Ask yourself...what is your favorite snack bar? Now, check the list of ingredients on the label. How many are listed? Better yet, can you even pronounce any of them?
Ever hear of the rule...'if you can't read it don't eat it?'
Many of the snack bars on the market are filled with tons of chemicals that we can't even read or recognize. Wouldn't you like to know exactly what you're putting
into your body?
I have fallen in food love with Larabars and I will never look back!
There are so many different varieties and each one tastes just like a dessert! Each bar contains between 2-9 ingredients, including dates, nuts, unsweetened fruits, spices, and chocolate!
I eat one just about every day between breakfast and lunch to keep me going through my classes to keep the hunger pangs away!
My favorite flavor so far is Cherry Chocolate Chip Torte! Each bite makes me smile inside and out knowing that my taste buds are happy and that I'm eating clean, raw foods! :)
If you've had the delightful experience of trying Larabars, what's your favorite flavor?

Taylor Swift has easily become America's newest style icon. She is well known for sporting a sundress with a pair of cowgirl boots, a trend which she inspired all around the world.
Over time, her style has evolved and transitioned into a series of cocktail dresses with heels, leaving the leather kicks behind. Today, her sense of style is mature, modest, and very classic.
The look shown in
this picture above isn't her everyday style because it was taken during a photo shoot for Seventeen Magazine, but it still captures the main elements that make up her sense of fashion.
It's a very bohemian-glam goddess look. The dress is very versatile allowing it to be dressed up or down. In this case, the headband and the loose waves give the dress a more of a relaxed feel.
I'm really inspired by this look for summer and can't wait to try it. I think it would be perfect for a date or a night out with the girls. What do you think? Leave a comment below. :)

Taylor's fashion never ceases to amaze and inspire! She rocks the red carpets like a runway in a rainbow assortment of dresses.
This country starlet proves that you CAN wear any color of the rainbow as long as you pick the perfect shade to compliment your features.
From one shoulder, to sweetheart, to strapless, to ruched, to off-the-shoulder, and to spaghetti-strapped, Taylor never fails
to impress with a dress.
Which one is your favorite?

I can't even begin to tell you how frustrating it is when you look in the mirror and all you can focus on is that one HUGE zit or if you're having even worse facial luck...several zits. Ugh! It's annoying and a total confidence killer.
I've tried several various acne spot gels and creams, but by far my favorite is the Neutrogena Acne Eliminating Spot Gel. WHY? Because it visibly reduces the
size of any acne I have and gets rid of it WITHOUT drying out my skin.
Watch my video review for more details and then try it for yourself! :)

With winter just around the corner, the moisture level in the air has been dropping rapidly and for many of us that means......dry skin.
We all hate it. That sand papery rough feeling on our hands and sometimes even cracks that bleed.
Fortunately, there are many ways to cure and prevent this irritation, so we can focus on enjoying the holidays instead of dry, irritated hands.

With the refreshing cooler air of autumn came my love and new addiction of scented candles.
It's just so peaceful and relaxing to have different scented candles randomly placed around the house. I love the flickering of the flame and the glow it creates.
Right now, as I'm writing this, I'm burning two candles. One is 'Banana Nut Bread' from a local grocery store, and the other is 'Warm
Vanilla Sugar' from Bath and Body Works.
My favorite place to get candles is from the Yankee Candle store. I love the way the combined aromas just draw me in and make me want to stay and smell every candle.
Their candles are pretty pricey I must admit. The largest size candles are $25. I just recently bought some votives (smaller versions) instead. They only cost $1.99 and I'm able to buy several different scents to enjoy.
My favorites right now in their fall collection are:
*Harvest
*Pumpkin Pie
*Autumn Wreath
Candles can be used as stress relievers. They are so calming and relaxing. Stress is bad for our health. It has a negative impact on our bodies. Next time, you're feeling stressed or you are just wanting a comfy night in, light your favorite scented candle and relax.

Does it ever get annoying when you have to reapply your lip color 50 million times a day because it just won't stay on for more than one class period?
Well, I decided to try out a drugstore lipstain and see for myself if it really stayed on for the entire day.
The Results:
It stayed on during the day, but around dinner time, it wore off and started to fade. I ended up liking the
product. It stayed on for several hours. You can't expect your makeup to last forever. It's going to fade sometime.
Pros: Cons:
*Non-sticky *Time to dry between steps
*Last about 5-6 hours
I used Covergirl Lipstain in the shade "Sheerly Nude". It's a pretty pinkish-beige natural looking color that compliments medium to tan skin tones.

Even though summer is over, it doesn't mean that we have to forget everything that we love about last season.
I love the beach! It's one of the things on the top of my list that I will miss about summer.
This look is inspired by the way the sun's ray glisten in the water.
Check out my video tutorial above to get this look!

Autumn is here and I love comfy hoodies. For me, Aeropostale is the place to go when I'm looking for a cute and comfy, yet affordable hoodie.
I recently visited their store to find that they have some deals going on. The pictures are just a few items that I picked up, but I do plan on making another trip over because some other items caught my eye.
If you look in the most recent issue of
Seventeen, there is a coupon for $10 off for every $50 you spend to sweenten the deal.
Prices:
Hoodie: $19.99
Cami: Now recently lowered to $3.99
Cardigan: $19.99
Pants: I paid $16.99 in store, but online it says $19.99

It's now officially fall, but just because you can't hit the beach doesn't mean you have to surrender your sun-kissed skin.
I've been using Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer and its given me an amazing glow! It's formula is infused with antioxidants and Vitamin E to nourish and protect skin. It gives a natural-looking tan, moisturizes, and even has a hint of gold glitter to give skin a
shimmer-like effect...sort of like... a vampire in the sun. How cool is that?
People keep complimenting my tan and ask me how I'm so dark. It's like my little secret. Shhh... I will most definitely be using this product all year round!
For a full in-depth review about the product and application, check out my video. :)
