Haircut

If you haven't seen me post across social media, I finally got my hair cut! I had about 1.5 inches cut off to get rid of all the dead/split ends. I went to a new salon I found, thanks to Groupon. The salon I went to is called Executive Cuts and there are located very close to my apartment. If you are from the Albany/Latham/Loudonville area, I highly recommend!!

Fall Makeup Swap with Rachel

This weekend I finally got my makeup swap package from Rachel. We decided to do a swap a little while back and I finally got my package. Unfortunately, we both had issues with shipping, so most of the products we both sent got destroyed by the post office. These products pictured, however, did mange the trip from overseas. I am super excited to the try CC Cream and Mascara Rachel sent me in this swap. Doesn't this Sleek palette look amazing?

I am thinking of hosting a holiday/Christmas swap, if you're interested comment below!

Easy Breakfast: Special K Protein Breakfast Shake

I am not a morning person at all. I found these Special K Protein Breakfast Shakes at my local grocery store and they have a changed my eating habits in the morning. I used to be making trips to Dunkin Donuts or others coffee shops everyday eating crap for breakfast but now I am trying to be healthier. These shakes are so easy, all you have to do is refrigerate and shake! I also love these because they contain as much caffeine as a cup of coffee! These are a staple in my diet! They taste just like a cappuccino and they are the perfect consistency! If you're looking for quick and healthy alternative, you HAVE to try these Special K Protein shakes! They are 180 calories and contain a 1/3 of your daily value of key vitamins and minerals.

You can buy a four pack for about $7.00 USD

What do you like to eat or drink for breakfast?

Nail of the Day: Julep Janel

When I got this nail polish in my Julep Box, I got really excited! I love polishes that are this pink-red tone. I didn't do a very good job on painting my nails but this color was amazing! I love the formula and it was opaque in one coat! 

I can't wait to use the rest of my Julep polishes!

Outfit of the Day [October 10, 2014]

*some links are affiliate links*

Sweater: Old Navy

Cropped Pants: JC Penney

Black Flats: Marshalls

Bracelet: Jewelmint

Purse: Vera Bradley

I hope you have all had a great October so far! Mine has been pretty boring but I am hoping that will change over the next several weeks! Today I wore a pretty basic outfit, featuring a sweater from Old Navy and a pari of cropper pants from Jc Penney. These are really cropped but because I am only 5'2" they are normal length for me. I decided to wear minimal jewelry and just stick to a bracelet and my engagement ring.  P.S. I am working on rearranging my spare room :)

Do you have any exciting weekend plans?
