Below are 10 random questions about myself. I think it helps to give a little bit more insight in to who I am as a person. 1. If you had to describe yourself in 5 words, what would they be?
5 words to describe me would be: Loyal Passionate Honest Vivacious Empathetic 2. If you weren't working in the job you have now, what would you do? I work in PR right now, but I think I would probably be a dance teacher or an actress. 3. What is on your bucket list? The biggest thing on my bucket list is to go visit Egypt and Greece. For some reason, I have something pulling me there, but I am not sure when I would be able to go. There are other things on my bucket list like get married, live in England, and travel the world. 4. If you could change something in the world, what would it be? I would love to change people's acceptance of others. I think this has been the issue for many wars, fighting religions, fighting cultures, racisim, sexism and the list goes on. I think if we all learned to accept others then there would be more peace on this Earth. Learning about someone's culture or religion doesn't mean you have to agree with it, but just respect it. I just wish we could understand each other better. I would also like to change the way people look at the climate and the environment. I don't think people pay enough attention to how much we are destroying the world we live in. If people could just open their eyes a little bit more, I think they would be shocked to learn how much we have already destroyed. 5. What makes you wildly happy? This was a tough one for me because a lot of things make me happy. I think a great meal makes me wildly happy. Being around my family and friends makes me wildly happy. Traveling the world makes me wildly happy. I believe we chose whether or not we are happy and I have chosen to surround myself with people and things that make me happy on a daily basis. 6. What are your top 5 favorite books of all time? If there is one thing to know about me, it is that I am the BIGGEST book worm. My friend Farrah told me, one of the first sentences I ever said to her were, "I love to read. I read all the time." This was hard to answer, but my top 5 are: A Man Called Ove Niagra Falls All Over Again All The Light We Cannot See Harry Potter Series The Queen's Lover 7. If you were an animal, what would you be? I think I would be a dolphin or an elephant. 8. If you could travel back in time, what timeframe would you visit and why? There are two. The first is in the 50's so I could be surrounded by all the amazing stars like Marilyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra. I think even though it was a tough time for women, there were so many inspirational people who I would have loved to meet. The second time frame would be in the early to late 1700's in France because it was such a historical moment for the entire world with the U.S. breaking free. I also would like to have met Marie Antionette because I am truly OBSESSED with her. 9. What is the most valuable life lesson you've ever learned? To live in the moment. It is so cliche, but it is true. Things will fly right by you and big trips or events will be over in a second if you don't take some time to make a mental note. 10. If you could get drinks with anyone, who would it be? I would love to get drinks with Michelle Obama. I think she is someone who is an inspiration and I would love to hear her stories about her life.

I was a very lucky teen because I never had to worry about acne. Of course, I would have the breakout here and there, but overall, I didn't have problems with it. This, I believe, is because I swam my entire life. The clorine probably killed off any and all bacteria that would have been on my face. This also made my skin extremely dry, but I will take dry skin over acne any day. Well the day came, when I was no longer swimming. Which changed my skin dramatically. I was starting to have more and more breakouts which I had no knowledge of how to fix. So I began to wash my face. I didn't even know what products to use or what did what. As I have gotten older, I have taken an interest in learning about makeup and skin products. I want to know what I am using or ingredients in a product before I spend money on it. Taking care of my skin was a resolution I had last year and below I have included some products I will be continuing to use in to 2017. Thanks to my beautiful friend Erin, she got me hooked (which has now gotten my whole family hooked) on to Lush products. If you don't know about Lush, well you need to go Google them right now. They are beautiful products that are all organic. So much so that you can eat everything in the store! (not sure you really want to.) My first must have item is the Ocean Salt Face and Body Scrub. This stuff is NO joke! You will feel every single layer of your face coming off when you exfoliate with this. I try to only use this once every other week since it is so intense. Your skin will be thanking you after! Another life changing Lush product is the Rose Shower Gel. This is a basic shower gel except for the scent. It is a light rose smell that you get wiffs of throughout the day without being too overpowering. Whenever I use this, I always feel like I am having a day at the spa. I have been a believer and lover of GlamGlow since the first time I used one of the travel masks. I have their exfoliator and deep clean masks which are both must haves. But I got the daily facial cleanser in a package when I bought something else from them. I am not sure how much this mask actually does to change my skin, but HOLY MOLY! My skin feels SO soft after. It is seriously unbelievable. If I use the Lush Ocean Salt scrub and then use the cleanser after. I feel like I have been at a luxury spa all day. Now I get picked on all the time for this one, but I use anti-wrinkle creams at night. I read a study that women who live in urban areas are more likely to wrinkling at a younger age than those who don't. This of course scared me beyond belief. Even if this doesn't actually stop wrinkles, I wake up with skin that is hydrated and looks radiant. Let me know your favorite beauty products of 2016 so I can try them in 2017!! I love a great pattern, but sometimes the basics can make an outfit look chic and polished. This dress is from TopShop and is able to be dressed up or down depending on where I am going. It is stretchy enough for when I eat a large meal, but also keeps its form. The "coat" isn't technically a coat since it is extremely lightweight. Even though it isn't thick, I love it for layering and gives outfits an added bonus.
The choker trend is one that I am still not totally sure about. I didn't want to wear a statement necklace with this outfit so I thought a choker would work better. I am going to try and incorporate chokers more into my outfits from here on out because I thought it pulled together this look. Remember, no matter what trend is in style, wear it only if you enjoy it. Don't just wear something because every other person is wearing it. Only get it if you truly love it and will wear it. |
