Beauty Haul

This past month I have been trying extremely hard to limit my spending and this includes beauty products. I have only bought four beauty related products this month which is a huge accomplishment as I could easily double that in just one week. The following are the four pieces I picked up, enjoy!

• Bath & Body Works 'Sweet Pea' Shower Gel
• Herbal Essences 'Totally Twisted' Curl Scrunching Gel
• Bath & Body Works 'Warm Vanilla Sugar' Shower Gel
• Love & Beauty NUDE Eyeshadow Palette

10 Travel Hacks

It's no secret that traveling can be stressful and overwhelming. With these few simple tips, tricks, and hacks hopefully your adventure will go a little more smoothly!

1. Wear a night moisturizer on long flights, it is extra hydrating and will help your skin in the process.
2. Infinity scarves are a must have. If you are changing climates or unsure of the temperature of your plane throw on an infinity scarf, they are great for when you are cold and can even be used to block sunlight while taking a nap or needing some shut eye.
3. Store chargers and power cords in an old sunglass case. You will know exactly where they are while not cluttering your purse or carry-on.
4. Use a pill container to store and sort your jewelry such as rings, chains and earrings.
5. Wear your heaviest shoes and coat on the plane, not only will this save room in your luggage but your coat can double as a comfy pillow.
6. Instead of bringing a blush, brightener or lipstick try a tint such as Benefits 'Benetint' that works as both a lip and cheek stain.
7. Make sure to pack a spare outfit in your carry on, no one ever thinks their luggage will be lost but it happens. Its better to be safe than sorry.
8. Wear layers during your flight. Temperature can change in the blink of an eye whether that be outside, in the airports or on your flight. Traveling can be stressful enough, no need to add uncomfortable to the list.
9. Roll your clothing if you have the opportunity, you would be surprised how much more you will be able to fit or in some cases bring back home with you.
10. Be prepared for worst case scenarios. I know it is scary to think about but it will be ten times scarier if you had nothing planned in advance.

I would love to know what tips you have for traveling as I plan on doing a lot of it this summer! Leave a comment letting me know!

What I Know For Sure

Recently I have been pushing myself to take the time to reflect, write down and share with you all lessons these past 21 years have taught me.

1. Cherish the ones you love, they can be gone in the blink of an eye.
2. Paradise is not a place, its a state of mind.
3. Love is the greatest gift you can give.
4. Don't judge people, everyone has their own stories and struggles.
5. Be honest with yourself and with others.
6. Don't talk bad about someone, it only reflects on the person you are.
7. Respect is not given, it is earned.
8. Do what makes you happy, not what society or your peers want you to do.
9. Always be kind, everyone is facing their own battles.
10. Trust takes a long time to build and can be broken in seconds.
11. Always go with yourself, never against yourself.
12. Free yourself from negative people.
13. Words can hurt just as much as actions.
14. Give compliments often, it can transform someone's day.
15. Your heart is your best compass.
16. Relationships are meant to help you, not hurt you.
17. Lies only exist if we believe them.
18. Jealousy and insecurity are ugly and will eat up your own beauty.
19. Always smile, it can open many opportunities.
20. Always tell the ones you love that you love them.
21. Have confidence in yourself.

I encourage you all to take a moment and reflect on your own life lessons and share this with your friends, family, co-workers or blog audience. You never know who needs to hear one of these lessons to help get them through their day.
