Photo #1 -- As you can see, I am not smiling in the photo....I accidently had the Covergirl waterproof mascara...great!!! I never use waterproof, and using this particular mascara, I see why.  Not only did I not like the way how my eyelashes looked, it took me literally forever to get all the mascara off. 

Photo #2 -- MY SHOES ARE HERE!!!! I got these bad boys for Christmas.  I love them love them love them!!! Great customer service, great quality!!!

Photo #3 -- First day of school look -- Scarf: Christmas gift -- Trench Coat -- Shirt: Forever21 -- Jeans: Forever21 -- Shoes: Forever21 -- Makeup: Natural

Photo #4 -- Headed back home on Caltrain, that shot was in San Mateo

Update -- So I started my first week of school and it went amazing!!! All of my classes are hands on, so I have a great feeling that it is going to be a great semester! Twenty-one units, an internship and two jobs....it's grind time!!! Have a great weekend everyone!

Christmas Gift: ACDC t-shirt & black jeggings

Random photo at my favorite grocery store Whole Foods :)

Christmas Gift: Chocolate stick to make hot chocolate yum yum yum!

Christmas gift: Body Shop -- Tangerine

Like I said in my last post, slowly but surely, I will post all my gifts up for you beautiful readers to see.  Here are some of my Christmas gifts that I used today :) I adore my new raincoat!!!! I have received so many compliments on it! I was in dire need of a light neutral coat since I'm so drawn to black, but this particular style is great with leggings and a sweater and works fabulous with a dress. I received a lot of shirts and sweaters for Christmas, but I will always be a t-shirts girl. Whenever I'm out running errands, I love being comfortable. I did my grocery shopping at Whole foods and threw on this ACDC shirt with my black jeggings and cheetah boots (& my gray sweater).  Next photo, my chocolate sticks! I'm not so much of a hot chocolate girl, but the dark chocolate sticks are super yummy and not overly sweet.  But!!! What is sweet is my Body shop lotion and show gel yum yum yum!!! I LOVE their body butter!!! A little goes a long way and all of their scents are so delicious!!! Now the best for last....my NYE skirt :) I had left over fabric and my grandmother decided to create this fun skirt for me.  I'm not sure what type of top I'm going to wear, but I will definitely have pictures up with the final piece.  Well I hope you all are doing great!!! I really hope it rains today :)

Buys and Books

Here are a few of the items I bought on Black Friday. I honestly could have slept in and gone in the daytime to buy most of the items I purchased,  but pulling an all nighter was thrilling :) I am obsessed with my sweaters...I'm wearing one right now hehe. But let me go into the face products. Ever since moving to the San Francisco area, my face has been EXTREMELY dry...I feel like a lizard, mind you I have oily skin, so having dry skin is a shock to me and frustrating because I now have to experiment with products.  I ended up buying this new face moisturizer and it works like a gem! Next is foundation.....I always was against foundation. This is my first time in my life wearing it since I always wore loose mineral powder.  But this brand is super light and doesn't clog my pores.  When I wear this foundation, I do not, I repeat, DO NOT put powder or anything else over it!!! I don't like the cakey look and I love looking natural as possible.  But using this foundation also helps my face to maintain the moisture and doesn't make me appear flaky like I have been :( Mascara now :) It was $4.99 and I always had good result with this brand so I had to get it! But done with the girly talk, school talk now! I am ALMOST DONE!!!! Just a few more projects and I can finally let loose for winter break!!! So heads up, if I don't blog as much, you know why, olive is keeping her head in the books! But got to go to class my dears!!! MWAH!
