FRIDAY FAVORITES

I tend to be more of a chapstick user on the daily, sometimes I’ll grab one with a bit of a tint for days when my lips are a little pale (love these from Burt’s Bees). Lately, though, I’ve been digging into my lipstick/gloss collection like crazy. I saw this image on Pinterest and was reminded of how narrow my selection is. Now I’m on the hunt to expand my collection, my favorite drugstore lipstick are the matte options from Rimmel’s Kate Moss collection!

Check out after the jump for more of my favorite things!

I just picked up Essie’s Chinchilly last week. I posted about it on Instagram. I love it and I’ve been dying to wear it, but my nails experienced their first ever brittle spell and I’m grasping at straws to strengthen them before I lay on more polish. My nails have always been very strong and healthy, I’m not sure why they just died out recently. Some seem to be getting better, but a few.. not so much. If you have any ideas, tell me!

I’m loving this article about faking a good night’s sleep from Makeup.com. As an early riser and late night worker, sleep is a problem for me. I’m a daytime napper, but that’s not always possible. Faking a well-rested face is a must for me! That, and lots of coffee!

I’m loving this look worn by Atlantic-Pacific. The dress reminds me of one I got a couple summers ago at H&M. I’ve been dying to dig it out, now that it’s warmer I can!

This is a great image quote. It pretty much sums up my entire view on life. The take home message: don’t let yourself become jaded, find the beauty in everything you see, feel or experience. It’s something I have to remind myself to do daily.

I’ve been looking for a simple DIY idea to try while I’m sitting around, but don’t have enough time for school work. I found this bracelet on Pinterest. It’s so pretty and it’s simple and easy to make, perfect for what I’ve been looking for! I can’t wait to try it!
