The past couple of weeks I’ve been feeling a bit down in the dumps. For some reason I hit another wave of doubt about my blog. I felt like I’m this tiny blip on the radar that is the blogging community. But today I checked my blog stats, only to find out that I’d been mentioned by Natalie from thunderl0ve. Turns out she wrote a post on notable blogs, in which she mentioned mine! Reading her comments made me feel so much lighter. To have someone that you really know nothing about, other than the words they share on their corner of the internet, say such lovely things is truly amazing. It honestly brightened my week and reminded me how important it is to share the love. Sometime next week I intend to do a post on blogs that I’ve been enjoying!
I’m not a huge nail polish wearer I must admit. I’m a bit lazy with nails and where I work they don’t tend to last more than a day or two without chipping. But when I do crack out a polish it tends to be pastel. I can’t seem to help my love for pastels. There’s just something so light and appealing about them. They epitomize that spring/summer feeling for me. I’ve picked out a nice smattering of colours today for you guys. Hopefully something tickles your fancy.
I know mascaras are one of those things that everyone has a different opinion on. What you’re looking for in a mascara can be completely different from what the next person is looking for. Still, I’m going to try to give you a bit of a rundown of some of the L’oreal mascaras on the market and why I think they’re a winner or... well... we’re all winners as they told us in our eighth grade science fair (after we lost). I actually do like all of these mascaras though. I’ve been consistently impressed with L’oreal mascaras more than those from any other drugstore brand. Annndddd if we’re being honest we all like packaging that makes us feel a little fancy. They may not be YSL level packaging, but I think they have more appeal than your average Maybelline or Covergirl mascara.
I’m not a perfume connoisseur by any stretch of the imagination. I like some scents – Burberry Britt, Viva La Juicy – but I find a lot of the designer ones are too intense for me. These Pacifica roll-on perfumes are perfect for someone who finds your average perfume too overwhelming. In general these ones smell a lot fresher and lighter to me.
Someone once told me that if you add "laaadiiesss" to the end of any sentence it instantly becomes creepy (see title). I think it works. So I just got back from the gym and now I’m munching away on some salad and sipping kombucha. It sounds kind of impressively healthy, but less so after I mention the fact that all I’ve eaten today up until this point is a variety of desserts. Ain’t no kombucha gonna save me from that damage. Here I come heart disease. Anyways, less about that business and more about why we’re really here – mekuuup. Somehow I keep buying coral blush. I don’t know how it happens (maybe a total lack of self control?), but it does. So why not make the best of it and show you guys some of these pretty young thangs.
