Right now, I really feel like Blogging. Although, it seems that the only consistent thing I do lately is reflect upon who I really am...
Things I'm doing as I'm writing this: straightening my hair, texting a friend I haven't talked to in a while (due to my fear of getting too close to anyone anymore). Thinking about my job interview (how nervous I am and how I really need this job). Any job tips? What to do for my demonstration speech for class (outside the box and interesting O_o?). Yeah, always racing with a thousand things and what's in the parenthesis is really what's going on inside my mind. Guess what? I just finished my hair. Yayy! :) This week has been a really good week super thankful to God for that. I went and had a mini shopping haul.
I can't find everything I bought (or recall for that matter), but here's what I could find :D
ST. Ives Oatmeal & Shea Body Scrub (Dollar Tree: $1.00)
I love ST. Ives products and this smells really sweet.
The Scrub as it says on the back label is "formulated without parabens & phtalates, hypo-allergenic, and not tested on animals"
I also went and got a super cute orange thong (PINK: $9.50), and I got it for free. They had a special where if you get bra-fitted you get a free pair of panties of your choosing. If you went to the semi-annual sale, what did you ended up buying?
Also, I bought a pair of short floral navy wedges (I don't own any so I didn't really care for heel height, I just thought they were cute) size 6 (Thrift Store: $5.00).
The blush is NYC cheek glow in 654 "Outside Café" (Dollar Tree: $1.00).
I haven't used it enough to do a review on how the product worked for me, but once I
do I'll happily share :).
The last item I found that I had purchased is this board which includes a wire to hang it with. (Thrift Store: $1.99).
I don't know what compelled me to buy it, but I did. I like the board for the fact that I know I'm imperfect and I'm content with that. It helps me realize that imperfections are everywhere and that perfection is always trying to be reached, but why change yourself when you're you. As I grow everyday I find peace in who I am. Lately, I found that the first step in loving others is loving yourself; however, to love yourself you need to forgive and grow from the mistakes you make by acknowledging what went wrong and learning how not to let it happen again. They say feelings follow actions I agree: I've tried this method this week where when I'm mad I put a smile on my face and you know what it turns out I'm not so mad anymore. God, I love quotes I want to put quotes all over my room. Problem is knowing me that's probably not the best idea (my room will be filled to the point where I probably won't even be able to read the quote haha)
Oh, goodness this is long. Hopefully, I didn't bore you too much. That's about all I could find from what I bought this week. Pretty good mini haul; got some good things. Tell me how your week has been? I'd love to here about it! Any suggestions on things you'd want me to incorporate?
Stay updated by following me on Instagram for pictures, Twitter for my thoughts as well as hopes of befriending someone famous (I know, I know: Can't a girl wish), and this blog for a more in-depth on my week, makeup, outfits, shopping, and more: all under the same username. Also, make sure to like my Facebook page :). Hope you all have a super lovely week. Remember you're never fully dressed without a smile (-Annie)! Ciao, OXOX.
