Mascara's Never Smelled So Sweet

Since 1987, the German beauty makeup brand Lavera has been making organic makeup long before "going green" became the ultimate catch phrase. They definitely know what they are doing. It’s known to amp up your lashes without the clumps. (I hate that!)

In this lovely Lavera mascara, you will find organic jojoba, all natural pigments and rose flower water which gives your mascara its signature sweet smell.

“Good idea but why would you need your eyelashes to smell good?” –Ashley

Before, you had to search everywhere for one of these fabulous tubes of mascara. But in March, Target picked up Lavera, selling their top 25 products online and in the stores.

Not only does the mascara smell good but their lip gloss smells of an organic berry aroma and the face gel with calendula.

*Lavera Mascara comes in black, brown and blue*

The Lovely Lady Zoe

There is no perfect way to describe this amazing woman. Zoe has wowed us all in her incredible role in Avatar and will make her way back to the big screen twice this month in the film, The Losers and Neil LaBute’s remake of Death at a Funeral starring Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence and Tracy Morgan.

Zoe Saldana is one of the most famous actors in Hollywood. “I’m just the same as anyone else: as a man, as anybody. I don’t feel like I’m being unreasonable. I’m not a hater, and I’m not a rebellious person. I don’t believe in racism, and I don’t believe in discrimination-you have to not believe in these things in order for them to not exist in your life. But I do believe in a mental conviction that I am,” said by Saldana in an interview with Nylon Magazine for their April issue.

She is beautiful, an amazing actress and takes incredible photos, may I add! Be sure to keep your eye on this woman who seems to be center of attention and check out her two new films coming out this month.

Bloggeritis

Yes, I said it! Bloggeritis. Bloggeritis is a word that just so happened to make up which means going without blogging for a certain period of time. Today and yesterday was probably the first time I blogged in two or three weeks. So I seemed to have caught bloggeritis but I am now getting back into the swing of things. Between work, college and my social life (well, what's left of it..)it is hard to find time to write becasue writing takes so much time that I don't have. But when I do write/blog, I love it! Seriously, who doesn't love to talk about fashion 24/7?? I know I do! Are you a writer? Have you caught bloggeritis yet?

A Chilly Day

Although yesterday was pretty chilly outside, I happened to make it out to take some new pictures and they turned out great. I did not however take pictures with all of my new clothes because I did not have much time and like I said before it was cold. Here are some of the pictures.










These were the only ones that I ended up taking but I’m just glad that they turned out good the first time. I will continue to take more maybe today or tomorrow because the weather is supposed to be so much better. I can’t wait!

Also today, my mother and I may head to the movies to see a movie today. I don’t exactly know what we will go see so I guess we will just make it a surprise. =)

Talk to you guys later,

Outfit of the Day =)

Time For A Vacation

So tonight my mother and I are packing for a much needed mini vacation.We are driving down to Virginia Beach for the weekend! I’m so excited but I wish that the weather would be nice enough so I could wear my bathing suit on the beach but I can’t because it is still way too chilly. Oh well! The good thing is that I will be bringing my laptop along so I will still be able to blog, post photos and do videos as well. So yes, don’t worry, I will still be blogging =)

Just a heads up, I may be doing a haul while in VB or shortly after depending on the time that I have. Mom and I have already made plans to hit the boardwalk, go biking, walking, hit a movie and we may even do some harmless shopping. You never know! So you will just have to wait and see until then. Our bags are almost packed and we’re ready to go! Woo Hoo! Talk to ya’ll soon!
