Best 21st Birthday & Drake

So my birthday was a few weeks ago and since then a lot of good things have happened

1) I successfully made my first ever cake and it actually turned out good. It was supposed to be leopard print but the colors were so similar it looked a little like cow print lol

2) I celebrated with my friends and family all week

3) I got a new job :) 

and 4) My best friend surprised me with Drake tickets =D

Now I know a lot of people have their opinions on Drake but when it comes to me I'm absolutely in love with him and I've always wanted to go to a concert. Unfortunately I got sick the day before so I spent all day yesterday sleeping and taking a ton of medicine so I would be ready to go! Best night of my life! 

I can definitely check off those things on my mental bucket list!

New Mannequins!

So growing up I have always wanted a mannequin. I can remember when I would get PB Teen magazines I would circle all the things I wanted and they were at least $199. Well this isn't new, I've actually had them since February but I had to figure out where and how I would actually use them before I could post about them. 

For those who don't know I work at V. Secret and we are doing some MAJOR remodeling to the point where we will be double the size and comparable to the two story store they have in Chicago. I helped out with the entire move and as one of the few associates that got to see the old store for the last time we also were able to run around and pick out mannequins for us to take home. I couldn't believe my luck and I wish I would have grabbed a few more for friends but here are my new babies :) 

Excuse the mess, I'm currently trying to get my room in order.

I've been using the one with polka dots for my purses and the other for my scarves :) 

Also my birthday past last week and I'm trying to prepare a Haul/Birthday Video to post on here. Not sure when but I will try too soon! 

Tant Auguri a me/ Happy Birthday to me :)

I'M FINALLY 21 :) 

Update #2 & Sinful Colors Haul

Hello Gorgeous

So it has been a long time since I last updated so here's what has been going on:

1) I had my interview at my job (which wasn't a real interview I guess) and actually a complete waste of my time. It was good thing though because now I'm seeking a new opportunities at other places. Oh well it's just retail right?

2) I finished my last semester as a Junior in my undergrad, finishing with all B+'s which is fine by me but it kind of stinks when I was only a few points away from As... 

3) I got a new job (or second job)  :) 

4) I start my summer classes next week

oh and 5) I guess the whole catty girls and drama didn't end in high school and a lot of people I was friends with from work ended up starting situations with me. It's sad to know that no matter what age we are girls are still trying to be rude and talk behind peoples backs. But of course it was a lesson learned and I still have the girls who stick with me through thick and thin! 

Besides all of that my life is definitely going the way I want it too. I'm actually starting to live and eat healthier. I actually joined a gym and started with a personal trainer for a few days to see certain things I can do and I'm planning on going to the gym 3 to 4 days a week. I'm even more excited to start making delicious healthy meals that will leave me happy and energized rather than fat and bloated. I might keep track of my progress on here or post some new recipes I discover...but we will see :) 

So enough about my life, 

My best friend called me a couple weeks ago and told me that Sinful Colors at Walgreen's were all of a sudden on sale for 99 cents. Although they are normally $1.99 which is still a good price I couldn't pass up this deal. I went 2 different times and picked up 5 nail polishes for $5.25 both times. Total it cost me $10.50 for 10 bottles. Unfortunately, I picked up a color I already had so I hope they will let me exchange it! I think this deal is over but I'm pretty sure they will do it again soon, at least I hope. 

Colors (From left to Right) Back: Why Not, Let's Talk, Nirvana, All About You, Secret Admirer

Front: Nail Junkie, Kissy, Mint Apple, Island Coral, PINK

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 :)
