As i was cleaning my closet last night i realized i have too many scarves for my own good lol I had them all on hangers and i figured i would get so annoyed finding one, especially now that the weather is going to get colder. Soooo i found this hanger type thing in my garage and had the perfect plan for it lol i hung it behind my door in my room and put up all my scarves on it. It looks great, its practical and i have more room in closet now =) .I love finding ways to organize my things, it makes everything so much easier. How do you keep your things organized?

My little project
So this past week i've been working on this little project of mine. My dad brought me home this old lookin shelf that he wanted to throw out. At first i didn't want it because it looked so old and beat up i thought it was gross lol But i took it in anyway. I went to Home Depot and got some white paint and painted it. I then screwed some hooks on the bottom so i can hang things off it. Finally i decided to personlize it to match my room so i added a bunch of scratch on stickers that i got from Michaels. The hard part was actually installing it on my wall by myself but after a little effort i did it lol i was super proud of myself and i love how it looks! On top i have my flower and an egg box and i hung some necklaces and a dream catcher thingy that i've had for like ever. Hooray for my cute little project!

October Favorites!
So it's that time again. Time to share with you my monthly favorites! October went by so fast i don't even remember what i did haha Anyway these are a few products i've been using a lot this past month. Here it goes...1) Got2B Hair Thickener - I love this! It works to thicken, strengthen and plump hair. How i use it: after i wash my hair, i go ahead and blow dry my hair just a little then add some of the product on my hands and run it through my hair. Then i finish blow drying it more then style it like i normally would. I straighten my hair lol I notice my hair having more volume, feeling a little thicker and just given a little oomph lol
2) Biosilk Silk Therapy - I've had this for a while but haven't really used it till recently lol it's expensive and i didn't want to waste it too fast lol I use it after im done with stylin my hair. Its oily so i dont use too much on my bangs or in one spot. I flip my hair and run my fingers with the product through my hair. I use it on the tip of my hair and it really helps the split ends and to tame down my hair. Another plus is that it smells amazing
3) Urban Decay Bronzer in Baked - I have been using this every single day! It reminds me of the MAC mineral finish. It has a shimmery look and it works perfectly as a highlight. That's what i use it for. It works as a bronzer and has the pretty shimmer for my cheekbones.
4) NARS Lipgloss in Turkish Delight - I've had this for the longest time but haven't really used it much till i recently reconnected with it haha It's the perfect pink sorbet color i love it
5) NYX Trio - I've been using the third eyeshadow a lot with my smokey look to give my eyes a bit of color. The color is called Hot Pink. It's not too pale and not too dark. It's a matte pink and its gorgeous
6) Maybelline ColorSensational in Born with It - I love to match this with the NARS lipgloss. I love this lipstick, it's like my favorite store brand one. It's a perfect pale pink and i've been using it every day, it works with every look
7) Garnier Anti-Puff eye roller - This stuff really works lol I use it at night and it the morning if i know i don't get enough sleep and it really helps me to not look as tired as i am haha All i do is roll it under my eyes from one corner to the other and let it dry and in like 5-10 minutes i put on my foundation and the rest of my makeup. Once im done with that, my puffiness is gone! Love it!
8) Cocoa Butter Lip Balm - I've talked about this before and it's been my favorite lip balm ever. It makes my skin so soft and it lasts on my lips for a while. It's very cheap and i've been using it all day everyday
9) ULTA Eyeshadow in Gunmetal - these eyeshadow have amazing pigmentation and color pay-off they just leave a lot of fall-out. You have to pat it on the lid and not so much brush it. I love this specific color though. It's perfect for fall. It's a bit shimmery but not too light. It's the perfect shade for my eyes.

My Halloween [WARNING!-Picture Heavy]
Hey everyone! Hope all of you had a fun Halloween this year. Mine was pretty laid back. Spent time with my brothers at home watching scary movies all night! We got dressed up and just ate candy while getting scared haha. We ended up watching Sleepy Hallow, Sweeny Todd and The Mummy! Thanks to the daylight savings nonsense we got to stay up and enjoy our movies =) .Now on to my costume! I honestly didn't think i was going to dress up at all but the night before i had an idea to use what i have, do some crazy makeup and hair and be someone else other than myself lol Sooooooooooooooooooooo.... i decided to be Lydia from Beetlejuice! haha. I googled some pictures of her and i did the hair like she has it..or at least attempted lol the makeup i tried combining the cartoon one with the movie, but also keeping it pale yet pretty. I used a very light foundtion that i have from Physicians Formula (i dont know why i have it so light lol). The color is called Classic Ivory and i honestly do not know why i own such a light foundation but it worked perfectly lol. I also used two purples from my 120 palette and some black. I threw on some falsies from Ardell. I forgot the number lol Also for the cheeks to contour them i used a gray shadow from a NYX trio and mixed with the lighter purple that i used on my eyes. I paled out my lips with NYC cover stick and added a bit of purple shadow under my bottom lip to make my lips stand out a bit. That's basically it =). With the hair i used a lot of boby pins and wax for the bangs. That's about it =) I had a lovely photobooth photoshoot on my computer haha so enjoy the pictures and if you have any questions or comments leave them below =)
