Jelly beans haunt my dreams while oxygen makes a great mask

Bubblegum, apple and peach oh my!..For school related business, seriously not joking here, I had to sort about a thousand jelly beans by flavor with one of my friends last night. Afterward, because my body rebels against the idea of sleep, I tried Dreamwater's snoozeberrry; taste wise I've had worse ( I used to drink fish oil) and it of course has melatonin (this may account for the weird dream in which jelly beans invaded my house and took over)  in the main ingredients with some other chemicals.

Final verdict, it worked fine but it had the same waking up effect that sleeping pills have on me; I felt exhausted in the morning. But it did wear off fairly quicker compared to waking up from a sleeping pill. Side note, when I took Ambien I actually walked to my neighbors in my sleep...she was nice enough to walk me back.


Moving on, this morning after washing my face I used Bliss's Triple Oxygen Instant Energy mask; I really like this product, my skin actually feels brighter (as well as looking brighter) after using it. It also helps if you've had a busy night and didn't get enough sleep or look tired in general (that would be my problem).

So this morning I decided I wanted to conjure up some 80's wear splashed with a little ballerina chic

shirt and tank top are both from Aerie and the jeans are lucky brand southside zoe straight

A ballerina bun was the easiest thing I could think of, I really wanted to post pone washing my hair
 For shoes I'm just going to wear my pink Keds, it adds some color and they are way to comfy for words.



Right now I want Du Wop to come out with their newest product Blue Venom, it comes out in march so it's almost here! I love their lip venom, however I will also be buying Fresh's sugar rose tinted lip treatment spf 15, it's one of the best lip products I have ever owned.
 
During this post I've been listening to Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zero's along with Walking the Moon and Tinashe

Who needs purpose


okay, so currently I've been drowning in what seems to be my own insanity but that's okay because it was getting dull anyway. I'm also trying to figure out how to budget rent, cable and clothes....food will come later, maybe. Cheerios is on the menu for a very long time here. What's the use of spiraling into crazy-ville if you don't look good doing it.

This site will mainly be for talking about products and clothes and possibly what little interesting facts I can include about myself (there isn't much).


I've just started using Dermadoctor Ain't Misbehaving acne cleanser and its been pretty good so far, my skin is oily and dry combination and prone to breakouts. After using Bliss 'No Zit Sherlock' and only seeing fair results I was very pleased...however at $25 dollars I'm still on the fence for whether or not I'll buy it again.

I also own a Clarisonic, I would recommend this to pretty much everyone. It is expensive and I am a recovering college student going on to grad school so it was not easy purchasing this, however it was worth setting aside $10-$20 dollars a month to eventually get this. My skin is cleaner than it has ever been and it absorbs creams and serums better (that makes me sound like my skin is some sort of monster...) point is this really improved my skin. 

the products I use right now are
Dermadoctor Ain't Misbehaving cleanser
 Duac topical Gel (seriously a dermatologist will be your best friend get one)
 Aveeno positively radiant  daily moisturizer SPF 30 (doesn't matter old you are or what skin tone you have wear sun screen people)
 Clinique All about eyes
dark circles are the bane of my existence, and I really have to go in for an eyebrow waxing...it hurts though!

The circled areas are what I'm working on, these tend to be my breakout areas (not including eye area), oh and I hate taking my picture so excuse the serial killer/driver license facial expression
