This is one of those lucky-if-you-get-five-hours-of-sleep-a-night week. 

Or one of those can't-find-time-to-shower-or-eat-real-meals week. 

Which consequently makes Jean Paul's week into a why-did-I-marry-her kind of week... 

haha just kidding. Kind of. Poor guy.

However, there are a few bright spots in my day that help me keep my sanity!

The first one being my two new necklaces (thank you very much F21 sale) and my new nail polish that definitely wasn't on sale but was soo worth it because it's been on my nails for a whole 48 hours and still hasn't chipped!

My lovely yellow spider-mums that I purchased because it's been so lovely and warm I couldn't help bring some Spring into our apartment. 

Braids + Bows. 

It's kind of turned into my go-to when I don't have time to do my hair properly. And lets be honest, even when I do have time my hair usually gets put up. 

My sister showed me this song a few weeks ago and I'm just a little bit obsessed with it. 

And what better way to put a busy week in perspective than by starting to get involved in a movement like this? 

Suddenly my problems start seeming much, much smaller. 
Watch the whole video here.

Regina Spektor finally recorded an official version of this song and released it as a single today!

Don't worry, it's been on repeat. Love my Regina.

I've seen this on other blogs but I've never tried it before...

 

However a combination of having not done ANYTHING worth blogging about this week (I really don't think you want to hear about my job... or my genetics class... or the continuing spectacle of me helping in a research lab...)

  SO I've decided to leave you with a little link list and a promise that I really am ending this blogging drought of mine- so thanks for reading and bearing with me!

This is my current favorite website to browse through... Just really lovely, inspired pictures.

I'm still on the fence about this new cover I recently heard...

I think this woman is quite funny and enjoy reading her blog quite a bit...

Husband and I watched this little video last night and absolutely LOVED it... 

I would like this, and this, and this, thank you very much. 

Happy Wednesday! 

We have some big plans for this weekend and I just can't wait! What are you doing for the long weekend?

It's been a while since I posted a wedding photo... and I just love this guy so much!

I've received a few questions lately about what kind of lipstick I wear, so here are some of my favorites!

The Mean Reds:

MAC Ruby Woo (a classic)

*possibly the best matte red color ever created*

Maybelline's Coral Crush

*the title is misleading. I love this color because it goes on as a lighter, less intense red*

 

My Go-To:

MAC Vegas Volt

*I looooove this color. It's the perfect shade of bright coral and literally matches every outfit*

 

Midnight Madness:

These are for my darker, more suave look haha.

Maybelline's Plum Perfect

Lancome's All Done Up

And I just love this quote, (if you'll excuse the language):

[Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. 

That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.]
