New Blush!

As you guys know, I absolutely LOVE my MAC blush in Desert Rose. However, recently I found a blush that is basically equal to my amazing MAC blush. It is the Maybelline Dream Mousse blush in number 40, soft plum. This blush is really pigmented and you only need a very little to get a nice flush, however, if you want to make it a little more intense, you can do so by applying more. No matter how much you apply, it never gets cakey or heavy on your skin. I love it! The one downside is that the color I got is a bit shimmery, but you can't tell too much. I really like this blush and I highly recommend it! I'll probably go out and buy more of it!!

If you click on the picture, it will be much larger and you can get a better look at them. I tried to make the lighting work so that they colors show up as accurately as possible!

Blog Haul?

So I have gotten loads of requests to do more hauls on my youtube channel and I'd love to, but I often don't buy much at once. The hauls that I do post are either collective or it was a once in a while type of shopping spree things. However, I do buy things that go not unnoticed by you guys, but just not mentioned in a video. I was wondering if you guys would like me to post blog hauls where I'd take a picture of what I bought and a quick description about it and how I like it so far. This would be for times when I did not buy a whole lot - maybe one or two items - but I wanted to share anyways. Let me know in the comments below!!

Long Time No See!

Hey you guys! I am so sorry, I have not been on my blog for AGES! I miss it! I definitely want to start using it again. I am not quite sure how, but I'll figure it out! Haha. I think I will do shorter reviews on my blog (things I don't want to make ENTIRE videos about). I am excited!

Death on a Friday

Today has been a really hard day. My best friend's grandfather passed away today and my neighbor's father passed away today. Death just seems to be surrounding me...it is quite scary and just really depressing. I know that people die every minute, but the fact that two people from families that I am really close with died today is just horrible. I thank God every day for giving me my life and my family and friends. I think him for getting me to where I am today and keeping me safe, healthy and happy. Now, more than ever, am I thankful for what I have. I mean my neighbor's father just died suddenly. He was only a few years older than my mom. My grandmother (who I never met) died when she was only a few years older than how old my mom is. This is a hard time and I don't mean to get all religious on you because personally I am not very religious but really, be thankful for what you have! Tell your friends and family that you love them and resolve any petty fights or arguments that are happening, because you honestly don't know if they will make it to the next day. I know that that was really depressing, but it's part of life and it is something we will all have to deal with. I'll talk to you guys soon!

Time to Learn...

As you probably know, I am sort of home schooled. I take all my classes online, yes even AP classes. I actually get a lot of questions about my classes.

FAQ:

Are they hard?
Yeah they are difficult!! I have 4 AP classes...that's hard.

Do you get to wake up whenever you want to?
Yes and no. Yes, technically I can wake up whenever I feel like, but I also can't. I have a lot of work to do so I try to force myself to wake up by 7.

How long does it take you each day?
Well I can work as much or as little as I want every day, but I try to work for about 8-10 hours a day.

Is it fun?
Yeah I love it. It's lots of fun and much better than normal school for me...

Do you miss seeing your friends?
Of course I miss seeing my friends, but I see them on the weekend!

So that's all about my school. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask in the comments below! Thanks!!

Peace!
