Blue and White Stripes

tie front stripe romper

Happy Monday everyone! Hope y'all's Monday wasn't too bad. Mine was good considering it was my last day of summer class. Now I have to study for my final... ughh pray for me! Anyways enough about Monday's. Let's talk fashion.

One of my favorite trends is the blue and white stripes. It's just so great for spring and summer. I know summer is coming to an end (hold on while I go cry), but this trend is around every year, so it's totally okay to buy some new items that you can continue to wear next spring and summer. Also most stores are putting their summer items on sale and already have fall clothing out. But if you live in the south you already know the heat isn't going away anytime soon.

So below I am sharing some adorable blue and white pieces from Shop Priceless. This website is literally my favorite place to shop. Great prices and super cute clothes.. it's a win-win! Also it's Arizona based if you were wondering.

Beauty Review Thursday - Light Therapy Mask

Happy Thursday friends! It's almost Fri-YAY so get excited!! Today I want to tell y'all about the Neutrogena light therapy mask and pen I've been using for basically three months now. 

So a little information on what it does and everything... the mask and pen have red and blue lights (NOT UV) that for one look pink when on together so that's always a plus lol but the lights work to kill the bacteria that forms pimples. It also reduces inflammation.

I use the mask every night, it only takes 10 minutes. I use the pen when I feel like I need to and it only takes 2 minutes. The pen can be used up to three times a day although I've only used it twice in a day since I use the mask at night. Some differences: the mask is obviously for your entire face and the pen is only for one pimple at a time. I don't know if this is due to the mask having been on the shelf longer than the pen, but the mask has an earlier expiration date than the pen. If you're like me and are thinking "what the heck it has an expiration date?!" after thinking about it.. it's light bulbs and obviously going to go dull eventually. The pen is powered by a single AAA battery. It lets you know when you need to change the battery. The mask has a remote that attaches to the cord (like headphones attach basically lol) and a single remote has 30 sessions, after 30 sessions you have to get a new remote. The mask comes with a remote & the package is $35. When you get a replacement remote it's $15, so not too bad. Kinda sucks it expires & you have to buy more, but it's understandable. 

In my opinion the "cons" are worth getting this light mask and/or pen. I have seen a difference in my skin and I am able to control my breakouts before they really start. Also since I have used it I have popped less pimples because I'm able to stop them from growing. Some I have not been able to, but most of them I have.

Links to each item is below. They are currently 25% off! The mask is also BOGO 50% off. My mask expires soon so I will definitely be taking advantage of this!

p.s. make sure to read the directions!! I know I gave a good bit of information, but there are things I did not explain.

Hope this has helped if you have been wondering about this product. If you have any questions leave a comment or DM me on Instagram. Be back next Thursday with another beauty review(:

motivation monday

So I'm going to start a series called "motivation Monday," where I will post some kind of motivation on Monday's.. obviously! I always come up with motivating thoughts in my head so this is a way to share it and hopefully inspire & motivate others. So here ya go...

Just because it's July does not mean you can't set new "yearly" goals for yourself to achieve. It's never too late to start something you've always been wanting to do. Whether it's getting healthy, travel more, better yourself as a person, achieve something at work or school, anything you have been thinking about for a long time, but have yet to start.

I'm here to tell you right now to DO IT!! Stop waiting for the "right moment" cause guess what.. there is no right moment. The "right moment" is now! If your goal is to better your health or workout, take baby steps. (I'm planning to upload a blog with my health tips soon so subscribe in the sidebar on the right so you don't miss it!!) If your goal is to travel more a good way to save some money is by either 1. get a huge coke bottle money bank (example here) & put all your spare change in. I promise it adds up! or 2. put away all your five dollar bills (like you would loose change); this definitely can add up fast.

Many times I hesitate or procrastinate doing things and as the days go on I constantly regret not doing something. It's work in progress, not everything happens over night. So just take it step by step.. you got this!!!
