially paired with the shrimp paste sauce. My friends who I've taken here and exposed them to these rolls all love them, which pretty much means that they are way too flippen amazing! Then today, I tried this noodle dish with grilled shrimp, pork, chicken with a side of "Asian greens" that consisted of pickled carrots and something else mixed in with thinly cut cucumbers, bean sprouts, and various herbally leaves. 

Because all these dishes had a lot of veggies in them, it made them super light and somewhat healthy too. The flavors are a good mix of savory, sweet, and cooling/refreshing from all the vegetables. Each dish came out with their own sauce, but the basis of the sauce is either shrimp or fish.

I cannot rave about this restaurant enough! It is super affordable, great portions, tastes amazing, and I seriously cannot find one bad thing about it! If you guys get a chance, do go check them out and order some pork rolls for me!

Until next time,

Musical Monday #2

Hello fellow interweb friends!

It is a new week, and you know what that means! It is time for a new song that can put a pep in your step, a kick to your week, all the goody-goody gumdrops that can make your day that much better!

For this week's Musical Monday, I chose "Brave" by Sara Bareilles. My friend showed me this song last week and after having one good listen to it, I became addicted and thought it is the perfect song for Musical Mondays! It is so encouraging and self-empowering, which are both very important attitudes that we should all have, especially on Mondays when we all feel like the world is against us. Here's the video and I hope you enjoy the song as much as I am!

She is already an amazing singer and I completely and utterly love her, but this song is just super duper fantabuluperly amazing! When I saw the video, I just started dancing around like a crazy lady. If you want to join my crazy dance party, please feel free to do so, after all, "I want to see you be brave!"

Until next time,

Everything You Need in a Cute Little Bag!

Hello fellow interweb friends!

A few blogs ago, I posted about quintessential school supplies, but really did not get in depth with personal necessities, so I thought I'd share with you things I keep handy in my backpack/tote-bag/any- kind-of-bag-you-use-for-school! These are like the basic, most important things that I always need right by me and I feel like these items are pretty basic enough that everyone will have some kind of variation in their bags. Enjoy the video guys!

If you guys have any essentials that you think I should add to my bags, please do share! I'm sure there are a lot more things I'm missing...but it's ok.

If you haven't gotten a chance to see the school supplies post, come check it out here!

Until next time,

Foodie Tues-dee #4

Hello fellow interweb friends!

So for this Foodie Tues-dee, I thought I'd share a newfound delicious snack that is delicious, nutritious, and all-around wonderful! 

That's right guys! As boring as it may seem, this trail mix, or as they labeled it, energy mix, is so flippen amazing! We already know how healthy and filling nuts are for us, so there's not much else I need to say there. The thing that makes this taste so good is because it is a balance between salty/savory flavors and rich, sweet, chocolatey deliciousness! Since it's covered with dark chocolate, it makes it a little bit healthier. As for the serving size, a quarter of this box is only 190 calories, I'm not a calorie counter so I don't know if it's good or bad, but in comparison to things like the hundred calorie packs, I'd rather eat this 190 calories and be more satisfied with my snack! 

So where can you get your little paws on this little box of healthy heaven?!?! Well, I got mine at Food-4-Less, but I know Ralph's also carries the same things, same packing and all, so I am going to go on a whim and say that Food-4-Less and Ralph's are of the same company. 

With me being in school and classes all day, these are perfect for me because I can munch on it throughout the day and hardly make a dent in the box. This is a perfect snack for anyone really, especially when  you're in a rush and don't have time to pack a lunch or get some breakfast. If you want, they have all different kinds of mixes. I prefer the energy one just because I need as much energy as possible to stay awake and deal with my boring professors!

That's all for now!

Until next time,
