Hello Lovelies!

Today I cut my leg pretty bad while shaving in the shower, I had to walk home in the middle of torrential rain pour, and I was persistently flirted with by my creepy lab partner. I then decided to order pizza and binge watch house. I'd say I ended off the day quite well.

Hope you all had some goodness on this gloomy day.

Hello Lovelies!

If you're anything like me, your lips are dry 24/7 and this makes putting on lipstick absolutely dreadful. I've tried TONS of beauty hacks and tricks but none of them have ever really worked out for my lips. I used to use the honey and sugar lip scrub as my primary means of removing the dry bits from my lips before putting on lipstick. Most of the time it was great, however I found when my lips were super dry the scrub would be too harsh and cause my lips to crack and bleed. Maybe I'm just an aggressive lip scrubber? Who knows! Anyways, I found this technique to be the most effective if I moisturized my lips beforehand or if I did it right out of the shower. This way the skin was softer and easier to work with and no more cracking or bleeding!

Although that was a great method, I've found something that works even better for my sensitive lips. I'm not sure if you've heard of it but it's the toothbrush method. Basically, I'll moisturize my lips with some sort of lip balm, let that sit for a couple of minutes, then take a toothbrush and gently brush my lips. Once I'm done I'll apply lip balm again and it keeps them super soft and luscious! I do this almost every day to keep them as soft as possible.

Have you used these methods before? Give them a try and let me know what you think!

Hello Lovelies!

I have so many things I want to talk about, but I'll start off with the Maybelline Fit Me concealer! Many of us are at a point in our lives where spending $50 on a designer concealer is just out of the question, even if it is the holy grail of all concealers, and so we turn to the good old drugstore for our makeup needs. This is why I'm bringing you the Maybelline Fit Me concealer!

It started when I watched some reviews on YouTube and heard many beauty guru's claiming that the Fit Me concealer was as good as the NARS concealer, and so of course I just had to try it. I managed to get it for about $7 which fits very well into my beauty budget.




The Fit Me concealer has medium coverage and is perfect for people with mild acne, such as myself. I do tend to break out here and there and this concealer does wonders for me. However, I do have to say that if my breakouts were more serious I would probably work on getting a concealer with more coverage. It's also a liquid formula which makes it great for my dry skin! The creaminess makes it very blendable and there's a few shades to choose from. I have pale skin and normally go for #15 in light. Do any of you use this concealer? Let me know!

Hey Friends!

This post is dedicated to all of you in your twenties. Now unlike many, I was absolutely dreading my twentieth birthday. Why? you might be wondering, and the answer is simple. Responsibility. I knew that turning twenty meant things were going to change, and I was not looking forward to that whatsoever.

Normally, one is supposed to have a plan of what they're going to do once their undergraduate studies are over. Nearing the end of my third year, I'm realizing how hard that actually is. Don't get me wrong, I've always had the plan that I would be whisked off to med school, get engaged to the love of my life, buy my own house, and basically become a self-sufficient adult. Unfortunately, not everything is going according to plan.

I'm not entirely sure where I'm going with this post and I think that's the best description of what it feels like to be in your early twenties. You start off really well and have an idea of where you want to be, however you're not quite there yet, and you suddenly start to realize how behind you actually are. Not to mention you're competing with thousands of other applicants who want the exact same position as you, and who happen to have better grades, better extra curriculars, and sometimes even better hair. Have you resorted to the good old "10 ways to make my resume look kick ass" google search yet? Because I have.

I guess what I'm trying to say is you're not alone. If you feel like you're lost and you don't have your life figured out, that's okay! So for all of you twenty-somethings struggling to find your path in life, I'm challenging you to join me and together we'll figure this out. First things first we need to ask ourselves, what career am I working towards?

Hey Friends!

I recently decided to start this blog and just wanted to introduce myself. I'm currently a third year university student studying neuroscience in Canada. Although science is my passion, I do love all things travel, beauty, food and music related. Typical? Maybe. But that's just me!

Stay tuned for more of my oh so exciting life!
