Mini Home Haul/ Beauty Haul!

5:02 PM

So much has been going on this past month it's so hard to wrap my head around it all! I've been working more than one person should for starters! I got to go to New Orleans for the first time as well. I've also bought some things for my home as well as beauty things. So lets get things rolling with what I've bought for my home!
I've been wanting these particular storage containers because they were small and simple, they finally went on sale and I snatched them when I saw them! Obviously one of them is a mug, I just couldn't resist and I'm completely obsessed with mugs at the moment. If could spend all my free time and money in a container store I would. Something about being organized makes me super happy!

This is the bigger of the bunch and it has two little drawer that pull out.

These two are more of a middle size, and they have a lid on the top

This is said mug, who wouldn't want to use this adorable little thing every morning?

This is the smallest of the organizers and right now I use it to hold my hair grips (all billion of them!)

Now beauty! Now I've known what LUSH was for quite sometime, but I just never felt I needed anything out of there. I have never been more wrong. I wish I could just buy all it and just make everything in my apartment smell like the store!

For those of you who don't know what LUSH is, it is a lovely company that makes handmade cosmetics. They make everything from bath fizzies to shampoo and conditioner! Whats also amazing about them is that they are very strongly against animal testing which is perfect for any animal rights activists! I just love how fresh everything is and how pretty the colors and smells are!

These are both bath fizzies, The one on the right is a butterball and smells amazing, the one on the left is a avobath and it makes you feel so soft!

My next trip I got a bath fizzie and bath melt! Both smell heavenly. The orange one is the melt and its called brightside. It has a citrus smell and I'm a sucker for citrus smells. The purple one is called Phoenix Rising and it smells just as good, it has more of a cinnamon smell, but it has gold sparkles and it's beautiful!

After LUSH we went to The Body Shop, I don't really know much about their store besides the fact that it always smells good in there and they like recycling. I got a body wash in the smell Satsuma, body butter, and had sanitizer in the same smell! (Again with the citrus smells!)

I'm excited to try out all my new products! Although I'm still debating if I want to use the LUSH products because they are just so darn pretty and smell to good to use!

Let me know in the comments below if you have any favorite LUSH or Body Shop favorites that you would recommend as well!

Talk to you soon! <3

New Orleans and Some One Direction

7:18 PM

I went to New Orleans, with some family friends this past week which was an amazing opportunity because, I was lucky enough to get tickets to the One Direction concert at the New Orleans Mercedes-Benz Superdome! While it was a long trip it couldn't have been more worth it, and I'd do it again tomorrow if I could. As almost everyone is aware One Direction is a British/Irish pop boy band who came in third on the X Factor UK in 2010. Since then they have become the biggest sensation on the planet. Not only do tweens and teens scream for them, adults from their early 20's (including myself) scream for these 4 British 1 Irish boybanders. You can't help but find yourself humming what makes you beautiful when you do your makeup in the morning or all the time if you're like myself!

~~Disclosure all these photos are mine. Please credit if you use!~~

You can't leave a concert without band merch it's just un-heard of.

You don't realize how far back I had to to get the entire name to fit!

I've got about ten of these perfume samples cause they were just giving them out like candy.

This is the view from our wonderful seats.

Concert selfies are also a must! (I'm on the right!)

The 5SOS set was really amazing

Graze and Craze

7:10 PM

I've recently been receiving snacks from a company called Graze. Now I'm not sure why I'm getting these, but I'm complaining here! If you aren't aware Graze is a company that sends you healthy snacks. This company sends these snacks for $6.99 US dollars plus shipping. While I would never buy these for myself some of these snacks are just so amazingly good! I wish I could buy a full size! Graze are big advocates of portion control which is good if you find yourself snacking mindlessly. They come freshly packaged in individual containers for freshness and the perfect portion sizes! The boxes can have anything from Mississippi BBQ Pistachios to chips and salsa! The fact that these snack have such a big variety and are full of protein, fiber, and vitamins and minerals is just amazing, and the fact that not one snack I've gotten has been disappointing in he slightest! If you want to know more just head over to Graze.com/us or Graze.com/uk If you don't live in the US!

New Adventures

10:52 PM

Today I had the great opportunity to visit a little town in Tennessee named Franklin. This town made me feel like I'd just stepped back in time, with it's beautiful brick buildings lining the streets, to it's hospitable locals. This town is the most ideal place for someone like me to live, not busy like New York, but not unbearably slow like the country side. But, enough about all that lets get to the fun part! Pictures!

Let me first start off by saying I'm insanely obsessed with stationary at the moment. I have no one to write, but I just think note cards and paper with cute patterns and words are to die for!

This adorable store was called Rock, Paper, Scissors hence the shapes.

They had adorable color schemes and the best stationary to full fill even my paper hunger!

This quaint little town was even equipped with a theatre revamped into a movie theater!

Every store had the most inspiring messages to make you stop and think.

This was a view I had from Anthropologie while I was exploring!

This store called Johnnie Q was a minimalist dream.

As much as I claim to be a minimalist myself that's far from the truth. I appreciate knick knacks to much!

And who doesn't appreciate a perfectly thought out and placed visual to catch the buyers eye?

This is the outside of Johnnie Q's

This little store had the best mannequin set ups I've seen!

This little restaurant is called South 55. We didn't end up eating there, but opted for Mellow Mushroom instead!

Last, but not least more knick knacks! I told you I had a problem!

This was the best little town to take a mini road trip to. It's not far, but the atmosphere takes you back to another time entirely. I think that makes you take a step back and look at the beauty around you.
