Lush haul/reveiw

Initially I walked into Lush to buy myself a little treat for scoring really high on an exam that I thought I failed , yet this happened!  As I was talking to one of the workers she suggested why not treat myself to some new skin care items? Since I had just told her about school stress she said that she had a great line up of products that I should give a try. I had never tried ANY of these before haha



 Let the good times roll facial cleanser.
When I first saw this I was very skeptical because I am used to "regular" cleansers ha ha , this stuff is so weird looking yet it smells amazing like candy! What I love about it is that the ingredients are so much more beneficial for your skin than you're average cleanser. It consists of a bunch of corn and the scrubbing pieces are cinnamon! This is a perfect wake me up in the morning :)



Breath of fresh air toner water.
Packed full of naturally great ingredients for you're skin and is so perfect if you are someone like me who is running around all day with school and work and everything in between. This has natural sea salt and aloe which works wonders on tired skin, this is also good in the colder months if you have dry skin. Can be applied whenever , throughout the day or what I do is I spray my whole face with it before I apply moisturizer.

Grease Lightning Tea tree cleanser
This is something I decided on myself just because I had heard so many good things about it and I just thought I might as well since I was getting a bunch of face goodies anyways it would be wrong not to try it out! I tried it the first night that I got it and applied it to my trouble areas where I had been breaking out due to stress, and like magic the next day I kid you not , they where diminished 50%. I am definitely going to continue on with this product for ummm life?


Fresh face mask
I wanted to try the cupcake mask yet was advised that because my skin isn't that cray cray I don't need something that intense so I got this guy. Smells like grass? haha I think its fun that these need to be kept in the fridge because it encourages me to use it up before it expires therefore I keep up with a good upkeep with my skins needs. I then got these three guys :


Toner tabs  (Dream steam)
These are fun to do! Boil water and add it to a big bowl, plop one of these guys in and hid under a towel; you now have you're own private sauna for you're face! The chucks in the tabs are rose pieces , these make a weird liquid and you could use it as a toner spray but I am kinda lazy for that. After this I apply the Fresh face mask since it opens up pores on you're skin for a deep clean :)

So, I have defiantly been opened up to a whole new world of skin care and I think I am in love! If you are looking for simple easy routine that you're skin will benefit a bunch from then give any or all of these products a try.

Happy birthday to me!

Lemon deliciousness cake my mom got me =)
Here are a few of my favorite goodies I got for my Bday !
Enjoy .


One of my best friends gave me this amazing necklace from H&M, I'm not going to research it just because that'd be weird.It is totally my style and a pair it up whenever I am just wearing a plain top or just an overall plain outfit , this picks it up and I haven't worn it without getting a complement on it yet!


My oh so wonderful bf got me these bad boys. When I was in the store the sales lady suggested I try the men's sizing because I have huge feet (size 10) and on top of that I have bunions. I fit perfectly into a men's size 8 and they are much more wider so that my weird feet have all the room they need and are perfect for my orthopedics. I switched out the basic laces they come with for these bigger material burgundy ones I also got a pair that look more like laces but are a brown/burgundy color.
Looooooooooooooooooooooooooove.

To treat myself I purchased this top by Michael stars from the store I work at. It doesn't show up very well but it is black and the bottom is a hi-low so it covers you're bum if you wanted to wear it with leggings. This legit feels like you aren't even wearing a shirt is how comfortable it is. The sleeves are my favorite part because they are closely knit yet and when you stretch them out you can see right through them and this material goes up along the sides of the shirt as well. Makes a basic top super comfortable and sort of sexy at the same time ;)

Fall essential # One.

What better way to start talking about fall fashion this year than to show off a bunch of my great pairs of thick, long, cozy socks? With great pairs of boots comes great pairs of socks in my opinion. Here are a few that I've been layering with leggings and tights.



These knee high charcoal grey ribbed socks are from Blue Foret, these are a cotton/wool mix and are super warm for the cooler weather. They are a basic staple for layering.

Is it too early for this print? Nah. These are also knee highs from Blue Foret from their winter season last year. They are also a wool/cotton mix yet are a lot thicker with a higher content of wool. They make me excited for snow =)




These are chunkier then the first two and super comfy. Knee highs from Hue, I also fold them over to make them shorter to make them work with shorter boots. As I do with most of my socks depending on which boots I am pairing them with.

Now for my latest obsession:  Over the knee socks. These lovely ones from urban outfitters, they can be worn either way, over you're knee or just below as a knee high. I got so excited when I saw that the top of the socks have a thinner white material that will look super cute with high boots on and that peeking out the top of them.

  
 
These I just died when I saw them. They are also from urban outfitters, on sale two for twenty four-ish I think. They go SO HIGH. I cannot wait to wear these with tights or leggings and knee high boots. They are thinner then regular high socks but it will make them easier to wear with tights. These make me so happy and glad that it is my favorite season of the year.
