February Music Favourites

Hello everyone!

It's Tuesday, I'm finished with class, and it's pouring outside. The perfect time to relax and listen to some of my favourite artists.

I found a lot of new music this past month, but here are a couple of the songs that really stood out for me:

Say Something by A Great Big World ft. Christina Aguilera: This song is absolutely gorgeous. I kept hearing snippets of it on the radio, in restaurants, etc, and never knew what it was until I finally found it online. I love how you can really feel the emotion in the song.

I Won't Let You Go by Snow Patrol: You can really never go wrong with Snow Patrol. I continue to enjoy the new music they create! Such a lovely song.

Only Love by Ben Howard: This entire CD, really. I love Ben Howard's unique voice, interesting instrumentals, and gorgeous lyrics. A very talented artist, I would love to see him live.

There are some of the songs and artists I have been enjoying recently! Some other artists not pictured above are Andrew Belle, The Mowgli's, and Two Hours Traffic. If you are into alternative, up-beat music, do give them a listen!

What songs are you enjoying this month?

Rainy Sunday

Hi everyone! I hope you all had wonderful weeks.

It's Sunday, it's raining, and I'm nice and cozy listening to some indie music. It's really creating this excellent feeling in me.

The playlist I'm listening to, very aptly named "That Sunday Afternoon Feeling," is right here if you're curious. Truly lovely.

And here is my look for today:

Lipstick: RIMMEL Lasting Finish Liptick in "Just So." 

Eyeshadow: COVERGIRL Eyeshadow Quad in "Lionqueen."

Eyeliner: ALMAY Intense I-Color Liquid Liner

Eyebrows: ALMAY Brow Defining Pencil

Had some fun with button-up shirts today as well! Found at Old Navy

Good bye for now! May you all have lovely beginnings to your weeks.

Snow Day

Hello everyone!

It's Monday! I just returned to campus yesterday after my reading break, and was surprised by it snowing buckets here. Like, it started snowing Saturday, and it's still snowing. And heavily, too. I'm just happy I don't have to do any driving!

Ready to go out in the snow with my knitted toque :)
I was also really proud of my eyebrow filling today.

Snow!

All bundled up and ready to brave the weather!

I also just got my chemistry midterm mark back, and did much better than I thought I did, so I am just in the best mood right now! Now it's time for a nice mug of tea, methinks.

I hope you're all having lovely weeks!

Valentine's Day ♥

Happy Valentine's Day! 

I hope you are all having a day filled with love, joy, and, of course, chocolate! 

This post will be a short one, I unfortunately do have an exam tonight. But after that is reading break! Yay!

Each and every one of you are lovely and have something amazing to offer the world. I hope you are all spending the day surrounded by the people you love.

A Little Hope

Hey everyone! I hope your Februaries are off to an excellent start.

I've been horribly busy with assignments that seem never-ending, and now the sudden onslaught of midterms, so this is probably going to be one of the few blog updates I'll be posting for this next little while. And it's not a very riveting one, I'm afraid.

Life has been unexciting, but still lovely. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous, though frightfully cold, but we're surviving, just a little more red-cheeked and grumbly than usual. And like I said, midterm season is upon us, so we're staying indoors with our noses tucked into our textbooks anyway.

I did managed to escape the grasp of my calculus notes for a little while yesterday, though, and took some pictures around campus. It was just before sunset and the sun was hitting the clouds in a most spectacular way. But the picture I like the best is this one:

The composition is a bit meh and it's a fairly unexciting picture, but I just love how even in this bleak, grey February weather, bright flowers can be found, even if they are tiny ones like these. Gives me a little hope, you know?

Plus it makes me even more excited for spring. I can't wait to see the fresh green and the beautiful flowers.

Online Shopping Wishlist

Hey everyone! It's Thuuursday. And as I've spent the last hour or so browsing stores online instead of studying, I thought I'd share some of my finds with you!

Wishlist. by thelightningboltscar featuring hair styling tools

1. Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat Iron. I've been wanting a new flat iron for a while now, yet want to do lots of research and such before I decide on one! I've heard amazing things about this Sedu flat iron.
2. Iced Coffee Date Wedges from Modcloth. These shoes are so cute. A pair of wedges like these are just what I need for the spring and summer!
3. Food Stylista Dress from Modcloth. I absolutely adore Modcloth's selection of dresses. One day, after I've accumulated a decent amount of money, I feel I must go on a Modcloth dress buying spree.
4. Warm Palette from Coastal Scents. So. Many. Colours. Plus it's on sale right now! That must be a sign!
5. Tortoise Shades from Satterday. A new pair of sunglasses is high on my list right now, and this pair is adorable. Definitely keeping my eyes open for a similar pair when I next go shopping.

There is my wishlist! SO many cute things available right now. What are some online stores you enjoy perusing?

So It's Monday

Hello everyone! We find ourselves at the beginning of another week!

I had an amazing weekend - my boyfriend visited me here at university for a while and it was absolutely perfect. But now back to the homework and assignments and lectures!

And next weekend, I get to go home and see my family! I'm so looking forward to it. I love it here at uni, of course, but I do miss the folks back home.

For this week, though, I'm going to concentrate on getting the most out of what I do. I'm going to study hard, be creative, live as fully as I can. Because I think that's important for being happy. Instead of waiting for something in the future, make the most of the now. 

Live for today. Life is as grand as you make it. 

So, while I do look forward immensely to spending time at home this coming weekend, I'm going to try and make this week the best one yet!
