Naked

I have become obsessed with this Urban Decay pallette for about 6 months now. It has been sold out for so long. I stopped by Ulta on my way home from work yesterday and it was in stock! I had to pick it up! I played with it last night and it creates such a natural or dramatic look. Love it!

I think it has the best colors in it. It has shimmery and flat shades that are heavily pigmented. Which means you do not have to use a lot of product to get the coverage you need.

Excuse the hair. I had taken a quick shower when I came home from work and did not fix the fro'.

I picked up a bronzer/highlighter that I plan to do a vlog on later this week!

My Favorite Things....Bath/Body

I thought now that I have some time on my hands I would start blogging consistently (ha!).

I am going to do a few installments of my favorite items. Later down the line I might even try a vlog! Starting off with bath and body products.

1. Strawberry Body Wash- The Body Shop

This smells heavenly. I am not one for fruity scents normally but this smells like a real strawberry and not overly sugary sweet. It also rinses clean and does not leave that residue that a lot of other body washes do. It is also very affordable.

2. Coconut Body Scrub- The Body Shop

This is the best scrub that I have found. I am prone to breakouts and hate that a lot of body scrubs are oil based. It is grainy enough for a good scrub but not overly harsh. It also rinses very clean and does not leave a strong scent behind. Coconut is the only scent that I have used but all of the scents are great.

3. LaVanila Healthy Deodorant- LaVanila

I picked this up after watching Tiffany D's blog. I have very sensitive skin that will react after shaving. I really like the idea that this is good for you and natural. I have not had any irritation after using it and I really like the fresh vanilla coconut scent. I also use the perfume in the summer.

4. Aveeno Daily Moisturizer- Aveeno

I prefer to use a scent free moisturizer as I do not want it to conflict with my perfume. This one is great for sensitive skin, I also love the fact that it melts in to your skin right away. No greasy after feeling!

5. Ped Egg- As Seen on TV

Nuff' said, takes care of those callouses!

6. Light Blue- Dolce and Gabana

This is the ultimate feminine summer fragrance. It is fresh and beachy. I like to combine it with my LaVanila Coconut Vanilla perfume, makes it feel very tropical.

My new ride

My cute new bike! I love that is has a basket. I plan to ride it around the neighborhood and to close by shops. It is funny how riding bike brings out the child at heart.
