Let It Snow Let It Snow Let It Snow!

Hey everyone! I'm super excited because it snowed on Friday! It hardly ever snowed where I live and it snowed quite a bit, but the only problem i that the roads didn't get plowed so it's super icy out and therefore, I can't drive. BUT, classes on Friday got cancelled and finals are having to be rescheduled so that means more study time for me! Woohoo! And I know I promised a Black Friday haul but I didn't have time to take any pictures of the things I got with all the studying, but here it goes:

Old Navy:

Green military-style jacket: $20

Navy blue puffy vest: $15

Black sweater-print tights: $5

Fred Meyer:

Tons of socks all for 1/2 off

Dark green tights: $3.50

Black tights: $3.50

Maroon tights: $3.50

And believe it or not, that's all I got! So leave comments below with what you got and with requests for future posts and I'll talk to you later! 

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.

Lions and Tigers and Mice, Oh My!

Hey everyone! I am so so so sorry it's been forever since my last post! I hope you're all enjoying your fall! As you well know, Halloween is right around the corner and I know this is a big weekend for parties among high school and college students, so I just wanted to ask what you're all dressing up as for Halloween? I decided to dress up as a mouse by wearing a pink shirt tucked into a high-waisted black lace skirt with black tights, black boots, and black mouse ears. As for my makeup, I decided to do a subtle smoky eye using silver on my lid, light pink in my crease, and black in my outer corner. 

I also drew on whiskers and a nose using liquid eyeliner, and just wore my hair down straight. But anyways, that's it for my Halloween costume so leave a comment with what you're going to be! And as a side note, please be safe! I know you've heard it before, but it's true that Halloween can be a very dangerous Holliday, so make sure you never walk home alone and if you're going to be drinking, just be safe and don't take drinks from anyone. I love you guys, missed you, and I'll talk to you later! 

It's a Lifelong Commitment

Hey everyone! Sorority recruitment started on Wednesday and continues tomorrow through Tuesday, so I'm super excited to meet new people and get to talk to complete strangers. If any of you are going through recruitment, the biggest tip I can give you is be yourself. Put all your nerves aside because everyone is nervous, it's not just you. And like I said, just be yourself because you want to choose a house that will accept you for who you really are, not who you're trying to be to impress them. I learned this about halfway through my formal recruitment last year, and after I just relaxed and didn't try to put up a front, I found an amazing group of women that I can count on for anything. I'm so incredibly happy with my choice, and if any of you go through recruitment and decide to join a house, I hope you find the sisterhood that I found and the network that I have immersed myself in. As always, if you have any questions leave a comment and I'll talk to you later!
