September Reads!

I've been anxiously awaiting both of these books and can't wait to start reading them. Dear Daughter by Elizabeth Little and Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty. Big Little Lies is part of the Birchbox Book Club this month.

New Skincare Routine!

Help your skin to look young and stay young with this skincare routine.

1. Cleanse - 2-3 different ones recommended. Oil, milk, balm, or gel based.

2. Toner

3. Mist (with no alcohol in it) - then wait a few minutes for it to dry before the next step. 

4. Eye Cream

5. Serum/rejuvenator - might have to wait a bit for the next step again. 

6. Moisturizer

One of my friends recently recommended this skincare routine after noticing that it did help her improve her skin. 

So, last night I stopped by Walgreens to pick up a few things to try.

I got the Loreal Youth Code Power Trio 3-Step System it comes with a cleanser,serum and day/night cream. Then, I got the  Loreal Toner and Loreal eye cream infused with Caffeine. I think this is a good start for trying out  this skincare routine and testing out drugstore products. Depending on how I like this, I may end up upgrading to better more high end products later on. If you'd like to start off with high end products though I recommend Origins, Philosophy, Shea Terra Organics, Vasanti and Dr. Jart. These brands can all be found at Birchbox.com 

Manchester Orchestra

Super Stoked for the release of Manchester Orchestra's new album COPE on April 1st. I've followed this band since their beginning and they never disappoint. Yet again another solid album I will inevitably be jamming on repeat for weeks, months and years to come.

Hello 2014

I found this cute little quote on Pinterest and I feel like it explains 2014 perfectly. These are my plans for 2014: 

Dream Big

Sparkle More 

Shine Bright 

So far 2014 is off to a great start! I recently celebrated my birthday with some of my closest friends, I got a job working as a producer on a film, GIRLS Season 3 is back on HBO, and I saw this wonderful film by Spike Jonze called HER. It is a beautiful film and I encourage everyone to go see it. HER is extremely audio/visual and Jonze does a superb job of making the audience feel raw emotion through this thought-provoking masterpiece. 

The possibilities are endless this year, and I plan to make the most of each day and live in the moment.
