what a quote looks like

"you musn't be afraid to sparkle a little brighter, darling"
what this quote looks like in a photograph to me:

this was an older picture I took when spring was just beginning in the south.

do you understand why I see the quote typed above in this photo?

skiing trip photos

so heyyy everyone!
we left Monday for a skiing/tubing/#asmyparentssaynonstopfunbeginsnowtrip ;)

some of these photos might be little blurry, that's how it works when your on a mountain with an iPhone.

this should be my profile pic. ;) ;) ;)

gahhhhhhhhhh! so y'all, I went F21 yesterday, which I'm super excited about, cause like, they had sales + I love Forever 21 in general.

so I'm using pictures from online, because it is sorta, kinda, maybe, a long story to why I don't have my own pictures. anyways to the haul!!! :)

Daisy Darling Bib Necklace okay so I'm pretty much in LOVE with this necklace.

Floral Necklace I'm wearing this right now and I absolutely love the color! literally perfect for spring!

Worldly Beaded Fringe Bib Necklace this is so cute, I couldn't help myself. it is also a longer necklace, which is what I've been looking for.

Elephant Printed Tank this is my uhhhh, third elephant printed top.......

Floral Fantasy Brush Set since I'm starting to play around with make-up, it's perfectly logical to why I bought these. and they are just are really soft, oh, and cute. ;)

Femme Bow Hair Clip Set I have purchased bows from Forever 21 before, and was extremely happy how high quality they were/are!

this isn't a very big haul. believe me guys, I totally would have bought more. but money has to saved-and get put in the bank.

hope y'all enjoyed this! a skiing trip starts today so get ready for some snowy photos! :)

Mascara Review(s)

Maybelline Great Lash Clear Mascara & Maybelline The Rocket Volum' Express Mascara

Maybelline Clear Mascara when I first saw this I was all "what the...?" but now I found this a really helpful piece of make-up. this spreads out lashes and gives them a glossy, super extreme natural look. since I'm twelve, I don't find the need of a full face of make-up, so this is great for beginners! but be aware, because the formula of the mascara can comb your lashes out, but also join them together, but you can easily fix that. thin layers of this work best, but I personally like to layer coats for more of a pop.  you can use this to tame, fix, or to compliment to regular mascara, which is why I find this a great buy. overall I rate this 4 1/2 out of 5 stars! I bought mine at Target from $4.00 to $5.00.

Maybelline Volumizing Mascara something told me to purchase this at Target today! I put this on right after we got back to the hotel I'm staying at and when Maybelline slaps "Rocket Volum'" on the package, they really mean rocket, or intense volume! I already had the Clear Mascara on, so I believe that helped with compliment this mascara! I naturally also have long, curled, darker eyelashes, and this sure made them stand out even more! the mascara also lengthens easily! this was a great buy, and was really easy to apply. this still clumps a little (like any mascara,) so be careful! overall, I rate this product also a 4 1/2 out of 5 stars! I purchased this at Target for around $5.00 to $6.00.


remember to vote on the Monthly Outfit poll! :)

March's Outfits

1.

Pop of-tribal? oh!

2.

I'm wild AND free, lucky me.

3.

St. Pat's in L.A.


ok, so as you can tell, this month's outfits are more funky-but hey, fashion isn't about staying your comfort zone. I incorporated green in all the outfits for the luck of St. Patty's day coming up on the calendar.

last months winner was...Heartin' dat Floral! to see the winner of February and the other outfit nominees click here. be sure to vote on the poll which outfit would be in your dream Saint Patrick's day fashionista moment!

wanting to craft & photograph

as March kicked off, all I really wanted was some warm weather. nope. you see this isn't Tennessee anymore. this is COLORADO.

good luck with that, ME. yeah, so I guess March is the snowiest month here which I think is triple times crazy considering that it is the third-to-last-month in the school year because the last month is May. (lol "spoiler alert"). excuse that run on sentence. and SPRING starts this month.
well,

tell me you get why I'm annoyed. March, make up your mind.

so as summer gets closer & closer & closer & closer & closer----------every day, I keep dreaming up what I get to do everyday of the summer. like craft and photograph. too soon? well I see your thinking, "yo! whatever your name is over there man up and just do what you want to do now." jokes on you. I'm living in a hotel. it kinda sucks. excuse my language, stinks. literally. well, sometimes. so basically my life has been Youtube, Instagram, a little bit o' Pinterest, and...yeah. but it's not living on the edge of glory. I still have school (duh). luckily we have standardized tests for ANOTHER week, so I'm enjoying computer hours NOT doing homework. (yeah cause sixth graders really have hours of writing papers. not. that's why I'm enjoying life right now.)

goodbye lovlies, and don't worry about me. I'm living the dream. ;)

long live

"long live the walls we crashed through how the kingdoms lights shined just for me and you
