Winter Wants
Friday Nigh Business Casual by featuring genuine leather handbags
Prada genuine leather handbag

I have been realizing that a jet black purse and these adorable heels are staple items in a woman's closet. All of these pieces paired with a lovely turquoise chunky necklace and a black lace top would be a perfect ensemble for a night out! Ah. I wish it was Friday already!

AH!
It has been a month since I have really put any effort into my blog. Consistency is not my forte but at least I haven't given up, right? Honestly, I've had a lot of creative block--especially with the likes of school, boyfriend, two puppies and figuring out my future! The unknown of the future is honestly quite frightening to me yet I obsess over it day-in and day-out. I think a lot of women are like that though. I think it is our natural instinct to strive for security.
On a lighter note, thanksgiving was absolute perfection. I spent the morning with my boyfriend's family and then the evening with my HUGE, did I say HUGE? HUGE family. I am so thankful that our parents live so close to each other, so we don't have to switch off holidays. I know it can be hard for some couples whose relatives live far away. Honestly, I can't help but feel like my cup is filled when I am around my family. It is always so good to celebrate love and gratitude with those that know you better than yourself.
Au revoir!

Coffee and Thoughts
I really want to build my own BUCKET LIST. I have realized that I hold on to the comfortability in life and never explore, never leave this little box I have strategically placed around my life. But WHY? What is the point of living this very short life if I'm not going to make the most of it? What is the point of living inside a box when there is a huge world, waiting to be explored--to be seen. I am going to create a bucket list for 2013 and I really think this will inspire me to get out and explore. Do any of you have any ideas on what you want to do next year--visit family, go sailing, go rock climbing? Join me and build your own bucket list!!
I'd like to do a few of these things...
Sky Diving
Base jumping
Ice climbing
Yoga fest!
Brew fest!

Birchbox Review
New Birchbox this month!
-Harvey Prince| Yogini Perfume
Here is what it contains...
-Harvey Prince| Yogini Perfume
-It smells ok. It's fresh but almost smells like a boy to me. It makes sense that I received it because I do yoga but I'm not sure that I would associate this smell with yoga..
Mox Botanicals Lip Butter in Pomegranate & Fig
-I love lip balm. Although I am quite a germaphobe, I really love lip balms applied by finger. Is that weird? Pretty sure it is. So this stuff smells really good, it is light and it gets the job done. I don't really agree with chapsticks because I think they alter the chemistry of your lips to where they don't produce enough moisture, which makes them even more chapped in the end. I think the best way is to drink water but to also use petroleum based lip balms to temporarily reduce chapped lips.
-NUXE | Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Usage Dry Oil
-theBalm cosmetics | Mary-Lou Manizer
Kusmi Tea | Detox and Euphoria Teas
To be honest, I haven't tried this yet as I've just thrown away my teapot! I need to get a new one because I am a huge proponent of tea, although I drink coffee more.

-NUXE | Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Usage Dry Oil
- I have been on the lookout for a good oil for hair. I have dry hair from color damage and so I have been looking into natural hot oil treatments (heated avocado oil) and store products like Moroccan Oil. I'll go ahead and give this a try before I buy any of those and see if this is worth it.
-theBalm cosmetics | Mary-Lou Manizer
- This is an mica(compact powder based) illuminator. It has a gorgeous color, but to be honest I love NARS Illuminator in Orgasm. It is really beautiful, not too watery and not too greasy but I'll go ahead and give this a try.

Moto bracelet/xmas present?
--I really am such a Tomboy sometimes. I just don't wear a lot of dresses and am always wanting to be comfortable.
--I am a huge fan of letting your hair do its natural thing. I mean, I'll curl it when it is freshly washed but the next few days (I wash my hair every three or four days), I'll just let my bed style it and brush my fingers through it. I have a lot of FINE hair. I really wish I had thick hair sometimes but I'll take what I can get. Anyway, I love natural style as far as hair goes. Using a ton of heat on it every day kind of freaks me out actually.
--Also, I've been loving playing with the new colors in my Tarte eye pallet. If you want to try out new eye shadows, I really suggest buying a pallet first, then if you really love one of the colors, you can just buy that in a single.
--Just wanted to say I appreciate the lovely comments I get on here. I didn't realize the fashion/beauty blogging world was so incredibly nice. Too be honest, I could never really say anything negative on anyone's blog anyway. I truly believe everyone is so unique and has a natural beauty of their own!
Thank you again!

Here is an update of my daily going-on's via Instagram. I go to coffee shops a lot, read a lot aannndd love shopping in my mom's makeup drawer (she buys top of the line stuff--it's just not fair!). I am still, after months of being blonde, getting used to my hair... and I trimmed it myself--IT WAS SCARY. But I did it and I actually like how it turned out.
What is everyone's weekend plans? Photoshoots? Being lazy? Going on any trips? I'd love to know!
