NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS 2014

I'm terrible at New Year's resolutions. I keep making them, but nothing will ever change unless I change my way of thinking. So that's my resolution. Change my way of thinking. 
It's not going to be easy, and it would probably be much easier to commit to a gym membership (blech, I hate the gym). However, I think that in order to become a healthy human being, our minds must be filled with positivity, and that's exactly what I need. This year has been a huge roller coaster, and sometimes I wish I had another life, any other life seems easier to live than this one that's laid out before me. It's easy to get lost in the negativity, but extremely hard to dig myself out of it. Depression kicks my butt sometimes, since I've been struggling with it for 17 years, but I won't let it get me down. I know that I can do this. And so can you.

I know a lot of you bloggers out there suffer with some form of depression or extreme anxiety, and even though most of you wouldn't say anything publicly, just know that it's okay. We all have our demons, and as long as we have a healthy outlet, we can fight it. We can do this.

My healthy outlets include blogging, playing with makeup, watching unhealthy amounts of Netflix, drowning my ears in music (Currently addicted to Anthem Lights! They're soooo good!), and just doing some quick work outs (10 minutes) to nix the bad feelings. 

Here's some Anthem Lights for your soul.

So here's to 2014. Bring it. I'm ready.

What are some of your resolutions for 2014? I'd love to know! Happy New Year, everyone! <3

NEW YEAR GLAM | Outfit Inspiration

Looking for some New Year Glam Outfit Inspiration? Well, I have one for you! It's sparkly and oh so chic. This look can easily be recreated with more affordable pieces. You'll need a statement dress like this sequined one by Gloria, some glam shoes and accessories to match. To anchor all the sparkling, I recommend some opaque black tights and a dark-colored blazer like this navy one from Topshop

All the pieces work so nicely together, creating a beautiful, glamorous look, perfect for celebrating the New Year, or even on a night out on the town! All eyes will be on you. Happy New Year! :)



What will you be wearing to celebrate the New Year?

CHRISTMAS MAKEUP AND NAILS | ROSE GOLD AND RED LIPS

Merry Christmas! It's here, finally, and at 12 AM, while I watch my family sleep, I think about how we have very little, but at the same time, we have everything we need. We have food, shelter, love, and a few presents. Some, have none of these things, and my heart goes out to all of those people. <3

My final Christmas look is a classic look with a subtle smoky eye and statement red lips. I threw my hair up in a messy bun that I tried to film, but that didn't work out too well. Clearly, I can't do hair tutorials, haha! The nails are simple, yet super festive. Hope you like it! :)
