MY FIRST VIDEO!! :D

Last night, my boyfriend bought me a new camera, and I decided to make my first video today! I get questioned a lot on how I curl my hair, so I did a quick tutorial on that. It's my first time recording a video and using youtube, so they'll get better with time! I promise! I hope you enjoy it! Subscribe to my channel please! Thankssss!! :]

Btw, the video's still processing, so once it's done the quality should get better. Anddddd, sorry about the crazy lighting and shadows from my blinds about halfway through my video lol, the sun decided to show up. Enjoy!

my current drug of choice.

Uh, hello amazing bundle of melt in your mouth chocolaty goodness. So, if you haven't tried TimTams yet, you definitely are missing out. They're a popular Australian cookie that has graced it's deliciousness onto American soil. That's right, you can find them at Target, sometimes at Walmart, but usually always at Target. I prefer the Chocolate Creme over the Caramel, but either way... get some! But wait, it gets better...

BEHOLD THE TIMTAM SLAM!!

You might think I'm insane for glorifying this little cookie, but until you have had a TimTam slam, you won't understand. Here's the deal, you get a hot beverage of your choice ie: hot chocolate, warm milk, or my personal favorite coffee. Nibble both ends of the cookie so that both ends are straight across, and use the cookie as a straw, kind of like red vines and soda. When you feel the warm beverage come up, hurry and pop the whole cookie in your mouth. YUM! it's pure ecstasy. I'll even provide a link to demonstrate how to properly do a TimTam slam. Yes, it's that serious. LOL.

As mad as I may sound... You know you wanna do it!!! ;]

I'll leave you with that thought... till next time fellow TimTam Slammers!

Random.

Last night I ordered a pair of World Series circle lenses in green. I opted for ones that wouldn't make me look like a possessed freak lol. Hopefully I'll get them soon and post pictures, yay! I ordered mine on LensCircle.com (but to be quite honest, they have the same kind, and more, on pinkyparadise.com for a lot cheaper!). andddd the pinkparadise ones come with a cute animal shaped case! i know, i was really bummed when i found that out. Regardless, I'm excited to try them out.

I bought the first season of Glee, and I LOVE it! haha. I think I'm fond of all things musical, and I'm definitely not ashamed to admit it. lol.

We went out and got some groceries earlier today, and I snapped a picture in the car. I always wondered what the heck FOTD stood for... and I think I've figured it out! Face Of The Day? Now, who came up with these anyway? whatever, here's my face for today lol.

Pretty simple. Just some bronzy, gold, with some neutral browns. I know, not the best picture to show makeup. I used almost all MAC products. It's hard to tell from the picture, but I'll list all of the products I used down below.

FACE:

Loreal True Blend Color Match foundation

MAC cream blush in Posey

MAC mineralized skin finish natural in dark (for the bronzy glow)

EYES:

MAC shadows. Casino, Retrospeck, Embark, and Cork (used Cork both on my lids and eyebrows)

MAC kohl pencil in Smolder

Maybelline mascaras, 2000 calorie and Colossal

ebay lashes (korean brand)

LIPS:

Maybelline Color Sensations in Pink Please

MAC lipglass in Underage

Not that anyone cares lol, but just incase anyone's curious.

My hair's day old hair (in other words not washed for a day). I like it the second day better than on the first. It's easier to style and looks better, more carefree and messy-like. That's my opinion anyway. All I did was pin back the two sides of my hair that normally frame my face with bobby pins. My hair's still wavy, since I curled it yesterday. Usually to get the messy look, I just spray on a little hairspray, then tousle and scrunch it, this is only if my hair is day old hair and previously curled.

I'll post a little something more later!

PHOTOS OF THE DAY. EBAY EYELASHES. & SEA LIONS?!

On the Oceanside Pier. Love California.

So to start, here are the photos of the eyelashes I recently purchased on ebay. They're handmade, so the band is a little stiffer than store bought ones, but i'm ok with it and am getting quite used to it. I'm usually into more of a thicker lash, but these are really cute and show up in pictures since they have little spikes. They remind me of the cute Japanese girls with the dolly eyes. 100 pairs for around $40? Pretty good deal! The stiff band actually makes the lashes last longer, if taken care of properly. Now, I've got lashes for months! lol. i'll probably continue to buy some thicker ones as well though.

Earlier today, the bf and I decided to run some needed errands and then make a stop at Ruby's on the pier. Our friend's had given us a gift card that we had yet to use. The day could've been sunnier, but I'm not complaining, it was nice to get some fresh air. I love Ruby's! They have the most amazing malts and milkshakes, not to mention the Cherry Coke! The old-fashioned way, not the store bought cherry coke. :] I had the fish and chips with parmesan bleu cheese fries. yum! i would've taken a picture, but I was seriously hungry and pretty much forgot to. :P Anyway, here are some random photos from the beach on our way to and from Ruby's.

There are more photos on my facebook, I was too lazy to post all of them on here!

OH, and only in San Diego will you find a wild sea lion hanging out by parked cars near the parking lot! lol. so cute, i just wanted to squeeze him! he was loving the attention! I decided to name him Simon... Simon the Sea Lion. haha. Who wouldn't love that face?!

PAPA.razzi

here are the photos from the other day that my bf (whom i call papa!) ;] took. nothing fancy. and my boys! harry and landon... they're much better models than i am. seriously, they can strike a pose like no other, and on cue! anyway, it's about 12am and i'm off to bed! goodnight!

Just a random picture. I was going through my photo album and came across it.

Over the weekend, I met up with a friend, whom I rarely get to see! She drove up from La Jolla, and we ended up going to a place called Yogis Beach Bar. The night was full of vodka tonics, laughter, and maybe even a little fist pumping?! haha. Our friends SP and Emily also spent the evening with us, they're definitely always down for a good time and I'm so glad they were able to make it out! Afterwards, we made a stop at the trusty Jack in the Box, or as my bf calls it, J Bo's, where we ordered 14 tacos and a bacon cheeseburger! So much for my diet! don't worry, I only had one taco... my bf managed to take care of our portion of the tacos lol. anyway, that was pretty much my Saturday night. I would've taken more photos in different locations, other than the table lol, but my bf lost the charger to my camera, so I'm relying on photos taken off of my friend's camera.

on another note:

OMG, if you haven't seen George Lopez's HBO stand up comedy specials, you definitely have to check it out! He is one hilarious man! I think I find his humor funnier now because I have a bf who's part Mexican, and he's taught me a lot of the slang and behaviors that George had mentioned. Regardless, the man is definitely amusing.

I still have to post those photos of my eyelashes that I ordered off of ebay! I haven't uploaded them, but i will!

Today's been an irritable kind of day. It started off with trying to wake up from crazy scary dreams, only to find that my body felt paralyzed and my eyes couldn't open! It's like my mind was awake before my body. So creepy, I seriously hate when that happens! Does that ever happen to anyone else? My bf experiences the same thing sometimes. Strange. Then, when I finally woke up, I felt like someone had beaten me up with a bat while I was sleeping! My body was achy and I had a gnarly headache! I don't know what it is, but today was a crappy day for me. I took like a 3 hour nap, and now I feel a little better lol. But, tomorrow's a new day! I want to get out and take tons of photos, not sure of what... I just know that's what I want to do. Oh, and I almost forgot, I have photos to post that my bf took of me in the house, just randomly. He likes taking photos when the sun comes through our balcony doors. Nothing fancy, I was literally on the computer at home when he says, "go sit in the sun." lol. uhh, ok? Of course, my puppies had to get in the mix. They can't not be around me for even a minute... worse than kids I tell ya! So, you'll get to see them as well. Alright, it's 9:30 and I need to get to the store to buy some water and drop off movies that we rented. We literally go through one of those 24 - 32 packs of bottled water in like a week! And ever since we discovered RedBox, we haven't been to Blockbuster in like a year. haha! it's convenient and fast! Only downfall is that we watch a lot of movies, so the selection gets limited. We don't have any tv in our house since we're moving! We literally have a bed...and that's about it! Ugh, I can't wait till this move is over and we get situated again. Anyway, have a good night! Will post again tomorrow! :]

p.s. I just bought the first season of Glee...and i loveeee! :P

A Beautiful Saturday.

I woke up this morning with the sun shining on my face... amazing. With the unusually crazy weather in SD, it's nice to feel the warmth of the sun again. While my bf was napping, I decided it would be a good time to take photos. LOL. Behind me is the white blanket with my bf underneath it... haha. We're in the process of moving, so we don't have any furniture left! We still have our bed, but we can only stand laying in there for so long. OH! and I received my eyelashes that I ordered from ebay yesterday! 100 pairs! I know! But it was a super deal! I took photos of those as well, which I'll post up later. Don't have really exciting to post, but I just wanted to post a little something. Have a wonderful weekend!

Tone and Moisturize...Naturally!

So, in the midst of running my errands, I stopped by Target and realized that I needed some toner and moisturizer. Now, I've been using korean/japanese brand cleansers, moisturizers, and toners for as long as I could remember. It started when my mom purchased me my first set, which she still sends me from time to time. :] I've never really fallen in love with any of them. Recently, I went to the mall and purchased the Purity face wash from Philosophy. I've gone through a little less than half of the bottle (the large size), and I must say, this stuff is amazing! My skin feels smooth, soft, and hydrated! I have really sensitive skin, and this cleanser did not make my face irritated at all. It has kind of a sandalwoody scent, a bit musky, but it doesn't bother me. It's not organic, but contains plenty of natural ingredients. LOVE it! Anyway, back to the toner and moisturizer. I really can't afford to be spending tons and tons of money on really expensive stuff, so while I was at Target, I picked up Alba face toner along with the aloe and green tea moisturizer. I just used both products a few minutes ago when I got home (I like to take off my makeup and switch into pj's if I know I don't have any plans for the night), and although I can't form a valid opinion, since it's my first time using the products, my skin does feel soft and refreshed! The moisturizer feels amazing! My skin feels sooo soft! It hydrates without leaving the skin greasy and absorbs really well! All Alba products are made with 100% vegetarian ingredients, so I felt safe purchasing what I did, since I have such sensitive skin. I've only used these products once and I already like them better than my expensive korean products, especially the moisturizer! They were on sale for $11.99 each, which normally I think they're only a dollar more, but hey, I won't complain about the dollar savings! :] Definitely give these products a try if you're looking for an all natural skin line. Affordable and good for your skin, you can't lose! I'm telling you, I can't believe how soft the moisturizer made my skin! (I'm literally feeling my face right now in awe! lol) I was skeptical at first since I don't usually purchase my skincare products at the store, but I'm glad I did! Hopefully they won't let me down after a few uses... I'll let you know once I've been using the stuff enough to form a valid opinion. Now go quench your skin! :]
