Boyfriends


Let's face it, shopping for jeans should be considered a workout. I always have such a hard time finding a pair that make my butt look good (not going to lie that's my biggest concernt but whatever) fits me at the hips perfectly, and at 5'2 doesn't drag at the bottom and overall is just a fit for my body. Whenever I do come across this perfect jean it's practically a hallelujah moment, and well I realized that focusing on a certain style has made that easier . Boyfriend Jeans. All I have to say, for someone who is picky on what type of jeans distressed boyfriends are my lifesavers, and I can't stress it enough. I am a self-proclaimed boyfriend jeans enthusiast and I like my jeans looking like a 3-year-old cut them up. Boyfriend jeans give such a cool, chill vibe and they can either be dressed up or down. For school or just casual days, I like to pair my jeans with either sneakers (converse), strappy sandals, or flats. High Heals and boyfriend jeans are possibly my favorite combination, it's so effortlessly cool and chic. Zara, 7 for All Mankind, Fashion Nova, Rag & Bone, Topshop, Levis, Paige, and Citizens of Humanity all carry the best selections.

Beauty Tips

Eyebags, pimples, blemishes, dry skin *intense crying*
Like any other teen, college student, I am constantly faced with all-nighters, stress, and those endless Netflix binges that turned into long sleepless nights that lead to dark bags under my eyes and breakouts. I came up with a list of beauty tips/products that have worked for me in the long-run. Most of these products have helped me gain somewhat clear and healthy skin and confidence, I hope that it does the same for some of you too. 
SKIN
Maintaining clear skin has always been a struggle for me as genetics make me extremely acne prone as does stress so I'm constantly focused on making sure I'm using the best products, from face washes to make-up, that are kind on my skin. 
Oatmeal Facemask: If you don't already have this in your house go BUY SOME NOW. I am serious when I say that oatmeal cleared my skin up and reduced redness and nourished my face all in a couple of days. Banana, honey, or baking soda can also be added, in which I recommend a honey oatmeal mask the most. What you do is get a small container and mix either the plain oatmeal (and if you choose to add the banana or honey) with either water or milk to create a paste-y kind of mask. Leave it on for 20-25 minutes and do so every day for a week to start seeing results.
Face Washes
Burts Bees Intense Hydration Cream Cleanser and Night Cream: To maintain clean and clear skin you really can't go wrong with this pair. When I began breaking out I used the Hydration Cream Cleanser religiously, washing my face with it first thing in the morning and last thing at night along with the night cream it works wonders, I highly recommend this the most and can be bought in whole foods or CVS/Target. 
St. Ives Even and Bright:This exfoliating scrub is perfect for minimal blemishes and/or dry skin especially during the summer. 
Chanel Le Blanc Cleanser: I recommend if you have naturally clear skin and are just looking for a refreshing, brightening face wash. 
Make-Up
Lancome's Teint Ultra: is my go-to foundation. Although MAC offers amazing make-up its foundations were heavy and cakey, Lancome's gives me full long lasting coverage while letting my skin breathe.
I hope this helps some of you at least and if you have any other questions feel free to ask, I will hopefully post regarding hair, make-up, and outfits more often, and anything you would like to see I am open for suggestions.
