SHARK WEEK AT LUSH!!!

SHARK WEEK AT LUSH!!!

Monday, August 4, 2014

Hello everyone!
I wanted to bring up a topic i am very passionate about.
I absolutely love the ocean. One day i am going to be a marine biologist and save all of the beautiful fishies! Mean while i am stuck here in my apartment trying to volunteer all i can to help while i am in school.
(beach clean ups, sea turtle watches, etc)

I will probably keep you updated with information about different ways you can help out with other causes i am passionate about!

THIS IS ONE OF THEM!

The company Lush is having Shark Week, As well as trying to make the oceans safer for these majestic animals we are also helping with the clean up of oceans all around the world.
People don't always realize the impact we have on our beautiful oceans, or how what we do miles and miles away from the ocean can harm it. We are having BIG problems with bleaching of coral reefs, those are serious ecosystem boosters that when they die off, many species of ocean life will die off as well.

I'm very excited to share this news with you as i have been seeing more and more advocates for helping clean, save, and just help research our oceans. Since we know so little about them!

Believe it or not the ocean helps contribute to the amount of oxygen our atmosphere has. I think that's a pretty darn good reason to try to keep it as tip top shape as possible!

The company also has a ton of amazing things like bath bombs, body lotions, feet care, shower and hair products and currently they have a special line for shark week! :)

If you would like i could do a haul for you ! just comment or message me if you would like it! i will do it as soon as possible!

Thank You So Much!

Apartment/Flat Hunting

Apartment/Flat Hunting

As you may or may not know i currently am having to up and move out of my current town home. 

When we originally moved out we were supposed to have a few weeks until our roommate moved in, but he never did. We kept getting excuse after excuse... it seemed like a never ending cycle. eventually all of our savings had gone and we couldn't afford the rent. 

A right when we were giving up looking for a new roommate we found one! Everything was fine and dandy until he decided to move up north and join the military. 

So he gave us two months rent and a fair warning that he was leaving and he was just gone. So here we are, looking for a new place to stay, We went ahead about two weeks ago and put in our 30 days at our apartments to let them know we are going to be leaving. were currently moving in with my father which is all fine and dandy except the fact that granted we may all love each other.. but I'm looking to move out asap :) 

(No offence daddy!! <3 ^_^ love you!)

We have seen and toured a total of seven places with all the different prices, policies, etc.

I decided to come up with a list of things to remember when looking for a new apartment/flat.
I am in no way an expert, just a young adult learning as i go. 

                                                  

1. While looking through the endless piles of online ads, Sunday papers and Google maps
don't forget that the price they give you is ONLY the base price. They will end up adding maybe
 a sewage fee, a valet trash fee, if you have a pet there is normally a pet rent, pet deposit, or
sometimes even both!

2. Square footage!!
Think about the size of apartment you want, obviously your budget will mostly
determine the size of apartment you get but you could choose between different square footage.
Somethings to think about are how many people will you be living with, just you? a boyfriend/girlfriend? A roommate or two? That can change things a lot so make sure you plan accordingly.
Also the smaller apartment the less furniture (duh) lol, your electricity bill will be lower than if you rent a larger place, smaller may be cozy as a large place might not be as cozy, less furniture to buy in smaller places, A large place would have more space for furniture, you can have more people over and
maybe even stay the night, as well as have more storage space than in a smaller apartment.

3. ALWAYS REMEMBER: Think about the surrounding area you could be possibly living in, if its a not so nice area with the perfect apartment... It might not be worth it. Your costs of fixing slashed tires,broken windows and possibly a burglary may just push your budget over the edge.
Sometimes car insurance companies wont cover damages done by an
 individual for who-knows-what reason. :/

4. Think about how far you are away from your family, friends, and school/work.
You may save on rent but not on gas. :/
You could always take the bus :/ I've never liked the bus.

5.Your floor plan may look nice on paper, but when you start trying to put furniture in the
apartment it just might not fit. Some apartment complexes just do not have a good use of space.

these are just a few things that i think about a lot while looking at an apartment, It helps if you take a peice of paper or little composition book with you to rate these things and take notes!
You will really appreciate it in the long run ^_^

Wantable Box = MAKE UP! *Touched up and finished*

Wantable Box = MAKE UP! *Touched up and finished*

Friday, August 1, 2014

I didnt notice when i posted this before a week ago that i never finished it! I'm So sorry! 
Here is the updated posting:

Hey guys!
So this is the second month i got the wantable box. I wanted to wait to see if they kept up with the higher end products in their boxes and i have been very pleased. not disappointed at all!
I figured i would show you what i got, how i like it, and where to find each item if you would like to purchase it your self :)

                                            

This is the box that the wantable products come in:

When you open it. It looks like this :)

This is almost exactly how it was packaged. 

 1. Vincent Longo dew drop radiant blush: I really like the way this looks. It doesn't take a lot of product to add some color. It's light weight and has a small glimmer to it but not so much to add an awkward amount of sparkle to your  face. Also it's small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.

2. Bright Addiction eye shadow by Ofra (melon): I like this because you can very easily alter it based on what shade you want. You don't have to put a thousand coats on to make it a pretty bright melon color (over exaggerating but still. LOL). It has a nice feel too it and goes on smoothly. You may definitely see me with some more natural colors added with this one mixed in. 

3. Mont-Bleu, luxury glass fashion nail file with swarovski crystals: I NEVER even knew about these until they sent me one in the wantable box. :) I love doing my nails and having them done, but i can't stand nail files. The feeling of them makes me nasous. So at first when i got this i wasn't very excited... Then i tried it on my nails.. OH MY GOODNESS it is aammaazziinngg! It files your nails smoothly. I would recommend this to anyone who is similar to me and doesn't like the feeling or noise of regular nail files :) 

4. MICA Beauty Cosmetics LPL04 Mahogani Lip pencil: I do have to say this before i say any more. I don't normally wear lipstick! I will play with it sometimes and i don't really like lip liner. However every other kind of lip liner i have ever played with was harder and hurt my lips when i put it on. I had to push a little hard and it did nearly nothing. When i put this it's nice a creamy texture but it still stays, it dosent smudge once it is on with lipstick it stays pretty nicely.

5. Smooth Shadow Creamy eye pencil in the color 'raven' by Elizabeth Mott: This eye liner had me at 'Creamy eye pencil' i opened it so quickly and was most definitely not disappointed. This is the black version of their three colors.. yes i'm already picking out the other one to buy, i'm 90% sure i'll use this every day. It's nice, not too heavy on your eye lid, it has SPARKLES but they aren't big huge sparkles that get in your eyes and hurt, they are small and fine and don't pop out at you but are subtle. I fell in love with this product and will use it until i find somthing better. . . Saving The Best For Last Right??!! 

OH! Do make sure if you buy this that you have an eye liner sharpener!
It sucks to have to put the eye liner on thick when it's not sharpened.

Here is the Wantable Shipping page for anyone who was wondering! :)
