Haul: Holiday Beauty Products & More

I know this post is like kind of overdue.  I mean it's not really the holidays anymore.  Eh, whatever, I'm still going to show you some things that I got during the holidays.

• From Bath & Body Works, I got Pink Chiffon hand cream, White Citrus hand cream, Cranberry Twinkle whipped shimmer body cream, and Carried Away Body Butter.  For the Cranberry Twinkle whipped shimmer body cream, I plan to use it during the summer because I think it's kind of a waste to put this on like during the winter or indoors since no one can see the shimmer. 

• I got this EOS Holiday pack with Blueberry Acai Lip Balm and Berry Blossom Hand Lotion.  Both of these products are simply amazing!
  

• Yay for Christmas Ornaments!  These Christmas ornaments are from Big Lots, and they were on sale, so I got them for a good price.  I think these ornaments are just so pretty, and perfect to put on my Christmas Tree. 
  

So yeah, that was what I got during the holidays.  Thanks for reading! :)

Merry Christmas! + My Christmas Tree

I just wanted to say......

Merry Christmas!!! :)

So what did you get for Christmas?

Leave you answer in the comments below!

Since today is Christmas, I decided to share a picture with you guys of my Christmas tree!  Yayyyyy!

Anyways, have an AMAZING holiday! :D

Winter Essentials

I know it's actually been a while since winter started, but that's okay.  Well actually, technical speaking, winter started yesterday, so in a way, it's kind of perfect timing.  Anyways, this post is about what I think are essentials for the winter time.  Let's get started!

1. Moisturizers - Winter tends to be dry, so it's super important to moisturize.

• Aveeno Body Lotion: I use this for my body, and it never fails me.  This product is not just something I use for winter, but I also use it for other seasons too.  And this lotion can definitely make your skin soft even though the winter is dry.  

• Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream: I use this for my hands because my hands are the driest.  So if you have dry hands or naturally dry skin, I recommend you to use this.  

• Any Bath & Body Works Body Butter: For those of you who likes to use products that have a scent to them, I recommend any kind of Bath and Body Works body butter.  They feel so good on your skin, and all scents are simply amazing.  The one I have is Carried Away.  

• Any Bath & Body Works Hand Cream: I also use this on my hands if my hands are dry and if I want them to smell good.  If I'm outside and my hands feel dry, I just put this on, and boom problem solved.  This hand cream is also small, so it's easy to carry around.  It's not oily either, so once you put it on, you don't have to worry about getting everything you touched getting oily.  All Bath & Body Works Hand Cream smells soooo good.  I also have the Pink Chiffon scent of the hand cream.

2. Sweaters - Winter is cold, so I suggest you guys to have a sweater or two in your closet to keep you warm.  

this was already shown in
the previous post, but i'll
show it again

• Bethany Mota Gray cropped sweater: Just because summer is over, doesn't mean you have to stop wearing cropped clothing.  I love this sweater because it feels so comfortable, cozy, and warm.  Plus it's cropped!  I recommend you guys to get a cropped sweater, it doesn't have to be this one.  

same with this one (read caption for
previous sweater)

• Fair Isle Stripe sweater: Yay for pretty colors on sweater!  Since winter colors are a bit, well let's just say it's not as colorful, I recommend getting a sweater that has bright colors. 

3. Lip Balm - Don't forget to moisturize your lips as well! 

• Baby Lips Dr. Rescue Coral Crave: ah, the cooling sensation once it is applied to your lips.  I love this lip balm so much.  The packing is so cute, and it makes your lip have a pinkish-orangish tint.  I will be doing a review on this later on, on my blog.  So be sure to stay tuned for that. 

• EOS Blueberry Acai Lip Balm: I got this when I bought the Blueberry Acai & Berry Blossom Multipack.  Perfect for the winter time, definitely heals your dry lips.  

4. Warm Robe - I feel so cozy and warm when I wear this robe.

sorry about this crappy pic

5. Fuzzy Socks - My house has laminate floor, and since the floor is cold, wearing this makes my feet warm.

6. Beanie - Beanies add a special touch to your outfit.  Plus, they make your head snug!

7. Infinity Scarf - This keeps your neck warm, and adds a touch of color to your outfit.  (The scarf shown below is just an example, doesn't have to be this color and design.  I'm just talking about infinity scarf in general). 

8. Hot Chocolate - Hot chocolate is perfect for the winter time.  During winter, just sip this and your whole body feels so much warmer.  And it tastes soooo good too!

this is my favorite hot chocolate of all times

Okay, so that's all my winter essentials.  I hope you enjoy reading this post, and have an amazing holiday! :)  

Bethany Mota Winter Collection 2013 / Aeropostale Haul

Recently, I went to Aeropostale to buy clothes from the Bethany Mota collection.  If you don't know who Bethany Mota is, she is a beauty guru on Youtube, and her channel is called Macbarbie07.  When this collection came out on December 8th, I went to the Aeropostale website to see how the clothes from the Bethany Mota collection looked like.  I saw that I liked many of her clothing items, so I decided to go to Aeropostale and buy the clothes I liked and had my size.  And of course, I have to show it for you guys!  Below are the items I got from the Bethany Mota collection and clothes that are not from the Bethany collection, but are from Aeropostale as well.

First, I'm going to show you the clothes from the Bethany Mota Collection.

1. Heart Sunglasses Graphic Tee - I liked the color and the design.

 2. Owl Sweater - The owl is just so cute, and the sweater is soooo soft.

3. Gray Long Sleeve Cropped Sweater - I don't have any cropped sweater, so I decided to buy this.

4. Long Sleeve Baseball Graphic Tee - I don't have any shirts that are like this, so I bought it.  On the back, it says Motavator which I'm assuming is what Bethany Mota fans are called.

5. Motavator Tee - This was actually free.  The promotion was if you buy anything from the Bethany Mota collection, you get this shirt for free.  And it's one size fits all, so its really loose on me.






Now, I'm going to show you the clothes that are not from the Bethany Mota collection.

6. Love NYC Graphic Tee - The design is so pretty.

7. Infinity Sign Graphic Tee - I thought this shirt design was different from other Aeropostale tee, so I just bought it.

8. Fair Isle Stripe Sweater - The colors are so pretty together.

9. High Waisted Denim Jeans - I don't have any high waisted denim jeans, and I wanted one that will match with my cropped gray sweater from the Bethany Mota collection.

10. High Waisted Black Jeans - The fact that this had so many buttons made it looks so unique.

(Ignore the white line; it's not
part of the phone case design)

11. iphone Case - This was for free.  The promotion was if you buy $50 or more, you get this phone case.  And I did buy at least 50 bucks, so I got this phone case.  I just want to add that this phone case is holographic.







So yeah, that's what I got from the Bethany Mota collection, and what I didn't get from the collection but from Aeropostale as well.  For all of the clothing items I got, there was only 1 or 2 of my size left, especially the clothes from the Bethany Mota collecton.  So I feel very lucky that Aeropostale had my size.  I realized that the Bethany Mota collection sold really well, I mean I went to the Aeropostale store on December 9th, and there was only 1 of my size left for the clothing items I wanted.  Overall, I am very happy with what I got.  Anyways, thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy seeing what I got from Aeropostale! :)

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Movie Review

Today, I watched the Catching Fire movie, which is a sequel of the first movie- The Hunger Games.  I read the book before, and I have to say I liked the movie so much better.  This movie is sooooo good; it kept me interested at all times.  I didn't have a problem with anything in the movie.  I thought it was pretty close to the book, like there wasn't much difference.  In comparison to the first movie, I will say Catching Fire was better since there is more action, is more intense, has tougher competitors and better arena, and shows more on how crazy the Capitol is.  Catching Fire is definitely one of my favorite movies of all times.  Now, I am super excited for the next movie, Mockingjay Part 1.  Anyways, on a scale of 1 to 10, I will give this movie a 10/10 because I loved it that much.  So if you are pondering whether or not to watch the Catching Fire, don't ponder anymore.  Grab your coat, and head to your nearest movie theater.
