My Favourite Lip Balms

Hiii! :)

I cannot stand having dry lips, so I always have a large amount of lip balms handy. Especially now that winter is quickly approaching it's important to have a really good lip balm. There are so many that are greasy, or just don't do anything for my lips, but I have found some that I love. At the moment I have two favourites that I wear at different times;  Baby Lips from Maybelline and the Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant from Elizabeth Arden.



Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream Lip Protectant
 I generally use the Elizabeth Arden Lip Protectant before I go to sleep. This one doesnt have any SPF in it so I like to use it in the evening. I find that my lips can get really chapped overnight so I have been using this every night. You don't need a lot of it but it is amazing! It's a nice texture, and not greasy at all, although It does have kind of a strong scent that I know some don't like (but it doesn't bother me at all). When I wake up in the morning, my lips are nice and smooth. This would have to be one of my all time favourite lip products.
Baby  Lips
During the day I like to use Maybelline's Baby Lips. I used Quenched which is just a regular non-tinted balm with a fruity scent. Personally I am not the biggest fan of the tinted Baby Lips (I find them to be quite drying), but the non tinted ones are perfect. This one has SPF 20, so it's protecting your lips as well as hydrating. As you can see I am almost finished this one but I have bought another:P

This combination is fantastic and my lips rarely feel chapped/dry. If you are looking for a new lip balm I would definitely recommend both of these! Let me know what lip products you like to use:)
and I hope you all have a lovely day,

Some Good Music

Hiii:)

So today I thought I'd share some songs that I have been listening to a lot recently. It is currently midterm time at my university, and I find that listening to music is a great way to take a break from my studies. I can't listen to it while I study because I become so focused on the music instead of my work and I get nothing done. So instead I listen to it when I need to take a breather. I have narrowed it down to 15 songs (which was actually very difficult) and here they are:

Song title- artist

1) Chocolate-The 1975
2)Tennis Court- Lorde
3)Trouble- Ray LaMontague
4)A-Punk- Vampire Weekend
5)Wrecking Ball- Miley Cyrus
6)This Love- Maroon 5
7)Here Comes The Sun- The Beatles
8) These Streets- Bastille
9)Come on Eileen- Dexy's Midnight Runners
10)Beast of Burden-The Rolling Stones
11)Lets Make It- AC/DC
12)Best Song Ever- One Direction
13)Wake Me Up- Avicii
14)Berzerk- Eminem
15)The Wire- HAIM


These are in no particular order, and my taste in music is a tad random, but if I like a song then I like it, it doesn't matter what genre it is! I always enjoy reading posts like this. I find it interesting to see what kind of music people listen to, so I hope you liked this one :)
What music have you been listening? Let me know in the comments below,
and I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Favourite Perfumes

Hiiii! :)
Today I thought I'd share with you what my favourite perfumes are at the moment. My perfume collection is a bit ridiculous so I narrowed it down to the three that I have worn the most in the last little while. It actually was very easy picking the first two, but I did have some difficulty narrowing it down to three! Here they are:

The first one that I chose is Peace Love and Juicy Couture by Juicy couture.
 I have had this one for a while and I absolutely love it!! It has a light, floral scent and it just reminds me of sitting outside in a beautiful garden. I find it very refreshing. Now I have heard that a lot of people don't like this particular Juicy Couture perfume but I can't imagine why.Anyways I like it:P This is one of my favourite perfumes and I think the bottle is so gorgeous as well.
Peace Love & Juicy Couture 50mL
Another perfume that I had to pick is Our Moment by One Direction.
 This one is fairly new, so I haven't had it for too long (only a couple weeks) but it is amazing!! It is very different from the Juicy Couture one but I love it just as much! It is a mix of both fruity and floral scents, and it lasts a long time. I have been wearing this to school, to work, anywhere really. I also think that the lid is exquisite! This is definitely my kind of perfume.
Our Moment By One Direction 100mL
 I would have to say that the Juicy couture and 1D fragrances are the two that I have been wearing the most. I do however like numerous other perfumes. It was difficult to pick the third one because there are about three or four other perfumes that I do wear a lot and I had trouble picking just one. Finally I decided on Midnight Fantasy by Britney Spears.
Midnight Fantasy by Britney Spears 100mL
This perfume is an older one (I think it came out in 2006/2007) but I just got it a few months ago at Shoppers Drug Mart. It smells fantastic!! It has such a lovely scent I just want to eat it! It smells like berries but it's almost a candy-like smell. I do find it rather strong though so I only use a teensy bit at a time.

I hope you enjoyed this post, let me know what perfumes you like! In the future I might do a post/video on my perfume collection but we'll see. :)
I hope you all have a wonderful day,

Dream Journal

Hiiii everyone!

Lately I have become quite annoyed at the fact that I can NEVER remember my dreams. I am referring to when I am actually aware that I had a dream during the night, which in itself is rare. The moment I wake up I can recall it clearly but later in the morning (even 10 minutes later) the details are fuzzy, and I struggle to remember what happened. Sometimes I want to tell my friends or family about a dream I had because it was funny or weird or whatever the reason, but I just cannot remember it for the life of me!
For this reason I have decided to start a dream journal. I am aware that this may seem a bit odd to some people but I think it's a neat idea. Both my mom and one of my closest friends mentioned doing this and I figured I'd give it a try and  I have found the perfect journal! :)


I have actually had this journal for over a year, but I had no idea what to use it for. I didn't want to use it as my main journal as there are no lines and the pages are more difficult to write on than normal paper. For a dream journal though I thought this was perfect!
Now I am actually very lazy when it comes to journals. If I am writing a long entry, there are times when I may not even complete it. This being said, I am going to try my hardest not to be lazy with this one. It is sitting on my night table with a pen so that if I wake up and remember a dream I can write it down right away.
Let me know what you think of this idea, or if you have done this before, let me know how it went. :)
I hope you all have a lovely day

September! :O

Hiiii Everyone!

I'm sorry that I haven't made a new post in a while but the school year started and things are starting to get busy once again! But don't worry, I'm still here :P
 Last week I started my second year of university and although I was excited, I was also rather anxious. To be quite honest I had a horrible first year. I was extremely stressed, I hated my program, I spent many nights in tears and my marks were not the best. Over the summer I realized that I needed to try something different and so I changed programs and took courses that I actually will like. So far, I think that I have made the right decision because I am actually enjoying school now (hopefully it stays that way!)

I have also begun a new hockey season! I have been playing competitive hockey for 9 years now and I absolutely love it! Hockey is such a big part of my life and I am so thrilled that my season is finally starting. It`s just so much fun to be on a team. Plus it keeps me in shape and  is a really nice stress reliever too. We don`t actually have any league games until October, but there is a tournament next week which I am looking forward to, and I have an exhibition game tomorrow. :)

Between school, hockey and work the year can get really busy, and there are times when I just get extremely stressed, but I just need to remind myself that I am lucky to be given the opportunity to do things like go to school and join a sports team. My goal this year is to work hard, try new things, and stay optimistic even when it is super hard to do so.

I thought this was very fitting! always believe in your abilities :)
For those of you in school, I hope you have a successful year! Work hard, stay positive and good things will come :D
Have a wonderful day!

Finally got my hair done!! :D

Hiiiii everyone!! :)

I have FINALLY gotten my hair done! As mentioned before, I haven't gotten a hair cut in over a year...Yikes!!I decided a while ago that I wanted ombre hair, and so that's what I did.
Although it is something to get used to, I am absolutely in love with it! My hair dresser did a fantastic job and the colour is perfect! I am so happy with how it turned out:)
Let me know what you think about ombre hair,
and I hope you all have a wonderful day!  :)

DIY Flower headbands

Hiiiiii everyone! :)

Lately I have really been in to hair accessories. I purchased a few pretty bows and clips last week that I absolutely adore, but I was unable to find a flower headband that I really liked. A lot of the ones I saw were poor quality and I didn't want to waste my money on them.
So my friend and I decided to use fake flowers and headbands from Dollarama and create our own.


We pulled the flowers and leaves off the main stem, then used a hot glue gun to attach them to the actual headband. The whole process took about 10 minutes, and the final results were wonderful!
I would definitely recommend doing this. It's easy, cheap and doesn't take much time at all. Plus you can personalize it any way you want since you are making it yourself. :)

I hope you all have a wonderful day!!
