Fridays are for Foodventures.

Foodventures are officially the Friday norm. (I can dig it.) This past Friday, a couple of friends and I decided to try a local Turkish restaurant called Bosphorous, and ended up staying to get dessert at Kilwins and shop around for a bit. And it was finally cold, for about twenty-four hours…

Hi beauties! I hope you’ve been having a lovely week 🙂 You don’t have to have been a follower of mine since the start of my blog to notice that my best friend, Peter, and I love to play with makeup. We’ve been doing beauty looks since we first met – it’s basically what we bonded over. He has finally launched his gorgeous website; www.PeterPratts.info! This week, we worked on two new looks.

When The Weather Decides What You’re Wearing

DSC_0112

This is what I wore on Valentine’s Day. Was it what I had planned for the night’s festivities? Not at all. I had been envisioning a floral playsuit (that had shorts instead of actual pants) with lace-up heeled sandals and the peachy nude lips I debuted last week on here. I tried so hard to make it work with tights, but it the playsuit demands to be worn on its own with a pair of smokin’ hot heels. Although it was nice and warm during the day, once the sun went down, it was in the 40’s, which is pretty unusual (unless there’s a cold front). I had to choose between getting sick and making my outfit planning dreams come true, so you can guess which one I chose.  Continue reading

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Hi everyone! Happy Valentine’s Day…or in my case, Galentine’s Day! I’ll just be spending my evening with my closest friends, doing what we do best – eating, drinking, and being merry (in the form of karaoke and going to the movies). It’s great to be able to be spoiled by a loved one on Valentine’s Day, but I think it’s better to spoil yourself. I may be biased, but nothing compares to the love you have for yourself.

Soft Glam for Valentine’s Day (Make-up Look)

Photo Feb 10, 2 09 17 PM

Hey everyone! Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and my best friend did a look on me the other day that is perfect for a night-time occasion this weekend. I love the pop of color right underneath the waterline, it’s such a great take on the classic brown smokey eye. This mini photoshoot was inspired by Kim Kardashian’s T-Mobile commercial, so pay no mind to all of my silly selfie faces.

Make-up details are below!

Post Exam Adventures

DSC_1461

Greetings, lovelies! I hope your week is off to a great start. Last Friday was my Genetics exam (I don’t think it was a disaster, but you can never be too sure until you see your grade), and Maria and I decided to go on an adventure afterwards to celebrate. We wanted to get the chocolate we had at the wine, cheese, and chocolate tasting we went to the previous Friday, as well as try lunches at the cheese shop at East End Market.

February Mall Haul

Hi everyone! Happy February! I’ve been meaning to do a post all week, but due to my first round of exams, I’ve been studying almost non-stop. I did, however, go to the mall on the first of February, and wanted to share my mall haul with you all 🙂 I got some beauty items off of my wishlist as well as some great sale deals.

Wait, What Season Is It?

Happy Monday everyone! I hope your week has gotten off to a great start! Florida has been getting a mix of spring/autumn weather lately, and although I really wish I could bust out my over the knee boots, that probably won’t be happening until maybe later in the week. I just wanted to share two of my favorite outfits with you all, featuring some of the pieces I bought during the holiday sales.

Review: Real Techniques Bold Metals Collection

If you’re big on following beauty bloggers on Instagram, or frequent ULTA, then you know all about the new Real Techniques brush collection! It’s their premium collection which boasts ultra soft bristles (making them very luxe feeling) and weighted handles for flawless application. Real Techniques is one of my favorite brands to buy brushes and sponges from, and I’m a sucker for anything gold/rose gold/silver, so of course I had to try these out!  Continue reading
