Hello lovelies! I have a mini post for you all on this beautiful Monday. I did a little shop at my local Bath and Body and had to restock on some of my favorites. These are pretty much the classic body creams that Bath and Body Works have sold over the past years and I had to share my favorites with you guys!
For starters, I'm not an avid lotion applier-person. Haha, scented lotion can sometimes dry my skin out even more and make me itch. Especially Bath and Body Works's lotions. These are body creams, however, and do not do that to my body. I normally apply these after I take a shower and just lather it on!
Pearberry- If you are into really fruity scents, I highly recommend this one. It isn't insanely sweet and sickening. It leaves a very pretty scent on and smells like you've just walked through a patch of raspberries and picked some pears in the warm sun! (Very descriptive, Natalie).
Sweet Pea- This is a classic. Everyone has either used this scent or seen it as they browse all of the scents in Bath and Body. It's your fresh, floral scent and is always a go-to when you don't know which to get.
Amber Blush- I really love using this in the summer and the fall. It smells so warm... haha that doesn't make sense, but you know what I mean! Like you've been sitting at a bonfire for a couple hours roasting marshmallows. Even though amber isn't exactly sugar, it smells very sweet and sultry. Kinda sexy, too!
These creams retail at $13 each and it actually takes a very long time to use one up. They have mini versions of these too for travel and if you just want a smaller size. I think Bath and Body Works have one of the largest selections of scents available all year round, so there's a scent for everybody! These are my top 3 and I highly suggest you all go try these out!

Hello lovely people! I hope you all have had an awesome start to your week! I have had a lot of testing lately and the weather we have had has been gorgeous (so I guess it makes up for it). Sorry for the messed up schedule. I usually post on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but I have been so busy and stressed with exams that I didn't even want to look at new posts for this week. Even though it's Wednesday, I still wanted to post something so this might be the only post for this week sadly.
Today I have an awesome palette to share with you guys and you are all in for a treat! Who doesn't love inexpensive (and great quality) makeup?
One of my favorite beauty gurus, Tati (GlamLifeGuru), did a review on this palette and I was so intrigued with how awesome the pigmentation and formula was. Considering the price, this is an amazing quality palette! The 10-Pan Studio Eye shadow Palette in Coming in Latte is so great. The palette comes with about six shimmery shades and four matte shades. The middle two colors are my favorite! You can create a really nice, gold smokey-eye. The shadows are not chalky or powdery at all. The palette also comes with a handy double-sided brush (which I might use during travel because I have so many other brushes).
I only wanted to swatch the first couple colors just so you guys could see the formula and color payoff. It's really nice. They aren't as creamy as I would like, but are great for an inexpensive palette.
My friend Alyssa, who you've all met in my Chinatown post, is going to prom this weekend and she wanted me to do her makeup. Of course I couldn't say no! I really wanted to see these colors in action and test these out to see what looks I could create. Yesterday she came over and I tried on many smokey-eyes. I wanted to do a pretty gold lid with a brown crease. I used some black eyeliner and just smudged it out on her lid as well. This palette performed amazingly for just that! She said that it lasted the whole entire afternoon before she washed it off.
If any of you are looking for a really cheap, great quality, eye shadow palette, I totally recommend this one. The colors are very neutral and easy to blend and build. I think this could also be a great beginners palette or even a nice gift for a makeup-lover like me! I hope you all have a wonderful week and enjoy this great, spring weather. My blog will go back to normal next week, so thank you for your cooperation.

Hi everyone! This might be something a bit different and I've never really talked about food on my blog before. But, hey. First time for everything, right? I am actually a self-proclaimed foodie at heart and my love for food has never really changed. I have some of my favorite food items for you all today and I am excited to share what I have been shamelessly indulging and obsessing over lately.
If you take away my peanut butter, you take away my soul. I have lived on peanut butter ever since I was a little girl. I would literally take a huge soup spoon and just eat it out of the jar. Peanut butter is a sacred food in my family because we eat it all the time. I am thankful that I don't have peanut allergies! Sorry for any of you who do. You are missing out! The Jif To Go cups are awesome to take to school or on trips. A little shot of peanut butter never hurt nobody!
The next thing I have been enjoying is honey in my tea. Not just the liquid kind. I don't know how I discovered these Melville Candy honey spoons, but they are the best things in the entire honey universe. They taste more like candy than actual honey, though. I think there's just more sugar in them, but that makes them a hundred times better when you dip them in your green tea! They also come in a bunch of other flavors as well!
I have never been an applesauce fan really. I don't know if it's just the texture of it that I don't really like...I just never liked eating a huge spoonful of it. Now, the applesauce game has changed so much! They're creating these awesome pouches of it that make eating it so much more fun and you don't have to eat it spoonful by spoonful. These Trader nice to take with you to school or to work for a little snack.
My mom picked these weird looking mints up at Trader Joe's the other day. She said that they tasted like minty green tea...and they do! However, my dad said that they tasted like dirt. So, I guess if you like green tea flavored things, you'll be okay with it, ha!
Right now I have been trying to make myself drink tea instead of coffee and I have to say, it's going pretty well. Instead of getting my caffeine through calories and sugar which is most coffee, I drink a cup of tea! I love Trader Joe's organic green tea and I also love to dip my honey spoons into it. I try to have a cup of tea before I go to bed to relax my muscles and everything. Tea is great for you and it isn't as bad as a cup of coffee with a ton of sugar that you don't need.
I might be doing more posts like this in the future if you all like them! This isn't a food blog by any means, but food is important and I love changing things up for you guys.
Xoxo, Nat
