Valentines Day Treat Under $10 ♡

Single or Taken this Valentine's Day? Why not treat yourself either way!

I woke up this morning to some snowy weather, which is great for me because I don't know about you guys but our weather has been anything but normal. I guess this global warming they've been talking about is coming true. Winter for us is snow from January-March and below 30 degrees. For the past few weeks it has been sunny and around 40-50 degrees (which I won't complain) but I miss the snow.

So this morning when I woke up I not only had an urge to stay home and cuddle but I had a bigger urge to make cupcakes! I went to the store picked up everything I needed all Under $9 :) I made about 24 cupcakes 

Chocolate and Confetti

Duncan Hines Confetti & Devil Food Cake- $0.94 / per box

Baking Cups- $1.47

Valentine Sprinkles- $1.88

Pillsbury Vanilla Frosting/Icing- $1.50

For Confetti Cupcakes you will need
1) 1/2 Cup of Water
2) 4 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
3) 2 Large Eggs
4) Frosting (Optional)
5) Sprinkles (Optional)
6) Cupcake Baking Pan (duh :) )

Travelers? I need help :)

So, after different ideas I'm excited that me and my best friend choose a place we can go soon while we save money for a Eurotrip in a year or two. Right now the place is Chicago :)
Now the last time I was there was probably in 8th grade and we went together actually for a choir trip so not much we could really do on our own. Now that we know the place I thought I would bring it here to ask any of my followers who have been to Chicago, what are the best places to go?

The good news is that we live in Michigan its about 4 or 5 hours away so no need to take a plane or anything but  It would help to know where the best spots are :)


Also I hope you ladies had a wonderful week. Just had and exam and have about two more next week so aside from this all I'm doing is studying!

Short Hair, Don't Care ♡

I got my hair cut and colored on an impulse yesterday when I went with my mother to get hers done. When we saw a girl with this cute hair my mom offered to pay for it, if and only if I get it cut. I cannot explain how much hair is gone but it is definitely a difference. The best part is all of my failed hair cuts and failed colored damaged hair is now gone. I also picked up a dry shampoo by KMS called Hair Play that I can't wait to try! 

Anyways, here's the short hair :)

Matte About You ♡

I was out with my friend after work and we decided to go out to dinner. In between our talks of the holidays I brought up how much I wanted the new OPI Nicki Minaj Collection but I couldn't find it anywhere. She told me how beauty first had them the other day so once our dinner was over we went straight over there and I purchased Pink Friday ($8.50) and Metallic 4 Life ($8.50). After looking around I also noticed they had Essie's Matte About You for $2 (Priced $5-8)  :O 

I purchased all three and for the past week I've been wearing Pink Friday. I've gotten so many compliments on it but personally I expected it to be a little bit more of an hot pink. Once I put it on though, I fell in love! 

I have not had the chance to wear all three (or get my nails done so I apologize for the horrible cuticles) so I used my nail palettes to show them off :)

Belated New Year ♡

So I have been a horrible blogger...I have not blogged my entire winter break, but a lot has happened since Christmas and New Year. Let me start off by saying HAPPY NEW YEAR! :) I had an amazing 2011 with my study abroad trip to Italy and a lot of the people I met the past year. I have been working the whole holiday season and I have to say I have never dealt with so many rude people. I almost wanted to quit my job because people are CRAZY! But there were definitely a lot of customers that made me realize how much I loved what I do. I'm just happy it's over!

I normally don't like going into personal details on sites like these but I can't help myself. About a year ago I met this guy on Twitter (I know, I'm embarrassed to admit it) but we just started out talking crap to each other and he pretty much became my best friend. We would message each other everyday for the next 6 months and even when I went to Italy I managed to stay in contact with him. I started realizing how much I liked him because he literally acted like me, but the fact he lived over 2000 miles away it never seemed realistic. Before I knew it we slowly made it apparent how we felt and our messages turned into Skype dates and finally texting. He came to visit me the past few days and he left this morning and I can honestly say I miss him so much. Its crazy because he is everything I could have ever asked in a guy, but the distance just kills me. Well I guess we are going to see where it takes us, I'm just going to put it in gods hands and hope for the best.

Anyways I picked up a few goodies in between working and my love life so I will be posting details soon. School starts again tomorrow I'm hoping for a great semester.

How were your holidays? ♡

Favorite Nail Polishes ♡

So I know I mentioned finals are around the corner and that I wouldn't be posting much, but who am I kidding? Although I don't have a huge follower number or as many comments I love blogging! So I decided to do something a little different.

I have so many favorites that I seem to never mention and maybe its time that I do, rather than recent buys! So I wanted to do 3 sets of my Favorites starting with Nail Polish, Fragrance, and Makeup ♡

(Left to Right): Facets of Fuchsia, You Don't Know Jacques!, Lucerne-Tainly Look Marvelous, Do You Lilac It?

These are all the colors I have been wearing for the fall and I'm currently obsessed with. They're the first ones I grab when I need to redo my nail polish. Try them out, you may fall in love!

Wocka Wocka & Facets of Fuchsia ♡

Just a little update! I ran some errands today and finally picked up Revlon's Facet of Fuchsia from Target that was recently stocked. I'm so happy I finally caught this nail polish because after seeing so many swatches and being obsessed with purple I fell in love! 

I also stopped at Ulta and picked up OPI Wocka Wocka which I'm excited to wear for the holidays! 

Enjoy your weekends ladies!
