April Favourites

Hi everyone! It's May, yay! ♥

April was a very interesting month - it was my last month of university, so the majority of my time was spent studying for finals, which is just as fun as it sounds.

I did, however, pick up some favourites throughout the month, naturally!

Music-wise, I absolutely fell in love with Andrew Belle. Look him up, please do! His songs are gorgeous, and I find they're all very relatable as well. My favourite on this particular album - Black Bear, his most recent - is called Pieces. Beautiful song.

My next favourite:

Lily Collins & her flawless eyebrows

Filling in eyebrows. On a side note I don't think Lily Collins fills hers in, but she has flippin amazing eyebrows, like, just look at them. I've been filling my eyebrows in for a while now, but started doing it more often in April, just because I really do enjoy how easy it is to do it once you get the hang of it.

Aaaaand lastly:

Crop tops. Shown above is one that I actually own, I bought it at Forever 21 for about 10 dollars. A couple months back I was completely determined to enlarge my nonexistent collection of crop tops, and since then I have. I have a couple basic ones, and a couple nice floral ones that I adore. I love this trend, especially now that the weather is improving!

So those are some of my April favourites! What are some trends you are enjoying this spring?

Far Better Things Ahead

Hello everyone, I haven't posted in quite a while - my apologies!

Things have been incredibly hectic this past little while. April was my last month at university, so there were lots of things to fret about - finals, moving out, getting employed. Now I have fully moved back home, so I'll be able to make some legitimate posts soon. This post, however, is just a short hey-I'm-still-alive kind of thing.

Exams went really well (all except calculus, but that isn't too much of a surprise), and my first year at university was an absolutely amazing experience. Moving out of dorm was so so hard - saying goodbye to all of the people I had become so close with during the year was heartbreaking. It is just for the summer, however, I will see them before I know it!

And now I'm looking for a summer job, which is proving to be much more challenging than I had originally thought it would be. Today I went around downtown and gave out some resumes. Hopefully someone out there gives me a chance!

And one last fun update - we're going to South Africa for August! I am so so so excited, it's going to be brilliant. So I have that to look forward to, as well as my second year of university, which I'm sure will be just as wonderful as my first year was.

A little bit of wisdom as you continue with your week (image source):

So that is my brief life update - more posts to come soon. I hope you all are having lovely weeks.

Updo of the Day

Hi everyone! It's Monday, and my second to last class day of the semester. Just one more class tomorrow and I am finished! Except for final exams, of course. But I'm trying not to think about those.

I tried something new with my hair today and decided to share it with you all :)

Right side

Left side

Essentially what I did was separate the front bang sections of my hair from the rest, make a low bun with the back portion, then braid the front sections and pin around the bun! Super easy, and has stayed secure and sleek throughout the day despite my crazy mane of hair. 

I hope you all have wonderful weeks :)

March Favourites

Hey everyone! We're now onto April (time flies) so naturally, I feel I must do a March favourites post. Here it is!

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear nail polish in Bubblegum Pink. I got this on a whim a while back (for Valentine's Day, actually, though I only got around to trying it out mid-March) and just love the bright pink colour. The nail polish applies smoothly and stays on well!

Rimmel lipstick in Just So. [top image source] I had been looking for a slightly more natural, versatile lipstick for a while, and was so pleased when I found this one! It lasts for ages and even smells nice. I quite enjoy this lipstick.

Clinique clarifying lotion for dry combination skin. This is just a sample bottle, and I only just started using it, but I can already feel the difference it makes on my skin. It keeps my face matte throughout the day, and dries up pesky little red marks. Absolutely love it.

Lord Huron - Lonesome Dreams. This album is definitely my favourite right now. Relaxed, acoustic, full of emotion. I definitely recommend it!

What are some of your March favourites?

Cherry Blossoms

It is a gorgeous Monday afternoon! I am all done with classes and able to fully appreciate the sunshine.

This past weekend I saw some of the most lovely flowers blooming around campus. Though I've already done a handful of flower posts, I just couldn't resist sharing more photos with you all!

I hope you're all enjoying the beginnings of spring weather! I'm absolutely loving it. A chance to get outside, get more active, take in the fresh air without freezing my nose off.

It's also the last full week of school (time goes by way too quickly), so unfortunately this gorgeous weather is making it a bit trickier to concentrate, which I really should be doing in these last few days of class. But in just a month I will be completely done my first year of uni - it's insane. This year has been quite the adventure.

I do hope you all have wonderful weeks.

Almost the Weekend

Hi everyone!

It was an absolutely gorgeous day today, and since my only class today ended at 9:30, I decided to grab my camera, grab a coffee, and wander around downtown. Such a good decision.

Goodness me, was downtown purdy. I had a lovely time strolling around and simply enjoying the warmth of the sun (though there is still a definite chill in the air!).

I didn't get a ton of shopping done, but I did hit up some excellent bra sales! 50% off at La Senza, it was as if I were dreaming! I got one balconier bra in a gorgeous purple colour from there for $20, and another $20 bra from H&M. There's something so satisfying about bra shopping, I love it.

Anyway, I hope you all had wonderful weeks, and have equally wonderful weekends!

Also, I have a flickr account - if you check it out I would be forever greatful! Click here to see it.
