The summer sun is out and ready to play!!! Which also means that us girls have tons of new excuses to shop! This week I had the chance to purchase a couple new goodies that definitely make my skin glow!

• Banana Boat Sunscreen Oil Spray
• Sephora by O.P.I
• Claires’ White Infinity Bracelet
• Claires’ Hot Pink Skull Bracelet

Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes

Today I decided to go beyond my baking horizons and create these pretty pink strawberry shortcake cupcakes! The golden cake and strawberry flavour complimented each very other well, and the sprinkles gave them that girly touch! 

Temporary Tattoos

I have been raised by parents who believe that expressing yourself through tattoos is untraditional. However; I am the black sheep and disagree, because I think a simple tattoo can distinguish yourself from the crowd. Due to these constant family debates around body modifications my parents decided to purchase girly glittery temporary tattoos for me. 

Which I guess is a great way to merge both of our opinions together.

Chic Bouquets

Receiving flowers for special celebrations is always a lovely gift! These photos are from relatives of mine, who show their appreciation through nature’s best gifts. These two bouquets were filled with glitter, roses, pink, and green! They are so effortlessly pretty!

Marc Jacobs’ Dot

After finishing my bottle of Vera Wang Princess, I was ready to purchase my next perfume! This time I settled for another Marc Jacobs’ consumer favourite called Dot. It is a charming scent that has touches of red berries, dragonfruit, honeysuckle, jasmine, coconut water, orange blossom, vanilla, driftwood, and musk. I can say that it is the perfect summer scent!

Blackberry Lemon Square

My parents recently celebrated a recent anniversary and as a gift I baked them my first tart! Even though it was risky of me, I baked them this beautiful lemon square with blackberries and icing sugar to detail! It was absolutely delicious!

Art Journaling

After the popular Wreck This Journal was published, experimental art journals have been introduced to many book stores. For instance, a new favourite of mine is Art Doodle Love by Dawn DeVries Sokol. This is a journal of self discovery that helps me reflect and plan my future with coloured pens and tons of glitter! So much fun!

Revlon Lash Potion Mascara

Pros

• A huge bristol brush, instead of the trendy plastic wands competitors are introducing. 
• Incredibly volume, pigment, and length for the price.
• A liquid formula which is easy to applicate. 
• The packaging of the bottle is gorgeous.

Cons

• Smudging after long wear. 
• The liquid formula takes a while to dry, before applying on bottom lashes.
• If not applied carefully and slowly, it can clump your lashes easily.

Final Review: 8/10

The Classic Chocolate Chip

Sometimes when you have too many options, you default and resort back to the originals. I made these scrumptious chocolate chip cookies to serve to friends at a party, and they were well consumed. It was also absolutely hilarious to watch party guests sneak around the table to grab a few.

Wants & Needs

Wants

• Annabelle Blue Eyes Custom Look Kohl Kit: I found this product after being suggested to pick up a navy and light blue eyeliner to make my eyes pop. This set was convenient and a great price too.
• Revlon Colorburst Crystal Lilac Lip Gloss: Due to a recent liking of Revlon products, I picked up a random lip gloss! The quality is great but don’t judge it on just a first quote.

Needs

• Maybelline Master Duo Black Lacquer Liquid Eyeliner: Wal-Mart didn’t have any of my go-to Loreal Liquid Eyeliners, so I resorted to this one. It does the job and I’m happy with the product.
• Revlon Blackest Black Lash Potion: I finished my Benefit They’re Real! Mascara and needed a desperate change! Instead of picking a mascara that was a customer’s favourite, I picked up the first new mascara that caught my eye.

Jugo Juice

I love designer smoothies, there I said it. I paid $7 dollars for this raspberry smoothie and it was throughly enjoyed. Plus, it makes me feel healthier because its full of great fruit and helps improve my memory.
