Monthly Favorites | March & April

Hello everybody! It seems like it has been ages since I did a favorites post. I decided to combine last month with this month, even though it is only half way through April. I have several sections of favorites for you.  The first category is Makeup! My current foundation is this Covergirl Clean for Sensitive Skin in Ivory . Now, I actually do not have sensitive skin but I purchased this thinking it might be a good investment for days when I am particularly broken out.

She has such a huge Internet following so I am sure some of you know of her! xx

But instead of choosing just one, I wanted to do both of these because I really like them both! I have definitely been feeling the need for some uplifting words of inspiration. I am feeling pretty homesick and I find myself wishing that the semester would just be over already so I can have summer with my family and friends and then go study abroad! But alas, I have six more weeks so I need to rally and stay positive.  Wake up every morning with the thought that something wonderful is about to happen. I want to try and start my day off on a positive note with being happy and not focusing on how tired or cranky I am. Instead, I am going to try to drink a glass of water every morning, along with a healthy breakfast. I usually wake up and dwell on my sleepiness for about a good half hour. Instead, I am going to be grateful for all the possibilities of the d
