White Wednesday Winter Wishlist

Hello there!

Like what I did with the title there? I'm so clever... Well I started online shopping, like I tend to do... and noticed that an increasingly large number of the items I was picking out were all white hence today's white theme... enjoy!

Forever 21 $23

The whole purpose of my shopping adventure was to find a nice dress for Thanksgiving and my favorite has been this lovely white lace dress with a subtle black underlay. The fit and flare nature is absolutely perfect and although I normally wouldn't wear white on an occasion so likely to spill, this dress is the exception

 

Forever 21 $23

In my sweater-loving nature I of course fell in love with this adorable open knit sweater

 

Forever 21 $28

And of course a Christmas sweater for those of us who LOVE the special holiday, it's my favorite thing. EVER. So yeah, I'm obsessed

My Beauty Travel Essentials

Hello there!

 

So with my weekend traveling I thought I would share all of the products I absolutely cannot live without, whether I'm going camping, on a road trip, or on a plane.

 

1. Normal Essentials

Boring...

2. Contacts and Storage

I wear my contacts every single day as I rather enjoy my eyesight. So every time I leave even if only for a weekend I grab my contacts case and solution.

3. Makeup

I know there are people who don't bring makeup on vacation but I am weak... In Palm Springs we usually go to a fancy restaurant so I always grab enough makeup for at least 1 nice look. However, I try to be a light packer so I just pack one of everything along with my wonderful brushes and some makeup remover wipes for those nights where I get back exhausted.

 

My awesome new makeup bag, perfect for the travel-loving girl

5 Reasons I Love Ombré Hair

Hello there!

 

I dyed my hair ombré a few weeks ago, the normal brown to blonde, and I am absolutely in love with it. So today I thought I would tell you 5 reasons why

 

1. I have 3 different colors in my hair

 

To me this is so cool like my hair is several tones. It looks so interesting in fishtail braids and mostly any other hairstyle. I think it's quite unique (even though everyone is doing it now) and my indecisiveness agrees with being able to choose 3 different things rather than 1.

 

2. I can finally pull off blonde

 

If I had lighter skin I'm sure I might be able to pull off a full head of blonde hair but with my olive skin, I know that is never an option. But having blonde ends gives me the fun color without having it contrast with my darker skin color and look weird (at least I hope).

3. Blondie without root damage

 

When I got blonde highlights years ago, my entire head of hair got damaged and I was so sad because my curls still have the blonde damage from them about halfway down my mane. But when I got this done I was specific about my wonderful stylist not bleaching any farther up than the previous damage so my roots are still looking healthy and the only thing that's damaged is what already was.

 

4. Easy maintenance

 

Current wet hair situation

The only thing I have to do with blonde is use color shampoo and since I wouldn't let them cut as far up as I should have with my dead ends I have to use a moisturizer. But to me this is so easy, with all of the random skin, hair, and beauty products stock piled in my bathroom, using an different shampoo is easy as pie.

 

5. It doesn't grow out

 

This has to be my favorite, because my roots are still my natural color, I won't get that embarrassing root grow in. The blonde will just slowly start moving down and when I need a trim I just go get more blonde put on and life is good.

 

So that's 5 reasons why I love my current hair color and this wasn't like me convincing you, just wanted to talk about it for a minute since I've been loving it so much, hope you enjoyed!

Have a Wonderful Day!
