VALENTINES DAY GIFT IDEAS

Valentines day is quickly approaching. I have no idea what happened to January but it flew by so fast that I almost missed it! Anyways not what this post is about. I decided to put together some cute ideas of some gifts for her. I've been browsing online lately and I've noticed some really cute things. I am totally obsessed with the powder pink heart shaped cross body purse, too cute! Also any bralette in pink or red is perfect for this v-day. 

And ladies, who said buying a gift for yourself on Valentines day was such a crime...

holy grail beauty products

Just like every other girl I have my GO TO products or "Holy grail" products. Ive noticed that through out the years I have always been picking up the same products. I always tell myself why try something new if these products work amazing for me. The first product is the dream fresh BB cream. Ive tried so many BB creams and this one has always been the best for me. I love it because it doesn't make my skin oily in the summer and it doesn't make it dry in the winter. It keeps it perfectly hydrated. It is not amazing coverage but when applied with powder on top it is pretty decent. I usually put the stay matte powder on top which is my all time favourite pressed powder, what else can I say, its amazing. ELF is a super awesome makeup line and it is so affordable. My two faves that I always pick up are the fake lashes, and the liquid eye liner. Bronzer bronzer bronzer, all I can say is if you need an amazing bronzer NYC! The compliments I get on this $3 bronzer are substantial. I love mascaras and Im always picking up new ones but the one I always go back to is my revlon lash potion. Simple, doesn't clump and it does the job. My favourite lip moisturizer is the mini vaseline in cocoa butter. It has to be the cocoa butter one, it helps my extreme cracked lips especially in the winter!

My DIY wall art!

I've always admired different wall art and I really like all different colours and sizes of frames together in a kind of collage. I bought this pack of 10 frames at walmart a couple of years ago for ten dollars. They came in black (Which I hate) I despise it, I find it makes everything look sad and depressing haha. I think thats because when I was thirteen years old my parents let me re-decorate my bedroom and choose the colours and what not, and I went all black and dark grey. What was I thinking?! Must have been my goth days haha. Anyways back to this post, I bought a variety of spray paint by krylon for about four dollars a bottles and I went to town! I did mostly gold because I am completely infatuated with anything gold. Then I went online and found this amazing bundle of card stock. Its really thick sheets that you put in picture frames with quotes and pictures. You can buy a couple of different themes, I think the one I got was the love theme. You can find them here. The possibilities are endless and you can create some really nice wall collages. I eventually want to add some letters for my initials, and possibly some kinds of antlers or something. I love the look of white antlers with glitter! 

I GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT?

This Thursday marks the three weeks since I was in my car accident. It was a regular Thursday night and I was just driving to my boyfriends to pick him up. After I picked him up we were driving and I went to take a right turn a little bit too fast and my foot got stuck (I was not wearing proper driving shoes) and I hit the gas instead of break and I went flying into the sidewalk over a parking sign and into an apartment building. My car obviously came to a severe stop and my boyfriend and I got out. I walked out of the car in complete shock then I sat down and don't remember what happened really. There was this guy that came out of no where and had a blanket and water for me. My neck did not immediately start hurting until that night. The cops suggested I go by ambulance to the hospital just incase. I am happy I did. After being in the hospital over night they did tests and it came back that I had severe whiplash. The cops took care of calling the towing company and got my car towed to a near by body shop. I was told that when my car was backed out of the building the whole front fell off. Sadly. I am happy to be okay and I am happy that my boyfriend was okay as well. After I got out of the hospital the next day I was still in shock and terrified of driving or being in a moving vehicle. Today my car was ready and I went to pick it up which was nice. But still scary. I did a video about my accident here if you're interested in watching that. The point of this story is please wear proper shoes and don't fool around while driving. Things happen way way way too fast!
