OOTD: Dolphin Hem Top

Hello everybody!

Even though it's been spring for over a month, it most certainly doesn't feel like here!

The weather is seriously bipolar. One week it was in the high 40's, then one day, it was 80 degrees!

Why can't it be summer already? 

Here's one of the outfits I wore on a warm day.

This is called a Dolphin Hem Top. How funny is that?

I have been obsessed with these shoes. I've always wanted oxfords and crochet shoes... and I got both! 

Riv (x) and I posted another podcast on our other blog, The Little Black Bookmark (x). We did a Would You Rather book tag and sacrificed books (x). Please go check it out! If you like listening to us, don't forget to like the video and follow our blog.

Also... I CUT MY HAIR!! 

The last time I had short hair was in fourth grade, so this was a huge step for me. I was super attached to my long hair and almost cried when it was cut off. I was torn between keeping my hair long and chopping it off. In the end, I decided I wanted a whole new look. I will be donating my hair, so if you have any suggestions to where I should donate it to, please comment down below! I feel like a brand new person with my short hair. This is going to take a while to get used to!

Thanks so much for reading. I'll see you soon!

My Prom Makeup

Haul: Prom Makeup Part 2

Hello everybody!

Here's part 2 of my prom makeup haul. If you haven't already, here's part 1 x.

I got the first 3 things from Target:

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in 20 Sand $5.49 x

I found this concealer a bit too light for me, so I bought another one, as you will see later.

Revlon Colorstay Foundation in 300 Golden Beige $9.99 x.

At first, the foundation is the color it is in the bottle, but after a while, it becomes a lot darker. 

Revlon Colorstay Liquid Eye Pen in 001 Blackest Black $5.99 x

I love liquid eyeliners the most. They give you a nice crisp line. They don't get smudgey like pencils do and they're easier to put on than gel (at least that's what I think).

The next 3 things are from Harmon's Face Values. 

Essie in Aruba Blue $8.49 x

I love Essie nail polishes. They last forever, even without a top coat. They're just more expensive than the nail polishes I usually buy, so my wallet cries every time I buy one.

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in 25 Medium $5.29 x

Like I said before, Sand is too light for me. Unfortunately, the next shade down is Medium, which is too dark for me. So I have to mix the two shades together, which is such a hassle! 

Neutrogena Eye Makeup Remover $6.49 x

I've just always used this remover, so I bought another one.

The last product is from CVS.

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in 004 Sandstorm $5.69 x.

I have heard so many YouTubes talk about this powder and how much they love it, so I just had to try it out.

So that's all the prom makeup I've bought. My prom was last Thursday, so I'll probably write a post on that later.

Also, Riv (x) and I posted another podcast on our blog, The Little Black Bookmark (x). Feel free to check it out. This time we talked about books we read in middle school. x

Thanks so much for reading. I'll see you soon!

OOTD: Hitting The Gym

Hello everybody!

Kind of going along with the prom theme from the last post... I've been going to the gym more often to get in shape for prom. Alas, going to the gym plus going on a vegan diet for one month has only resulted in the loss of one pound. I don't know what I expected, losing one pound for me is pretty good... considering I cheated on my diet many times (chocolate, though, I can't resist!) Not to mention the day Zayn left One Direction I ate a whole bar of chocolate (I was mourning, okay?)

My sister has a membership at New York Sports Club (x), so I go with her whenever I can (or whenever I can get myself out of bed... usually I can't). I've gone a few times in March. Usually I just go on the elliptical, the bike, or the treadmill. Once, I attended a Zumba class. 

So I go to the gym to do cardio and do strength training at home. Sorry, but I don't feel comfortable lifting my ten pounds compared to the guy next to me lifting a hundred. I follow Cassey Ho's Blogilates videos (x).  I will rave about her in my March/April favorites. 

So here's something along the lines of what I wear to the gym.

(American Eagle; similar: x/x)

(Target; similar: x/x)

(Sports Authority; similar x)

(Haha, oops, they're kinda dirty)

(Reebok; similar x)

I wear long pants to the gym because it's March (April) and it's still cold. I mean, it just snowed a couple days ago, I'm not wearing anything shorter than these leggings. 

So that's it! If you have any weight loss tip, please leave them in the comment below. It's already too late to lose anymore weight (safely) before prom this year, but I could always use any of your tips next year. 

Thanks so much for reading. I'll see you soon!
