August Favorites

One of my favorite books for the month of August was Girl Waits with Gun by Amy Stewart. It is a historical fiction book taking place at the turn of the 20th century where Horses and buggies road along with cars on the road. The Kopp sisters live out in the country, and they run into danger when they meet up with Mr. Kaufman and his dark minions. I recommend this.

This book I am still reading, but it is a nice summertime read I thought I would share. It was made into a movie with Miley Cyrus and her boyfriend I forget his name. This was when they first met was on the set of that movie. It's above a city girl who meets a young man at the beach. Her dad lives on the beach and her parents are divorced. She is angry with her parents, and she is sent to stay with her dad (she hasn't spoken to him for a couple of years). 

1. Paul Mitchell Lemon Sage Thickening Spray: This helps to make hair look thicker. It is good if you have fine hair.

2. It's a 10 Spray: This is famous. People love this stuff. I use just a little bit because my hair is fine I don't want to weigh my hair down. It has 10 benefits to the hair including a heat protectant, de-frizzer, untangles the hair.

3. Fortune Cookie Obsessive Compulsive Hand Sanitizer: I like having this wear I apply makeup.

4. The Balm Time Balm Face Primer: This is just a nice face primer. It works and does it's job.

5. Floss (lol) Well, I mean it is important to floss your teeth. This kind is fine to get in between my teeth.

6. Simple Face Wipes: I found this in the cupboard. It was waiting for me. I like how moist these towelettes are. I have gotten face wipes before and they were too dry.

1. Bath and Body Works Pumpkin Cupcake Body Spray and Lotion: This has a nice smell. I don't know how to describe it. It isn't that pumpkiny more like vanilla.

2. Philosophy Amazing Grace Ballet Rose Perfume: Pretty floral perfume

These are some lippies and a concealer and the palettes on display are the following. The one in the back is Stila In the Know Palette. It is all mattes. And Stila In the Garden palette is the green one. I love these palettes. They have really good shadows.

I have been using this towel and beach bag every other day as I have taken up swim aerobics. It is so much fun. I'm so glad I got into this. It was nerve wracking at first because I was by myself and I am not that confident in the water. They always say to find something you enjoy doing for exercise, and I am so glad that I found this.

I have also been loving my floral backpack I got from Fred Meyers a while ago. My Bible because I have been going through a rough patch and the Word of God is my personal connection to God. He speaks to me through his word. He is a personal God. And my cute folder I've been using to carry important papers around with me. 

May Favorites

Favorite Movie

Pitch Perfect: I think the sequel to this movie came out this month. I am going to wait until it is able to rent. I saw this movie awhile ago, and I don't remember it being so funny! I also like the music in it. It has a cute story.

Favorite Books

The Longest Ride by Nicholas Sparks: I have been reading Nicholas Sparks' novels lately. I just saw the movie, and the book is so much better. It has two love stories. An old man tells his story about him and his wife, while you watch the story unfold of a city college art major girl with a cowboy bull riding guy. You don't know how the two stories go together until the end of the book.

Beauty Favorites

I wore this nail combination this month. China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy on every other nail, then I got Torrid Nail Polish in Neo Green. This reminded me of the summer. I have been ready for summer to start. Torrid is where I get my plus size clothing. They also sell nail polishes. And it was good quality.

Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs, and Rose Water: I have been using this spray before I put on makeup to moisturize my face. It smells good, and feels good on my face.

My list is short this month. I hope you had a good month.

April Favorites

Favorite Movie

The Longest Ride: I just got done reading a Nicholas Sparks' book, so I was in the mood to see this movie. I am reading the book now. It is a really sweet love story. Actually, two love stories. I heard someone say that you are a push-over if you like these kinds of movies. I don't think so. What's wrong with liking a sweet love story? It is inspiring to read or watch these kinds of stories because you can hope that something like this can happen in your own life.

Favorite TV Show

Fated to Love You: Here is another love story. It is a K-Drama. Remember I watched my first one last month? They are very cute! This is a lot like the one I liked last month. The girl is nerdy, the guy is rich and crazy. There are two love triangles. The girl and guy get drugged and end up sleeping together! She gets pregnant, and he is supposed to have an heir, so they decide it would be best if they get married. I haven't finished watching it, but it seems like they are going to fall in love. The show is funny, but it is also dramatic. But it isn't so dramatic that it makes me depressed at all.

Favorite Book

This book was so good! I have read The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. His books are very easy to read, and they are just sweet, simple, love stories. It sort of teaches you how a good relationship goes. Something to hope for or to inspire you. The girl is starting over in a new town. She has a mysterious past. The book reveals what she is running from, and you can compare her new life with her old life. It gets really exciting! There is a surprise ending. I didn't see it coming.

Beauty Favorites

Elf Poreless Face Primer: I think this does a good job. It is inexpensive, and I used it all month. It makes the foundation go on smoothly.

Lush Happy Hippy Shower Gel: I got this in my surprise package from my friend. I had sent her a Lush goodie box, so she sent one to me. It had Spring bath things. This is my favorite thing in the box. It smells like grapefruit. I love the way this smells, and feels.

The Balm Balmsai Palette: It says, "We like our boys like we like our brows...in shape!" This is an eyeshadow and brow palette. It comes with stencils for your eyebrows, and eyeliner stencils! I think this helps me to do an eyeliner wing that matches. This was on sale on Hautelook. I don't know why I am a sucker for The Balm on Hautelook. I really don't need any more palettes.

Milani Color Statement Lip Liner in Nude: I think this is a Kylie Jenner type color. It is a matte nude. It looks like my lips but better.
