Spring Break (Part 1)♥

I've been on spring break since the 22nd of March and today was my last day so I'm going to be doing a series of blog posts talking about what I did and new things i discovered. I didn't go on vacation so there will be a lack of tropical topics and pictures.

This first post is just going to be some things i found over break and loved.♥


The Hobbit 

I've always been a fan of The Lord of the Rings. I've read the books seen the movies. So when I didn't have a chance to see The Hobbit in theaters I ended up purchasing it and watching it twice over break (yes I am aware that is a bit weird). I think the acting, casting, costumes, and everything about this movies is amazing. The only down side is that it is in three parts. I seriously can't wait until part two comes out, I am definitely going to see it in theaters

  

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

This was more of a rediscovery for me, I had purchased this movie when it came out in 2008 and recently found it in my movie collection. Having nothing better to do with my time, I watched it and was instantly reminded of why I loved it so much. The combination of Michael Cera's awkward and charming character, Nick, and Kat Dennings shy quirky character, Norah, really makes the movie realistic and funny. Not only is the acting and story line good, but the music paired with it is also. The soundtrack features artists such as Shout Out Louds, Army Navy, and The Submarines. Overall, I was extremely happy to find this gem tucked away. 

Nivea Lip Butter 

I was out shopping with one of my good friends and was in search of this lip product, I had purchased this before in another flavor and used it up. When i saw it in caramel cream, I had to have it. It tastes and smells delicious and makes your lips super soft without making them feel slippery or sticky, which is a bonus. This is currently my favorite lip balm and I recommend this to anyone.

In the Garden of Beasts 

Picking up a book is never a bad idea if your bored. So I picked up In the Garden of Beasts, by Erik Larson at my local library. I chose this one because I recently read Devil in the White city, another novel by Larson, for school and enjoyed it. I haven't finished the book yet because it is 364 pages and I haven't been at home for the majority of my spring break, but so far this book is great; it's really interesting and the story line is great. If you're interested in history, particularly WWII or Nazi Germany, then this will be a good read for you.

That's all for now. Thanks for reading and part two of my spring break posts will be up soon.

Much Love,

(What's the Story) Morning Glory?

(this will be a bit of a personal post)

(What's the Story) Morning Glory? - Oasis

Yes, I am aware that this album came out in 1995 (which is also a year before I was born). It has always been one of my favorite albums since the first time i listened to it. Sorry if i ramble for a bit, but my dad has always played me music ever since i was a baby, and has shown me that there's so many styles of music. He has been one of the main influences in my musical preferences. I discovered this album when i was fourteen, which looking back was only about three years ago, but over the course of those years it has earned a very special place in my heart, and i can't get enough of it. Each song on the track has a different sound, in my opinion, but when played consecutively become something completely new. My favorite track, is Champagne Supernova,the beginning is so calming and beautiful and it just gets better as it goes on. Not only it's sound, but the lyrics are fantastic. Every listener I've spoken to has a different meaning to the lyrics and i find that if a song can do that it truly is remarkable.

 I know most people don't care to read about something so old, but it honestly is a gem, and it wouldn't be a waste to take some time to listen to this (again in my opinion) master piece.

Track Listing:

1. Hello

2. Roll With It

3. Wonderwall

4. Don't Look Back In Anger

5. Hey Now!

6. The Swamp Song (Version 1)

7. Some Might Say

8. Cast No Shadow

9. She's Electric

10. Morning Glory

11. The Swamp Song (Version 2)

12.Champagne Supernova

Topshop Clothing Review ♡

I have an extreme weakness for clothing in general. But one of my favorite places to buy clothes is Topshop. I have to buy online because the closest Topshop is two hours away. While browsing online i came a few things i had wanted, but only purchased two.

The first one is the Part Time Punk Tee by Tee and cake

My first impression of this shirt is that it was extremely unique and versatile. But what really sold me on it was  it's lack of sleeves. I am a sucker for muscle tees and graphic tees, so this shirt was the perfect combination of both. It also has the words "Part Time Punk" printed across the bottom which i think adds some extra edge to it. The only con of this shirt is that it is quite sheer and thin. So it's perfect for summer, but you would need to wear a bandeau under it or a cami. In winter you can layer it with a sweatshirt and jacket.

This tag was also pinned to the shirt. I thought it was cute and that i should add a picture.

It also had a removable tag that had directions for making cakes. Cute!

The next item i purchased was something I've heard many people rave about, the Topshop Leigh Jeans. I got them in black.

They really are great. Some people complained that their not like jeans at all, and that's true. I love it, when you wear them they look like jeans, but it feels like you're wearing leggings. So unlike most jeans they are super comfy. Another good thing about these jeans is that they come in a variety of colors and sizes! So you can get just about any color you want in just about any size. One con is that they are a bit snug on the waist, but will stretch out over the course of the day, so it should be fine. I had high expectations when ordering these jeans and they definitely lived up to it. Overall great purchase.

First Impression Of Covergirl's New Nail Polish

I recently went to Target to stock up on gum, but ended up in the makeup section. While browsing through the Covergirl section i happened upon this beauty.

It's called Covergirl Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss in the color mint mojito. I love colors like this where it's a greenish blue. I picked it up for $4.97. It doesn't really scream mojito at me, but more of a Caribbean blue. It looks really beautiful on and has a shiny finish, so you don't really need topcoat if you don't care how long it lasts.

The picture above is the nail polish without topcoat, and as you can see it is pretty shiny. Without topcoat it lasts about three days, with topcoat it lasts up to a week. Which is a good amount of time for a nail polish. Another good quality of the nail polish is that it's extremely pigmented, only one coat is needed to cover the nail completely. I only used one coat in the picture above. Over all I think this nail polish is great and I will be purchasing a few other colors. I'm really looking forward to buying this in Peaches and Cream (pictured below).
