Nine West Booties

I have worn these nine west booties previously but absolutely love them. I wanted to do an outfit post around them. They are simple booties and the tan colors go with just about any outfit. I also love that they are comfortable and I can wear them to work as well as out. I like sturdier heels (I can't walk in pointy heels) because I can walk all day in them.

BB Creams

I know a lot of people use BB creams but I had yet to jump on the bandwagon. I started to research different types of BB creams and what they do. I found out that there are so many different brands which is a little overwhelming What I found out:
BB= beauty balm.
Basically, it started in Asia and became popular and now it is super popular in the US.
I have always believed foundation to not be particularly good for your skin unless it is mineral based. However, BB creams actually have antioxidants and anti-aging ingredients as well as SPF. This means it nourishes and protects your face throughout the day. What I love about BB creams (other than what I previously stated) is that it also gives you coverage without feeling like you are wearing foundation.
The first one I bought is the Garnier BB Cream and it was really great. I NEED to wear foundation. I feel naked if I don't have it on and I like, not only coverage, but evenness . I also hate those "lightweight" foundations because I don't feel like it gives me enough coverage.
Here are 6 different BB Creams that I have great reviews and that fit different budgets.

Studded Vest

New Year's resolutions have always been hard for me because I usually end up making so many that it becomes overwhelming an then I forget about them. I do this in my everyday life too. For example, the more I have to do the more I feel like just laying down and doing nothing or taking a nap. So for this year I decided to just come up with one or two goals so as not to be too overwhelming and actually stick to it. The one I chose is to not overanalyze everything. I have the tendency to overanalyze EVERY. SINGLE. THING which means that I often miss out on potentially amazing moments because I'm worrying or thinking about what could go wrong. I want to live more in the moment and let go of my worries and reservations.

I realize I wear these leggings a lot but they are so comfortable and I love them. Plus they were only 15 bucks at Windsor. I probably wear them about 3 times a week.

Red Dress

I have been searching for quite awhile for a "modest" dress. I want a cute dress that I am able to wear to work but that still fits my budget. My favorite stores have always been stores like Forever 21 and H&M but most of those dresses are too short for work wear or tank top (which unless you wear it with a blazer can't be worn in a professional workplace). So I found this dress from Asos and I bought it while it was on sale. I absolutely love it.

Detox Juice

 
 
 
 
 
 
New Year’s Detoxifying Juice    
serves 1
1 1/2-inch nub of ginger
1 large cucumber
2 stalks celery
1 large beet, or two small
1 lemon, peel and pith removed
2 small apples, cored and cut into wedges
1 large handful of parsley
Press all of the ingredients through a juice extractor. Stir and serve immediately




Another type of detox juice that I like is where you just throw in random ingredients. I really like apples, tomatoes, spinach, oranges, cucumbers, and carrots. I just throw in random amounts and then drink it three times a day!
