Hair of the day!

Yes, that's my crazy face up there but I just wanted to share my hair from earlier. I braided on each side of my part and stopped half way. Then I took those two pieces and did my hair half up half down. It's hard to tell but you get the idea.

Plus I think I look ridiculous (and cute ;] ) and I wanted to share it with you!

Thursday: Social Media

So my recent love on the social media scene has been Pintrest. If you don't know what it is, it is literally like having a virtual cork bored for pictures of anything and everything. It can get a little addicting. You can like the "pins" of others, follow other people and repin what they put on their sites. You can also have separate boards for different things. For example, if you wanted to have a clothing board, a interior design board, and anything else.

Here is a picture of one of my boards:

The set up is really sleek and simple which I love and it lets the colors in the pictures pop so much more :)

Another site that I had discovered a while ago and just went back to is 750words.com It is this great site where you can write freely. It is sort of like an online journal. It keeps track of how many days you write, if you write everyday in a row, how many words, and much more. The goal is to write at least 750 words a day. It is a open white space so it is really easy to start typing and get carried away. You can earn badges on the site too for how much writing you do, how fast, etc.

One of the best things about this site is that it takes note of the things you write about, they call it "your subconscious"-- what your mood seems to be while writing, words you write a lot, and it sort of gives you a look into the type of writing you do. Sometimes an entry will be more negative and it will tell you that. It notes how much you swear, or how positive you're being. It is incredible how much you can learn.

The layout is very minimalistic. I think it is a great way to get motivated to write, and learn about yourself in the process. I really want to try to get into this for real.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Bobbi Brown Haul 1/26

So today I had my first physical therapy and I figured in honor of that and since tomorrow is my birthday :-D I would go pick up some stuff I wanted at the Bobbi Brown counter. I haven't tried out all of it yet but I still think I'm in love. So the first thing I bought and the original reason I went was a new foundation. This winter weather is killing my skin and while my moisturizers are great, my foundations I found too drying. So I wanted to try their Tinted Moisturizing Balm. I got the color medium.

I tested it on the back of my hand just to see the consistency and I'm in love. It is so creamy but it absorbs right away. The moisture it has is awesome too. I think I've found my go-to winter foundation :) Then I heard a few days ago that the Rose Gold collection came out and I died. I sort of wish they came out with eye shadows but alas they did not. I picked up one of the lipsticks though and I'm sold. The color is Beige Gold, and it is so pretty. I couldn't get a good picture of the swatch on my hand or lips, the light in my room isn't good enough.

Lastly, I picked up one of the two shimmer bricks that was in the collection. I think the other one was Wild Rose, but I got the Rose Gold one and it can be used as eye shadows.

Here is a swatch on my finger when you mix all the colors in the brick together.

I definitely can't afford to do a lot of Bobbi Brown shopping, but her products are completely worth it. Sometimes I wish I could work for the company just so I could have one of everything she's ever made haha Hope you enjoyed!
