Best Deal EVER

Okay I literally have been dying to share this amazing deal I found when I was shopping the other day. I was at Winners just browsing through the racks when I stumbled across this gorgeous BCBG sweatshirt. It was literally perfect and it was on an AMAZING clearance. It was regularly $160 and I got it for $16!!!! DO YOU GUYS FEEL MY EXCITEMENT!?!? I literally couldn't believe it. I took a few pics of the sweatshirt and will post them down below. Check out this amazing deal. 

Clothing/Make-up Haul!!

I WENT SHOPPING!!!!! So I wanted to share all my awesome finds with you guys. I bought some makeup and clothing so let's just get into it starting with all the beauty/makeup. 

Here is the first beauty/makeup item. The Biore Charcoal Bar. So I needed a mild cleanser for my face just to wash it in the morning and this does the job perfectly. It smells like peppermint and leaves my face squeaky clean and it smells like a candy cane afterwards. It's really gentle and I'm just hooked. 

Next I picked up these Physician Formula Waterproof Eyeliners. So I've been using these for about three days and I'm 50/50. They don't stay on as long as I would have hope especially for waterproof. My Urban Decay 24/7 stays on better but they do stay on my waterline perfectly!!! Which is why I got them so I'm satisfied. If you're looking for a waterline eyeliner I definitely recommend these. 

Last in the beauty/makeup is this Hard Candy green pallete. I want to buy a more expensive palate just like this from Sephora but I'm not sure how I feel about greens so I want to try these out before I go spend money on the more expensive one. 

And here is my clothing haul(pardon the ugly blanket, hotel life is hard.) I decided to take a group picture and just tell you where everything is from. The boots are Steve Madden and were on sale for $25, the jacket is Noisy May and was on sale for $40 I think, the sunglasses are from Aldo(they have interchangeable sides which is awesome) and were on sale for $5, the grey shirt is Buffalo and was $18, the All Eyes On Me was $16 from Winners, the purple peplum was from Winners as well and was $12, and the grey sweatpants were from Winners and were $16. 

I hope you guys enjoyed this post and much as I enjoyed making it! ~Alex 

DIY Hair Mask

Happy Sunday Readers! 

Since it's Sunday(aka lets pamper ourselves while we binge on Netflix day) I thought I would share my favorite all natural hair mask with you guys. Now I'm sure you've heard how great coconut oil is for pretty much everything. Well it's freaking amazing for your hair too. I swear since I've started using it in my hair it's softer,healthier,and even grows better. I'm hooked for life and I hope you guys will be too. So here is what you will need for my favorite hair mask,

1-3 tablespoons of coconut oil( it depends on the the length and thickness of your hair. Mine is past boob level and SO thick so I almost need 2-3 tablespoons.)

1-2 tablespoons of honey(this step is completely optional, I will add honey when I want more shine but I've skipped it tons of times in the past. It does make the hair smell great though.)

Now take your ingredients and heat them up in a pot or in the microwave until they are liquified and mixed together. Then proceed to lather your hair up until it is evenly covered. 

When you're done tie or clip your hair up and let it sit for and hour or two while you binge on some shows. After you have let it sit just rise with your normal shampoo and you're good to go. I usually skip conditioner because my hair is already so moisturized that it doesn't need it but it's up to you. I hope you guys enjoy this mask as much as I do, let me know how you like it and if it helps your hair at all. 

Throwback Tuesday?

Well I don't know is Throwback Tuesday is a thing but hey if it isn't it should be am I right? I wanted to share some photos of our trip to the Vatican City. It was so beautiful there and I loved the Egyptian Hall. I'm literally OBSESSED with any and all things Egyptian so they won me right when I saw that. They even had a mummy so I was basically freaking out. The square was also really gorgeous and neat to see in person because until then I'd only ever seen it on tv. Anyway here are a few pictures from the trip. 

Ramadan Begins!

Today is the first day of Ramadan! Ramadan Mubarak to everyone, I am so excited to start. Now as much as I love the month of Ramadan I'm not gonna lie, I really miss it being in the winter. Getting up(or sometimes staying up) until 3am really messes with you're schedule! But hey it's only for a month and it's totally worth it. This year we aren't in a home so we will be doing Ramadan in a hotel, so that's going to be a new experience. As much as I miss the food while I'm fasting I love the awareness fasting brings me. Im so blessed to have so much food at my fingertips that it's easy to forget that not everyone does. My family does a lot of crafts for Ramadan so I will definitely be making another post sharing some great craft ideas with you guys. If you have any cool crafts please let me know below!  

My Favorite Quote

 Okay so I normally DO NOT like to use curse words on my blog or Instagram account but I just loved this too much because I connect with it on so many levels. This quote is so true, I mean at least in my experience. When some girls were basically attacking me on social media, for days, they started calling me a Bitch!  After I stood up for myself by blocking them all. Even the girl I thought was my best friend(I had known her for almost 10 years) took their side and said I was a bitch and then joined them in spamming my Twitter and Instagram. Standing up for yourself(in a classy, nice way)in the face of bullies should not be a reason for people to call you a Bitch. They then preceded to call me a slew of other degrading names, all because I said they were being childish and blocked them. That is called dealing with mean girls in the best way. I will never understand why as women, we feel the need to tear other women down. Being girls we know how harsh the world is, we should really all be sticking together and try to help other women whenever we can. If standing up for myself and other women makes me a Bitch then I guess I am. 

Doctors Today!

So today I have an appointment with my family doctor to talk about this lump I found in my left breast a few weeks ago. It has been hurting and swelling for almost 4 weeks now so I'm going to get it checked just to be safe. It's honestly probably nothing really serious but since my mom had breast cancer I'm a little paranoid. My mom thinks it's fribroids which seems most logical but better safe than sorry right? I'm really not looking forward to having my breasts felt up but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do! I'll let you all know how it goes. Positive thoughts and prayers are much appreciated.
