Seasonal

Don't you hate it when your favorite fruits aren't in season? It can't just be me. It's fall going on winter and of course there aren't many fruit options to choose from, but here are two that are in season and have taken me thus far through these chilly mornings.

Pomegranates, yum!

Persimmons, not to be mistaken for the tomato!

Fading into the crowd

I've been in college (uni) for about a month now. I've realized the cliques and groupings there are amongst the students that go here. Now a lot of the time it's by race, styles, and just of people who have known each other for a long time. Being that it only has been a month I could understand why people haven't made it there point to branch put from everyone else. Everyone seems the same. The hipsters look like the other hipsters. The "ghettos" look like the other "ghettos". The foreigners, well they look like foreigners. I'm trying my best to look different from the rest of everyone else here. I have not noticed that anyone gave the street style look a try here. That is why street style specifically in European and Asian countries have been my ultimate way of going. If we aren't trying to look different, then we'll just blend in with everyone else and that's no fun.

Ps just spotted a boy with overalls, and that hasn't been spotted yet. YOU GO BOY! (Indirect approval) lol

Football Season Is Among Us!

Football season is almost here everyone, so I think it's time for a football themed post! Im not going to lie I'm not the biggest fan of football but my brother is, so I had to dedicate this one to him. Here is he and my niece matching each other wearing RGIII Redskins jerseys. I hope you enjoy how cute this is as much as I did! Click on the pictures to go through the pictures easier. :)

10 Things you didn't know about Mascara

Someone has been keeping a Secret from us! Here are some helpful tips you should know about mascara.

1. Mascara doesn't last forever! It expires after 3-5 months of purchase. So make sure to get rid of it to reduce the chances of getting a bacterial infection. Now that doesn't very sound pleasant at all.

2. Keep your wand! Although you should be throwing away the old mascara, the wand can be used as a spoolie to brush your eyebrows. What I do is I use it as a base to elongate my lashes first and then I use it once more after I have applied mascara in order to get rid of clumps.

3. Take it off. I know after a long day you might tend to forget to take your makeup off or you just don't feel like getting up to do so. I assure you that removing the mascara is crucial because it dries overnight which causes lashes to fall off.

4. Voluminous lashes? We all want that full lash look, want to know a secret? powder your lashes-using baby powder and a cotton swab- before application for an extra umf.

5. Moisture is KEY! It's easy to forget that our lashes need some loving too, and they should be taken care of just as much as the hair on your head. So before bed, moisturize your lashes with olive oil or any moisturizer to keep them hydrated. Just be careful to keep anything out of your eyes.

6. Not every day is a Water Proof day. Water proof Mascara is crucial for those tearful moments but using it every day is NOT advised! Water proof mascara is designed to be difficult to take off so constantly tugging at your lashes can make them weaker and eventually fall off.

7. Keep your eyes open. This is a pretty well known fact but if you don't know here it goes. The key is to try not to blink during application because it'll ruin your mascara. Keep your mouth wide open, that way it's a bit harder to blink.

8. No more smudging! Hate getting mascara on your eyelids? I know I do. Avoid them by placing an old business card or plastic spoon on your eyelid, right above your lashes. Apply your mascara in this position, and any excess product will go onto the business card or spoon, not your eyelid.

9.Seal The Deal. To add a finishing touch to your mascara. Coat your lashes with clear mascara after application. This will help to solidify your lashes and protect the mascara from smudging or running.

10. Have you found the one? There are so many different types of mascara with different functions. You have to find which is right for you. It's kind of like dating, you have to go through trial and error to finally get to the good stuff. Do you need to lengthen? curl? give volume? Whatever it is you need, there’s a mascara out there waiting for you. If you can't find it, try mixing different mascaras together to result in you perfect looking lashes.

Trench, Neutral and BOLD

Trench Coats are literally the best thing, they're so simple but make such a great statement piece. These two outfits pretty much sum up the general clothing items I've been wearing when i'm going anywhere that requires me to look "presentable". As you can tell I couldn't choose between shoes so i chose ones that I thought could be appropriate for the attire no matter where you're actually going. Shoes really speak for themselves and complete an outfit that's why i like to choose fairly simple clothing items and bolder shoes. Also keep it simple with jewelry if the outfit has any type of pattern, if it is a solid color then it would be better to go for a bolder jewelry piece!

Tip: Watch out for the sizes of jewelry and Neutral clothing items (nothing too crazy) and a bold shoe!
