Healthy Foods!

Its always harder to eat right when you're stressed out and snacking while you're working. i know i absolutely love candy to snack on while I'm studying... its sweet and keeps me happy

But later i dont feel so happy because that sugar rush has disappeared.

i have been trying to make a conscious effort to eat healthier snack alternatives and get enough water and other nutrients in my body.

so here are a few of my favorite snacks.

1. Bunny Food



a fruit salad is healthy but tastes sweet, so it kicks my sugar craving, but is much healthier. Plus the eye craves color on a plate, so a mix of different fruits pleases the eye and can help you feel fuller faster.

2. Homemade Popcorn

theres something vastly more satisfiying about making my own popcorn... maybe because i worked at a movie theatre and i've seen what they do to their popcorn... (you dont want to know... really! you dont...)

its healthier and you dont have that awful taste of plasticky butter in your mouth after. just a pinch of salt and your good to go!

3. It's a Wrap.... Sandwich

I love tortillas, so i spread some mustard and add lettuce, turkey and peppercini's and wrap it up. its delicious and healthy. one tortilla is a good serving size you you're not over eating.

4. Greek Yogurt

this stuff is not only good for you, but it tastes good, plus you can use it as an alternative in alot of things you make. like cake, smoothies, guacamole! you can throw some fruit or granola on top for a filling breakfast.

5. Bruschetta

(Brew-sket-ta)

this is super easy to make and really tasty. pour some olive oil in a pan and stick your bread slices in there and grill them til they're your preferred shade of brown. mix olives, tomato basil and cheese if you want in a bowl and spread on the olive oil toasted bread. Bouna mangiare!

So there are a few healthier snack alternatives!

i know its not a fashion post, but sometimes i enjoy eating more than i do clothes!

Summer Vacation Outfits

My pitiful three week summer vacation is almost here, and you can bet im going to reach for my comfy but fashionable outfits. so here are a few outfits i've already put together in my head

Outfit 1. Black White and Neon

Bright Neon Yellow is so cheerful and exciting, and against a black and white silhouette its a great statement. keep it minimal with simple accessories and a matching nail polish, and a gold bracelet in complementary to this bright color.

Outfit 2. Denim and Coral

This is for a fun weekend trip, its casual but still looks put together and fashionable. Its also a comfy travel outfit. The scarf has the same color as the blouse in it which ties the looks all together. the leggings are a great alternative to jeans for a comfy casual day.

Outfit 3. Pink and Grey

this outfit is cute and girly, but super comfy. a detailed knit top is perfect for casual days. paired with destressed jeans adds a cool combination of styles. black flats and simple gold accessories tie in the look.

What to put in your travel Make-up bag?!

its almost summer and im sure some of us are going on vacation... vacation is a time  to recooperate and for relaxation and im pretty sure you dont want to spend all your time doing your hair and make-up so heres what to pack for simple and versatile make-up looks.


1. BB cream



make sure to research the right one for you, but a BB cream moisturizes and covers blemishes, all while priming healing and rejuvinating the skin. also find one with sunscreen in if you can, this elminiates all those steps of sunscreen, moisturizing, and priming before you put on your foundation.

2. Concealer



concealer is a must have, even if you skip the foundation, the right concealer can cover those tiny imperfections. find one thats moisturizing as well to prevent creasing during the day, you dont want to spend time touching up your make-up. you can also use concealer as a primer for your eyelids.


3. Tinted Lip Balm


a tinted lip balm is great its perfect for a bit of color on your lips and works as a blush!
its a double agent that saves room in your make-up bag.

4.  Neutral Eyeshadow Palette



find a small palette with 4-5 different neutral shades. this is great for multiple looks. use a lighter color suring the day and make a smoky eye for night.

5. Brown Eyeliner


a brown eye liner is ideal for vacation. its not as harsh as a black liner so you'll look pretty and relaxed. brown is also great because you can not only use it as liner, but fill in your brows as well.

6. Volumizing Mascara




bring your favorite mascara. it doesn't really have multiple uses... i guess you could fake some black eyeliner if you reallllly wanted. but mascara alone helps awaken the eyes. so for a quick look dab concealer on in places you need and swipe some mascara on for a quick look.

7. Red Lipstick


bring your favorite red lipstick along as your safety net, its a perfect color to go with pretty much every outfit. and it can tie in a simple make-up look. it takes you from drab to fab in seconds!!!




and thats all you really need to pack in your make-up bag. its better to take a lighter load because you'll spend more time enjoying yourself and having fun than you will putting on your make-up

wherever you go this summer have fun!!

ORANGE



Maybelline's dream bouncy blush in candid coral. this is such a pretty coral color for your cheeks. its sheer enough to a point were it wont look like big orange spots on your cheeks, and the formula is really cool too. its kind of an in between powder and cream blush.

Yellow



bubble necklace!! i love yellow statement jewelry because its that color that looks good with almost everything. plus its a fun POP!

GREEN



wet n wild color icon eyeliner in green. i love green eyeliner with my hazel eyes. i run a little bit of  this on my lower lash line and it just sort of enhances my natural eye color.

BLUE


sally hansen's pacific blue. i freaking love this color. its such a pretty nail color without being to garish. its a matte color with no shimmer duo chrome or glitter. its simple and pretty.

INDIGO



sorry for being too literal, but im gona have to go with dark wash jeans. they're such a versatile staple in anyones wardrobe!

PURPLE



Mac's satellite dreams. its a pretty shimmery purple color that flatters most eye colors. its perfect for the crease or for a little pop of color under the lower lash line.

PINK



revlon lip butter in sweet tart. its a pretty bright pink, but the formula is sheer enough so thats its not too bright. its a great color for spring and summer

MULTICOLOR


scarves with fun prints! most definitely, because they add Oomph to any plain outfit. plus they're versatile things to have in your wardrobe!





so there are my colors of the rainbow! i hope you enjoyed

4. harry potter on tape



i am proud to admit that i am a die-hard harry potter fan, and since im too busy to read the books right now, i listen to them on tape while doing homework! its relaxing and i get to listen to something i enjoy!

5. lavender salt scrub



technically i think this counts as a beauty item... but its kinda random.... but i've noticed after a long day of work scrubbing my feet under hot water with a lavender salt scurb relaxes me and helps my feet feel less achy and i sleep much better..
