Getting the Jitters.

Hey everyone, so it is the night before the semester starts. I have a 9 a.m. class tomorrow and of course I am nervous. The reason being that it is a chemistry class.....I didn't do too well in chemistry in high school. But regardless of that, I always get the jitters and a bit of anxiety before anything remotely "big" coming up. Thankfully I know one of the girls in the class and I won't have to worry about going into a class blind. Don't get me wrong, I like to meet new people, but it helps when there is someone you know and can rely on if you aren't too great in a certain subject. Anyway, I'm anxious and should be asleep.....but of course I can't sleep. I guess I will finish this post after my first day tomorrow.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well this turned into a first week of school post. Sorry for my extreme laziness, if you read my previous post on being a crap blogger (here) than this should be no surprise. It has been a bit of a busy week actually. My MW Chem class is a lot better than I thought it would be so far. As for the Culinary Arts classes that I was super excited to be taking on Tuesdays.....turns out they were lecture classes and there was no actual kitchen time. So I dropped those right after class (actually I couldn't even make it through the second one).

Now I can't go through a semester only taking one class because that would be an extreme waste of my time. I went searching and decided that online classes are always a great option, especially when most classes are full and I would need an override to get in. So rather than dealing with people, I looked online and managed to find a Psychology class that I hadn't taken yet (very hard, there was only 1 left) and an Algebra class. I am excited about the math because Algebra was always one of my favorite classes in high school (I know I am a geek, but who cares?) and because I haven't taken any legit math in college yet. In the 2 years I have been there I took my required math, which is Math for Elementary Education. If you have ever taken either of the 2 classes I have taken then you would know it is like going back to grade school all over again. Which surprisingly wasn't as easy as I would have liked it to be.

So anyway I am excited for this semester to kick into full gear, I mean as you all know that is when I will be doing my most posting!

Disclaimer

Hey lovelies, I wanted to post up a little disclaimer about my blog. I would never give a dishonest opinion on a product. I don't care if all the highend brands in the world wanted to give me products and pushed for me to make you all buy them, I would not do that. First of all I was never offered anything and I probably will never get big enough to get some (that is NOT why I chose to blog). Secondly, why would I give false information? If a product doesn't work as well as it should then I will let you know regardless of what everyone else is saying about it. On that note, these are all MY opinion. I know that everyone has different skin types and react differently to products, so if you like a product and I don't, you shouldn't take it too personally. I thought I would put this out there because I plan on doing some reviews on a bunch of products I have been trying and I want it to be clear. I purchase it all with my own money and offer my own opinion. I don't really want to have to keep putting this on the bottom of different blog posts, so just refer to it here.

Thank you for following on bloglovin' and I hope to be posting more soon! :)

August Ipsy Unboxing

Hello lovelies! So I was really excited about this months Ipsy box...So excited that I took a sneak peek at what I got before the package made it to my doorstep. Now I am not too sure about the value of the box because I didn't feel like converting the numbers, but assuming all these products were full size it would total to a little over $70. I am happy with the sample sizes I got however, and 2 of the products were full size. I still don't regret signing up for ipsy and I suggest you do the same. I will have a link for you at the end of the post. :)

The first is the noya Lip Balm in Cherry. I really enjoy this. It leaves my lips really moisturized and it's cherry flavor! I wish it was a tinted lip balm, but honestly I have enough of those. I am a lip balm junkie and this just fed my addiction a little bit more! 

Next is the Pixi Lash Booster Mascara in Blackest Black. First of all I am happy that it is in blackest black because I dont really like any other shade for my mascara unless I am working on a different look. This is a good "throw in your purse for touch ups" kind of size and that is probably what I will end up doing with it. I have never tried anything from pixi, but I guess my love for mascara is a good place to start! 

The Pacifica Alight Multi-Mineral BB Cream is the next product. It apparently has skin matching stuff in it that well matches your skin I guess. I haven't given this a try yet, but I love BB Cream because of how light weight and easy to wear it is, so I am excited about this as well. My sister has tried hers out and said it made her skin feel silky and gives a good glow. I guess that is good enough for me.

Chella Dazzling Dark Brown Eyebrow Color Pencil was the next thing I pulled out. It has got good pigmentation and I liked the highlight pencil I got from the brand in my June ipsy, but I am not too excited about this. I am not one to fill in my eyebrows for multiple reasons so this was not my cup of tea. I am sure that I will find some sort of use for this because I do really love the color. Maybe I can use it on my upper lash line for a more natural everyday smokey effect. What do you think I should do with it?

The last and probably most exciting product for me this month is the Michael Todd Jojoba Charcoal Gentle Exfoliating Facial Scrub. I am so eager to go try this out. I have been seeing Michael Todd stuff going around but I was too afraid to purchase it on my own because I have sensitive skin. I can try this and because they gave a 30% off code, which is better than the 20% that has been floating around on youtube, I may buy some products. Who knows, I just really wanna try this. I wish it were the mask, but I do love a good exfoliation! 

So there you have it, what I got in my subscription this month. I  recommend it to everyone....wow that sounds like I am being paid to say that, but I swear I am not. I just really like paying so little and getting a bunch of stuff.

I Am A Crap Blogger....

Hello everyone, well I haven't posted in months and honestly there is no real excuse. Sure I can blame it on school, work, writers block, or anything....the list goes on and on, but I won't. simply put: I am a lazy blogger. I feel like I have lost inspiration to write anything this Summer. It is actually weird though, I thought I would be posting a bunch during my Summer break, but here I am....post-less. Fear not my readers! The school semester is starting and I happen to write a lot more then. Don't hold me to it, but I seem to write a lot more then. Maybe it has something to do with procrastination and me finding anything and everything to do while I should be doing work. On a side note, my one year anniversary on this blog is coming up and I probably wanted more than a little over 20 blog posts up. Maybe I can make it more than 30 by November! ....Wishful thinking and all that anyway....

So long story short: there are some posts coming your way and I will try to be less crappier of a blogger. :)

Also as a final side note: i am now on bloglovin! So go ahead and follow me there. The app is one of my new obsessions!
