Winter Accessories That’ll Make U Look Rich

Yes, you read it right! Winter accessories that’ll make you look rich, which, I know, sounds materialistic, but materialism is in fact what drives competition in this world. So here we go…

It’s warm, it’s chic, it’s cruelty-free, it’s faux fur!

Every Fall and Winter season, faux fur accessories become more in style and each year faux fur pieces are used in more and more designer’s designs! Faux fur makes you look rich, because it just possesses a very quality, high end appeal!
Wondering how to wear faux fur and which pieces to buy?
1) Get a jacket lined with the faux fur because it’s warm and stylish!

IMG_1587This will be perfect for every look because you can be dressed up or dressed down. However if you aren’t sure about wearing the faux fur everyday…

2) choose a faux fur scarf.

IMG_1611

This is less of a commitment and can easily add a rich look to your outfit. Your FANCY outfit – consisting of a dress with tights or sleek pants and high heels! Don’t add a faux fur scarf when you’re wearing sweatpants or something bummy; the look just won’t work out.

3) faux fur vest is a fav!

IMG_1601-0This could be worn with a dress but it looks WAY better with leggings and a longer length shirt. Shoes are REALLY important when you’re wearing a faux fur vest. You should NOT wear pumps or heels because you’re shadow is going to look like that guy in the Despicable Me movie.

IMG_1625

Boots and Booties should be worn with your skinny jeans, jeggings, or leggings. This brings the whole look together!

MAC lipstick that’ll make you holler back

Mac cosmetics! 💋 Yes! ✨ I’m a mac girl, you’re probably a Mac girl too even if you’ve never tried Mac before. We all have a little Mac girl in us. I love ❤️ Mac lipsticks the most because I can get them for free! How?! Mac has a recycling program that gives you a free lipstick in exchange for 6 empty Mac containers. So, when you finish your eyeshadow, your blush, mascara, whatever, DON’T trash it! Save them, when you collect 6, go get your lipstick! FO FREE!
Next: these are three colors I am obsessed with because they are perfect – P3Rf3CT for the bitter, cold, winter season! Deep shades of plum, red and foxy brown – yes those are the IN lipstick colors! Nudes too, but I’m not gonna talk about that shade because I don’t like it… ANYWHO the hottest deep plum-ish purple right now is called Heroine and the heartful rose charged color with gold is called Viva Glam IV! (Oh yeah! If ever you do buy a Viva Glam lipstick, 100% of the profit goes to women, men and children living with HIV and AIDs)! Lastly, the darkest, vampire-red color called Sin is trending! So def get these colors because you will love them and don’t forget to take care of Mother Earth by recycling. 😉💄✨

Fashion Don’t – creepy Paris Hilton music videos

July 15, 2013, Paris Hilton came out with the music video Nothing In this World. I’m just seeing it now because she posted it on her Instagram…
Paris, you’re my girl and all but this video is just really creepy. I get the points that you are trying to convey about dreamers, bullies, social pressures from school but guess what – he’s too young for you bro! If the child was like in college or 18 at least then I could roll with it.
Not a good look, sorry boo. Fashion don’t, actually it’s a fashion Never Again!?! So the question is… is this grounds for unfollowing Paris on Instagram? Click here if you want to be creeped out (see the video).

Perfectly Straight Teeth – Invisalign ✨

Get your life with Invisalign. I did. And I remember the dentist told me the process would take 2.5 years so I hesitated, but you now what, the time will pass anyway. So why not get your grill together. It is a beautiful thing. A little pricey but all worth it in the end and you can work out a dental plan. Note that they have to be worn 22 hours out of the day. I remember several times when I was out eating and put my Invisalign in a napkin, then accidentally threw them away. My fiancé, boyfriend at the time, would always hunt it out of the trash for me. Do you know how much I appreciated him for that! Just so I didn’t have to look like the homeless one?! Clearly, this is another reason to get Invisalign; you and your significant other can grow closer. Oh yeah, truthfully, they are only invisible to drunk people or people who really don’t pay attention to you. However, they are much less noticeable than braces.
You’re cleaning really has to be immaculate when you have Invisalign because since they hug your teeth so tightly, you are more at risk for cavities. Every two weeks you pick up a new pair of trays, they will be tight for those first two days but it’s totally bearable. Then after you’ve finished all your trays – your teeth are straight, then you can whiten them! ❌⭕️

Makeup Worth Every Penny ✨💰

2015/01/img_1318.jpg
Have you ever thought about spending money on makeup but didn’t know which products were quality?! I was there once too, and after several expensive mistakes I have narrowed down two, really, amazing products that are worth the splurge and can be purchased online or at Nordies!

First you need to understand how crucial the role of foundation is in your life! It is the foundation for the rest of your makeup, it shields your skin from harmful UV Rays and it can truly make or break you! I used to always buy maximum coverage foundation to hide my freckles. Although the coverage was the best, I broke out ALL the time. After being stressed over my bad skin and shelling out money I started to realize a few things… that makeup should not hide but enhance your features! So I went on a hunt to find the BEST foundation and voila ✨ I present to you… Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation 💁

2015/01/img_1319.jpg
This is positively the best foundation because it provides coverage enough to even your skin tone without completely hiding your whole face! You will photograph like a dream in this and not to mention, SO many celebrities (like Gretta Monahan) use this foundation too. Cuz it’s the best just check the dets!!?

2015/01/img_1323.pngHowever it is really expensive, retailing at $62. If you want to find something comparable try the L’oreal true match liquid foundations (L’oreal owns Giorgio Armani cosmetics).

My next favorite makeup expense is the Touche Èclat Radiant Touch by Yves Saint Laurent. This little magic wand concealer will hide those designer bags under your eyes and leave you looking like you had your full 8 hours of sleep 😉

2015/01/img_1320.jpg ohhhhh, can I just say how PRESSED I was when I saw Lisa Vanderpump using this on my show Vanderpump Rules! The price for this concealer is $41 and if that is out of your budget the Mac Pro Longwear Concealer works very well for $20 (half the price)!!! Have you ever tried these before? Now is the time to shine and enjoy being fabulous! ❌⭕️

Gain Insight about Yourself with this Psychology Quiz!

Want to gain some insight into your personality?  Or maybe your significant other’s personality??

Your preferences, unconscious desires, split second decisions, will be revealed by taking psychological quizzes like the one I posted below!  I LOVE quizzes I don’t know why, I just do and I was amazed by the accuracy of my results ~ so fun!

So before you quiz yourself or your lover, friend whatev…  just try to imagine yourself in the given situation and answer what comes naturally so you can get accurate results!  And don’t think too hard either!

*I do not own any copyrights to the quiz below, I copied this quiz for the purpose of my blog and I am protected under the doctrine of “Fair Use.”

1. Imagine yourself on board a boat that is sinking. You manage to swim to a life boat and climb in. How many people do you see in the life boat with you?

2. You row to the shore and see a vast desert before you. You collect some belongings and supplies, and head out across the desert in search of salvation. How many pairs of shoes do you use?

3. Upon entering the city, you see a castle that intrigues you and decide to go to it. After passing the gates you find yourself walking down the length of a long corridor leading to the throne room. You enter and see a king and a queen sitting side by side on the throne. What do both the king and the queen look like? What characteristics do they seem to embody?

4. You leave and go down a spiral stairway. It’s dark and shadowy, with torches lit intermittently along the walls. As you’re walking down a lady (if you are a man) or a knight (if you are woman) from the court passes you by. You only catch a glimpse of their face, and they remind you of someone you know. Who did you see?

5. The stairs lead you to a banquet room and you see a long table with a golden goblet in the middle of the table. Looking inside the goblet, how full of wine is it?

Analysis

1. How many true friends you perceive you have.

2. How many true loves you’ll have before getting married.

3. What you imagine your ideal mate to be like.

4. This is the person you will never get over for the rest of your life.

5. How full it is represents how much of yourself you give in a relationship.

How basic Are YOU?!

Are you wondering if you’re basic?  It’s ok if you are.  No judgment here.  After all everybody’s a little bit basic…

Click on the link to take the quiz  HOW BASIC ARE YOU?!

So, um, Yes, had to take this quiz…Screenshot 2014-09-25 17.38.40
