A Better You

I have decided that I need to become healthier. I'm not really going on a diet... it's more like a lifestyle change. I want to start running and working out, eating healthier, taking vitamins, etc. You only have one life to live so why not be healthy. Starting Friday I will be running in the mornings, and really beginning my healthier lifestyle. This change doesn't mean that I will never eat unhealthy again, but hopefully less. I'm really tired of having extra little fat that I think I can easily get rid of. I am not going to really keep track of weight or anything.... more just how I feel and look overall. Hopefully by the end of summer I will reap some rewards of my hard work. I will do random updates on my progress and share secrets, tips, and what not with you guys!

On another note, I want to get into self tanners (sunless tan). I want to be tanner, but not because of the sun. Tanning from the sun (that also includes tanning beds!! They are just as bad and possibly even worse!!!!!!!) can be very unhealthy and have serious consequences... I'm just saying. Right now I am starting of with Jergens Natural Glow in medium. I will see if it really works or not and let you know. Next week is finals!!! And then the school year is over. I have been so busy, hence the no posts and all. Oh well I promise to keep you guys updated! I am going to go shopping later on today... so haul later?? Ehh anyone?? Haha I will probably do one if you guys want.

XOXO,
Cathy

End of the Year

So this school year is ending quickly, and I have so much I need to do. I have 100000 projects and finals are rapidly approaching. Not to mention I have work. I have been wanting to spend more time on my blog, but I really haven't had the time. I am so sorry. I would love to post really frequently, but it's difficult. Anyways enough of my sad woes. I came on here to ask suggestions for what I should post. Do you like nail of the days, rambles, fashion?? Leave me a comment and let me know. Also if you could share the love and tell others about my blog, it would be totally appreciated. (Not that I am saying you have to.) I am also wondering about makeup tutorials also in blog posts... I am a little iffy on posting pictures to random people though... This blog post is ending up to be pretty pointless. Haha I just felt the need to post something.

I was thinking of doing a favorites of the month, but I think it is too late into the month. Let me know if you would be interested in one next month.

Have a lovely week everyone. Happiness is a state of mind, so let's all focus on positive thoughts.

If you want to be happy, be. - Leo Tolstoy

Peace. it does not mean to be in a place where there is no trouble, noise, or hard work. it means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart. - Lady Gaga

Wish List

Hey everyone! I just wanted to do an update for you guys. I really need to get into a schedule to make sure I update regularly. I have been working a lot lately and I have some extra money to spend. I decided to make a list of things that I want the most right now to get and I plan to get them this weekend. Hopefully... :) I have been super busy so we'll see if I will have time for that. Lately I have been wanting a ton of makeup items, so I tried to narrow it down to a few that I really want.



1. I want a MAC bronzer because I am low on the one I have right now. Currently I have a MAC bronzer in Refined Golden, but I have hit pan. Since I have some extra money I really should go out and get one. I am thinking about getting the one is Golden, but I will have to take a look in person. ($22)

2. This is MAC's new Chromographic Eye Pencil. I have heard so many great reviews on it. People say it really brightens up your eye without looking as harsh as a white eyeliner. I don't know about you, but to me it looks pretty cool. I will be getting the shade NW 15/20. ($14.50)

3. This is a MAC lipstick. The picture is no particular color that I want. I have 6 items from MAC that I would like Back to MAC for a free one. I will probably end up picking a light pink color. Definitely not the bright red shown here.

4. This is Clinique's All About Eyes Concealer. I have been using MAC's Select Moisturecover Concealer for awhile now, but I want to mix things up now. I have heard really good reviews about it and I am really excited to try it out. I have dark circles under my eyes that I love to conceal. (Don't worry, I know I make it sound like I have bruises or something. Haha they are genetic and are a pesky flaw that I can cover up pretty well.) ($15.50)

Everything after number 4 won't be in the picture I just thought I would share some other wishes. ;)

5. MAC makeup wipes. I really like them to remove my makeup at night. They are really nice and I like the smell. The reason I buy these is because they end up being pretty close to the price of drugstore ones. (Plus drugstores don't have a back to MAC policy lol.) ($26 for 100 wipes)

6. I don't know if I will actually get this too soon... but this is Benefit's High Beam Highlighter. I have been wanting one for awhile now, but after reading this blogpost. Check her out she is really sweet. :) ($24)

6. Urban Defense Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 by Urban Decay. *Sigh* I want this really badly but currently is only available online. I really want to wait till it comes out in stores, so I can look at the product myself. I just don't like buying makeup online. ($32)

Ok, so this post was pretty long. I hope you enjoyed it though. What products have you been lusting over? Leave a comment!

XOXO,
Cathy
