October 2014 Favorites

Dear blog,  I hope you had a great month :). Here are some items I have been loving for the month of October. 



I showed this Mark Twain Library candle in my Barnes and Noble post. I have been looking for library inspired candles and I finally found some at Barnes and Noble. I was ecstatic. I love burning this candle, during cold, rainy days. It just adds a little something to the day.


I have been fond of The Body Shop online store. I'm obsessed with the Wild Argan Oil collection. The smell is just phenomenal, it reminds me of baby powder (which is a smell I absolutely love). When I lather this body butter on at night, the smell helps me relax. So far I have tried the body butter, shower gel, and rough scrub. I would like to try the body lotion and oil lips; they are definitely on my list of items to try.

This is the Revlon Lip Butter in Pink Truffle. I haven't tried any other lip butters, but I like this one. It's a nice hydrating butter in brown.









Lately I have enjoyed wearing my Maja Espana compact face powder in Tostado. I purchased  mine at Navarro, a Cuban drug store in Miami, but I could only find it on Amazon. If you are interested, check it out. It smells great, though its not full coverage; but the best part is that it allows my own skin to peak through.
I found this nail polish at Target. I can always trust Sonia Kashuk to have the color that I'm looking for; it has happened several times now. I love this brown color; it is great for this Fall season. I have noticed that Army green is going to be great this season and I think this color will go great with it. This is in the color Skin Deep.

This is a panda pillow I bought from a shop at Etsy. It was quite pricey for the size of it. It was $16: it was crazy, that price for its tiny size. As you can see in the picture, its not large enough to serve any purpose. I was going to return it, but I just really wanted a Panda pillow. So I kept it and now it resides on my bed. The shop is mymimi.




Now we have my Panda phone cover. Are you starting to see a pattern? I'm quite obsessed with Pandas right now. This phone case is from  Claire's and was only $10.


The Nanny is one of those shows that has me laughing all the time. Some people can't stand Fran's voice, but I think it's hilarious. I watched the show on TV, but I don't have cable so I'm so glad I found the first two seasons of the show. I bet you are wondering where I found it; well in trusty Barnes and Noble, this store always has what I'm looking for in terms of movies and shows. Oh and of course books. This was on sale for $10, I was one happy Fran fan.

I purchased this watch at Francesca's. I have talked about this store before. It is on the pricey side so I can't buy many items from there, but I saw this dainty watch for $18. I have been searching other stores for a watch like this and they were way to expensive. So I settled for this one, but maybe I can get a Mickael Kors watch one day. I can't find this watch online, but I did find other cute one's in stores.

Back to School

Dear blog, it is time to start a new semester. I'm getting so close to being done with my Master's degree. I have 5 classes left; God willing I will complete my Master's and graduate this August. I'm so pumped to finally be done and get a small break from school. Which is ironic because my degree is in teaching. It is time to buy text books and school supplies. Even though my classes are online, I still like to have a notebook to take notes as I read. Also, I love post it notes to write reminders of when assignments need to be turned in, pens, pencils, and highlighters. I'm all about making to-do lists, so I always have a piece of paper around that tells me what I need to be doing. This is a lap computer desk, I bought it at Bed Bath and Beyond it is not found online. I have had this desk for about 5 years now. I really like this desk because it can be moved around; it can be used on the couch or just to sit on the floor. This desk has two slots on the side to ke

Wish List for Valentines

Kiel James Patrick: Brunch At Tiffany's , I discovered this store last year and I absolutely fell in love. In particular with this pearl necklace, I have been wanting it since I saw it. It is quite pricey, hence why I have not been able to get it. This necklace costs $82.00; I mean it is made up of pearls so I don't expect for it to be cheap. Also, it looks like a classy piece that every girl should have in their jewelry collection. Pearls will always be in style. Tory Burch: Perfume ; this one is the 1oz bottle for $65.00. This has been on my wish list for a year. The bottle is absolutely gorgeous, I can use it as a decoration on my vanity. Tory Burch: Tilsim Logo Heart Stud , perfect gift for Valentines Day. These earrings are gorgeous. Victoria's Secret: The Cotton Mayfair Pajamas , this pajama is so cute, it's in my favorite color. Also, I need new pajamas, I have plenty of pajamas bottoms, but not tops. This one is perfect because it

Week 6 Weight Loss Journey

Image
Dear blog, once again no change in my wight. I look slimmer, but no weight has come off. I have not gained or lost weight; my brother says it's because I don't have a clean diet and I think he is right. I have been working out really hard, but not made much improvement in the types of food I have been putting into my body. I'm really trying to make better choices, but those sweets get me all the time. Also, I feel hungry all the time, I don't understand. It has really been hard. For this coming week I'm going to try to stay away from sweets and of course continue to work out hard core. I feel like I should only document when there is actual weight loss happening. What do you think or are you liking the weekly updates?
