Bath and Body Works Halloween!

Yes, the title says it all, Bath and Body's Halloween Collection....is BACKKKK! As you may know, I absolutely love Halloween. It is my favorite holiday, and I pretty much buy any cutesy thing that has to do with Halloween. I think the only reason why I love it so much is because I'm a really weird person haha. Anyway, back to what I was talking about. They have many new scents this year. They actually have a whole new line devoted to Autumn. It is called The Perfect Autumn. Now I can talk about this line forever and a day, but I'm going to sum it up for you guys! These are my own personal opinions from when I smelled these products. This line has a Shower Gel, Body Lotion, and Body Splash for each scent.

The first scent is called Ginger Vanilla. Now I'm not much of a ginger person but I actually liked this scent. It was very light and it had a nice hint of vanilla which I believe evened out the ginger smell.

The next scent is called Harvest Berry. This scent isn't just all berries, I can smell a really small hint of Jasmine and a citrus smell. Its delicious (:

Leaves is probably my favorite scent. It is such a warm and cozy scent. It makes me just want to grab a blanket, a hot cup of tea, and curl up with a book! You can smell apple, cinnamon, berries, and spices (YUMMY!(:) in it. Hence why it is my favorite!

The next item they have brought back with a twist is the Pumpkin Antibacterial Foaming Soap. The scent it vamped up now, it is the same pumpkin smell, but the added a touch of cinnamon which makes it amazing. Also, they re-did the soap bottle and instead of the anti-bacterial beads in it, it is now a foaming soap. They still have the old soap but I prefer the new one.The old soap is on the left and the new soap is on the right.

Another cute item on my Halloween list, is the comfy socks they came out with. They have the most adorable colors and the softest I've ever felt.

They have brought back old favorites too, such as the wall flower plug ins. They have several designs, a Ghost, a Jack-o-Lantern, and a Haunted House. I could only find the picture of the Jack-o-Lantern thought. "/

They have also added a few more things such as shower puffs (to clean with), scentables, and Figurine Candles. They are pretty adorable. Now I could get into detail about all the scents, but I would probably just bore you guys so here is the list of them instead. There is Cinnamon Pumpkin, Spiced Cider, Vanilla Caramel, Pumpkin Patch, and Fresh Balsam.

Time Travelers Wife

So today I saw the new movie called The Time Travelers Wife. I have got to say that it is now one of my favorite chick flicks next to the notebook. I thought it was so adorable but yet heartbreaking. Its about a girl named Claire (Rachael McAdams) and when she was younger there was a "Time Traveler" that used to always somehow end up in her meadow where she played. Henry (Eric Bana), who is the time traveler, could not control his ability to travel. So it would happen at random times and when he would travel he would always show up naked at places. The little girl (Claire) became used to him showing up randomly. So, she started leaving clothes out for him so he wouldn't be naked. Over time he became her best friend. In real life Henry was actually traveling into the past, so in real time Claire is the same age as him. He works in a library and one day the bumped into each other. She remembers him but he doesn't remember her because he is visiting her in the future (I know hard to follow right?). So she asks him out to dinner and explains everything. He then realizes what is going on and after being with her he falls in love with her. Then they have a child and all the other events happen over time. I won't get too into the movie on my blog because I don't want to give away any special parts (: I highly recommend this movie! The only thing about the movie is you have to be into watching it. If you don't really care about the movie you won't be able to follow it very well and you could get very easily confused. Other than that I loved it, it makes me want to go and read the book very badly! This movie is a tad bit similar to The Notebook so if you liked that movie you'll LOVE this one! Plus it has the same actress that was in The Notebook, now I must say I love her acting. She is so real in all the films she's in and you can tell she's a hard working actress and really gets into her part!

An adorable Fall hairstyle.

So lately I've been playing around with my hair and I found a super cute hairstyle. Its using medium sized rollers and then braiding your bangs (or layer(s)) back or a few small braids around the head. I found that this is a super flirty look and I found that I get a lot of complements when I wear my hair this way. If you look at the picture to the right of Blake Lively (Serena from Gossip Girl) the hairstyle I do is pretty much identical. The reason you use the rollers instead of blow drying or straightening the hair is because the rollers give the hair more volume. The volume adds the beautiful bouncy texture, it also creates a cute flip out of the hair at the bottom. I'm going to explain how to do this hairstyle as well as I can online.

1. First brush out any tangles you have in your hair.
2. Then apply a heat protecting spray all over your hair and comb through.
3. Once you have done that now section your hair out in fours.
4. Clip back all but one section of hair, so the one section is easy to work with.
5. Then take about 1 1/2 inches of hair from that section and put the roller in.
6. Repeat until you finish all sections.
7. Once your hair is all in the rollers lightly mist hairspray over the top of the rollers.
8. Then sit about 10-15 minutes or until your rollers cool to spray it with hairspray once again and then take them out.
9. When you have all of your hair down run your fingers lightly through it a couple times or if your hair is likely to get greasy by the end of the day then shake your hair out a few times.
10. Once that is done you can spray it once more with hairspray just to settle the style.
11. Then braid your bangs, layers, or pieces of your hair the way you want to braid the.
12. Now your finished! Lightly mist a shine spray all over your finished style and your ready to go!

Update!

Hey everyone! This post won't really have to do with beauty but it'll just be an update/vent about my life. So I was gone for a weekend to celebrate my 16th birthday! Woot! It was awesome I had so much fun I was up at the lake with the people I love to be around! I had a great time. Then I came home on Sunday, then on Monday the 27th I started school. I love my schedule and everything is great! I am a Junior in High school this year so this will probably be my toughest year. So I apologize in advanced because I might not be posting as much because I'll be having a lot of homework.
Wow, so this is kinda off subject but I have a legit stalker at my school, no joke. Its kind of starting to freak me out a bit, like to the point where I make sure I'm in a group when I walk to my next class. This kid is such a creep and doesn't take a hint! This grosses me out when I say this but, sadly I used to like him (when he was normal!) but he got all weird on me and was saying very sexual things to me that weren't normal like they were just creepy and gross!!! Finally I was just like that's it your a freak and stopped talking to him and started ignoring his text messages. Well, that plan FAILED MISERABLY because I stopped texting him but he still sent me FIVE texts a day and let me remind I did NOT I repeat did NOT reply to him at all. This went on for a month before I finally said something I just told him very politely I did not want to talk to him anymore (well not in those exact words but you get the point!) That maybe worked for a week then he started texting me again and he actually had the NERVE to ask me if my dad's business would sponsor his soccor time? In my head I was like Uhm NO! I know I sound really mean writing this but I swear I'm not mean! If you met this kid you would completely understand! Anyway, back to him actually stalking me. Last year in school I didn't seem him once during school. This year I see him everywhere! No joke, I see him every time I walk to class and he is always almost behind me. Its like he tries to find me. He pretty much knows my schedule now! I was walking to my medical career science class and he popped out of no where when I was alone and came running yelling my name to give me a hug. I didn't want to be mean so I gave him a hug back then I found my friends that were walking in front of me thank god and made a bee line toward them. I found out that he only targets me when I'm alone! Another weird thing is he walked up to my best friend at lunch when she wasn't with me and started talking to her about me, how I am, where I am, and why I haven't been responding to me. I almost walked over there to stand with her in the lunch line until I saw him over there; she said it was super creepy they way he was talking! Sorry guys I'm probably boring you with this but I needed to vent! Plus I have no idea what to do, do you guys have any advice for me and how to tell him to back off without making a scene???
Okay now on to something else haha, I haven't gotten my drivers license yet because I'm going to take a drivers ed so I'm better at driving then I'll be getting my license woo hoo! (: Oh and also today I applied at the Sprouts grocery store near me! I'm really anxious because I won't know if I'll get accepted to work there until a month or so! Haha it was so sad I went to get a application at a grocery store really close to me like so close I could walk and they totally rejected me! Haha the guy was like " I'm sorry but we aren't hiring right now, you could go apply over there at the computer (in a snotty tone he said that)! So I walk over there and the computer is completely broken! I was kinda sad ): Haha oh well the people who were working there were kind creepy anyway! I'm going to stop rambling now! Thank you for whoever actually read this whole blog! God bless you ! (:

UPDATE! I found out that my stalker is stalking other girls too! I feel like we should start a club or have a secret code word or something when they need to get away from him! Hahahaha

Forth of July Make-up!

Happy Forth of July! Hope you everyone has a great and safe weekend! I love fireworks (: Sorry this is a day late, for some reason yesterday blogger would not cooperate and I couldn't get the pictures up! ): Now I did a quick look but I'm in Hastings, Nebraska visiting my grandparents so I didn't have all of my make-up sadly ): So I tried my best with what I have!

Products I used:

Urban Decay Sustainable Palette (The colors Uzi and Kitty Pool)
Hot Mama Blush (Used as a blush and eyeshadow)
Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Yeyo
Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Liner in Spandex Maybelline Lash Stiletto

First I applied Hot Mama Blush (as an eye shadow), all over my lid. Then I took the color kiddie pool and applied that into my crease. After, I took Uzi and tapped my eyeshadow on the side of my wrist to get most of the glitter fall out off the brush. Then I applied into the inner corners of my eye. Then I took a slanted eyeliner brush and took Uzi and did the same tapping motion and applied it on my lower lash line. Once I was done with that I took Yeyo and applied to my waterline. Once that was done I applied my mascara. Then I took my heavy metal glitter liner and put some onto an eyeshadow brush, then I patted onto the color kiddie pool. Now your finished (: I hope you enjoy this look and I apologize for it being late and not that creative.

P.S Click on the pictures to make them bigger! (:

Are you trying to eat healthier?

A lot of New Year's resolutions to eat healthier or diet have probably already been broken, but don't worry there is still time to save it! I have found some great ways to get yourself out of a craving. All you have to do is distract yourself! It has helped me win over the TOUGHEST cravings like a hot fudge cookie sundae or a brownie!

Having a craving??? To get rid of it try...

Going on a bike ride
Taking a bath
Looking at a fitness magazine
Workout
Taking your dog for a walk(Fido will really appreciate it! (:)
Watching a movie
Looking at at Victoria Secret Swim Suits online
Brew a cup of tea
Drink a glass of water (sometimes when you feel hungry you really aren't your just thirsty, your body can get those too confused sometimes)
Turn up your music and start dancing like crazy
Go Swimming
Do your nails
Think of something gross about what your wanting to eat (Then it'll gross you out and you won't eat it)

Just think of anything to keep you distracted and sure enough you'll forget about your craving! Another thing I like to do is think of how bad I'll feel after I eat it and if its really worth it and if your STILL craving it then just go ahead and have a piece of the dang thing, but just make it a small serving.

Almond & Rose Bath Wash

I found a delicious smelling bath wash! Its homemade too, so its all organic and YOU know how its made so no need to worry if its harmful to you or the environment! All the ingredients are easy to find and the recipe is easy to make! I have two books of recipes so I'll be posting beauty recipes more often (:

Ingredients:

1 ounce of Sweet Almonds
1/4 ounce of Bitter Almonds
3/4 cup of Rose water
1/4 teaspoon of Epsom Salt

Directions:

Pound the almonds with a mortar and pestle until a paste is formed. Do not let them "oil." Add the remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. Pour the mixture into a bottle, cork tightly, and put aside for future use. To use, add 2 tablespoons of the liquid to your bath water.

When I have the words like this, it means I copied it exactly from the book and I'm giving credit to them (: The book is called Bath & Beauty Splash and its by Harriet Hubbard Ayer. You can find it at Barns and Noble. I bought mine for only eight dollars and it has 100 recipes! Also in case you do not know what a Mortar and a Pestle is it looks like this.
