I Tried To Be A Picture Perfect Girl

Hey everyone! So I am super excited because a couple of days ago I went to Sephora with the intent of buying my favorite St. Tropez self tanner because mine is almost gone, but I ended up looking around a little bit more before deciding and I changed my mind and went a little outside my comfort zone. I ended up purchasing the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette! I have wanted the original naked palette for sooooo long, but I already have the BH Cosmetics 88 Neutrals palette and many other small neutral palettes and singles, so I decided to go a little crazy and get the more pink toned neutrals! (I know it's so crazy) <- sarcasm. But I absolutely love this palette. When it first came out I thought it was gorgeous but didn't really think I would ever use it, but now I've been using it everyday and I'm just overall very happy with my purchase. If you guys would like a tutorial on a look using this palette just let me know. Now I know that this is a little off topic, but I just thought I should mention that next time I get out to the mall, I am definitely going to buy MAC's lipstick in Rebel. It's such a gorgeous color but, once again, is a bit out of my comfort zone, but I want to make it work! So, that being said, if you have any requests for upcoming posts just let me know. I' thinking of starting to make videos soon, but I've tried out a few different cameras and just wasn't very happy with the quality of the video as well as my unbelievable awkwardness. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed and I'll talk to you later!

Imperfection Is Beauty

Hey everyone! Happy Superbowl Sunday! (Go Seahawks!) I hope you're all doing well! I don't know about you, but I have midterms this week so that's stressful, but at least I have you guys to keep me calm :) Anyway.. I wanted to talk to you guys about eating habits. Now I for one love food. Especially food that's not so good for you like pizza and french fries. However, for about three years now I have suffered from migraines. At first I thought they were due to stress, but considering the fact that I haven't been very stressed lately yet I'm still getting them, kind of rules that one out. I've tried doing relaxation techniques but they don't really work for me, so that left me with two more options. I could go on medication (which I didn't want to do), or I could try the anti-inflammatory diet. So, I'm now on a very strict diet that, even though the foods are limited, has left me feeling really good. It's a gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, caffeine-free, sugar substitute-free, low sodium diet. So basically I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, almond butter, sugar-free granola, almond milk, and things like that. That being said, I am not on this diet to loose weight, although it's a bonus, and I want you all to know that you don't have to be slim to be beautiful. Everyone is built differently and that's what makes us unique, so embrace it and, from the wise words of Oscar Wilde, "Be yourself; everyone else is already taken."
