<br />
So, if you haven't noticed already, it's been WAAYYY too long since I last published a post.<br />
<br />
I'm so, so, <u>so</u> sorry about my absence. School ended about a week ago, and things have been SO crazy! But I think I'll be able to get back into the swing of things now!<br />
<br />
It's Summer now, and I have a lot of exciting posts coming up and I'll have a lot more time to work on my posts! :)<br />
<br />
Have a fabulous day!<br />

<br />
Hiya people of the internet!<br />
<br />
So lately, I've noticed that music has become a pretty big part of my life (I know, I'm so corny). I've been constantly listening to music, and I find myself with headphones at all times. It's like an escape from the world to me, you can forget everything around you and it's just relaxing. I'm listening to music as I'm typing this, and I'm most likely listening to music while you are reading this!<br />
<br />
So with my music addiction has come a whole bunch of new favorite songs. I've listened to countless songs the month of May, and I decided to share my favorites.<br />
<br />
First, I just wanted to talk about my new band obsession because this is a good percentage of what I've been listening too. :]<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<b>5 Seconds of Summer - </b><br />
I think this is going to be my favorite artist every month, haha. 5sos has quickly became my favorite band. I'm so in love with their music and their personalities. Their pictures and videos never fail to make me laugh. I'm waiting for their album to be released, which is July 22. Ugh, it's so far away. :(<br />
<br />
Here are my favorite songs from them, so far: (basically every song they have released)<br />
- Good Girls<br />
- Don't Stop<br />
- She Looks So Perfect<br />
- Disconnected<br />
- Heartache On the Big Screen<br />
- The Only Reason<br />
- What I Like About You<br />
- Heartbreak Girls<br />
- Try Hard<br />
<br />
I didn't realize I had so many songs I liked from them until I started listing them all... :/<br />
<br />
The rest is just random songs I've been loving:<br />
<br />
<b>Problem - Ariana Grande ft. Iggy Azalea: </b>I can't count the number of times I have listened to this song. I never get sick of it, it's so good. Iggy's part is my favorite.<br />
<br />
<b>Stay High - Tove Lo: </b>I absolutely love the lyrics to this song, and it sounds really cool.<br />
<br />
<b>Little White Lies, Happily, Diana, You & I - One Direction: </b>I've been liking One Direction a lot lately, their latest album is amazing.<br />
<br />
<b>Am I Wrong - Nico & Vinz - </b>I can't figure out what it is I like about this song. I love the music video, too.<br />
<br />
<b>Ordinary - Ricky Dillon: </b>I love Ricky's YouTube videos, and after seeing the music video, I instantly became hooked to this song.<br />
<br />
<b>The Dark Side - Trevor Moran: </b>Another YouTuber I love. I love this song and I'm so excited for his new single!<br />
<br />
<b>Me and My Broken Heart - Rixton: </b>I love the beat and the lyrics to this song! I have had this song on repeat lately.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you all enjoyed this post! I know, I have a music addiction.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hello People of the Worldwide Web!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First of all, Happy Memorial Day! Thank you to all of the brave soldiers who have given their life for our freedom, you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep in mind today all of the courageous people who have sacrificed themselves for the independence of our country.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In honor of Memorial Day, I decided to create a makeup look that symbolizes the American flag. I hope you all enjoy!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>1. </b>First, as a base, I put my Maybelline Color tattoo in "Barely Branded" all over my eyelids.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>2. </b>Next, I took a white shadow over the cream eyeshadow to set it. I also put white eyeshadow in the inner corner of my eye to brighten things up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>3. </b>After that, I blended a red eyeshadow from my Be a Bombshell "Bora Bora" eye quad into my crease and outer corner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>4. </b>Then, I lined my waterline with a blue eyeliner from Claire's.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>5. </b>I also applied some mascara to my upper lashes - here I used L'Oreal Lash Out Butterfly mascara.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>6. </b>For my eyebrows, I used a clear mascara from Maybelline to set them in place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>7. </b>Lastly, I used Bare Minerals Moxie Lipstick in "Get Ready."</div>

<br />
When I first became familiar with Makeup, I didn't really know anything about it. However as I got older, and I learned how to use it, I found that people used it to make themselves look "better."<br />
<br />
But that's not why I wear it.<br />
<br />
I've always thought makeup was exciting. You can express yourself in so many different ways with just a little red lipstick or winged eyeliner. But that's why I wear makeup. I don't think you should wear it because it covers up your acne, or because you feel prettier with it on. Makeup should be fun, and only wear it to make you feel confident.<br />
<br />
I absolutely hate it when girls cake on a bunch of makeup just to impress a guy. Wear makeup to impress yourself, not others.<br />
<br />
It took me awhile to realize that this is why girls wear makeup. I've only loved it because I just love the whole process, and experimenting and finding what works for you. It's really disappointing how nowadays it's only worn to look better.<br />
<br />
That's why I don't think of makeup as makeup. It's an art.<br />
<br />
On my blog I want to enforce that makeup should be fun and creative, not a mask.<br />
<br />
That's why I love makeup. Why do you love makeup?<br />

Hey Hey Hey people of the internet!<br />
<br />
One of this month's topics for the 2014 Blogger Challenge is music. As I'm typing this, I'm actually listening to music.<br />
<br />
I literally screamed when I got this topic, because I listen to music twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. You can catch me with my headphones all the time.<br />
<br />
I recently discovered the band "5 Seconds of Summer," and became obsessed. From their music to their humor, it's all I have been listening to lately. So I put together this post of my new found band.<br />
<br />
Let's hop into it!<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I discovered 5 Seconds of Summer not too long ago, actually through One Direction. After hearing their song, "She Looks So Perfect," and memorizing all the lyrics, I began listening to more of their music. I love how there music is so different, but it still sounds amazing. Ashton Irwin, the drummer, sounds so cool in the background. Calum Hood and Luke Hemmings sing like gods, and Michael is always rocking out on the guitar. Overall, I can't wait to buy more of their music. I wish I could see them live! :(<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The music video is actually pretty funny. I put the video here so you can check it out if you want. </div>

Hey Hey Hey!<br />
<br />
This 2014 Blogger Challenge topic involves Spring outfits. I'm really excited about this post, as I love Spring fashion! I love all of the colors, patterns, prints, it's just one of those seasons where the fashion varies and the trends are really interesting!<br />
<br />
Recently, I've been using the website/app <a href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/home" target="_blank">Polyvore</a>. Basically, what you do is create an outfit using different pieces of clothes and beauty products from different stores. It's really interesting and I'm having fun creating outfits. If you want to follow me on Polyvore, click <a href="http://flawlessyfashion.polyvore.com/" target="_blank">here</a> and I'll follow you back! :) Also, I realize my username is spelled wrong, but I can't change it! And before we start, I'm not affiliated with Polyvore, I just wanted to tell you guys about the app I was using to create these looks.<br />
<br />
Now that all that's out of the way, let's get into the outfits!<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's the first outfit I created! I love the dress, it's so simple and it has coral, another Spring color. And of course I had to add a pink bow because I'm totally bow obsessed. I had to include this ring because it's so pretty and eye catching. Lately, I've been wearing a lot of rings as they are fun to stack with other rings! And the Keds are adorable, right?</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This next outfit I put together is one of my favorites. The floral print of the dress is just gorgeous and the statement necklace compliments it so well. Adding statement necklaces to outfits is so fun and makes your outfit look really put together.</div>

Finally, I created this outfit for a more dressy look. The color of the dress is stunning, mint green is one of my favorite colors. The cut of the dress is also very flattering. My favorite part of the whole outfit is the necklace. It just reminds me of the Springtime whenever I look at it! </div>

Hope you all got some inspiration! Tell me your favorite outfit in the comments below!<br />

Hey Hey Hey!<br />
<br />
Today I'm coming at you with yet another haul. Yesterday, as some of you may know, Bethany Mota's Summer Collection launched at <a href="http://www.aeropostale.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=23753606&cp=3534618.3534619.3534623.3541049" target="_blank">Aéropostale</a>. Being the huge Motavator I am, I had to go and check it out. I also picked up some other things at the Mall and <a href="http://www.target.com/" target="_blank">Target</a>, that I thought I would share with you.<br />
<br />
Also, before we begin, Everything was purchased by me with my own money/giftcards!<br />
<br />
Now let's jump in!<br />

First, I stopped by at <a href="http://www.aeropostale.com/shop/index.jsp?categoryId=3534619" target="_blank">Aéropostale </a>(for of course, Bethany), and I found this shirt and fell in love. Now this isn't part of "The Bethany Mota" collection, I believe it's part of the "Live Love Dream" collection. I love the colors and the text is super cute. Can you tell I'm excited for summer? On the back it says, "Summer - hair gets lighter, skin gets darker, music gets louder, nights get longer, life gets better, Live Love Dream." I love this quote!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The second thing I got is actually part of Bethany's collection! It's a really simple graphic tee that says, "Salt Hair Don't Care." I also love the quote on this shirt. I love the color, it's so bright and fun to wear with shorts or over a bathing suite. As you can tell, it's also keeping with my summer trend.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was so excited about this purchase! While looking around <a href="http://www.forever21.com/Product/Main.aspx?br=f21&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_term=forever%2021&utm_campaign=F21_BRANDED_E&utm_content=g_43465238958_e&gclid=CIfph92g4b0CFRFp7Aod5CMAJA" target="_blank">Forever 21</a>, I found a whole section of bows. I don't own any bows, and I really wanted some because they are so adorable! Also, I love the fact that it's white so I can pair it with a bunch of outfits.</div>

At<a href="http://www.rue21.com/store/jump/category/GIRLS/cat50002?gclid=CI7ksPmh4b0CFSqXOgod3BwAfA" target="_blank"> Rue21,</a> I got this really cool jean vest. I have been wanting one of these, so when I saw it, I may or may not have freaked out...don't judge! Anyway, I thought it would be cute to wear over a tank top and with a skirt. I can't wait to start wearing this!</div>

At <a href="http://www.ae.com/web/index.jsp" target="_blank">American Eagle</a> I got this cute top that says, "Say Hello & Wave Goodbye." I think it's really fun and quirky to wear with jeans or shorts. I also love the light blue/green color!<br />

While at <a href="http://www.target.com/" target="_blank">Target</a>, my friend told me she saw a blog post where using this base coat and top coat with nail polish lasts about as long as a gel manicure. I wanted to try it out too, because I don't really have a great base coat or top coat and my nails are always chipping. So I'm really pumped to test out the Sally Hansen Hard as Wraps base coat and No Chip top coat!</div>

Also at <a href="http://www.target.com/" target="_blank">Target</a>, I was looking at the Maybelline products and found the Color Tattoos. I've been dying to try these, and I finally decided to just get them! I love cream eyeshadows because they are so versatile and can be used in so many different ways. I got the color "Barely Branded" (I know I'm so cliché) and I'm really eager to try it out!</div>

Hi Everybody!<br />
As part of the 2014 Blogger Challenge, we were asked to share a review on a book. As a book nerd, I was pretty excited about this particular challenge!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ab/Hunger_games.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ab/Hunger_games.jpg" height="320" width="212" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The book I chose is a favorite of many. Who doesn't love the Hunger Games Series? Awhile back I read the book, and then I decided to read it again as it's been a few years. I completely forgot how amazing this book is! It's impossible to put down, I think Suzanne Collins seriously put a spell on that book to make you read it for hours on end.<br />
<br />
Anyways, the book is more of a dystopian type with a strict government and a sprinkle of romance. The main character, Katniss Everdeen, lives with her mother and sister Prim, and her father was unfortunately killed in a mine accident. Katniss lives in District twelve out of twelve districts in Panem, which was once known as North America. Long before Katniss, the districts rebelled and went to war with the Capitol, the government of Panem. The Capitol obviously won, and as surrender terms for the districts, they are required to send one boy and one girl to "The Hunger Games," in which twenty four tributes are sent to an arena where they fight to the death on live TV. When Prim's name is called in the reaping, Katniss steps forward to take her sister's place. The novel covers Katniss's journey through the Hunger Games and even her "love affair" with Peeta Mellark, another tribute from Katniss's district.<br />
<br />
I highly recommend this book, however I feel it should be for readers at the age of 12+ because it does contain a lot of violence. I am currently reading Catching Fire, the sequel, and then I'll move onto Mockinjay, the last book in the series. I would like to watch the movie, but being the coward I am I can't bring myself to do it!<br />
<br />
Let me know your thoughts on the book below!<br />

Hope you all are having a great day so far. Today I'll be sharing with you my "lazy day" outfit. It's really comfortable while still looking presentable, which is nice because sometimes all I want to do is lay around. -_-<br />
I'd also like to apologize for the poor picture quality, I'm working on it!<br />

Hi Everybody!<br />
Target is one of my favorite stores of all time. It has a lot of beauty/skincare products at low prices, what more could a girl ask for? Today I'll be sharing with you a few items I picked up on my most recent trip, and of course it's all beauty! Before I get started, I just want to say that I'm not bragging in any sort of way and I paid for everything with my own money!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The first item I picked up at Target was this <a href="http://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.drugstore.com%2Feos-smooth-lip-balm-sphere-blueberry-acai%2Fqxp480270&pid=uid9025-23884345-59&utm_medium=widget&utm_source=Product+Link" target="_blank">EOS lip balm in blueberry acai.</a> I've used these lip balms before, and I fell in love! They all smell really good and are pretty moisturizing. I also love the fact that these lip balms are organic, as organic products are hard to find! So far, I have really been liking this lip balm and it smells like blueberries but better.</div>

If you read my <a href="http://lipstickland.blogspot.com/2013/11/current-drugstore-beauty-wish-list.html" target="_blank">current drugstore wish list,</a> you saw that I really wanted to try these lip balms out. Well, I finally got my hands on them! I love the Maybelline baby lips, and I was super excited to try the <a href="http://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.drugstore.com%2Fmaybelline-baby-lips-dr-rescue-medicated-balm-berry-soft%2Fqxp505119%3Fcatid%3D300859&pid=uid9025-23884345-59&utm_medium=widget&utm_source=Product+Link" target="_blank">Maybelline Baby Lips Dr. Rescue</a>. I've really been liking these, and they do give off good color and can be built up. They do smell a little funny since they are medicated, but it's not that big a deal!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLTtiM8Xn6ahRd-r3q-pdnkUmwsqXDR589uEfN3eZ_fH-uqWN39IfNtbdmW_k3x5dmgYEprTBbaTTW3rKvEXS5OWKG9Y0aJ3nZAP_feVTy0wjLiQNiMY1AKaNuHJ-W3cq9SHpYNdSwa3o/s1600/Holiday+Palette.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLTtiM8Xn6ahRd-r3q-pdnkUmwsqXDR589uEfN3eZ_fH-uqWN39IfNtbdmW_k3x5dmgYEprTBbaTTW3rKvEXS5OWKG9Y0aJ3nZAP_feVTy0wjLiQNiMY1AKaNuHJ-W3cq9SHpYNdSwa3o/s1600/Holiday+Palette.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lastly, I just couldn't leave without buying eyeshadow. I decided to try the <a href="http://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=442700592&pid=uid9025-23884345-59&utm_medium=widget&utm_source=Product+Link" target="_blank">Elf Studio Geometric Eyeshadow Palette</a> I have an extremely unhealthy addiction to eyeshadow, it's a real problem. The packaging is nice and sleek, but I'm a little skeptical about the triangle eyeshadow shape. Although it's pretty interesting and something that no one has ever done before, it's a little bit of a pain to get an eyeshadow brush or even just your finger in with the sharp edges. Overall, I think it's a steal for six bucks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Hello Everybody!<br />
I'm a little bit late... opps! Anyway, as part of the 2014 Blogger Challenge, I'll be sharing with you my nightly skincare routine. Enough blabbing, let's get into it!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The first thing I do is remove any makeup that I'm wearing. I usually use the Pond's cold cream cleanser to take off my eye makeup. I guess the label came off, ha ha! Anyway, I usually don't wear a lot of face makeup, so I just wash it off with a face wash. When I do wear a lot, I'll use a makeup wipe. I've been trying out these Absolute! makeup wipes, and they're okay so far.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK4LsZrvd1zpqbRlZFhfrH4QfqjD6NZYwkMGl7TvCXNIuPPojXqD1cDI9GI6yGkpnHHSZX90wGcFJwMwqZp4qLgqmiEx0l9t6INlCGoWrgB2UvMJBRCnir9ngUXul-gPKYIh7-ub9akqM/s1600/IMG_1514%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK4LsZrvd1zpqbRlZFhfrH4QfqjD6NZYwkMGl7TvCXNIuPPojXqD1cDI9GI6yGkpnHHSZX90wGcFJwMwqZp4qLgqmiEx0l9t6INlCGoWrgB2UvMJBRCnir9ngUXul-gPKYIh7-ub9akqM/s1600/IMG_1514%5B1%5D.JPG" height="320" width="152" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next, I'll wash my face with a face wash. I've been testing out the Clean & Clear Essentials foaming facial cleanser. I just rub it all over my face like normal, using my hands to scrub all the makeup and dirt away. I really like it, as it does a great job at cleaning my face. However, it does have a bit of a weird scent.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_o79vtut36rS7MgsiCy_D8Ab5QJawg1-j8M7YUl_Q9YCDOBMaPFMBsc76salMTBVzuqaIX7G23-uCQ-EC4hoLKzsXT-DlLJ2oHo1Mr09LniDdukOBU5VufvT-68VE6FYMmHyGmjtilLk/s1600/IMG_1515%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_o79vtut36rS7MgsiCy_D8Ab5QJawg1-j8M7YUl_Q9YCDOBMaPFMBsc76salMTBVzuqaIX7G23-uCQ-EC4hoLKzsXT-DlLJ2oHo1Mr09LniDdukOBU5VufvT-68VE6FYMmHyGmjtilLk/s1600/IMG_1515%5B1%5D.JPG" height="320" width="210" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If my skin is really flaky and begging for moisture, I'll use a little bit of a facial moisturizer to soothe my skin. I've been using this Neutrogena lotion for ever, and I absolutely love it. It's perfect for my sensitive skin. Even though it has SPF, I use it for bed anyway. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1aOAxxc5bYmMP00R4SWogCEHO2o8HC2vnFosa3Ck5Hgot9pOgU-0i-Gy7Vv-6q9bOwF0U81G88HbjTTlGSXrturkt62uKn775VmM8ts2vea8Sl4fewEL62PCmet6hqY_9dxsRLIVxpl0/s1600/IMG_1517%255B1%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1aOAxxc5bYmMP00R4SWogCEHO2o8HC2vnFosa3Ck5Hgot9pOgU-0i-Gy7Vv-6q9bOwF0U81G88HbjTTlGSXrturkt62uKn775VmM8ts2vea8Sl4fewEL62PCmet6hqY_9dxsRLIVxpl0/s1600/IMG_1517%255B1%255D.JPG" height="267" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And finally, if I have a few blemishes or anything like that I'll use this prescription acne cream for my face. I don't think this is any "exclusive" cream, many people I know use this product. It works great and can rid of any pimples pretty quickly. If I use this product, I won't use the lotion for my face. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
I hope you all enjoyed my nighttime skincare routine! Come back soon for new posts!<br />

Aloha Everyone!<br />
Today I figured I would show you some of my New Year Resolutions! New year, new you! So let's jump in!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<b>1. Get on a blog schedule</b><br />
I actually created a blog schedule (Tuesdays & Thursdays) and hoping I am able to stick to it! I am would like to start on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but I figured I should wait until I'm not as busy!<br />
<br />
<b>2. Stay Organized</b><br />
Something that unfortunately I'm not good at. :/<br />
<br />
<b>3. Complete a Blogger Challenge</b><br />
I'm not ashamed to admit that Holly-Days was an epic fail! I'm hoping to complete another blogger challenge sometime this year,<br />
<br />
<b>4. Fix my blog layout</b><br />
Maybe a makeover?<br />
<br />
<b>5. Grow out my hair</b><br />
I have a really bad problem with putting my hair into vicious topknots. I really think it's preventing my hair from growing and getting longer! It's only been a few days and I'm already pulling myself away from the hair ties.<br />
<br />
<b>6. Show my face on my blog...</b><br />
This might be held off until the end of the year! I'm just not ready to show my face yet, so I'm hoping at do this at some point of the year...<br />
<br />
<b>7. Create a YouTube Channel</b><br />
This is something I have wanted to do ever since I was introduced to the beauty world. Maybe sometime this year I'll start one?<br />
<br />
<br />
Those were my New Years resolutions! Let me know your resolutions in the comments below!<br />

Hi Everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Happy New Year! It's my first post of the new year! Today I'll be sharing with you some inspirational quotes for the New Year! I choose two quotes that I thought had a deep meaning and will inspire us to make 2014 a great year!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I really like this quote because sometimes, we take everyday we are able to wake up and live our life for granted. But if we live everyday to the fullest, and make everyday count, then it's worth it in the end!</div>

<br />
This may just be one of my new favorite quotes! I love how relateable this quote is, and it's inspiring when you are overcoming obstacles or hard times throughout our lives. I never knew a bicycle had such a deep meaning! ha ha! <br />
<br />
I hope you all enjoyed these quotes as much as I did and let's make 2014 awesome!<br />

Hi Everybody!<br />
So today, I have a Holiday DIY for you all today! It's super simple, and really cute to put gifts for friends and family in the boxes! So let's jump right in!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy5ngE8qOUkZbZXWMCspvMpzZ_Wz5C5fArRkCSL7IA1v5ySL5nUX-NSMCe0w6Pao-KvhIhNW4__3Dg-DZ-P0xT5va74siHlAVz5uorOuNNM9o1Dnd7moIyjA7aQJ6xXH-kBN_mP5m3rj4/s1600/Blank+Box.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy5ngE8qOUkZbZXWMCspvMpzZ_Wz5C5fArRkCSL7IA1v5ySL5nUX-NSMCe0w6Pao-KvhIhNW4__3Dg-DZ-P0xT5va74siHlAVz5uorOuNNM9o1Dnd7moIyjA7aQJ6xXH-kBN_mP5m3rj4/s320/Blank+Box.jpg" width="319" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I forgot to picture the supplies...oops! Well I guess I'll just list the supplies instead!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Blank Gift Boxes (pictured above)</li>
<li>Any paint you may prefer</li>
<li>Paint Brushes (I also used a sponge, pictured below)</li>
<li>Paper plates/tray for paint</li>
<li>Paper towels</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikJNPAohUI5fXlFA5D_WnFIRTwhezl2-V4aAW47V5t8THFKB6zuXBI7lOv_SkCHLX2y9e8geIretlyCOriROhQaKDP9U180W_i3VEuH6sMuvT-hI_66X-klxcXuCdcdmMarI7ed0MXEPo/s1600/Box+&+Paint.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="187" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikJNPAohUI5fXlFA5D_WnFIRTwhezl2-V4aAW47V5t8THFKB6zuXBI7lOv_SkCHLX2y9e8geIretlyCOriROhQaKDP9U180W_i3VEuH6sMuvT-hI_66X-klxcXuCdcdmMarI7ed0MXEPo/s320/Box+&+Paint.jpg" width="320" /></a>\</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
So the first thing I did was take one of those paint sponge things and sponged it on to my gift box. I just patted the sponge on the box and it came out really awesome! It has this cool texture that stayed even after the box dried! I really like the way it came out. You could also paint the inside of the box, but I choose not to.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_lpCfCYNDbAd3RVoTMWLNZbvqv1ngyUdwKbdz_xTRwSxTohqYU8kHvm2eFzAu5BEmhT2k23EJFtZMswfNPL6frvi9oDA1OhrYnUhuePHAfVDAbG6zCtTBbRAqJLH8EBCAJeJBZk8IceU/s1600/Polka+Dot+it.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="234" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_lpCfCYNDbAd3RVoTMWLNZbvqv1ngyUdwKbdz_xTRwSxTohqYU8kHvm2eFzAu5BEmhT2k23EJFtZMswfNPL6frvi9oDA1OhrYnUhuePHAfVDAbG6zCtTBbRAqJLH8EBCAJeJBZk8IceU/s320/Polka+Dot+it.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I finished sponging the paint on, I decided to add some green polka dots! I just talk a small detail paint brush and painted some circles. I made some smaller polka dots, and some bigger ones, just because I like the size variation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipg16fmcy4eO7hLaztIycsiYVGiR4X2XYzU3AHQ9_8Yt4o51zMFHUJgdlzmRD5uYmmHQqKWHGX16knEQdasGp8igeVOvTs2psmFN5WCHlIoB53VknnJRPJ__2glVHJvT_lRRYSZV1mwm8/s1600/Finished+Box.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipg16fmcy4eO7hLaztIycsiYVGiR4X2XYzU3AHQ9_8Yt4o51zMFHUJgdlzmRD5uYmmHQqKWHGX16knEQdasGp8igeVOvTs2psmFN5WCHlIoB53VknnJRPJ__2glVHJvT_lRRYSZV1mwm8/s320/Finished+Box.jpg" width="283" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And here is the finished product! I didn't show the whole box, but I painted the dots all around the box. Overall, I was really happy with the finished product! I thought it really cute, and even used this box for a gift for my sister. For drying time, I bet it would be dry in a few hours. However, I would wait overnight to be sure, especially is you used a lot of paint!</div>
<br />

<br />
<br />
Here, I started making another one with stripes! It doesn't look perfect, but it's the thought that counts, right?<br />
<br />
Well I hope you all enjoyed this DIY! It was really fun to do, and great for wrapping gifts!<br />
Talk to you guys soon!<br />

So I just wanted to post a quick update. I will not be continuing Holly-Days as I am very far behind and was from the start. I am still planning a lot of Christmas/Holiday themed posts, so stay tuned! I was suffering from writer's block and hope to get some new posts up soon!<br />
<br />
Also, I am super excited for the 2014 blogger challenge, which is starting tomorrow!<br />

This game I haven't been playing for a very long time, But I'm in love! This game is addictive and so much fun to play! Basically, you create a High School and you complete quests to make your school better and better. The Holiday Edition has cute outfits for the students and fun decorations for your school!</div>

Hi Everyone!<br />
So I know it's technically not day seven because I don't have a day one, but lets just ignore that!<br />
I was surfing on pinterest and I saw some awesome Christmas hair styles! Although some of them aren't very practical or easy, they were super cool so I had to share them!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love how this hair style is so simple, yet stunning! The bow is adorable and I love how her hair is slightly wavy and curly. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh my goodness this is crazy! Not only is her hair in the shape of a Christmas tree, but it's decorated and has a star on top! I wonder how much hairspray you would need to recreate this?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How adorable is this? It's Rudolph! This is my favorite hairstyle out of all of them, it's so creative!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another bow hair style! (because I can't get enough of bows!) I love the little bump at the top and how versatile and casual the hair is! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hey Everyone!<br />
Now I know what your thinking - it is <strike>a little</strike> very late to be starting a holiday series. But to be honest, I was having trouble coming up with some posts and a name. I didn't want to use "blogmas" and I wanted to be at least semi-creative. I know not all of you celebrate Christmas, so I figured would use more of a neutral name. I decided to call it "Holly-days," because it applies to all Holidays happening this season. And, it still has the Christmas part with the "Holly," which is a plant used for Christmas decoration, and the countdown will be until Christmas. Now that I have bored you with my background information, I'll explain how it's all going to go down!<br />
<br />
I'll be trying to get posts up everyday, but if that doesn't work out, I'll just post every other day. My posts will vary, including tags, makeup, gift ideas, and crafts! I can't wait to start! It's going to be so much fun!<br />
<br />
Stay tuned for new posts!<br />

I know you are all probably sick of my empties, so here I present to you the last part of my empties! These empties are miscellaneous, so maybe they will be somewhat interesting.<br />

I also have the shower gel. I really like the lavender vanilla scent, it's very relaxing and calming! One thing I have to say is that some of the Bath & Body Works Lotions can get a little greasy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Although this technically isn't "empty," It's a very old mascara so I figured it was time to move on. Overall, I think it's a pretty good mascara, even though at times it gets clumpy! But, I love the way it makes my eyelashes look!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Will I repurchase? </b>I think I may branch out and try a few mascaras for awhile. Also, I think there are a few versions of this mascara so I think I'll try those, too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
