I Thank God I Have You

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! This year I'm thankful for so many things including my family, friends, Chi Omega sisters, and all of the opportunities that life presents to me, but I'm also extremely thankful for all of you and that I have a place where I can write my feelings and opinions for you all to enjoy :). As most of you know, Black Friday shopping starts tonight! Where I live, most of the stores are opening at 8 which is too early for me, I mean it's still Thanksgiving! So instead I've been doing most of my shopping online and in the morning I'll be going to a few more stores, so you better believe I'll be doing a haul! Anyways, I hope you're all having a wonderful Thanksgiving and I'll talk to you later!

You Are The Wind Beneath My Wings

Hey everyone! I have some really exciting news! I recently hit 1016 page views which is absolutely amazing! I can't thank you guys enough because when I first started this blog, I honestly didn't think that people would look at it (other than my parents), and now I've reached over 1000 page views which is just incredible, so thank you so much! On another note, I'm sorry I didn't post very many Halloween looks, and even though it's past the days of dressing like someone you're not, I wanted to show you guys my vampire makeup that I did on Halloween. It was pretty creepy looking and I wasn't sure how I felt about the overall idea, but it was a nice change from all of the girls who just dress as a cat. So for the makeup, I started by adding a little bit of white face paint to my normal foundation to make me look more pale, then I moved onto eyes and started by blending out some black gel eyeliner on my lid. Then I used a black eyeshadow on top of that to set it. Next I took a red (I know, who owns red eyeshadow?) and blended that into my crease and took it pretty far below my eyes to create really big, dark under-eye circles. After that I took a blue eyeshadow and put that right where you would normally get bags under your eyes to make the illusion that my eyes were sunken in. I finished the eye look off with  liquid eyeliner on my top lid, black gel eyeliner on my lower lash-line/waterline, and used a really bold mascara. As for lips, I obviously had to go bold, so I used a dark red lipstick and added black eyeshadow to just the outer corners of my lips to give it kind of an ombre look. Then to tie the whole makeup look together, I took fake blood and let it drip down from the corner of my mouth. For my hair, I just teased it a lot to make it really messy and clipped the tom half up with a black bow. I decided to keep my outfit really simple and just wore a black dress with black converse.
