10 THINGS THAT INSPIRED ME THIS WEEK

 Shine Bright

 Hello Pastel Balloons 

  All Green things

 Nomm-ers! I love Healthy food...makes me wonder

if I was once a Bunny Rabbit hippie.

 That American Life 

  The Hug Life, it's so Gangsta!

 No one else knows the basics of style better...

That contrast

MY HOT TOOLS

 Hair Dryer

I have fine curly hair natural but I like to wear my hair straight most of the time. A hair dryer is essential for me and I finally think I found one that won't inevitably break within a year. Got this one (Signature Ionic hair dryer by 'Nume') at 'Winners' (similar to Ross and TJMaxx in America). 

 

 Hot Rollers

 Another essential for me when it comes to heat styling my hair. Curly hair has a tendency to get frizzy after it's blown out but hot rollers really help to smooth out that situation. It also cuts my blow drying time in half and helps to prevent a lot of damage and breakage that would occur if you were to spend that extra time tugging at you hair trying to get it smooth. 

I've been using hot rollers for a few years now and they never fail me. I have the set pictured above and I got it at Sears. I really trust 'Conair' when it comes to hot rollers. They work really well to begin with and their products tend to last for a long time. That's generally hard to find with affordable heat tools these days.

Mini Flat Iron

 I use this maybe once or twice a week to smooth away my frizzy baby hairs if needed. Cute little thing and again by 'Conair'. These are super easy to find at most drugstores, that's where I got mine.

CURRENTLY LOVING

  Redmond Earthpaste Toothpaste

I first heard about earth paste in 2012 when I was researching all-natural toothpaste brands.  

It contains mostly benzonite clay, seat salt and tea tree oil as well as some essential oils.. It may sound strange because you're not used to it but these are the the types of ingredients we all should be using to clean our mouths. This works so much better than regular toothpaste for me in so many ways. I use the wintergreen flavor and I love it! See what others are saying about Earthpaste HERE

  

Fruit in a Pouch

Yes, Yes, I know it says baby food on the package but it's really just fruit-on-the-go for me. The packaging is brilliant. You can have fruit as a snack anywhere without having to think about the mess. Take this with you in your purse and there's no excuse for getting junk food while you are out. I guarentee you I'm not the only adult that loves this stuff. They are loads of flavors and brands to choose from in grocery stores. A++ for Smart packaging and Smart food.

EMERGENCY MAKE-UP

Time waits on no man and for whatever reason, sometimes life..and time only allots you 2 minutes in which to look put together.

We all know these moments; Midnight emergencies, alarm didn't go off in the morning, you need to run a quick errand, etc. We all have those moments in life where we need to get ready but we don't have the time to put on our usual face of make-up. 

I personally don't wear a lot of crazy makeup on an everyday basis but it still tends to be time consuming. Below are my go-to group of products that I use to feel put together in what feels like two seconds...

John Masters Organic Lip Calm

 

Feels and smells Amazing!

Tarte Bronzer in Park Avenue Princess 

 

For a little color and contour on the face..

Tarte Shimmering Powder in Champagne (Left) 

I use this on my eyelids and tear duct area as well as on my cheekbones and the bridge of my nose. This is also the highlighter I use on an everyday basis. I just Love it!

Josie Maran GoGo Instant Natural Volume Argan Mascara

 One or two coats of this mascara on my lashes and i'm out the door.




What are your Emergency make-up products? Perhaps a Tinted moisturizer and Lipstain...

TAYLOR SWIFT GALA STYLE

How Stunning does Taylor swift look in this dress by J.Mendel. Her hair and makeup also went so well with the dress making the whole look come together so nicely. Lets not forget about that collar piece which turned out to be the perfect accessory for this dress. 

The Theme this year at The Met Gala was 'Punk; Chaos to Couture' and I think this look fits the theme so well. It was easily my favorite dress and look of the night! :-)
