Suave Heat Protectant

I absolutely love the smell of this protectant. It's somewhat of a fruity and sweet scent. Compared to my the Chi iron guard, this heat protectant has become my new favorite. The price is affordable too.

RoC Multi Correxion Moisturizer

I love how this moisturizer goes on to my face. It feels so smooth and velvety. My skin absorbs it well and it does leave my face leaving greasy. It's a great age defying moisturizer since it targets four key areas.

Beauty Rush Body Spray Juiced

I love scents that are juicy and sweet. This body spray is the perfect example of the scent. I use this on an everyday basis.

Cropped Tops

I am obsessed with this current trend. I find it super cute. I bought a lot of my cropped tops from Ross. I usually go for a top one size up than my usual size. I like the lose look and it also allows me to wear it off one shoulder. I also usually wear a tank underneath it.

Hairstyle - Black with Bangs

I finally did an ultimate change with my hairstyle this May. I had blonde highlights but I died my hair to it's natural color of black and cut my bangs. I love my new look.

Dried Pineapples

Whenever I'm craving for sweets, I go for these. It's better than snacking on some fatty snacks like cake.

Cherish - Superstar

I love finding songs that I haven't heard before and isn't as popular. This song is an example of that. I haven't heard this on the radio. I love it's beat and the lyrics are cute.

BeautySplurge

I absolutely enjoy watching her lookbooks. Her style is so unique, fresh, stylish, girly, fun, cute, and trendy. Check her out on youtube. I highly suggest it.

Bald Chick?

I was watching music videos on youtube and I came across one of Wiz Khalifa's music videos. It was his Roll Up video featuring Cassie. I didn't realize that Cassie cut her hair. She literally went bald. Do you guys or girls like her haircut? It's a dislike for me. =/

Short & Floral

I've been searching on forever21.com for some new items to add to my spring wardrobe and I found a lot of these cute floral shorts. I find them perfect for the spring season. I own a few floral tops, dresses, and skirts, but no shorts. These are definitely going to be a purchase. What do you girls think? Like or dislike? LIKE for me.

Acid Wash Jeans

Like or dislike?
I don't like it. It's a little too much for me. I'd rather go for the destroyed jeans look.

Outfit of the Night - Tough & Girly

I love how this outfit is put together. I'm a neutral colors lover so the black on black look attracts me. I love how the accessories put a feminine touch to the tough edge of the outfit. I also love the sheen of the jacket. I would change the heels and bottoms though. I would go for more of a buckle strap heel and a black skinny jean bottom. I don't like wearing capri length bottoms. I'm short, 5'1", and I feel capris would make me look even shorter. I found this outfit on an ebay seller's store.http://stores.ebay.com/Fancy-Land-Japanese-Collectibles/Fashion-/_i.html?_fsub=1643843010&_sid=8478430&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322

Shatter

Another nail polish that I want. Actually, it's more of a necessity. It's totally different and unique and I love the look of it.

ELF Studio Moisturizer 

I love this moisturizer. It has SPF 15 so it's moisturizing and protecting. It's definitely a great buy for only $3.00. I highly reccommend it. 

ELF Studio Concealear 

I found another concealer to love. The consistency is smooth and easy to apply. It blends perfectly with my skin and it actually lasts for the whole day. I like using it for my under eye circles. 

Motorcycle Jacket 

I absolutely love this jacket. It matches with almost every outfit. It's so versatile. I love pairing it up with a elegant or feminem dress. It adds an edge to the outfit. 

Wetseal White Watch

This is my everyday watch. I got it at Wetseal for about $20. It looks like it's ceramic but it's not. I love it. I wish I got the black version also. 

 

Reebok Tone Shoes

These are the best pair of shoes ever. I use them when I'm in the hospital for clinicals. As a student nurse, I'm always on my feet and walking from room to room and patient to patient. They're also nicer looking than those bulky tone shoes. They're also comfy. Trust me, I wear them all day and my feet don't hurt unlike other shoes. 

Warabi Salad 

This type of salad is yummy and delicious! It's a type of vegetable fern. It's only found on the Big Island of Hawaii. I don't think I saw it anywhere else. It's so healthy. I can't get enough of it. I wish it was sold everywhere. I can eat this almost everyday. 

Keyshia Cole - This is Us

My favorite song at the moment. I can listen to this song over and over. It reminds me of my relationship with my boyfriend. I hearts him!

Update: New Juicy School Bag!

I just bought a new school bag off of ebay for school. It's a Juicy Couture crown jewel heart charm tote. It's big and can carry all my notes and heavy nursing books. There's one thing I'm a little worried about. I bought it used but the seller told me she only used it twice since she bought it a month ago and it is in good condition (no damage, fading, etc). I was planning on buying a new one but I thought about the savings I would get if I bought a used one. I spent $70 for my bag. Buying the bag new on ebay would cost me about $150-$200 (The original price on the bag in stores is around $200-$220). So I practically got my bag for half off. I hope the bag will live up to my expectations and the seller stayed true to her words. Have you guys had any experiences with buying used products on ebay? I'll update you guys on my bag once I receive it in the mail.

Update
So I received the bag promptly and I absolutely love it! Although it was used, it was in great condition. No fading, tears, or damages. It was clean and no odors. I'm actually glad I didn't pay the full price because I feel like I saved a lot and got my money's worth. This purchase makes me think twice about shopping for used bags. I think I'll make another used product purchase on e-bay. I use this bag everyday for school. It's so roomy and fits all of my books, folders, pens, water, snacks, and all the other necessities I need for school. I'm glad I made this purchase.

ELF Neutrals Pallette

I got this pallette at Walgreens for $5. Super cheap! It's a perfect eyeshadow palette for an everyday look. Pigmentation is great also.

Jewelry

 Juicy Couture Bow Earrings

I got this pair from the Black Friday sale at the Waikele Juicy Couture Outlet. Ever since then, I've been wearing them almost everyday. It's so cute. I wanted simple stud earrings that would go with every outfit and this was perfect.

Underwear

OP Panties from Walmart
Super comfortable and cute. I love them. The quality actually reminds me of the Pink panties from Victoria Secrets.

Food

Apples & Peanut Butter

One of my nursing classmates got me hooked on this. She would always bring them to class or clinicals for a snack and share with us. It's soo good and healthy at the same time.

Song

Bruno Mars - The Lazy Song

My motto for the month of November. LOLs. I wish I had more lazy days.

Outfit of the Day - Volcom Casual

It's a semi cloudy rainy day here in Hawaii. I don't have school today. I just need to do a few errands and then I'll be working on my paper. So on a casual day, I'll probably grab my favorite pair of destroyed skinny jeans by refuge and pair it up with one of many Volcom tees. Volcom is one of my favorite brands. Living in Hawaii, I grew up wearing surf brands like Roxy, Billabong, Oneill, Hurley, etc. Of all the surf brands, Volcom is my favorite. My closet consists of numerous Volcom pieces. I go for V-neck tees or low cut neckline tees. They're more flattering than a simple tee. I would also usually wear gladiator sandals to dress it up a little and I'd grab my favorite Volcom bag. Anyway, I just wanted to show you all an example of my casual/lazy day/everyday outfits.

Bangs or No Bangs?

I've been debating a lot lately. I've had the same hairstyle for the last 5 years. My hair is naturally black but it has brown/caramel and blonde highlights, long layers all around, length is nearing my butt, and side swept bangs. Now I'm debating to go back to black with just brown highlights, no blonde, and having blunt bangs. I'm thinking of doing the blunt bangs now. I've had blunt bangs before but that was when I was in elementary. I've tried pinning up my hair to imitate the look of bangs and I say they suit me but I don't know if I should really do it. What do you guys think? I mean, I could just go back to side swept bangs if anything, right?

Here are pictures of my favorite fashions icons who went from having no bangs to bangs. Do you think they pull off the bangs look?

Cute Leggings

I came across these leggings while browsing through Japan or Korean fashion on ebay. I've never seen leggings like these before. I thought they were super cute. I want, I want, I want!
