Two Laid Back Outfits

There are days when I wake up, and I have a terrible headache or I'm feeling under the weather. In other words, I'm sick. The truth is, nowadays, we don't have time to rest. We're all extremely busy and becoming sick is an obstacle in life. I know how it feels and how miserable it feels, so I created two outfits that are perfect if you are in a sticky situation like this. Two laid back outfits
When I'm sick, all I feel like doing is staying in my pajamas all day long. The first outfit includes this brilliant Tiffany blue sweatshirt with a picture of a green and blue eyed cat. I love anything graphic when I see it, and it's just simply a sweatshirt that's really comfortable. I added a pair of comfy yoga pants, and I love the leopard print. I like yoga-pants  since they are basically leggings, but in a more athletic like way. To finish the outfit, I added a pair of Toms, which are classic and chic. I love Toms, since if you buy a pair, they will donate a pair to a less fortunate person in the world. I think that not only will you like the way they look, but you'll also feel proud of yourself. A little kindness can go a long way. This is perfect for an outfit if you're just going somewhere when you're sick(getting ice cream)or just at home.

This may seem not as laid back, but it's casual. This is a classic look that many people wear, and it's simply effortless. It's great even if you're feeling lazy! First I added a slouchy t shirt, and I love the high low part in the front and back. I added a pair of classic skinny jeans, since sometimes I find them comfortable. However, I also recommend wearing jeggings, since they're super comfortable and they feel like sweatpants!Last but not least, the Classic Converse. Converse is affordable, and you can't go wrong with them.

Recommended Beauty Products

So, since I've go some time on my hands, I decided to do a post on all of my favorite lotions, perfumes, and body sprays. I'm not that into make up, but I do take lotions, perfumes, and other things seriously. Beauty Products I use
Did you know that Snow actually has ultraviolet rays? Wearing sunscreen in the winter may seem crazy, but it's not. I don't like being tan, and I have to admit I burn to easily in the sun. As I told you in My Best Of 2012 Post , I mentioned that I love Clarins, since it can also deal with breakouts and it works great if you have wrinkles. I love this one, and it's sort of weird, but I also like the smell. Before I bought the Clarins one, I used my Neautrogena, which was also fantastic, and it served as my best friend during the summer.

For lotions, I love bath and body work's Paris Amour. It's a heavenly smell, and it's inexpensive. It smells a little sweet with a blend of floral, but the best part is that it's really moisturizing. I also love Victoria's Secret Pure Seduction Lotion. I actually got this as a present for Christmas in 2011, and I absolutely loved it. It smells like a blend of roses and plums.

You can't go anywhere without perfume.  Of course, I find that I'm really tempted into smelling every single one, but the thing is, once you smell a lot, your nose can't sense which one is which. They will just all see to smell the same. Of course, I love the classic J'adore by Dior, which just has a lovely floral and sweet scent. I'm terrible at describing perfumes, but I have to say you'll love it. I think that his can be worn on any occasion, which is perfect for all ages. Another perfume I love is Chanel Chance. I was tempted to like Chanel No.5, but it just didn't smell right. I remember reading all about it and how famous it was, but I didn't think it was as good as Chanel Chance. I think that this is perfect for spring and summer, because it gives you that fresh air feeling!

For body mists, you can't go wrong with Love, Love, Love by Bath and body works, or as I like to say it Lovex3. I have the lotion, and the truth is, I'm not quite fond of it. For some apparent reason, I liked the mist better. Mists are perfect for Gym, since the scent isn't too heavy and the bottles aren't made out of glass. I also love Love Spell, which I also got for Christmas in 2011. This one has a more dark and Plum is heavily associated in this. The scents pretty good though, and you'll love it!

I fell in love with body butters two years ago, when I bought one from Victoria's Secret. I believe it was discontinued, but I just loved how it felt when you applied it, since it was so soft. I find it even better than lotion. When I finally decided to buy another one, I got it from the Body Shop. The Body Shop's stuff is all made out of organic and natural ingredients, and I think the store is amazing. Also, if you prefer natural shampoo, they have the best deals. Anyway, the one I own smells highly of oranges, which makes me so hungry. The scent is also very bright and it seems like it'll get your mind going and start off fresh. The funny thing is that I love all things Orange, since I remember when I was in art class in 1st grade. My teacher had scented markers, and I think I had orange ink all over my nose every time. That's how much I love oranges.

Nail time: Why not buff up your nails? I love nail polish, and I know a friend who has the coolest nail blog.http://jpneonblue.blogspot.com is your number one destination for nails since she has great videos and the instructions are easy to follow. My favorite colors are mademoiselle by Essie, and Too too hot, also by Essie. If I'm attending a formal event, I slap on some neutral and elegant colors like this. If I'm feeling bold and trendy, I'll go with a bright red. I also think that these are basic must haves for a girl, so I recommend getting them. Special tip: Add some olive oil to your nails at night, to give them more strength and to make them healthy.



Special thanks to Polyvore, (a great collage website) and my friend Janhavi for having an awesome nail blog! Thanks for the badge!

Hit the Gym

The most common New Years resolutions are diet wise. Most women are hitting the gym, but only a few know how to do it........in style.  This also can be related if you have Gym class, and you just need some help. Here are some must haves, that are included in my opinion.Hit the Gym must haves
When it comes to work out gear, consider Pink by Victoria's Secret as your #1 destination. They include a whole section dedicated to the Gym. I recommend that you wear any old tshirt, and it's good to throw one on after the work out. You don't want to get sick either. One tip that I can say should be in the rule book are yoga pants. Not only are these too comfortable, they always seem in style. It's not baggy, and it's very convenient when you are exercising, and nothing will distract you. For shoes, I mainly recommend Nike's, and not converse. When it comes to exercise, you want to do it properly, and converses can result in twisting an ankle or getting hurt. They also help you improve, since it also makes your feet comfortable! You sure don't see any professional sports players wearing converses on the field! It's also okay to wear shorts, just make sure it follows a dress code.

When it comes to the gym, a duffel bag will become your loyal companion, and many duffel bags include convenient pockets, which will allow you to access everything easily. The number one product you could take to the Gym is some lotion. I think that scented ones are really helpful if you tend to sweat, which is perfectly normal. Another thing that you just can't leave the house without is a water bottle. You have to keep hydrated, and it'll make you feel better, like a best friend. You can also fill it up with Gatorade, which is a really good sports drink if you do any sports. When it comes to scents and perfume, make sure the container is plastic, not glass. I prefer mists since perfume can be really heavy sometimes. Choose a scent you'll love, and everyone else will like it too. If you feel uncomfortable or you wear make up, a nice thing to do is by a sweat blotter, which will remove a lot of oils from your skin. I find this really useful, since you always want to start with a fresh face. Since the flu has been going around, hand sanitizer is a must have, it will protect you from germs, and sometimes it's better for your skin instead of washing your hands with soap. Soap tends to dry your skin sometimes. Another thing that isn't shone is deodorant, I know almost everyone owns one, and it keeps you feeling clean.

Here is a video I found on how to do your hair for Gym, if you want to spice up a ponytail.

Holiday Spectacular!

With the holidays coming up, you need to buy presents for your friends and family. I know this might seem early, but the sales are here and most people shop early.However, you don't want them asking for the gift receipt. As you can see below, these are some presents that can be found under the tree. I also think that these are affordable.Holiday gift sets

 
As you can see, I chose mostly beauty products and goods, not clothing. Unless you know your friend's size, I don't recommend doing that. For the first gift, I chose a Vera Bradley nail set. It looks like a handbag, but when you open it, a very handy nail set pops out at you. The second gift I chose is Essie's 2012 winter collection. Essie makes great colors, and they have great quality. Personally, I think that this nail polish is the best gift to give. They may seem pricey($8) per a shade, but it'll make a great present. Since Juicy Couture came out with some of their more affordable items for the holidays, I thought that this hoodie would be great. Since Juicy's hoodies are usually $100+, I thought that this was a great deal. This cost $50, and the material is super soft, and anyone will fall in love with it. I also like all the fur on it. Okay, what's a better gift than a beauty set. Victoria's Secret has many great beauty products, this is perfect. I have this myself, and this is the Love Spell scent. It smells really good, and they also have other scents. Another set is the Bath and body works sets. Bath and Body have a wide variety of sets, but my favorite is the Sleep set, from aromatherapy. They come from a special set, where it smells so good that it'll make you feel sleepy. It calms you down before bedtime and provides better sleep. Since I am very into good smelling things, why not get a Yankee candle.They have great scents, but recommend purchasing the sweet and cozy ones. The scents don't lie. Since Yankee candles are a little expensive, here's a trick. Instead of paying $30, you can purchase them at Home Goods for $10. The next thing is really adorable. I've realized that many girls like ugly dolls, and I saw them at Barnes and Noble once. I have to admit, they make great presents.
 
 

Stocking Stuffers;)

 
stocking stuffersIf  they like stockings and little presents, this is perfect. Stocking stuffers are really nice, since you can find a bunch of tiny things and stuff them into a stocking. These are usually beauty products, since they fit really nicely. For the first item, I chose a Lippy set, since no girl can resist lip gloss. I also think that the colors are perfect for this season! Next, I chose a Coastal Scents palette, since they are really good and inexpensive. It's tiny and the colors are very neutral and they are a beauty essential. The next gift I chose was a Stila holiday palette, since I thought it was very festive. The colors look gorgeous, and I love the snowflake. However, who can forget the Baby Lips by Maybelline. Baby lips are really moisturizing, and they come in many flavors. I also like the packaging, since it is very creative and colorful. Next, I chose another Essie nail polish. If it's a stocking stuffer, you can get any type you want, since they make all types of shades. Of course, we can't forget about technology. Pink sells beautiful earbuds, which I love because of all the colors. Personally, the jackpot is Bath and Body sanitizers. They only cost $1.50, and they come in a wide variety of scents. I love each and every scent, and it's perfect for on the go!
