A Breather!

Yea I know...this isn't a beauty post or anything remotely related to beauty. Lol. However I just felt like taking a breather. I just needed somewhere to come relax and just sit back and write whats been going on and not have to edit and upload anything at the moment. : )

So I've been hard at work on my channel. I invite you to visit if you haven't already. I will post the link down below. I hosted a giveaway last week and worked on several video's through out the weeks. It's hard work at times but I enjoy it. I enjoy sharing my talents and tips with my viewers. It's just needed to just simply "chill" sometimes and I feel like I have a little time to just chill now. So I am savoring it.

It's been a busy time for me lately, what with my channel, work, and still getting things done in my personal life. I need to make some changes. For financial reasons. Things are just rough in that department. I feel sometimes like I expect a lot of myself. I want to be successful and it's hard when career wise I am a little behind. I must persevere for now.

There is just so much that needs to be done and so little time. It's stressful at times. But I can do it. I always do.

So lately I have been working. Which sucks. Lol. I have been trying to work hard on my channel. I have been trying to get out and have fun when I can. Sometimes all my energy is just plain gone. And I am exhausted. Whats a girl to do.

I know this entry is a bit different but I just wanted to write this. I will resume my beauty posts soon.Never fear!

Product I Love: Calgon Femme Inferno Body Spray & A Quick Update!

Boo ya!

Lol. Feeling a bit random today!

Hello to all! I wanted to make a post today because I was pretty excited to tell you all about a product I truly fell in love with. Also just wanted to do a quick update to let u all know how I have been and whats been going on as far as my channel and video's coming back.

So firstly, I was shopping for some groceries a few days back at Walmart. I know I am always in Walmart right? Lol. So I was kinda wandering after a while and I happened to land in the body spray and spa products section. I was just kinda sniffin around at some of the different products and body sprays. I happened upon this one. The Calgon Femme Inferno Body Mist.


I have used other Calgon products before and though I do like them I have always found the scents to not last long enough for me. It seemed like after a few hours the scent was gone and I was sad. :(

I sprayed a little bit of this spray on my arm and I instantly loved the smell. According to Calgon the fragrance consists of a sultry blend of pink pepper, vivid bergamot, and lily of the valley. The scent was just like something I would wear. It was a bit musky and mysterious and I went ahead and picked it up. It was about $7. So not too pricey.

So the test was how long did the smell stay for. Well I smelled my arm the next morning before work and sure enough the scent was still there. It was a bit more faint but it was still there. And it smelled a little better after it dried out as well. So I was definitely hooked on this fragrance. I recommend it you like sultry smells like this one you try it out. And at $7 it's quite a steal. Can be found in most drugstores and grocery stores. Anywhere they sell Calgon products. Or also on their website. Good job on this one Calgon.

So as for my channel. I have been trying to update on there as well. I should be getting my Macbook within a week or two and my channel will be back up. I am very close!

In the meantime I have been job hunting, and also enjoying the warm weather we have been having. My tattoo has healed up quite nicely. Also my fiance and I went shopping a few days ago and he went with me to Sephora. He's the bestest! :) He bought me the Urban Decay Naked Palette which I have been wanting for quite some time. I love it! So I am excited to do some videos on looks made with the palette! Better late then never right! So yea, about to make some lunch I will catch you guys later! Thanks for reading!

Tag: 13 Personal Questions

Hi all! I wanted to do kinda a quick entry today. There was a tag on Youtube I wanted to do, however I will have to post it on here since I don't have my computer just yet. Lol. I will probably re-do this on my channel once I do.

So lets get started with this tag. I tag everyone so feel free to do this tag!

13 Questions:
1. What do you order at Starbucks?
I like to order a caramel frappucino or a hazelnut creme when it's cold out.

2. What's one thing in your closet that you cannot live without?
I would have to say tank tops. My closet is full of tank tops. I like them in all colors and patterns. You can dress them up or dress them down. They are multifunctional.

3. What's one thing that most people probably wouldn't know about you?
I am all about routines. I try to do a schedule everyday. I like to do this at a certain time, do this at another time. I like to plan out my entire day and keep busy.

4. Name one thing that you want to do before you die?
I would like to open my own business. It's a dream of mine. I would love to own some sort of store. A fashion store or a grocery store or a cafe.

5. What's one food that you cannot live without?
Doughnuts. I am a sucker for doughnuts. I should eat them as much as I do but I can't help myself.

6. What quote/phrase do you live your life by?
“Never allow anyone to rain on your parade and thus cast a pall of gloom and defeat on the entire day. Remember that no talent, no self-denial, no brains, no character, are required to set up in the fault-finding business. Nothing external can have any power over you unless you permit it. Your time is too precious to be sacrificed in wasted days combating the menial forces of hate, jealously, and envy. Guard your fragile life carefully. Only God can shape a flower, but any foolish child can pull it to pieces.”

7. What do you like and dislike about the YT community?
I like that I can do what I love and help others. I love watching videos. I dislike the haters, and the people who put people down. And that most people don't watch people who are less well known. Most people just watch people who are famous and sponsored. It's hard to make a name for yourself.

8. What's your number one most listened to song on iTunes?
I don't use iTunes but I would say my fave song right now is Fashion of His Love by Lady Gaga.

9. What kind of style would you define yourself as having?
I guess a "bright edgy look". I love edgy styles and I love bright neon colors.

10. Favorite number
2
11. Two hobbies
Video games and blogging of course!

12. Two pet peeves
People who are very picky. Who feel like they need to pick through things before making a decision. Also probably laziness. I can't stand people who just stand around and can't work.

13. Guilty Pleasure
Speeding. Lol. I try so hard not to but I can't help it sometimes. And I enjoy it. Lol. I shouldn't I know but I like going fast.

Do It Yourself: Clarifying Green Tea Scrub & Yard Sale Update!!!

Hello to everyone! Thanks for reading!
So my last Do It Yourself post was quite a hit. I had many people comment on it here as well as on my Facebook. So I wanted to share another one of my favorite DIY tips. I am a big DIY girl if you can't already tell! Most importantly many natural foods and such are much better for using on your skin then products in the store! They have no harsh chemicals, no artificial ingredients, and you can make them in bulk and it's so much cheaper!

So as some of you may know from watching my channel I have very sensitive and acne prone skin. It's also quite dry in certain areas and also oily in others. I have to use acne cleansing products for the most part but I do have several recipes I also use for taking care of my skin. Especially when it comes to exfoliating.

So lets get started and I will show you all one of my favorite scrubs! You can use this on any skin type but it is especially helpful with sensitive or acne prone skin.

To start off you will need to get a small bowl to mix items in, as well as a small container to store any left over product for future use. You will also need a tea kettle, green tea either loose or bagged, and a small amount of honey. As well as a small amount of plain white sugar.

Start by brewing a cup of green tea. Make sure to let the tea cool down fully before using and mixing in the bowl. You can store it in the fridge for an hour or so and it should cool down nicely.


Once your tea is cool you can strain it if you had loose green tea or you can simply leave the tea bits in the scrub. It doesn't make a difference either way!

Next pour your green tea into a small mixing bowl. Take your honey and pour about a tablespoon of honey into the tea.Any kind of honey will do.


Now take your plain white sugar and pour about a cup into the green tea. Mix. The tea and sugar should thicken up. However if it is still runny pour more sugar in until the tea becomes thick, like a scrub or mask. It should not be very drippy.


After mixing I like to let the mixture sit in the fridge for about 30 mins to cool. The scrub feels great after a hot day outside when it's nice and cool from being in the fridge.

You can use this scrub once or twice a week. The green tea is full of antioxidants. It helps clarify skin and treats redness and swelling. It helps with creating a more glowy skin color as well. The honey in the scrub is excellent for acne. It not only is a natural antiseptic that kills bacteria but also rejuvenates skin and can take the redness from acne and tone it down. Lastly the sugar serves as a natural scrubbing bead to exfoliate dead skin cells and make skin soft and clean!

This is one of my all time favorite face scrubs to use. It's natural, never makes me breakout, and it's easy to store. Simply put the rest of the product in an airtight container and store in the fridge for further use. The mixture should last about 2 weeks in the fridge.

Now....as for our yard sale day today. It started out being a rough morning. As soon as I woke up it was thundering and then raining something awful. It was a pretty bad storm. However it did clear up and I ended up having my sale in the garage. Profits were small but decent. I sold many things I didn't need and I got a little extra money in my pocket. So all was well!
