Charlotte Russe Butterfly Print High-Low Skirt

After a couple of years, I finally decided to wear this skirt. I don't know why I hadn't used it before because it's gorgeous and I love it. I actually bought it during "Happy Hour" at +Charlotte Russe, which is the time where the store gives random discounts to costumers for a limited amount if hours during the weekend. I think I got this skirt for half the price or so, and I also got myself another orange/lace high low skirt that I haven't used yet...

Rita's Italian Ice and Custard Cone Review

Rita's is an Italian Ice cream place where they have a variety of frozen dessert options. They range from water based to egg based ice creams, delicious toppings, waffle cones, and even custard cookie sandwiches. 

We decided to go just because we had a coupon for "buy one get one free" for any product at Rita's. We got the Sugar Free Dragon Fruit Italian Ice With Vanilla Custard Gelati, and the chocolate and Vanilla Flavored Custard Cone. 

Honestly, I thought that the custard was the sweetest thing I have ever tasted. Don't get me wrong, it was really delicious but it gets to the point where it is just too much. Maybe Rita's  should consider having smaller sizes or serving less custard on the gelati. Or maybe it's just me. I don't know. I just got really tired of the sweet custard. But I really enjoyed the Sugar Free Grapefruit Italian Ice. 

I think that the Italian ice is simply perfect because it is no too sweet and you can enjoy lots of it. The grapefruit flavor tasted more like some kind of red gummy, not really natural flavored, but it was still good. 

Overall it was a great and overly sweet treat for me. If you have a sweet tooth, you should definitely try the custards, but if you can't handle too much sweetness like me, go for the water based flavors, unsweetened ice or the Italian ice. 

Hope you liked this review blog!

Sept. 2014 - Ipsy Subscription Box Review

Ipsy is a makeup monthly subscription bag for $10. Every month Ipsy sends its subscribers a small makeup bag along with four to five full and sample products that match your preferences. These preferences are different for every person, since you have to complete a survey at the beginning of the process to personalize your Ipsy bags. For example you can choose to mark as favorites eye shadows and facial masks, while leaving off lipsticks and mascaras. Of course this does not mean that you will never get these products, but instead  Ipsy will try to provide you with the product you prefer and sometimes introduce you to products that you thought you would never like, but end up liking (like me).

Also after sending their monthly bags, Ipsy provides their subscribers with special discount coupons for the products of the month!

So in the following images, I will show you each product I have, along with its retail price, and calculated price (if the product I received was sample sized).

I loved the color of the lipstick and how smoothly it can be applied. It is not a really pigment, which perfect for those people who don't like bold lips.
 This nail polish is the bomb. It dries pretty quickly and it doesn't smell like nail polish usually smell like. And the color is gorgeous. In love!

Overall I LOVE this month's Ipsy bag. I couldn't have been more satisfied with what I got. Everything is good quality and goes beautifully with my skin. The price that this bag would have cost me is around $50. I can't beleive how much I got with only $10. I truly recommend you to try this monthly subscription because you will not regret it!

Evalectric/ Evolution Flat Iron Review

The Evalectric or Evolution Iron is an flat iron that uses infrared waves to warm the inside protein of your hair strands without damaging your hair on the outside. It claims to keep your hair styled for longer because it emits ions to your hair opposite of your body. The flat iron has ceramic plates that are much more delicate, but compared to the usual metallic plates, they do not burn or damage your hair. 

Top +Choies  Shorts +PacSun 

In this picture, I straightened my hair with the Evalectric flat iron. As you can see, my hair does not seem damaged or dry at all. 

After three months of using this product, I can say that this is one of the best flat irons I have ever used on my hair. Honestly, at first I was wary of purchasing it at the mall because of the price, but it was totally worth it. And I definitely recommend it because of how beautifully it works on your hair. 

I do not recommend buying the flat irons from the online page because they are double the price than at the mall. If you find an Evolution stand at the mall, and purchase a flat iron, you'll get a shampoo and a conditioner worth $25 each, and a three year warranty. So it is a lot better to purchase it at the mall or on Ebay than on their website. 

If you have ever tried any other product from Evolution line that you have liked, please let me know in the comments below. Or if you have any other line that you believe has the best flat irons, tell me about it! (:

Beautiful eye shadow, I loved it!

So overall, the bag I received for the month of August was pretty good. It has the value of around 30 dlls, compared to the $10 I had to pay. I say it was totally worth the try, and I think that you should definitely give it a try. Besides, if you don't like it, you can cancel your subscription, or 'pause' it so that you don't have to get it each month.

How To Be Unique

Millions of people are doing the same things you always do. They are breathing, listening to the music you like, shopping at the same stores, chatting with friends, etc. So how could you ever feel any different from all of those people?

Well first of all you have to realize that it is nearly impossible to be the only one in the world to be doing something. But just because this is impossible, doesn't mean that you are like everybody else. There are many things that make you very unique such as your likes and dislikes, your friends, your way of talking and thinking, and especially your genes (lol). But if you feel as if you were falling into the doom of a cliche lifestyle, just read a little more and you will know how to become a little bit more unique than yesterday.

The easiest way to become a little bit more different than everybody else is to break out of your comfort zone and try new things! Here are some examples that I came up with:

1. Start a new hobby

-photography

-collect stuff

-cook

-sing and dance

2. Dress up like you want to dress up.

    Don't be shy, everyone has their inner weird fashion waiting to come out.

3. Make your own clothes

    For me, making my own clothes has been very fun and rewarding; I have created pieces that I love and have worn many times. This obviously takes time an practice to perfect, but it's totally worth it.

4. Play with different colors and shades of makeup

    Try: Limecrime.com, EyeCandyCosmetics.com, UrbanOutfitters.com, MacCosmetics.com

5. Dye Your Hair

    Red Hair: hereeee

    Green Hair Inspo: click here!

    Purple Hair Inspo: click here!

    Blue Hair Inspo: click heree

    Ombre: click here for inspiration

6. Learn a new language

7. Lick Your Elbow

   C'mon try it...

Okay so I ran out of ideas, but you get me, just try new things and don't be afraid to do so. Just be yourself and don't be scared to do what you want to do because you may end up regretting it. Just free yourself from... well yourself because sometimes we tend to be the only ones holding ourselves back from doing things. 

Hope you found this helpful and inspirational, please comment down below what you have done or plan to do to become more unique! Thank you for reading. Also if you have any blog post ideas that you would like me to write about, feel free to comment down below. Thank you!

Roses and Chains Outfit

 So I died my hair a little more darker and reddish than before. I actually wanted it more like orange toned, but it didn't come out as light as I wanted, but I like it anyways (although it's already fading). 

My outfit consists of a top that I made myself ( which I am really proud of ) and shorts from Charlotte Russe. I think that this outfit looks quite formal but is adequate for a casual or everyday wear.

Shorts: +Charlotte Russe

Summer Reading Reviews 2014

I got these books for 25 cents each at a bookstore that had its books for sale. I have never seen the movies for any of the books except for the 127 Hours, which I thought was good but not really amazing. 

1. 127 Hours (Between A Rock And A Hard Place) by Aron Ralston
2. The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson
3. The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
4. The Help by Kathryn Stocket
5. Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay

My Book Reviews:

127 Hours (Between a Rock and a Hard Place) Review

Once I read the book, I thought that Aron Ralston's adventure was really amazing. His story has so much to teach and is so inspiring. 

The story is not all about the arm amputation, but rather about how he grew mentally and spiritually as a human being and how he became to appreciate his life, his loved ones, and even himself more than ever before. 

I would recommend this book more than the movie because it is more insightful about Aron Ralston's life and how he grew as a person and how he became to appreciate life. I think that by reading this book, I have learned the importance of appreciating the people who care about us and to simply appreciate all that we have.

Sarah's Key Book Review:

This book was really moving; it will not leave your mind. It is a story joins the past and the present to uncover really sad and awful secrets that connect to families together. 

The past takes place during the Holocaust, in France, where a Jewish girl named Sara is arrested, along with her parents. In the present, an American journalist investigates the roundup and discovers how she is linked to Sarah and uncovers the devastating secrets that tare her marriage apart. 

I really recommend this book because it is packed with so many themes, such as the Holocaust, the family, lies, deaths, abortion, and strength. I was really impressed that the story started and ended really strong, leaving me a bitter sweet sensation in the end that really imprinted my mind. 

The Lovely Bones Book Review:

This book was not what I expected; it was too tragic and gruesome. I thought it would have something more to it, like a twist of some kind, but the plot was too plain and there was nothing that hooked me to the story. 

The Help Book Review:

This is a beautifully written book. It is one of those books that you just can't put down. It lures you to keep reading because of the secrets involved and the thrill of wanting to know what is going to happen next. 

The Help is a story told through three different voices. Two black women named Minny and Aibleen, and a white woman named Skeeter. Chapter after chapter the narrarators switch out to tell the story from their view. 

Their stories take place in Jacksonville, Mississipi druing the 1950s, where they are about to make a major decision that risks their lives and of their families, since there is nativism and racism going on through that time. 

I would definitely recommend this book because it is a really enjoyable book that is hard to put down. It is a great story that makes you feel intrigue to know what their story is about and how it is going to tie up in the end. 

I hope you find these reviews helpful in choosing wether or not to read these books. If you are planning on buying a book, I would definitely recommend Ebay or Amazon.

Denim Skirt Overalls x The Simpsons Outfit

This has been one of my most playful outfits I have ever worn; I felt like I was a little girl playing dress up. It was pretty fun making myself look like a 90's kid. I can't say I was a ninety's kid because I was still a baby back then, but I can handle it (haha). 

I realy love my top from +Choies , which I think is sold out at the time :(, but you can probably find a dupe at +eBay . I can't explain how obsessed I am with +The Simpsons. I have watched the show since I was about seven, and I am still watching it. I don't think I will ever grow out of it, it will always be my favorite show.

I got my overall denim skirt from a store in Japan called Honey's, I think they have a website but they don't sell the same products online as they do in stores (the products in stores are muuuuch better). I wish they had a store in the US because I loved everything that they were selling there. Everything was really cute, fashionable, and true to size. Definitely planning to go back someday (hopefully it will still be there when I get to go someday :'( ...)

Outfit Information :
Top: +Choies
Overalls: Hoeney's Japan
Hat: +eBay
