SPRING/SUMMER H♡UL

So here is a haul of items that I wanted to break out and or purchased for spring/summer. This was all accumulated over time so don't assume I bought it all at once but without further adieu here all some items I bought with a few personal experiences with them.



So the first three items are bodysuits and ever since I bought my first bodysuit in december I have fallen in love with them all ! The green and black bodysuit are from american apparel and fit me like a gem , they're true to size so don't worry about having to go up or down a size for it to fit. The cat bodysuit was brought from lazyoaf and is so darn adorable. It also features a black cat tail on the back which I forgot to photograph but it's so cute , form fitting and can be dressed up or down. Also heads up if you want the green bodysuit from american apparel buy it quickly before they run out because they're on low stock and probably won't make them in that color anymore.



The net three items are all from american apparel and two were actually gifts. The romper was bought on black friday but I never wore it intill tonight because I was so self conscious about wearing it. However I got a lot of positive feedback from a party i attended last night and it's so cozy and you can dress it up with a nice belt and shoes to make it the perfect outfit. The next is a cat print chiffon top and a teal colored peter pan collared shirt which were both gifts because they didn't fit my friends anymore.



The last three items feature a floral top with black lace on the back that was given by a friend perfect for spring or sumer really. Then we have these adorable striped pants from american apparel that have a side zip at the ankle and are really perfect for summer (in my opinion). Then last but not least the tap shorts from american apparel and they're are just the coziest things ever. I got them in a khaki color and the have this side button and zip that just makes it more cute.



So that's all for now and i hope you enjoyed the haul and please follow me for more post!

Current Makeup Routine ♡


So hey guys i know it's been a while since I've made a post but here's the thing. When I make a blogspot post I don't want to put just anything up , I want it to be personal. I want it to be perfect , helpful and something I actually want to discuss. Anyways on with the post and today's little post is about all the current makeup I use. I get a lot of questions asking what I use for my face since I've stopped using foundation and what I use for brows etc.







This picture contains everything i use on a daily basis and new beauty product which is blush.

  • I use Mineral Effects Tinted Moisturizer which has very natural finish and is very sheer so it's only useful if you don't have so many pimples and minor scarring due to acne like I do. Also not only does it give my skin a very even skin tone but it does not  break out my sensitive skin which is a huge plus.
  • I then use Revlon Colorstay Concealer which works wonders for my dark circles. 
  • Then I use Milani's Baked Blush which give my skin this nice and healthy glow and stays pigmented for quite sometime.
  • For my brows I use Anastasia's brow wiz in ebony which makes them look so full , nice and very natural looking ! Also they do not come off easily... so say if you were to scratch your eyebrow or wipe it by accident it won't smudge or come off.
  • Then to finish it off I use some cheap drugstore eyelash curler and then two coats of Set Mascara in jetblack and my lashes look so long and voluminous . I do not regret buying this and this is like my holy grail for eyelashes. 

And even though it is not shown above on some occasions I will use Wet 'n' Wild liquid eyeliner.



So that is my updated makeup routine i hope you found it helpful and fun. I promise to return to posting every week on here.

Spirit Hood Review







Hello again everyone and if you can tell by the title this a spirit hood review! I decided to do this review because numerous people ask why do I wear my spirit hood , where can they get one , and are they actually warm.. etc. So to begin I was contemplating on getting my spirit hood from the original online store here but they were so expensive however when I started my job ay costume world they actually had a variety of them hanging around the shop for only $50 bucks! So I quickly grabbed the one that I frequently wear in my photos and fell in love with it. Funny enough I've worn it out and paired with outfits that I actually like. Furthermore these hoods are super warm, cozy and are made up of faux fur! Spirit Hoods are made out of 100% polyester, 100% satin Polyester.

Move along I must warn you these hoods tend to shed quite a bit but when you stroke the fur but they do not show signs of patchy fur. Also when cleaning you’re hood it is recommend hand washing your hood in cold water and air-drying. It is not recommend using detergent or putting your hood in the dryer!
I have found these hood too be super manageable, very stylish and fun to have so I recommend anyone seeking to buy a spirit hood t get one because they’re worth especially around winter

Sorry for the Hiatus ♡

I really want to apologize for the recent hiatus from my blogspot lately and I want to take this opprutuinty to infrom you what has been going on in my life that has caused me to drift from my blogspot for so long.
So I recently just started my spring semester at community college and like a dummy i chose classes from Monday-Thursday that will end in april. These classes have caused me to study more and stray away from the internt which sucks. Not only was I getting a new start from school but I quit my job at the costume store and got a new job at forever 21. Forever 21 is a fun environment that requires a lot of hours , which I don't mind , I actually love it because I am planning to move out come summer time with my friend Lia ♡



Also I have been trying to squeeze in my social life with my now more hetic academic/work life !
So here are a few pictures of what I have been up to during the month of late february and the rest of march

During February my new friend Tea came down to Florida and conveniently the italian festival was in town so here is what happened.



Not only was tea there but a few other friend had joined us.



Then a few days later we went to mall for some retail therapy.


Then late february was my baby Ariana's birthday and we had a house party for her.




Then we rounded up all the ladies and went to miami the next day!



Then I decided to dye my hair 50 shades of brown and I liked it for like 3 weeks and quickly dyed it back black but it was nice while it lasted.




Then came spring break fro me and I got to see two close friends that I had not seen in a while for thrifting and home videos.









Then I went to this abandoned boat stadium in Miami with amazing graffiti art everywhere with some more close friends ! The weather was so lovely and we also went to bayside for more views and food


Then a lovely surprise occurred which was my old high school friend that had moved to New York came down and visited me at work and we go to catch up (please excuse my hair getting messed up by the wind and looking ratchet)




Also I've been able to hang out more with my friend leslie and this day we had went thrifting and got lunch together.






Then last saturday I went to a venue for a few local bands that put on an amazing show but unfortunately I only took a picture of one of the bands which was The Dead Legs who you can check out here !




Then I got to see my sista from anotha mista today , who i havent seen in like months , it made me so happy because she like fully understands me ! She is seriously the bee's knee's and I always enjoy out hang outs.




So that is how my life has been going and what I have been up to lately. Thank you for reading and don't forget to follow me please

♡ Music of the Week ♡








So I always get asked what music I listen to and to be honest I have a wide range of intrest when it comes to music. So every two weeks I want to update my blogspot with music that I really appreciate or even a music spotlight on a certain artist or band. In this post I will talk about one or two songs I really adore from Lana Del Rey , Azealia Banks , Chad Valley and Marina and the Diamonds.

Lana Del Rey♥ 

So I am a huge Lana Del Rey fan and her new album "Paradise" is simply perfection ! But to slim it down the two songs that really stick out to me are Burning desire and Body Electric. They both have such a sensual and sultry melody that I can listen to all day. Plus I don't know if it's just me but Lana always gives me this since of nostalgia when I listen to her.

♥ Azealia Banks 

Azealia Banks is one of the baddest bitches that can spit some real game when it comes to rapping.This is just a single that Azealia released called BBD and it is just vicious ! I love his song because it has such sassy attitude follow by an amazing trap beat that simply makes me want to dance.

 ♥ Chad Valley ♥ 

I recently went to go see Warm Bodies and one particular scene stood out to me because of the musical choice for it. The song was provided by the lovely Chad valley and the song is called Shell Suite. This song is so calming , the vocal are simply divine and his voice just makes me melt. It is so romantic and makes me smile all the time and i love listrening to when ever feel bummy , everyone should really check it out.


♥ Marina and the Diamonds ♥ 

Marina is an amazing artist with music that releases your inner primadonna and I've been around since the family jewel days. I had a hard time just picking two songs because the entire album is so amazing however since I had to pick two I choose How to Be a Heartbreaker and Bubblegum Bitch. How to be a heartbreaker is so catchy and is I think more than anything this song is cleverly done. It showcases Marina's opinion on society between both sexes, she portrays her message very loud and clear, with a catchy hook and a great video. Moving on bubblegum bitch is such a bitchy pop song that I can simply hum and rehearse every lyric too.
I’ll chew you up and I’ll spit you out
Cause that’s what young love is all about.
So pull me closer, and kiss me hard
I’m gonna pop your bubblegum heart

It's witty , sassy, and perfect in every way ♡



Hope you enjoyed my first "music of the week post".
