Lykke Li

Lykke Li is an amazing Swedish singer. My favorite artist at the moment. Her music just makes me feel so good and have a deeper meaning then the songs on the radio now-a-days. Just listen to her!
Until We Bleed
Dance, dance, dance
Little Bit
Tonight
I'm good, I'm gone
Get Some
Melodies and desires

These are just a few, all her songs are seriously amazing! Right now my favorite is I'm good, I'm gone, but i truly like every song! Let me know what are your favorites artist/songs!

She Don't Use Jelly

VASELINE
good for everything? or nothing?


Well vaseline is very cheap and has loads of uses here are a list of a few (beauty related) uses:
1. Put a coat on your eyelashes before you go to bed. Lots of people swear by this - and say it will make your lashes grow longer and thicker over time.
2. Put a coat of Vaseline on your feet at night, cover them with socks and wake up to softer feet - every day!

39. Use a tiny dab to put a quick shine on your shoes and bags
40. Smear a tiny bit on your hands and scrunch through your hair for a choppy look
41. Use just a touch on the ends of your hair to hide dry and split ends
42. Remove makeup stains from clothing
43. Rub Vaseline on the neck of your nail polish bottles and they won’t get stuck to the caps
44. Make your week old nail polish look new again - rub a small dab over the polish.
45. Use a touch of Vaseline mixed with powder eyeshadow pigment to make new colors, or a more solid eyeshadow that won’t get all over your face when you put it on.
46. Stretch your favorite lotion by mixing it with Vaseline.
47. Put Vaseline on your lips, leave it a few minutes, then scrub your lips with a toothbrush to exfoliate and leave them SO smooth
48. Remove false eyelash glue from your lash line
49. Apply a small amount on dry spots on your body before fake tanning lotions are applied, and prevent uneven tanning!

Well some people say that vaseline causes cancer, but personally my mother has used it so I do aswell.
I use it predominantly to put on my lips over night to make them soft and also i put them on my eyebrows in between the times I wax. If your afraid of it causing cancer you can use the vaseline lip product which was specially opted to be used on lips, but I just use the regular version. (it's super cheap)
Let me know if you use it in other ways not mentioned above and give me your feedback on vaseline. Go or no go?

Mother Nature

Today was a pretty chill day. Went shopping (except I bought nothing) with vale. Then later Alexa, Jordan, Vale and I all watched Limitless. It was really goood, except you probably shouldn't take my advice on it since I like any movie that doesn't drag on for ages. For dinner we went to Akashi, aka: the best sushi place ever! I still feel full. If anyone was wondering about my sickness that came about tuesday, well I am still sick. And my ear has been clogged since yesterday! Its horrible and worst of all it all happens  in the middle of spring break! -.-
Anyways recently I've been really into these nature-y scenes and moods. Very similar to Alberta Ferratis Sprin 2011 collection. (Sadly I have no idea where the collages I made have gone on my computer, but if I do come across them I will post them up)








Lots of florals, lace, pastels, sheer clothing pieces! Maybe it'll inspire an outfit (:

FRIDAY FRIDAY GOTTA GET DOWN ON FRIDAY, PARTY AND PARTY AND YEAH

For those of you who are living under a rock. This video is becoming pretty popular. ITS HILARIOUS, though I feel kind of bad for the girl I mean everyone is mocking her.

BRIDGE JUMPING!

Not really anything to do with fashion, but I went bridge jumping with some friends and I felt like a bad-ass so I had to post this. Also I got sick from it, which sucks.
the first time we jumped into the water. took us a good hour.

Under the bridge
jumpinggg
Some friends who saw us and came paddling out to us on a surfboard like thing. Oh so casually.

Yes that is a dog you see. It jumped in after them and swam to us as well. It was actually a great swimmer.

I'd like to mention the fact that there are crocodiles or alligators (can't tell the difference) in this water. We are bad asses. This sort of just completed out spring break though it was only monday!

Electric Feel

I went with my friend Jordan to the mall to do a bit of shopping (mostly looking) but I just bought 3 rings and a necklace. We also watched I Am Number Four it was pretty good, but the ending was a cliff hanger.
Shirt: from childhood, Shorts: Urban Outfitters, Shoes: Steve Madden Troopa Boots, Bag: Moms
My mom gave me that bag and its over 15 years old, I really like it!


Owl Rings!!
Two rings I bought. One is an owl and the other is a tiger!
Awkward picture of me eating a cupcake. FTW
Sitting outside the bakery
Literally spent about an hour reading books in Urban
Urban Outfitters has to be one of the best stores in the world. Come on owls AND mustaches.. it's practically heaven.
Also Im really thinking of starting an animal jewelry collection. I bought two animal rings. A lion and an owl, also I got an elephant necklace! Really contemplating this idea. Tell me what you think!

Electric Feel- MGMT
