My November Playlist!

There is only 25 days until Christmas!!!!!!!!  This always my favorite time of year!  This month seemed pretty boring.  Not much really happened but it's about to get exciting.  I'll be posting a lot of holiday posts so get excited!  If you missed my October playlist then check it out.  I'm still obsessed with it.  This month I didn't really discover any new music.  I was in a 90's/2000's mood so be prepared for a throwback.  There is some new music though.  What are you guys listening to?

Cooking Corner: Easy Apple Crisp

Can you believe Thanksgiving is next week already??  It isn't really a huge deal in my family but we do enjoy spending time together.  We usually spend the day playing games and eating A LOT.  Today I'm going to share the perfect dessert to bring to dinner.  A couple weeks ago I had Apple Crisp and became obsessed!  My grandma found this recipe on Pinterest and it's SOOO good!  You can make adjustments if you prefer.  We used different apples and oats.  If you make this tweet me pictures.  Enjoy!!!

♥My November Ipsy Bag♥

I never thought I would sign up for any monthly subscription bags or boxes.  I just never saw the point.  Finally two of my friends convinced me to try Ipsy.  I am now obsessed!!!  I've been getting bags since August but I finally decided to share what I get.  If you don't know what Ipsy is then let me explain.  For $10 a month you get a bag with 5 beauty products.  The bag equals around $50-$60 worth of products so that's an amazing deal.  When you sign up you take a beauty test so your bag is customized for you.  It comes every month and you can cancel anytime.  Let's see what is in my bag!

Let's start with the bag.  Every month is a new design and I'm in love this one!  You will either get silver or gold constellations.  I think the gold looks better though.  It is slightly metallic which I love.  The zipper is also a gold star.

This is the Adesse New York Brightening Base Coat.  You put this on before painting your nails or just use it on it's own.  It prevents your nails from being yellow it also makes your polish last longer.  It is also cruelty free.  I'm very excited to try this product.

This is the Luxie Rose Gold Small Duo Fiber Brush 524T.  This brush is SUPER  soft!  It can be used with powders, creams, or liquids.  It's easy to blend with and it is great for sensitive skin.  Plus who wouldn't want this adorable brush in their collection?

This is the Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream.  This is for anti-aging.  You put this on your face after you've washed your face in the mornings.  I'm not sure if I will use this or not.  I might give it to my mom but you never know.  It's never too early to work on anti-aging and wrinkles.

This is the STARLOOKS Cream Eye Shadow in Rose Gold.  I've never used a cream shadow before but I really like it.  You can also use it as a liner.  It is metallic which I love.  It is very long lasting and very blendable.

Last up is the theBalm Cosmetics Mad Lash Mascara.  I love this!!  Mascaras are my favorite product anyway.  The wand is curved to really give your lashes volume.  It grabs every single lash.  This is also a cruelty free product.

Overall, I loved this month's bag.  It had a nice range of products which I like.  Also the bag design won me over.  My favorite product is probably the base coat because I constantly have my nails painted.  Do you get an Ipsy bag?  If so, what was your favorite product?

Weekly Obsession!

I'm SO glad that I have been keeping up with these posts.  Be prepared though because once the holidays happen most of my obsessions will probably be food related.  I'm very excited for my obsession this week.  My weekly obsession is......Beauty And The Beast!!!!!!!  This is honestly one of my favorite Disney films.  I watched it all the time as a kid.  When I heard they were going to make it into a live action version I just couldn't picture it.  Then when Emma Watson was cast as Belle I was SO upset!  She looks nothing like Belle!!!!  At that point I decided I wasn't going to see the film.  Then the trailer was released and I lost my mind!  It looks AMAZING!!!!  They really stayed true to the original film which made me very happy.  Emma Watson was really transformed and beast looked fantastic!  I'll leave the trailer below.  It comes out in March and I can't wait!!!!  Fun fact: My mom and I are actually going to see the play in May or June so will definitely let you guys know how it is.  What are you currently loving?  Let me know!

Lazy Saturday Outfit

I am loving outfit posts at the moment!  On Saturday I went to my nieces' birthday party.  I wanted to look nice but still be comfortable.  This is the perfect outfit for that.  I wore a slightly oversized blue striped shirt.  It is longer in the back with two pockets in front.  I love how the stripes go in different directions.  It makes it more interesting.  I chose a pair of lightwash jeggings.  They are super comfortable and the rip details make it more casual.  Last up are my ankle booties.  These are my favorite shoes!  The chain details are just perfect!  All my clothes are from Kohls.  For my hair I did a messy braid with my sea salt spray for slight waves.  Let me know if you want more posts like this.

Weekly Obsession!

It's been a crazy busy day today which is why this post is late.  I didn't forget though!  My weekly obsession is.....Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray!!!!!!!  First of all I LOVE this brand.  I own a couple of their other products and they are fantastic.  I bought this spray in summer and never got a chance to use it.  Now that I cut my hair I use it pretty much daily.  You can put on wet or dry hair which is perfect.  It really does make your hair look like you spent the day in the ocean.  It also smells SO good!  It's a really affordable product.  I paid $6 which is what other products in this brand are as well.  You won't regret checking this out!!!  What are you loving?

Quiz Tuesday: The Ultimate Game Of “Would You Rather” For ’90s Girls

Happy Tuesday!!!!  Today is also election day which I'm sure we are all ready for it do be over.  If you haven't voted then GO VOTE!  Even if the results aren't what you wanted at least you did your part.  Now let's get into something fun!!!  I LOVE the 90's so today's quiz is perfect.  Today's quiz is called The Ultimate Game Of “Would You Rather” For ’90s Girls.  It's not really a quiz but it's still a lot of fun.  You can take this quiz with me here.  Enjoy!!

Movie Review: Trolls

I'm not going to lie, I totally took my niece so I wouldn't look like a weird 27 year old.  I love Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake so I was super excited to see this film.  To be honest I didn't really know what it was about.  I'll give you a brief description.  The trolls are celebrating being free from the Bergens for 20 years.  When a Bergen finds them and kidnaps some of the Trolls.  Poppy decides to go rescue them with the help of an unwilling Branch.  I LOVED this movie!  I thought the storyline was adorable.  The soundtrack is also incredible.  It had some adult humor so everybody can enjoy it.  I highly recommend it!  If you saw it then let me know what you thought.

New Hair!!!

Do you ever make impulse decisions?  I do quite often.  Today I chopped off about 8 inches of my hair!  I've been thinking about it for awhile and finally did it.  I thought I'd share my new hair with you guys!  If any of you have short hair share some products that you use so I can try them.

Weekly Obsession!

Happy Wednesday!!!  This week has been going so fast!  I promised you I would be back with more obsessions.  It's a little different then usual.  My weekly obsession is... PeruseProject!!!!!!!!  You probably have no idea what that is.  It's a Youtube channel by a girl named Regan who talks all about books.  I discovered her maybe 2 weeks ago and I can't stop watching!  I LOVE to read and she makes you want to read books that you didn't even know you wanted to.  I love all her recommendations. She is a little bit quirky which I really enjoy.  She honestly reminds me of myself.  Go check her out!  What are you guys loving?

My October Playlist!

I hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween.  I went trick or treating with my nieces which is always fun.  That is why this post is a little late.  I just got home and went to sleep.  I didn't get to post last month's playlist because I was busy.  As you can tell I've had a blog redesign and I feel SO much more inspired.  Make sure you follow me if want to see all my posts.  I've been listening to a ton of music this past month.  I was in an old school mood and that is definitely reflected in this playlist.  I'm still loving my August playlist so be sure to check that out.  What are you listening to?
