Light Bulb Off. Clap On

Today in class I gave my How to Make Cake Pops demonstration speech and wow, did I forget a lot. Felt like crap up there (my nerves got the best of me), but on the bright side I guess it's good that people don't see or feel exactly how you do up there. I somehow managed (by believing in myself) to still get an A. I took pictures and I really wanted to do an entry on how I made the cake pops, but when I go to look at my camera none of the *good* pictures (only the blurry ones) I took were on there...and boy did I take plenty of good ones. I wonder why they didn't save?! "Shoulder Shrug" Better luck next time I guess. We had a thunderstorm today and although it was raining the temperature was still in the 100's. Crazy. It was stunning out thank god for the beautiful weather. Which brings me to why I wrote this: to update all of you on my day as well as to remind myself and you to breathe for things aren't always as bad as they seem. Life has so much to offer: always stay positive. Above all be confident in yourself <3. X...

Mini Haul, Chit-Chatting, & Inside...

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.

BlogLovin is it?

Let me start by saying how confusing this whole blogger XML, Design, Blog etc is. I give myself a week to learn a couple new tricks and update this Blog! Hopefully, I get the hang of it. In the meantime I just made a Bloglovin' account Yay..."after many unsuccessful attempts hehe"...{hmm.. that deserves a second "YAY"} Here's the link: Follow my blog with bloglovin. I'm getting more committed to this whole blog...it's just such a nice creative outlet <3!

When all is going wrong...Dance!

Hey Ya'll :D (I'm just a chatting away today) {I sound so country hehe :)}

You know what's annoying? When your life get's completely pulled out from under you and you feel the only option you have to cherry-pick from is that which you don't want to make! We've all been there!  I don't feel it is fair that sometimes we have no choice in where life takes us... Therefore, for all those that are in a bad "kick something kind of mood":..

Like I am at the moment.
{"The camera don't lie. You're coming back down and you really don't mind, you had a bad day"
-Daniel Powter}

... try to make the best of the day! Don't cry: "Life is a dance floor. You get what you're given...it's all how you use it"-PINK. Focus on making the best of what you have and chase after your dreams...there's only one life to live don't waste it wishing on the stars rather I hope you choose to dance {read below for explanation}! I know sometimes we don't think we have any opportunities, but if you look closely you'll notice a lot of doors are open. We are just too "busy" to notice them. I want to leave you off with these beautiful words that I hope you take to heart <3

"I Hope You Dance"

"I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat

But always keep that hunger

May you never take one single breath for granted

God forbid love ever leave you empty handed

I hope you still feel small

When you stand by the ocean

Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens

Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance

I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance

Never settle for the path of least resistance

Living might mean taking chances

But they're worth taking

Lovin' might be a mistake

But it's worth making

Don't let some hell bent heart

Leave you bitter

When you come close to selling out

Reconsider

Give the heavens above

More than just a passing glance!"

Get Up & Carpe Diem My Lovelies!
