I'm so excited!!!!! It's 8:44 PM on Sunday Night and I'm not going to sleep tonight because I'm leaving at 3:30 AM for the airport to go to New Jersey and New York. My heart is so happy! I'm going to be a nightmare tomorrow with no sleep and I'll probably be hating everyone but I'm still excited for it. Keep up with me on Twitter and Instagram for updates (@HRandPT)!

I wanted to do a series on packing for my trip because I always find these very interesting. I will be doing one on my suitcase, beauty products, and carry-on. I tried to make this as detailed as possible (After I took these pictures, my mom had me put the first pile of clothes in space bags. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of that.). The suitcase I have is from American Tourister a billion years ago.

I feel like this week went by so fast and I usually say that about every week. I'm just happy it's over and I have Thanksgiving break (not technically but I'm taking the whole week off). I'm going to be traveling and there will be some posts about that going up on my blog Monday - Thursday. These are some of my favorites from this week. Walking in NYC as a Woman | I just came across this video this week and I was immediately intrigued. I have been in this same situation before. Not just sexual harassment but harassment in general. Guys have honked their horns at me, shouted obscene and rude comments, as well as giving me a hard time about my height. I don't think they understand how much it affects women when they do that. It's also very tasteless. It's nice to give comments but keep it classy. Don't say something sexual. If you haven't seen the video, I've included it below. And personally I think guys don't have it as bad as women. Cold Weather | Now to something a lot happier. I love this time of year because of the holidays and the cold weather. It's finally starting to get cold in Florida and I absolutely love it. Unfortunately it won't stay like that for more than a couple of days. Now I'm heading to New Jersey and New York and the weather looks amazing. It could be a little colder but I'll try not to complain too much.  Holiday Sets | I love that makeup brands come out with holiday sets and I honestly wish I could get all of them. My favorites are from Tarte, MAC in Smokey Eyes and Beige Eyes, and Benefit. A little hint for those who are interested. xx

I wanted to do something fun for my blog today. I remember when this tag was going around YouTube many years ago and I decided to take into blog form. Now I am not saying that I'm perfect in any way, shape or form. I like something things about myself and I don't like things about myself.  And I'm fine with that.

Let me tell you a little bit about my skin. I have oily skin. After about 5 hours I would need to reapply powder and fix my eyeliner (very unfortunate). My acne used to be a lot worse on my forehead with a lot of scarring but thankfully it has cleared up significantly. I still get acne on my chin and my cheeks at that time of the month. A patch dark spots appeared on my left cheek at the end of April and still hasn't completely cleared up. I have no idea why it appeared but when I get stressed it ends up getting worse. I have a few dark spots on my chin and my right cheek but it's not as bad as my left one.

Hard to believe it's already Sunday. Where has the weekend gone? This week I started blogging again after a two week hiatus (:/). But I'm back. So everything is good :). Here is what I've been loving this week:


1989 | I can't not put this as one of my favorites. I don't think I have listened to anything else since it came out. I guess you can say I'm kind of obsessed. You can check out some of my favorite songs here. Maybe by next week I'll be obsessed with someone else's album. But for now, "we never go out of style".

Prescription Sunglasses | I have astigmatism in my left eye. What does that mean? I have no clue. But I'm supposed to wear my glasses to help correct it. I absolutely hate wearing them especially when it's sunny outside (and I can see perfectly without them). My mom gave me her old sunglasses and I got my prescription put in and I love them so much. I wear them more than I wear my normal glasses. And they help my vision as well. They are from Burberry but unfortunately it's discontinued.

CVS Deals | I guess you could say that CVS takes all of my money. They always have amazing deals and it probably makes it worse that I live right next to one. I recently got a deal on Sally Hansen Salon Insta Gel Strips for 75% off! I've never tried these before and it's cheaper then actually getting my nails done. I actually suck at putting nail polish on. There may be a review on this in the near future.

Portable Battery Charger | This is the best thing ever created. All you need are your USB cables. It can also charge an iPhone and iPad at the same time. I got the 6000 mAh version with two USB ports. It also makes the perfect gift. I plan on buying it for my dad. He travels a lot and he will love it for the plane and his car. I definitely recommend it.

I only just started to wear eyeshadow. I never really knew what to do and still don't. I keep it pretty simple with 3 colors, but what really makes it work is the eyeshadow. The first day I wore eyeshadow it creased so bad. Thankfully I was wearing glasses and no one could really see how terrible I looked. I definitely learned my lesson and headed to my local CVS in search of the perfect eyeshadow base. It wasn't easy. There are none (at least my CVS didn't have any). I then remember watching a YouTube video and someone used a cream eyeshadow for a base. I knew Maybelline had the Color Tattoos and decided to get two neutral colors for everyday wear. I fell in love!



They were both $6.99. Bad to the Bronze is a good color for a shimmery going out look. I definitely like Creamy Beige for everyday though. It also goes on a lot smoother because it is part of the Leather series.

Creamy Beige | Bad to the Bronze

My makeup stays all day with these bases and I couldn't ask for anything better. I definitely recommend trying these for yourself. And try some of their brighter colors if you're a little more bold with makeup.

Sorry this is super late. Got a little distracted last night and today.

New posts will begin again on Monday November 10th. I needed to take a short break from my blog to get readjusted to school. Posts will come Monday, Thursday & Sunday; hopefully at midnight but you never know. I hope you enjoy the new posts that will be coming soon!
