Valentines Day is Approaching!

Valentine's Day is a day that you either love, or COMPLETELY hate. Either way, its a day that lets us eat however much chocolate we want without feeling guilty and gives us a day to watch sappy love movies like The Notebook while we veg out in front of the TV eating sweets.

Fortunately, I have a boyfriend of over three years, but I won't be able to spend the 14th with because I'll be back in Charleston and he will be in our home town. On the bright side of things, I'm going home for the weekend so we can spend a pre-valentines weekend together!

For the sake of the holiday, I thought I'd put together some gift ideas that are a tad more thoughtful then some roses and choclate, but are budget friendly!

      
                

I hope this was useful! I'm going to have to make this blog short and sweet because I have two major tests to study for!

So until then, much love,

Feeling like a Fashionista lately

      

                                             

Lately I have been obsessed with the latest trends, what's in-what's out, 

and of course the "must haves." Due to a late night last night at King Street Grille, I have been laying in bed all day trying to catch up on the sleep I lost.

But I borrowed Style buy Lauren Conrad from one of my best friends last week and haven't had any time to read it, and what better to do today when the weather is nasty and still feeling down from a previous night. So I have

been reading it ALL day instead of sleeping.

I have always loved Lauren Conrad, even during her Laguna Beach days. Then when she did The Hills, I was so ecstatic I would be able to still follow her for another show! She always looks so simple, effortless, and classy. Her book Style, is very straight forward and it has made me want to have a wardrobe makeover. I have definitely fallen into the college trend of baggy tee-shirts, sweats, and Uggs.

No jewelry, no accessories, nothing but the basics. 

YUCK.

So this was just the motivation I needed to get back into the swing of things of creating new outfits with the clothes I already have, and to add some new pieces and accessories. (And let's just say I'm so thrilled that we now have a Forever 21 on King because I love all their accessories, and plus--they are all so budget friendly)!!

Also this Sunday is the Super Bowl that I'm so excited for! I am in no way, shape or form big into the sport, but I LOVE the commercials. My boyfriend and I are going to one of his brother's house (they just moved in two weeks ago so I'm excited to see it!!) and they are having a house warming/Super Bowl party!

But my best friends and I are having a girl night tonight and we are about to watch the full season of Friends, so I need to go get some pop corn popped, and hop into my pj's!

Hey gals! Well last nights dinner didn't go as planned. With the rainy cold weather and a lot of people were not able to make it, we just rescheduled for another night!

But I thought I would do a blog about products I'm loving right now! I love when other bloggers do this because its helpful when it comes to buy something and already knowing it works!

  

This is a self tanner from 

Victoria Secret! Its absolutely wonderful! I got the adjustable self-tan with shimmer so you can go darker or lighter depending on how tan you already are and want to get. Also the best thing is it smells SO good! 

This body exfoliate is the BEST! It leaves my skin feeling so smooth and soft, plus the lemongrass just smells so fresh! LOVE

These Estee Lauder lip glosses are just fabulous! I got this little combo pack that comes with these 5 shades and I love every single one of them!

This has probably been my number one fav product since like 6th grade! It's my all time favorite perfume!

I bought the zeno hot spot over the summer, and shipping was a pain because it took FOREVER! Then they sent me two :) I will have to say, for the money its not worth it. Its like maybe $40ish dollars, I cant remember, but you can only use it a certain amount of times then you have to buy a new cartridge or something. I don't understand the whole thing but before my batteries died recently in mine, I used it and it did work pretty well. It works the best if you feel a blemish coming and then try to catch it before it forms!

Well I hope this was helpful!

Fist Blog-Check!

Hey Guys! I'm super excited to post my first blog! Today is actually my birthday, so I'm crunched for time due to the fact me and a bunch of my friends are going to go to dinner at Tsunami and I need to start getting ready! I was just really ecstatic to start my blog that I couldn't wait any longer-plus its raining and freezing outside so I have nothing better to do at the very moment!
So for my birthday has been spectacular! Last weekend me and 6 of my friends when to my friend Lanie's beach house that was ocean front in Myrtle Beach. It was my first time I have ever been there, which shocked everyone!! We had so much fun! (Pictures to come soon!) My mom sent me an Edible Arrangement! I am obsessed with them, the fruit is just so fresh and the chocolate covered strawberries are to die for! I ate every strawberry in a matter of minutes, then I was so full I couldn't eat any more fruit!
Today I came back from class to find this in the hallway leading to my room: 

Anyways, I need to go get ready for dinner with the girls tonight!

Love always,

M
