Fun Things To Do In The Summer

With summer coming up right around the corner, many of you are probably making plans or thinking of fun things to do. Because summer is such a short season, it is so easy to forget how to enjoy those lovely few months. One second summer is here and just a simple blink later, it is autumn again and the leafs are no longer green or on the tree. So, let’s make this summer a memorable one shall we? Below are just a few of the infinite amount of things you can do in the summer.

Parasailing 

If you are not scared of heights or water, then I can almost guarantee you that you will absolutely LOVE parasailing. It was definitely one of the best experiences of my life. Just being up in the air, relaxing and floating in air is a feeling hard to explain unless you experience it. Besides that, to be dipped in the middle of the ocean is like a cherry on top. I suggest that you add parasailing to the top of your list for this summer.

Horseback Riding

Although I don’t believe that horseback riding is a summer activity, I think it is definitely something you should try out this summer. [Read more...]

Spring Must Have Beauty Favorites

With all the beauty and makeup products out in the market, how do you decide on which product to purchase or what will suit you the best?

Every skin type is different and has its own needs but here are a few of spring’s must have staple makeup/beauty items that I believe every girl should own. It’s a mix of both drugstore and high end products to suit every budget! Hope you enjoy article and find it useful:

Foundation

1. Hello flawless oxygen wow!
Although this foundation could be a bit on the pricier side, it’s worth every penny! Not only goes it make your skin look naturally healthy but it also gives it a brightening effect, a natural glow which I love. The coverage is buildable so weather you need light, medium or full coverage, this product does it all without leaving you with a cakey face!

2. L’Oreal True Match Super Blendable Makeup
This foundation is one of my top favorites and the best part is the affordable price! I just recently started using this product and already in love. Its super bleandable and matches my skin tone perfectly. The only down side to it is that it doesn’t come with a pump but that really not a big deal.

3. Maybelline Dream Fresh BB 8-In-1 Beauty Balm Skin Perfector
I know a lot of you guys have been wondering what is s BB cream or does it really work? I personally like BB creams more than foundations because it does a lot more than just cover up your imperfections. The formula is very light and feels like you are wearing nothing on your skin. It’s actually a tinted moisturizer so it’s healthy for your skin as well. I would not recommend this product to all skin types though. If you have acne prone skin or need medium to full coverage, then this product might not be the right one for you.

Concealer
1. boi-ing industrial-strength concealer.
This concealer is a bit on the price side but works great! It covers up your under-eye circles and any imperfections and wont crease. It’s also great if you have hyper pigmented skin and will give you great coverage. [Read more...]
