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.

Happy Thanksgiving! + My Outfit

I just wanted to say...........

Yup, Snoopy again! (Happy Halloween image was Snoopy as well)

Happy Thanksgiving!!! ;)

So what are you thankful for?

Leave your answer in the comments below!

Since today is Thanksgiving, I decided to show you guys my outfit.

So on top, is this coat someone gave me from Aeropostale.  Below that is a gray sweater from Abercrombie, which is sooo comfortable and warm.  On your left hand side are a pair of jean and a tank top on top of it.  The gray tank top is from Hollister, and I decide to wear it underneath the sweater.  Also, you should pair this outfit with any kind of boots.  I personally don't have any boots, so I am just going to wear my black converse.  So that is my outfit!  I think it will be a great to wear something like this for Thanksgiving.  Tell me your thoughts on this outfit in the comments below.  

Seriously?! : Squeaky Chairs

So before I begin this post, let me just say that post title that begins with Seriously?! means that the post is going to be a rant about something.  I picked Seriously?! because when something like annoying happens to you, you say seriously.  Well I do.  Anyways let's get on to the post.

I hate squeaky chairs.  My desk chair is a squeaky chair.  It's super annoying because every time I shift my position, the chair will squeak.  And that squeak, ughhhhh is sooooo annoyinggggg.  Like, I'm trying to work here!  I don't want it to squeak, so usually I try not to move as much.  This results in me not being comfortable sitting on the chair.  I REALLY want to know how to fix this problem, :/

Book Review: The Truth About Forever By Sarah Dessen

This post is going to be a book review on The Truth About Forever By Sarah Dessen.  I have to say that of all the 3 books I read by Sarah Dessen (the other 2 are Lock and Key & Just Listen), this one was my favorite.  So basically it's about a 16 year old girl, called Macy, whose dad recently passed away.  Macy tries to be perfect to hide her loss.  Then, she meets the Wish Catering crew, where everything is chaotic and imperfect.  That's how she meets Wes. Throughout her times with the Wish Catering crew, Macy learns that life isn't perfect, and it doesn't need to be.  So yeah, that's the summary of this book (i don't want to spoil anything).  Now for the review.  I loved this book soooooo much.  It is compelling, sad, and humorous.  It made me smile as well.  When I finished it, I wished it was longer.  The characters were all really interesting.  My favorite character would probably be Macy though because she is relatable. Also, you learn a meaningful lesson from this book, which is to embrace your imperfections.  I highly recommend this book to anyone really, especially teens since it is such a wonderful read.  On a scale from 1 to 5, I rate this book a 5/5.  Okay, since you finished reading the book review, let me explain what Sarah Dessen books are like for those who are curious.  So basically, Sarah Dessen books are about a girl, where she struggles with something.  Then, the girl meets a boy, and well, you get the idea.  In all her books, you can also learn something from it, which I think is really great.  Btw, all her books are like that.  Anyways, thanks for reading, and I hope my review helps you! :)

Popcorn Chicken And Taro Tea!

Since I haven't posted a food post for quite a while and everyone loves food, I decided to do a food post today!  I got popcorn chicken and taro tea for snack.  I love popcorn chicken with some sort of tea because it's like the perfect match, haha.  Also, inside the tea, I usually like pearls or jello type things to make the tea more interesting.  Below is a picture of what I got.

So yeah, that's it.  Thanks for reading! :)
