Hi friends! Hope you're all having a good week! This week has been quite relaxed for me and I've recently revisited my old Spotify playlists from years ago. I realized how much I miss the artists I used to listen to everyday after school while I was doing homework. Also, I have discovered some sick artists the past few weeks so I thought I'd write a little post about these artists.





1. Elevate, St. Lucia
This one is a mix between futuristic and tropical. It's super chill and has a nice beat. I love the introduction to this. It comes at you all at once in the beginning and drizzles out throughout the song. It's just one of those songs that has awesome instrumentals and I like it simply because it sounds sick.

2. Afternoon, Youth Lagoon
Another oldie. This artist basically got me through sophomore and junior year of high school. I was obsessed with his first album The Year of Hibernation. His voice sounds so weird and different from anything I've ever heard before and this song has the sickest beat. Just listen to it, you'll know what I'm talking about.

3. Marilyn, G-Eazy (feat. Dominque Le Jeune)
Marilyn is a duet between G-Eazy and Dominque Le Jeune. It's very romantic for G-Eazy and I love the lyrics. Its a love story that everyone can relate to and they're voices compliment each other very well.

4. Drowning, Banks
This one is pretty grungy I guess you could say. It's not a song that everyone will absolutely love, but I like the instrumentals and her soft voice. Her album Goddess is one of my go to's for homework because it's so chill.

5. This Is What Makes Us Girls,

 Lana Del Rey
I love Lana so much. This song is beautifully written and her voice along with it is perfect. I can relate to everything she is talking about in this song and it's a pretty catchy. I want to see her in concert so freaking bad.
LIVE LOVE LANA

6. Higher Love, James Vincent McMorrow

Here's an oldie. This one give me the chills every time. His voice is beautiful and this is just a simple song with beautiful lyrics. It's kinda sad, but truly inspiring.







7.  Happy Little Pill, Troye Sivan
This kid is so fucking cute and he knows it. I'm so incredibly proud of this man (he's still a boy to me) for everything he has accomplished and I genuinely love this track. He is so passionate about writing and conveying his feelings through his songs.

8. Me, The 1975
Let's be honest. This band is killing it right now. Other than the main popular ones, this song is one of my favorites. Matty (my future husband) sounds different in this song. His voice is super deep and raspy and it just makes me want to melt.

9. Wings, Birdy
Birdy has such a beautiful and delicate voice. I've always been a fan of her and this is one of her newest singles. This song has such an amazing climax and it's so powerful.

10. Sophie, Benjamin Francis Leftwich
I don't know why I like this song. It is just really pretty and meaningful and powerful and I wish someone would write something like this for me.

Sorry if those little blurbs were awkward, I'm not good at describing sounds or songs really. If you're looking for some chill songs I would highly recommend checking out any of these artists. There's a good variety from Hip Hop, Rap, Alternative, Pop, Indie, Futuristic and Tropical. I love all kinds of music, so if you an artist you think I might like, leave a comment below! Thank you so much for reading!!

Hello Lovelies!
This winter has been cold, long, and to be quite honest I'm counting down the days until summer. This cold weather has taken its toll on my skin. My face is constantly dry and everything I put on it absorbs immediately. Luckily, I have found some great products to save me from the dry winter weather. These have been my staple face products that I have been using this winter!

1. Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion  - After washing my face, I apply the Clinique dramatically different moisturizing lotion. I use a good amount of this moisturizer to my entire face and massage it into my skin until its silky smooth. This is a great cream moisturizer that doesn't leave my face feeling sticky or oily. My skin feels replenished and super soft after applying this product. This is a necessary lotion for anyone trying to get through the winter months. It is a staple product that I use every day.

2. POREfessional - After moisturizing my skin, I apply pore-fessional by Benefit to my t-zone. This primer is not only a great base for make-up, but also minimizes imperfections. It covers up all my pores and blackheads. It also blends into the skin very nicely and a little goes a long way! This is a must-have for anyone with large pores like me. It drastically minimizes the appearance of my pores and with the help from a little bit of powder, my pores disappear completely!

3. All-In-One BB Cream - After using the Porefessional, I apply the All-In-One BB Cream from The Body Shop. I'm not the biggest fan of heavy things on my face like foundation, so this BB cream does the trick. It's very light and has just enough coverage to even out your skin tone. It comes out of the tube as a creamy white cream and as you apply the product, it adjusts it's tint to your skin tone. I love this because I don't have to worry about my face looking 
darker than the rest of my skin.

4. Wake Me Up Concealer - For my under eye concealer, I stick to the Rimmel London Wake Me Up Concealer. It brightens my under and inner eyes and I occasionally use it under my nose area where I have some redness. I have this product in just about all of the shades because I use it through every season. This concealer brightens the dark circles under my eyes and can easily cover up spots. This is an essential concealer and it's affordable for anyone. I also use this concealer to brighten up the red patches on my skin.

5. Stay Matte Powder - Finally, I powder my face. This is my favorite part because it leaves my face looking flawless and I love this powder. I use the Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder and it is the best thing I've ever put on my face. I have about four of these bad boys in my makeup bag in about every shade. If I'm in a hurry I apply some concealer and this powder and I'm out the door. This powder is so cheap, it costs less than a Starbucks drink! It keeps my face from getting oily and leaves it with a good matte finish. There are tinted powders and there is also a translucent powder if you just want the matte finished look. 

I hope you enjoyed reading! These products are not too hard on the skin and they are very affordable. 

Love you lots.
