Update :)

Hellloo Beautiful! 
Just a little update post and a little note that my next post just might be a video haul :) Different right? 
Well right now I'm just busy with school and work but luckily school is coming to an end and my last final is April 30th. Unfortunately I start spring classes on May 8th but it will be worth it since I will now only have 3 semesters left of undergrad! Also I have a little secret that's super excited but I can't say what it is. Not sure how its going to turn out, so if it doesn't work out I'll let you all know. Otherwise I will let you all know next fall *hint* Also I will start my internship soon and If I get this position at my job I'm interviewing for things will be going good. Any who my 21st birthday is coming up and I'm trying to figure out things to do. I never want to do things big but because Its the last exciting birthday I might as well do something crazy. 

Also I hope all of you had a wonderful Easter! I spent the day with my family and it was perfect :) 

Plus I'm getting my hair done soon and with the horrible experiences I've had I'm incredibly scared doing anything different with my hair. But, I have some faith and for my last chance I want to do something a little different. I actually have a little red undertone in my hair naturally. Basically I can't describe what I want so here's a picture: (Ignore the person who has the hair lol) 

Yes or No? Comment below if you Like it! 

Lastly, I went to Burn Fitness this little place close to my house that has been sending invites for a while now. I decided to finally check it out and not only did I get a membership but I also got a personal trainer. I'm extremely excited because I have not been happy with my weight and finally I'm doing something to change that! This might be the best summer.

NOTD: China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy

Helloooooo Gorgeous, 
So I've been on a nail polishaholic status for a while now, and I'm starting to really notice this since I cannot keep my hands or money away from all the beautiful colored nail polishes out there. Instead of studying I'm looking up new polishes I have yet to come across or swatches to see which ones look better. 

Recently I purchased OPI Strawberry Margarita, China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy and China Glaze Gothic Lolita. I absolutely loved these purchases but I questioned Flip Flop Fantasy. When I first purchased it, it looks like a coral with a little pink inside the bottle but when I applied it to my nail polish wheel it looked completely orange so I was a little scared to try it. Last night something came over me and I decided to try it out and here's what I got...
Unfortunately this picture doesn't show the actual brightness and neon color it is but it definitely looks gorgeous. After wearing it all day I got a ton of compliments and I'm surely keeping this on for a while. If your looking for something to spice up your nails definitely try this color out. Its from an old China Glaze collection but you can still find it online or in stores. 

♥XOXO Danielle

My Favorite MAC Foundation ♥

So I've had a rough weekend to say the least but its my spring break and the drinks I've had this weekend definitely made up for everything. I actually had my first Washington Apple Shot which was delicious. I can tell for my 21st I'm going to have the best drinks :)
 Work has been really attacking my confidence and I'm trying really hard to not allow stupid things to effect me. Other than that, I have been using my new MAC Mineralized Satinfinish SPF 15 Foundation and MAC 188 Duo Fibre Brush which I absolutely love! Thank god I ran out of my powder foundation because it was nothing compared to the Satin Finished.

It really lasts all day for me and even gives my skin a little glow after applying. This was definitely worth every penny. When  I tried it on I was actually able to wear NW 20 which is weird for me because I have been an NW25 for forever, but I still purchased my NW 25 because summer is coming and I will be a little darker (hopefully) :)

Hope you all had a lovely Monday :)

NOTD: Cinderella

So of course the one night that I went out with my girls I promised myself I would not buy anything. Then I bought 4 new Sinful Color Nail Polishes haha. Clearly I can't hold back on buying anything, but it was worth it. I got Pinky Glitter, Cinderella, Hazard, and Green Ocean. I actually didn't like the last two colors so I plan on returning or exchanging them but last week I sported Pinky Glitter over my OPI Pink Friday,  and this week I have on Cinderella. 




(I apologize for my horrible chips and bad nails. Since spring is coming I'm getting them done soon and I actually applied this 5 days ago)..I really liked Cinderella because it was a simple light blue with a hint of shimmer that really applied well to my nails. I was totally prepared to put a color under Cinderella, but after two coats my nails were perfectly covered. For Sinful Colors, this is probably my favorite! Plus like I mentioned I applied this 5 days ago, and after work and school its still holding on strong!

What are your favorite Sinful Color Nail Polishes?

Life Update and Something fun :)

So it doesn't seem like a long time but it feels like forever since I last posted. So far I've been extremely busy with my job (our store is being remodeled, so we moved), midterms, my job shadow, and all the millions of quizzes and papers. Also I had a little issue where I got my pay check and literally spent half of it at MAC so I have a lot of new lovely posts coming up! 
I'm extremely excited today because I received my acceptance letter for my Minor in Business Administration. Also planning out my fall semester it really hit me that my graduation is soon approaching! I have about a year and a half (hopefully) left and I can't believe it. 

YAY :) Anyways now that my last midterm is over and its the weekend, I decided it would be great to take my room and completely change it, throw things out and donate some old clothes I NEVER wear. Sounds good right?
Hope you all are having a wonderful night!

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 :) )
The picture under is me mixing the contents above and those little paws in the back are of my kitty Cinnamon :)

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!
