Origami Butterflies

The artist's eye is incredible. Some people just have the ability to see the world through different lenses and say everything without speaking a word.

Personally I am not a fan of Origami...at all. I remember my fifth grade teacher trying to engage our class in a fun demonstration of transforming sticky note Christmas ornaments into stars. Let's just say I left the class bawling my eyes out. But because this piece is so captivating, I will forgive the fact that it once made me cry.

One Thousand Origami Butterflies
Originally shown in Australia, artist Taegan Roberts pays tribute to her mother in this piece entitled ,"Peel Your Eyes". I find this so intriguing and beautiful. Each individual butterfly is positioned perfectly over a single light.  If you want more information: http://www.mymodernmet.com

Now We've Got Wild Dreams...

Taylor Swift not only has incredible style (Wink, wink) but her newest album 1989 has some amazing tracks. Two men by the names of Nigel Tay and Tim Reynolds, have taken Taylor to the next level! I thought their mash up of Bad Blood and Wildest Dreams was absolutely incredible so I thought I share it with you.
I'M SERIOUS IT IS AMAZING

Their talent is undeniable. What did you think? 

How to Avoid a Painful Winter

Dry and cracked Hands?

If your hands are REALLY BAD, try this.
This is THE best stuff. Not going to lie though it
smells a little funky.

- Try This! Before you go to sleep every night apply a generous amount of non-scented lotion to your hands.Then put your hands in cotton socks and get some rest. Repeat this process every night throughout the winter. My hands used to become so cracked in the winter, the skin would break until they were raw in some spaces. I know what your thinking...OUCH. But this is the best method I have ever used.

Chapped Lips?

- Nobody likes chapped lips! Chapstick will be your best friend this winter. For the worst in split lips, I like to use Medicated Carmex. This stuff works wonders.

Flaky Skin?

-Use a moisturizer. I really need to practice what I preach on this one. Do you have a favorite face moisturizer I should check out? Leave it in the comments!

Itchy Scalp? 

- Lets get real for a moment. Nobody wants to admit they have dandruff. It's cold outside and itchy, flaky scalp is a lot more common then you think. Head and Shoulders is a great drug store brand dandruff preventative cleansing system.

I am a huge project runway fan, and I have been for a long time! This year teenagers have taken over the runway. The show is coming up on its seventh episode. I love the contestants new and fresh perspective on fashion and design. Supermodel Hannah Davis fills in for Heidi Klum as host and head judge. Filling up the rest of the panel, we have Kelly Osbourne, Christian Siriano, and Aya Kanai, and of course the amazing, Tim Gunn, mentors the young designers as each challenge progresses. I am so excited to see who wins the entire competition! The show airs Thursdays at 9/8c.

AEsthetica Cosmetics

For Christmas I received some really amazing makeup products from my parents. Even though I've only used them for three weeks, I am in love with these products. The quality of the brushes are phenomenal. They are so soft!

 The top three shadows are used as highlighting shades and the bottom three for are for contouring. The shadows are also removable so when you run out of one you can just replace that shadow instead of the entire kit. I also love the packaging! It's sleek and elegant and great for traveling. I'm excited to keep using these products, and create amazing looks to share with you.

Here's To The New Year

I truly can't believe what I'm about to write. This year has been crazy. Last year I sat down at this time and came up with my list of "New Year's Goals". I never wanted to call them resolutions because I felt like if I called them something different, it would make me want to accomplish them more. As I look back at the goals I'd made, let's face it,  I didn't stick to many of them. But looking back at the list, I had forgotten about number ten...

10. I want to say that at the end of the year that I am genuinely happy: This year my life will 99.9 % be changing drastically. While I am scared and sad, I am excited to embark on a new journey and see what wonderful opportunities unfold!

Well that 99.9% changed to a 100% as I made my move at the end of the school year and journeyed to my new home. I have to say that even though this year has been absolutely insane, I am happy. I was afraid I wouldn't be, but I am, and that's pretty cool. Have a Fabulous 2016 everyone.
