Updated: What's In My Travel Makeup Bag

Hey Guys!

I've been super busy over this way with the usual.. school. I found some extra time today to edit this video I filmed a few weeks ago while I was on semester break. I travelled to my hometown for a while so I figured what better to show you what's in my travel makeup bag! I love these sorts of videos because the products people take with them are either tried and true products that they love or something new they've been wanting to try out. This is the case with the items I brought home with me and I will probably be toting must of these home again when I go in a weeks time. I hope you all enjoy the video! ♥

Soooo.. A Youtube Video Happened

Hey Guys!

Super long time no talk! What a busy semester I've had! I'm almost finished this one though, with one exam on friday and then I have a whole 2 weeks off! Yay!

So here is some exciting news! My friend Chelsi (ChelsiMadonna on Youtube) tagged me to do the I <3 Spring tag and I thought it would be super fun to try to film it! It was so fun recording this but I think I'll be more comfortable in front of the camera! If this one goes over well, maybe I will do some more! :D

And if you're reading this before the editing has updated.. please ignore my awkward posing at the end. It was my sad attempt at a custom thumbnail LOL! :)

Here are some lovelies I tagged and I would love to know if you guys did this tag! I would love to check it out!

Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick in Tempt Me

Hey Guys!

I was browsing through my local Shoppers Drug Mart Beauty Boutique when I spotted the Smashbox Love Me collection for Spring 2013. I had been lusting after this collection since I saw this video back in December.

Basically, this collection is based on an artist named Curtis Kulig who's signature is this Love Me which is seen written all over this gorgeously packaged collection. The Love Me really drew me in because everybody wants to be loved!

25 Random Facts About Me!

Hey Guys!

I saw this tag on my friend Tawny's blog and I thought it sounded really fun! Like Tawny, I don't do many personal posts and I like to get to know the person behind the blog. I tag all of you reading this because I would love to know more about you! :)

1. I'm a complete music lover. I've been playing piano since I was 5, guitar since I was 12, tenor saxophone since I was 11, flute since I was 16 and drums since I was 18. I hope to learn many more (next being the mandolin).
2. I've been speaking French since I was 5. My Grandma is from a small french community outside my hometown and her first language is french. My parents thought if I went into French Immersion, I could speak with her in french but it didn't work out so well because my Nan's French is pure slang lol!

HEY GUYS!!!!! <3<3

Holy Moly.. it's been long time no talk! School totally messed up my blogging schedule I had going. I've been flat out with that and plus *confession time* I was a bit discouraged with my blog design and the way it all looked. I've been trying to figure out if was time to invest in a blog design or should I try to fix it up myself so I decided to take a day, learn a little about HTML and  I came up with this simple blog design which I'm excited about! I hope you guys like it as much as I do! I also want to thank my longtime blogging friend Sabina from Beautyblogsandmore for giving me some awesome photo editing tips!

So without further ado..
