Music To Work Your Ass Off To
So I thought it might be a fun idea to post about what I like to listen to when I’m working out, I am one of those people that has to listen to music when exercising because I have to occupy my mind or else I will go crazy. I don’t do anything that special as far as exercise goes, mostly just spinning and running with a little bit of strength training and occasionally yoga but...

Items Of Comfort
So today unfortunately has been dreary and cold compared to yesterday. I went to the mall to try to spend my Macy’s giftcard, but couldn’t find any clothes that were even worth it. I think I will probably end up using it to get perfume instead, I am such a perfume junkie and I have had my eye on Guilty by Gucci and Alien by Mugler. After that, made a quick stop at Starbucks then on...

Romantic Spring Fashion
Today, the weather has started warming up so it was a beyond perfect day to go shopping. First I woke up early to beat the traffic and hit up Whole Foods to stock up on some vegan staples. My mom, Lisa, Janine and Libby all went as well, which was fun to go with everyone! Then later got a new monitor at Best Buy, which was a serious need. I’ve been dying to get a chance to go out and see...

At Home Spa Day
Today has been spent pampering myself, took a bubble bath, used my favorite detox mask by Boscia and gave myself a pedicure. Perfect way to start off the crazy weekend, I feel so rejuvenated. The Boscia Clarifying Detox mask is a must have for any skincare lovers out there, my skin feels so soft and my complexion is flawless. Having some down time was nice, I will be meeting up with one of my...

Extremely Loud + Incredibly Close
I went out early to go to the movies with my grandma, we don’t get to go out a ton so that was nice. We saw extremely loud and incredibly close, and omg I bawled the whole way through, I am such a baby. It was really intense and emotional, and I am sitting there borderline hysterical and my grandma was just chilling, not even emotional at all. After that I came back to hang out with my...

Valentine's Day Peak
Incredible pasta + being surprised with white roses. <3 the little things. It means so much to me that someone remembered something so little that I mentioned to them like 2 months ago. It’s things like this that mean the most, not fancy dinners or expensive presents, but little moments that take your breath away. Valentines Day can be fun even when you are currently single! Hope all of...

Decorating My Bedroom
Fantasy Bedroom by stateofgraceee on polyvore.com
Since moving in November I have yet to actually get my bedroom in order and seeing as I need all new furniture I’ve been putting it off, trying to decide what I wanted to do with the room. I have finally settled on black and gold as my color scheme, so now I have to go from there. I want it to be modern consisting of sleek, dark furniture....

Best products for oily skin
I always hear people say that your skin gets less oily as you age but in my experience this has not been true at all. My skin is more oily now than ever, my face is like the Gulf shore beaches circa 2010. SO if you’re like me and your skin is an oil slick, here are some products that have worked for me.
1) Urban Decay De Slick Makeup Setting Spray - I got the 10 dollar mini of this as an...

Supernatural + Juice
Spending the afternoon lounging around, I am starting Supernatural today and I am so excited, all my friends are obsessed with this show and I have been seeing it all over my dash as well. I checked the full first season out from the library, but there’s a ton of seasons apparently, so I fully expect to have no life for the next month. Wednesday I am starting a juice fast and I have a...

Easy Vegan BLT
This is a really easy lunch to make for someone who misses eating classic BLT’s, and it’s great for those days that you just wake up and say ” To hell with eating healthy” which is pretty much me, any given day. All you need is:
2 slices Bread
Smart Bacon
Tomato Slices
Lettuce I didn’t have any :(
and Vegenaise.
It’s SOOO FREAKING GOOD

Vegan Orange Chicken
I didn’t feel like cooking tonight so 1 pack of Gardein mandarin orange chicken + 1 bag of white rice = a seriously orgasmic dinner.

Healthy Post
So as a vegan, I get a lot of questions about my diet. What I eat, what I don’t eat, etc. So I wanted to address that in this post. I have strict guidelines for my diet that I try to follow and here they are. When I first wake up I drink a glass of hot water to wake myself up and then I eat yogurt with chopped hazelnuts and fresh organic fruit. I do not live by the “breakfast is the...

Late Christmas
Spent the day with my amazing best friend Kelsi, we finally exchanged our Christmas gifts. Some may say this is a tad bit late but it’s an improvement from last year when we never got around to doing it. She got me my favorite thing ever, Philosophy shower gels and a super sweet framed picture of us that I will be putting next to my bed to masturbate to. Tomorrow I am finally eligible...

Benefit
Review time!! Okay Here we have the instant brow pencil by Benefit cosmetics. This product is a gem for me, because my eyebrows are not as thick as my hair. I have used this since summer 2010 when I switched from using the Anastasia brow gel, because I would get in the water and my eyebrows would come off like I was Stan Sitwell (thumbs up if you get the Arrested Development joke.) Not a good...

Josie Maran Argan Color Stick
Once again, it’s review time. Once again, another Josie Maran product. The Argan color stick is what we have today, a natural argan oil infused stick for both cheek and lip color. This product is a tough one for me, I bought it in both colors and the colors are both gorgeous. I just find applying this product to be difficult, I think for me personally I prefer to stick to a powder brush....

You're Still The One
It’s review time, guyss! Yay! I’m pretty sure I got this last week and I have used it for about three days now, and I’m very impressed (shocker!) Let me preface with this - you are not going to wake up the next day and look like Snooki, but it does give you noticeable color. I am naturally fair skinned and I like to tan, but as we all know tanning in the winter for most is out...

That's What You Get..
A little quickie for you guys before bed. I exchanged my Bare Escentuals Prime Time this week, I was planning on getting my favorite Boscia primer, but I’m a sucker for trying new things. Tarte is a natural brand, which I love and I’ve purchased quite a few things from them and never been disappointed. Well this product was no exception. It glides on your skin effortlessly, leaving...

Victoria Beckham + Marilyn Manson
I am a huge fan of edgier fashions. Studs, leather and ripped clothing are among my favorites, but I like it to presented in a really chic and classy way. Kind of like if Marilyn Manson && Victoria Beckham had a child. Omg picture that baby for a second…. Anyways that is my aesthetic when it comes to design. #Obsessed

Soaked In Gasoline
Reviews from my latest Sephora haul. First up, Bare Escentuals Prime Time. I was so excited to get this because I had a sample a while back and loved it. Well when I finished my Boscia Skin Perfecting Primer, I figured it was time to make the switch but I am so so disappointed in this product. When I first applied it, it made my skin tight and dry and then when I started applying my foundation...

Burn them all together
I’ve Been trying really hard to be healthier, my diet has went to shit recently. Whole foods run tomorrrow to hopefully get lots of fresh fruit + veggies. Admittedly I get a little depressed in the winter and my diet always goes downhill this time of year. I have already cut soda out of my diet some time ago, and now I am trying to cut out all processed food and start cooking more. I truly...

SO I thought I’d do a post about...

Christmas Breakfast
Every year we have this traditional amazing huge Christmas morning breakfast right after we open our presents, it may be my favorite part of Christmas. The last 2 years we have made it vegan to accommodate everyone’s wishes. It doesn’t even make a difference, it’s just as delicious. We had brown sugar bacon, scrambled eggs, cheesy grits, mixed fruit, jalapeno biscuits, and hash...
