A Day in Brooklyn
Good morning everyone! I was so tired last night. Fell asleep earlier than expected, sorry for not posting! Below are a few pictures we took in Brooklyn when Skeena was here. I adore the colors of this street art mural, it's even more vibrant and amazing in person (plus it's massive!). If you don't know much about New York, Brooklyn is about a 10 minute subway ride from Manhattan and it's where a lot of people, who work in the city, live. The rent is a lot cheaper and the environment is a lot more chilled out (no high rises, traffic, ambulances etc).
My favorite part of Brooklyn is Williamsburg (Bedford ave subway stop). It's mainly one street lined with small quirky shops as well as lots of little random street stalls, cute restaurants with an array of street art. What I love most about this place though, are the people's sense of style. It's a mix of London 'street' meets fresh prince of bel air. Very funky cool people, love it. We spent about three hours walking around and had lunch at Juliette, which has a nice terrace upstairs for the summer time. For those of you wondering, my jeans are from TopShop, my sunnies from Nasty Gal and my scarf & jacket from Zara.

Indestructible Nails
Hi beautiful! Hope you're day is going good. As mentioned in my February Favorites, I've been loving UV nail polishes for the past few months. I love having my nails done at all times, and coming across this polish, which is pretty much indestructible, has been amazing! I feel like this deserves a little blog post for itself simply because it lasts for about two weeks, and looks fab.
![]()
The range of colors available for shellac at my nail place is pretty limited so I haven't tried out too many. My favorite one however, is definitely "Decadence" which is the one I'm wearing in the pictures shown above. It's this gorgeous deep red wine color. I've had this color a few times and I adore it. Another nice red is called "Wildfire" which is more of a lighter, orangey toned red. I also like "Gotcha" which is a really pretty nudey pink color (not as bright as it appears in picture below).
![]()
PROS
CONS
![]()
In my opinion, the pro's outweigh the con's, but this is because the shellac holds really well on my nail type. As mentioned, my cousin (and two other friends of mine) cannot wear this for more than a few days as it peels off, so either it will be a major hit or a miss. I recommend trying it and see how it holds! :) I don't think I'll go back to wearing regular nail polish any time soon because it's a hassle when it chips after just 1-2 days. My uber stylish mom (who does dishes every night) loves it too :) I hope they come out with some new colors soon!
Have you guys tried it? How does it hold on your nails? Let me know in the comments below! XOXO
P.S. For those of you wondering, this is not a sponsored post! Get my shellac done at a nail salon by my apartment :)
- Long lasting (10-14 days no chipping)
- Super shiny and glossy color
- Allows your nails to grow out
- Doesn't damage your nail as there's no buffing of the nail involved
- Resembles regular polish (doesn't look "thick" on your nail like traditional gel polishes)
CONS
- More pricey than a regular manicure
- It holds differently on everyone's nails (for me it lasts a long time, but on my cousin for instance, it peels off within a few days so it depends on your nail type)
- It takes about 5-10 minutes to soak off
- Color range isn't the best (but they have the classics!)

Good morning beautiful♥ It's a gorgeous sunny day here in New York! Just about to start getting ready to film and going through some of the comments from the video I posted yesterday which I did with Skeena. You guys are amazing :) I'm happy you liked it and that you got to see a different side of me than you're probably used to :) We had a lot of fun filming it.
On another note, I've been really into Instagram lately and have been posting pictures more often these days. Below are a few from the past two weeks! I'm a sucker for all those filters lol they make the pictures look so cool. I especially like taking pictures of the things I eat as a lot of you ask me about healthy food ideas :) Are you guys on Instagram? If so leave me your username below in the comments! I hope everyone has a fabulous start to the day! XOXO

New Earrings
Hi beautiful! Hope you're doing good. Had a few errands to run this morning and then mostly stayed in editing the rest of the day. This next video will be on my favorite skin care products. I am obsessed with my current skin care products, so I can't wait to share them with you all. In the video I'm wearing these earrings I found a few days ago in Aldo for $15! They have a beautiful vintage feel to them and I find them so glam. I love the accessories at Aldo. Just as with Forever 21, you can find a few bits in there that look much more expensive than what they actually are. That's half the fun in shopping! You definitely don't need a lot of money to dress well these days if you know where to shop! For those of you wondering, my necklace is from Forever 21, my blouse from H&M and my lip gloss is Crystal Lilac by Revlon :)

Favorite Skin Care Products
I'm not even going to lie, I have a lot of skin care products lol but I love them all and each serves a different purpose - imagine how hard it is to travel :) I need a checklist and separate bag :) But with that said, as mentioned in the video, skin care is just a small percentage of having good skin. Most of it (to me personally) comes down to what I eat. If I have a bad food week, I'll be paying for it a few days later! Foods that absolutely brake me out are dairy products, chocolate and any salty foods (more on that here).
These products are mostly geared towards people with combination/oily acne-prone skin. You can definitely minimize breakouts and oiliness by eating correctly and using the right skincare for your skin type. I hope you find this video helpful!

Microdermabrasion
As mentioned briefly in the video, I love getting professional microderms. It's really helped improve the oiliness of my skin, thus the breakouts. It also makes my skin feel baby smooth and soft. It is pretty intense, so if you have super problematic sensitive skin, I would wait till it heals up first. But for anyone with acne scars, hyper-pigmentation or oily skin I definitely recommend trying it! (I do it about once a month, and the cost is around $50-$70.)
Scrubs
I exfoliate my skin every 2-3 days with the products mentioned in the video. Using a toner with salicylic acid (like the acne dote by Alba), will act as an exfoliant as well as the salicylic acid reaches down into the pores and cleans them out. I tone my face daily.
Going wheat & dairy free (read this)
Cutting out dairy was no problem for me, but the wheat is harder. I've cut down about 90% of the amount of wheat I used to eat before and it's made a big difference in not only my skin, but my body! My body feels a lot more "slender", as in I don't feel bloated anymore. Wheat can really swell up your body, and I've totally been enjoying this wheat free body of mine now. I will still have the occasional wheat, but I make sure it's whole grain, brown etc. My skin get's less oily I find when I don't eat wheat.

Shrimp, Cucumber and Mint
Today was such a gorgeous day here in New York. Spent most of it outside, soaking up the sun. Hopefully I'll be able to go for a nice run this weekend if the weather stays like this, the first outdoor jog of the year :) lol very excited. I also had a microdermabrasion done today which, as mentioned in my skin care video, I've been loving! Think I'm becoming slightly obsessed (in a good way), the texture of my skin is just so smooth and soft. I love it. It's great for people with oily skin, or who suffer from acne scars or skin discoloration.
Anyway it's been a while since I shared a food log entry, so here is one from today! :)

Neon Pink Lips
In celebration of today's amazing spring weather, I decided to wear this bright pink lipstick from OCC which I purchased back in October at Sephora. This color is called "Anime" and is pretty much the brightest neon pink lipstick I own. The best way to describe an OCC lip tar is like "liquid lipstick". It comes in a tube-like packaging along with a little brush. The consistency and longevity of this lipstick is really nice but this was the only shade I really loved on my lips (the nude ones just looked to pale for my skin tone). Have you tried any of their shades? If so which one?
I first apply a small amount to the back of my hand, then use a Real Techniques detailer brush to apply it to my lips. The consistency is pretty liquidy (yet very pigmented), so it works great with a brush and it will give you a nice control of the color. It's not ideal for touch ups however, since I'd have to bring along the brush. Overall, I'm just obsessed with this color, so fun for spring! MAC's "Girl About Town" & "Candy Yum Yum" are very similar in color and I love those too. (There are also other dupes for this shade found at the drugstore by brands like Wet n Wild and Revlon.) What do you guys think of this color? XOXO

From Me, To Me.
Hi my beautiful. These past few days I've been a bit "under the weather" to say the least. No matter how ill I might be, I never stop being "me", I still get up and try to pull myself together - brush my hair, apply some makeup and do something which will make me feel good - it makes the healing process more bearable :)
In life, we all go through issues with our friends and our significant others - it's inevitable. We all have relationship issues we wish we didn't. But even during the toughest times, I always remind myself that I am the most important person in my life, and even though I compromise and sacrifice for people I love, I never want to forget myself. My mom and grandmother always taught me to be independent. Every girl loves to be treated nicely (and deserves to if they're a good person), I love romance and flowers and little thoughtful gifts as much as the next. But something which came to my attention recently is, if you want those flowers and if you feel like those flowers will make you feel better, go buy yourself some flowers - don't wait around for someone else to bring you happiness. If you want that beautiful car or those new shoes, work hard and earn money to buy it for yourself. Taking care and providing for yourself is one of the most powerful things you can do in life, especially as a woman.
Life is absolutely beautiful - focus your time and thoughts on those people who show you that (and forget the rest). Remember that people will come in and out of your life, but the only person who will always be there, is you. Celebrate yourself every single day. Today was just one of those days. The roses look gorgeous, and they're from me to me ♥ I hope this will help anyone who's dealing with or has dealt with something similar in the past. I'm going to be bedridden for the next couple of days but will be back soon with some new content. Love you guys! XOXO

- Bring Q-tips with you to remove mascara buildup in eyes
- Wear a primer if you’re going to be out all day
- Apply your foundation in natural sunlight to see true color
- Avoid touching your face (bacteria, blotchy - use tissue)
- When blotting, first soak up oil with tissue - then re powder
- Choose a blue-red lipstick to help your teeth look white – use crest 3D white strips
- Nude lips are so pretty - but go for the color that’s already on your lips (not scary nude, ghostly)
- Use a color on your lower lash line to make your eye color pop (purple, green)
- Use a highlighter - it makes your skin glow and look dewy like real fresh skin
- Don’t forget to smile!! :)

Recent Hair & Makeup
Here's a closer look at the makeup I was wearing my latest video! I've been loving "YDK" eyeshadow from my Urban Decay Naked 2 palette recently - it's such a pretty rose gold color. I like deepening the outer corner using "Tease" from the same palette and then smoking out a darker brown on my lower lash line. I recently bought the new YSL Touch Eclat Foundation (shade B60) which I have been so in love with! It's a very natural looking foundation since it's not fully matte. I powder down my T-Zone and leave the rest of the face looking slightly dewy. The blush I'm wearing is called "Melba" from MAC which is a great staple blush to have. It looks great on a lot of skin tones. My lipstick is "Fairest Nude" from L'Oreal with "Piree" lip gloss from NARS - love this combo. As for my hair, I just threw it up into a big top bun (usually my go to hairstyle on bad hair days). I show you how I do it in the end of this video - just fast forward a bit :)

South Beach
Hi beautiful ♥ I hope everyone is doing well. It's been forever since I've shared some personal every-day pictures with you. I have to admit I haven't been the best blogger as of late. I will get back into it soon though! Thanks for still visiting my blog & for your sweet comments :) it means a lot! Last weekend, my boyfriend and I headed to Miami for a couple of days to soak up some sunshine. Even though it was a super short trip (planned literally moments before departure), it was so worth it. We stayed right on the beach and took in the gorgeous views. The ocean was the prettiest shade of turquoise and the water was nice and warm. I love swimming in salt water as it really helps to clear up your skin (try this face mask here). The weather was so perfect, not as hot or humid as I had expected.

Parasailing was scarier than what I thought, but so fun :) I think I screamed all the way up to the top
But once we were up, we took in the scenic views ♥ very pretty

Part of the south beach boardwalk - we went running here in the morning
Gorgeous turquoise blue waters
One of the pools at the Fontainebleau.
The hotel was nice but super busy! Great for a group of friends, but next time we will most likely stay somewhere more quiet :)
Felt so nice going makeup free for a few days to let my skin breath :)

Sandals from Aldo, shorts from F21, purse Chanel
& my love's red lace loafers are by SSENSE :)
We went on a tour of the everglades on an airboat ride and saw live crocodiles and alligators
We literally zoomed over all these grassy areas as the boat pretty much hoovers over the water
The first alligator we saw :)
After the boat ride we watched this mini alligator show where our tour guide explained more about these animals
He was so soft! 2 year old little baba (but yes I was a little scared lol)
This was a live crocodile we passed whilst walking through the park

Minimalistic Fresh-Face Makeup
Hi everyone, happy Sunday! My new video is finally up :) I hope you enjoy this minimalistic makeup tutorial. I have lots of little blemishes on my face, but sometimes it's nice to not have to cover everything up. Even though in the pictures below do my skin a lot more justice, it's pretty uneven in real life. My point is, sometimes it's nice to let our real skin peek through and not clog it up with too many products. As mentioned in the video, I don't use liquid foundation on an every day basis and stick to my Studio Fix as it gives a pretty full coverage look without the "heavy" feeling.

The face mask I've been loving recently is this Sulfur Cooling Masque by Peter Thomas Roth. I bought it last summer, but recently rediscovered it in my beauty cabinet a few weeks ago. I feel like it really gets into my pores well and I've been using this about every 2 days for 10-15 minutes each time. It tingles for the first 5 minutes or so and it feels so nice. It helps to immediately "depuff" any blemishes. This will definitely be in my May Favs.
And below are a few pictures taken after filming. The mascara I use, Lash Doubling by Clinique, will forever stick with me! No other mascara can give lashes like it can. Love.

Prom Worthy
Want to share some quick behind-the-scenes pictures from a show I hosted a couple of days ago called Prom Worthy, which will be airing on Channel 9 - Nine West's YouTube channel in about a month or so. It was my first time working with a crew where I had "lines" to memorize " :) I'm so used to doing everything on my own, so for instance if I mess up it's fine - no pressure. But this time I had lots of people behind the camera so the feeling was definitely different. I was both excited and happy to be hosting but also a little anxious and nervous, just didn't want to mess up! :) But it all turned out great and it was a fun experience :)
The show was about giving deserving students from a high school in Queens, which was devastated by Hurricane Sandy, a prom makeover. So I got to interact with lots of students and help them pick out dresses (from Rent the Runway), shoes (from Nine West) as well as their hair & makeup (from Lancome). It was so good to see the looks on their faces :) I will share the episode with you guys when it airs.

The show was about giving deserving students from a high school in Queens, which was devastated by Hurricane Sandy, a prom makeover. So I got to interact with lots of students and help them pick out dresses (from Rent the Runway), shoes (from Nine West) as well as their hair & makeup (from Lancome). It was so good to see the looks on their faces :) I will share the episode with you guys when it airs.
With one of my lovely ladies! How pretty is her dress?
We still hadn't done hair & makeup at this point but she still looked stunning.
(My top is from Zara and shoes from Nine West)
I had a lovely makeup artist touching me up during the shoot :) So nice!
