My Birthday

Hello guys! 

Yesterday, November 29th of 2013 I turned 22 years old!

Brandon has treated me out and we spent such great quality time with each other recently!

On my birthday Brandon took me out to watch Catching Fire at the theaters!

Oddly enough on my birthday it was Black Friday, sales all over stores after Thanksgiving; many people were at the theaters, and many were watching Catching Fire as well.

It was such a great movie, I don't know why some people did not enjoy it! But I'm very excited to watching Mockingjay!!

Let me know if you guys have already watching Catching Fire and what your thoughts on the movie were!

Anywho, after the movies we went to eat at Rudy's Gourmet Pizza. It was my first time eating at that restaurant, Rudy, the owner is Brandon's neighbor!! Cool huh?

The pizza was delicious!! Later, we just hung out at his house, watched movies, and talked :)

It was a great birthday and I'm so grateful and thankful!

Here down below is a vlog of my Thanksgiving as well as my birthday!

After watching that vlog, below are pictures of our date day on my birthday. I didn't take any pictures during the movies, before or after sadly, but at least I have some of our dinner!!

Thanksgiving

Hello guys I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving because I know I sure did! I spent time at Brandon's grandma's house with his family. It was so cozy and nice. Everyone was together and we all had a good time. My parents went to church and had a potluck there, but I don't go to church with them. Normally, my family hosts Thanksgiving at my house, but with everyone doing things separately and money issues and family issues we don't really do holidays together as much as we use to. I'm very thankful for the food and the company and many other things as well.  Here is a video that I uploaded on YouTube of a Get Ready With Me: Holiday Edition video where I get ready for the holidays!!  Here is a video down below of a summary of my Thanksgiving as well as my birthday the next day! :) Birthdays are not the same anymore but I was glad I spent time with Brandon and his family as well as to relax before finals in college.

Then here are pictures of the food as well as pictures that were taken in the day of Thanksgiving :) I hope you guys enjoy! Did you guys have a great Thanksgiving and stuff your face in delicious food like me?! :D Send me pictures and comment down below how your Thanksgiving went!

Lunch Date

Hello friends!

Today Brandon took me to lunch at Red Robins :)

It was so cute! It is my birthday week and he wanted originally to take me out to a sandwich food cart at Cartlandia but unfortunately it was closed until November 30th so we wandered around and had to brainstorm what we were hungry and craving for besides sandwiches; Which was burgers!

The customer service there today was suprisingly very great compared to many other visits at restaurants. He was persistent, asked us how our food was, refilled our drinks and asked us if we wanted boxes. He was a great waiter!

The restaurant was also surprisingly very busy during lunch hours on a weekday, the day before Thanksgiving. I was assuming people got their Thanksgiving break and time off early and spent time eating out with friends and family before the big day!

Anywho, here are our pictures :)

P.S. Sorry I'm not in the VLOG and the pictures, I didn't have any makeup on and I was not feeling so confident about my skin.

Here are Cinnamon Almonds that my boyfriend, Brandon bought me for my Part 1 of my birthday coming up on the 29th. These are the BEST I've ever tasted! The vendor that I bought this from is called: 

Moondrops Bavarian Roasted Nuts.

Here is my boyfriend, Brandon. We have been dating since January 30th of 2012 and have known each other since Kindergarten. Although we were not the best of friends, we kept in contact with each other here and there. He has always, majority of our lives lived a block away from me, so it is very convenient to see each other :)

Up above are the gyros that his parents bought us from Angelina's Greek Cuizina, which they are opening up their very first restaurant very very soon instead of having a vendor tent!

Happy Tuesday!

First Impression of Maybelline Babylips

 Maybelline Babylips for $3.99 each with 4.4g/0.15oz

I have Peach Kiss and Yummy Plummy.

Both smell so delicious and are pretty natural looking sheer lip colors. 

Claims to moisture your lips for 8 hours, which I believe only last for about 4 hours. Very moisturizing and soften my lips. The Peach Kiss has Aloe Leaf Extract and Vitamin E and the Yummy Plummy has just Vitamin E.

Review for both will be up in a few weeks.
Let me know how you guys like the Babylips!

First Impression of CoverGirl LashBlast Clump Crusher

The new CoverGirl LashBlast line came out with the Clump Crusher which is the green tube and you can find this at most or all drugstores now! 

I purchased mine at Walgreens for $8.99 .44 fl oz in Very Black.

Claims to give you 200% more volume and 0 clumps of course Clump Crusher!

The curve brush features a lash loading section to saturate lashes with loads of product and fine-tooth comb bristles to evenly distribute mascara.

My first impression of this product when I tried it on my bare lashes were... IT IS AWESOME! It gave me so much volume and there was no clumps! Suprise suprise! It looks natural, no spider looking lashes, coated evenly and some length but overall really am loving this mascara so far!
Review will be in in a few weeks!
