May and June Favorites 2016

-
  
I cannot believe it’s July and I’m already writing about my favorites for the past two months. Where has summer gone?! Where has 2016 gone?? How is already the middle of the year?? So many unanswered questions, haha. But anyways, here are my favorites from the past two months. Enjoy!
**All pictures were taken by the company/store website or by me unless stated otherwise underneath the photo.**

I ran out of concealer so I decided to try out two different concealers and then choose a favorite. But I really liked both of them, so I’m including both!

NYX HD Photogenic Concealer Wand – This concealer is super cheap and good for the price. It has more orange/peach undertones and dried quickly so I had to apply it quickly one eye at a time. It’s very pigmented so applying just a little will go a long way.
  
Instant Age Rewind® Eraser Dark Circles Concealer + Treatment In Medium – This concealer was also drugstore bought. It has tanner undertones rather than orange undertones. It’s not as pigmented as the NYX concealer but that just means applying a normal amount like with any other concealer will work and it does work just as well in my opinion. I thought the applicator was kinda cool because it felt like I was applying a little pillow under my eyes.

Ballet Flats
I was last minute shopping for Michigan and realized that my flats had a hole in them. I was in a big hurry and didn’t really have time to shop around so while I was grocery shopping at Walmart, I stopped by the shoe section just to see if they had any and they did! And they were like 5 bucks so I was like, why not? If they break, there is not much to lose, right? It’s been about a month now and I’ve been wearing them a lot to work and they’ve been doing well so far on my feet. And they are actually pretty comfy and I didn’t have to waste time breaking them in or anything!
  
Black Sandals
I was also in dire need of a pair of black sandals because my old sandals which I’ve had since 7TH GRADE were also on the verge of breaking, so I went to Target (because that’s where I got my last pair and they’ve lasted me 8+ years lol) and got this cute pair! They’re very comfy and go with everything.
    
Long-Sleeved top by Kendall & Kylie
I got this top from Pacsun because it was super cute and I didn't really have any tops in this style or color!
   
Long-Sleeved Crop Top by L.A. Hearts
Another top that I got at PacSun which I thought was super cute and comfy! Like the maroon top, I didn't have many tops this style and color, so I thought why not? It's very spring and summery. 
   
Day Designer “Green Geo” Planner
I needed a planner while I was here in Michigan to write anything important going on so I bought this one and it’s super cute! I am also excited to use it during this upcoming (gag) school year. Now I’ll really look like I have my sh*t together :P
  
The Human Condition by Jon Bellion
Thanks to the wonderful online streaming service called Spotify, I heard this artist for the first time last year? I think. Then I found his mixtape The Definition and I’ve been keeping up with him ever since. He is extremely talented and FINALLY released his first full-length album on June 10th, and wowowowow… it is amazing. It’s the perfect mix of pop and hip-hop and has a really unique sound compared to all the mainstream stuff on the radio. I bought tickets to his concert here in Detroit so I’m super excited to see him perform live!

Love You to Death by Tegan and Sara
This sister duo released an album a few weeks ago and it is a throwback to the 80s and so good!

Starbucks S’mores Frappuccino
Decided to try it out recently and it is so good! If you don’t like coffee taste much, you will love this! The chocolate at the bottom makes it all the better.
  
Jewelry
I went to Forever 21 recently and they have a lot of cute simply necklaces for super cheap so I got 3 necklaces. I might go back and get some more because jewelry sometimes makes my trash self look a little more put together haha.
  

  

   
Water
Now you’re probably gonna be like, Sarah…. But GUYS. My water intake this month has increased tremendously and I have seen a difference in my skin and others have as well. I know everyone knows that water is good for you, but I am telling you, IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE. Skip soda (it’s soda, not pop!! @ everyone in the north) and alcohol… drink water instead!

xoxo,
sarah

New York City Guide: Taylor Swift Edition (With the walking path attached!)

-
Image
So my fiancé and I went to NYC during the weekend of the 1989 (Taylor's Version) release, so I thought it was only appropriate to plan a Taylor Swift-themed tour especially since 1989 has been referred to as the New York City album. Am I crazy? Yes. But was it fun? YES!!! I thought I could share our tour with you guys, if any Swifties ever want to do the same. And if you're going with a significant other who doesn't like Taylor Swift related activities, just lie and say you're going to some cool new spots to check out. I may or may not have done that. He may or may not have found out during the tour but it was too late to back out. Hehe 🙈 This is a walking guide and I made sure all the places were easy to navigate. I have two brain cells when it comes to directions, so if I can do it, you guys can do it too! 55 Franklin Street, New York, NY 10013 Significance: TS lived in the top floor condo. We started our tour in Tribeca. Super empty street, which makes sense why she

Olly Undeniable Beauty HSN Vitamin Review (with before and after photos!)

I have always had pretty clear skin. If I ever had breakouts, which was more frequent in college, I was able to eventually pinpoint what exactly caused it, and it would usually be linked to stress or a certain food. And it was usually like 2-3 breakouts, so nothing like super crazy. The breakout would happen, I would freak out for a second (probably post a snapchat about it 🙊), and then my skin would go back to normal. But in the past 5ish months, my skin has changed. The breakouts have been more regular and my skin isn't as smooth as it used to be. I have been trying to figure out why because there hasn't been any significant change in the products I use or the food I eat. Like I was going to post an updated skin care routine and then my skin went crazy and I scrapped the idea (for now) . But I was open to using some kind of supplement that would help improve my skin and hair.  Well, mostly my skin, but I wasn't opposed to hair growth. The vitamins I originally want

Easy 70s Halloween Costume

-
Image
We made a girls trip to New Orleans and wanted to dress up for Halloween while we were there! But we didn't want to do anything super crazy or expensive, so we decided to go as hippies/70s girls. Or how most people will call it.... #BASIC. Where we got our stuff: Tie-dye shirts - Me and my friend Brandee went to Hobby Lobby and bought t-shirts and Tulip brand Tie Dye. Literally everything we bought was on sale and cheap, so highly suggest going to Hobby Lobby if you decide to make t-shirts! They also have 40% coupons on their website which works on pretty much anything that doesn't already have a discount. Glasses, Necklaces, Headbands - Ordered a set of four glasses, necklaces, and headbands from Amazon for $14.99 How we made the t-shirts: I might make a separate blog post on this because there are different ways to get the perfect tie-dye look and I'm still curious to find out how to get perfection because ours weren't perfect (close to perfect,
