I'm Back!

Hello everyone! I am finally back, and I am planning on doing some hauling and reviewing soon! I know, I know, I always say I am gonna do it and I take forever to follow through but I promise soon I will! I recently went to Bath and Body Works and took advantage of their big semi annual sale! I also got a new palette eye shadow palette for Christmas that I want to swatch and review!

So how was everyone's Christmas? Mine was fantastic! I was super surprised this year with all my gifts. I would have to say that my most surprising gift was an iPad! I did not ask for an iPad because they are majorly expensive, but I am so glad I got it and can not be separated from it! I received the iPad 2 so if anyone wants me to post a review/overview let me know! I would be glad to post one.

I am so sad that the holidays are over, this year I think I tried to force myself to get in the holiday spirit but it just was not working. Maybe it's just because I am getting older? Who knows. By the time I started feeling in the holiday spirit Christmas had come and went. Oh well, it's only a year away! I also celebrated my birthday recently so that kinda puts a boost to the Christmas joy.


Usually I think that I should look nice on Christmas but I kind of bummed it this year. I didn't do any fancy makeup or any fancy nails. On my nails I wore China Glaze Twinkle Lights with Seche Vite top coat and OPI Natural Nail Base Coat--- speaking of nail polish I got a small China Glaze collection for Christmas and I will post swatches and a review soon too! Maybe I will also do so,e kind of nail tutorial also! I'll write down all my ideas so I can keep up. My New Years Resolution will be to try to post at least once a week on here (among other resolutions...), it does not sound like much but it's a lot for me, haha!

I want to build up some kind of community with my blog so that I have more motivation to post for you guys, the more of a following I have the more I will be able to post, so spread the word!;)

So enough of this book I seem to be writing, I am sure it is boring you all to death. As always post comments for posts you would like to see in the future!

Oh, and for those of you who are doing some after holiday shopping, check out my previous post about eBates to find out how you can earn cash back on your online purchase!

Happy New Year Everyone

Free Money?!

Hi everyone!

It't getting closer to Christmas and I am sure everyone is still scrambling around to get their shopping done- I sure am! I wanted to share with you a website I stumbled upon called Ebates. I seriously am in love with it. What it is is basically a website the contains links to tons of different online stores such as Ulta, Kohls, Under Armour, JCPennys, ect. When I say tons, I mean more than tons. So what you do is when you are doing your online shopping, you visit the store through the link provided on Ebates. Each store has a certain percent cash back, so for instance, Ulta has a 4% cash back I think, so if you were to spend 100$ at Ulta, Ebates will credit you 4$. This really adds up quick, especially during the holiday season. Some stores even have a cash back percentage up to 12%! Ebates has certain times when they pay out to people. You have the option to be sent a check, or for the money to be deposited into your PayPal account. Ebates also provides coupon codes to each store, so not only are you getting cash back, but you are getting a discount! Here is the link to Ebates for those of you who are interested:

Ebates is really a no brainer if you ask me- it's free money! If you are going to shop online anyway, why not make a few extra bucks? Please let me know in the comments if you tried out Ebates and how you like it, I am so happy I found it! 

Have a wonderful day!

Beauty Blogger Tag!

Hello Everyone!

I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving! I sure enjoyed mine! I love getting together with the family during the Holidays, it's just so fun! As much as I do appreciate Thanksgiving, I am so happy that it is now officially Christmas season! I already started my Christmas shopping, and am actually almost done! I absolutely can not wait for it to get closer to Christmas so that I can really feel the holiday spirit. I just wish it would get colder out! It has not felt like winter weather at all yet, it's too warm! Oh well, it will snow eventually. Anyways onto the reason for this post! I decided to do a tag again today because I do not have any pictures ready for a review or tutorial, so I am going to do the beauty blogger tag! Okay, lets begin

1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight?

My hair is naturally curly AND straight. Weird, I know. My hair gets this really ugly frizzy curl right around my face and it is for the most part straight in the back.

2. What is your natural hair color?

Blonde! I love my blonde hair, but over the years it is turning more brownish, poo.

3. Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon?

I do not dye my hair, but I did one time and I dyed the underneath of my hair a darker brown/red color. I did this at home.

4. How often do you wash your hair?

I wash my hair everyday, sometimes every other day. I know, its bad to wash your hair so often, but my hair gets so oily!

5. Do you wear the same style every day or change it? 

I wear my hair straight almost everyday. Sometimes I wear it in a ponytail with a headband.

6. Do you do your own mani/pedi or go to a salon?

I do my own! I think it is so much fun to be able to take credit for the condition of my nails.

7. How often do you change your nail polish?

I try to at least once a week, but I get lazy sometimes and its about a week and a half before I change the polish.

8.  Do you polish your toes in the winter, too or just in the summer?

Winter too! Although I do not care so much about how much my toes are chipping in the winter because only the people in my house can see my toes.

9. How long does it take you to put on your makeup?

Totally depends! If I am taking my time I can get up to 20 minutes. If I am rushing, maybe around 10.

10. What do you do first? Face or eyes?

Face first. Not sure why, it just makes sense to me.

11. Do you "collect" makeup or just buy what you need when you need it?

Definitely collect! I am major obsessed with anything makeup.

12. How often do you wear false eyelashes?

Never! I do not really like the look of falsies on me.

13. Do you do a full face of makeup everyday?

I try to! The more I do it everyday, the harder it is for me to go a day without it!

14. Do you wear makeup when you are home alone (or with family)?
Usually, yes. Sometimes though I get lazy and just do not really feel like applying makeup that day.

15.  Will you leave the house without makeup?
This is a tough question because it depends. If my skin is not acting up too bad I will, and I will feel a little bit uncomfortable, but I can manage. If my skin is acting up though, I will not. But if I am in a rush I will just throw on some concealer.

16. How many "high end" products do you have?
Well, my most high end brand that I have is Bare Minerals eye shadow, and my mom gave it to me because she did not use it. After that I would say my It Cosmetics HD powder, which again, my mom gave to me because she did not use. Other than that I just have NYX which I am pretty sure is drugstore, and then other drugstore products like Revlon and Maybelline. 

17. How often do you wash your makeup brushes?
Uh..well..never... I know! Its bad, but I just never have. I will one day soon though, promise!

18. Do you plan your OOTD every night or decide when you are getting dressed?
I used to plan it out at night when I had to get up early, but now that I can sleep in I just pick my clothes in the morning.

19. How often do you change your handbag?
I do not use a handbag, so never!

20. What time do you get up & go to sleep?
I usually get up at 8:30-9:00 and go to bed around 11:00-11:30. I do not leave for class until 11:30 AM, yay!

21. How often and when do you work out?
I don't... whoops?

22.  Left handed or right handed?
Lefty!

23. How tall are you?
5'3 last time I checked, but my jeans are all the sudden high-waterish so maybe I am growing?

24.  Do you speak a foreign language?
No, not at all.

25. How many pets do you have?
4! 2 cats and 2 dogs!

26.  How often are you on Blogger?
Definitely not as often as I should be. I need to get in the habit of posting more. I think I will do a Christmasy nail tutorial soon?

27. Do you read the comments posted on blogs?
Well, right now there are not any comments on my blog (I am so a loser haha!) But I do read comments on other peoples blogs! I love to see the types of reactions other bloggers are getting.

28. Do you keep a list of products to try as you see other posts?
Yes & No. Sometimes I put it in the notepad in my phone and other times I keep it in my head, it all just depends!

29. How did you come up with your blog name?
It is just the way I would describe myself! Of course I am addicted to all things beauty though.

30. What kind of camera do you use for photographs?
I use a Nikon S3000 I think.

31. How often do you clean your house?
Not often enough!

32. What is your favorite color?
I am kind of weird when it comes to colors. I will say my favorite color is blue, but if I had to chose a color for something chances are I will pick a pink one. Weird, I know.

33. What is your favorite beauty/fashion magazine?
I do not really look at magazines so I do not have one!

34. Do you swear?
Sometimes. Mostly when I am home alone, or around my friends. I do not swear around family, it just seems weird to me.

35. What are you doing with the rest of your day?
My nails, a shower, maybe a hallmark movie, then I am getting ready for bed!

I tag everyone! Again, I am so sorry it has been so long since I posted anything! I will try to get back on track with things. Have a great day!
