I finally upgraded my faithful old droid phone to a brand new Samsung Note 3. Oh. My. Phone. This this is awesome half phone, half tablet, all I can say is I am in love. One of the major features of the phone is the stylus that gives you the capability to write on the screen. And draw.
That is where the idea of draw my week came in. I have to be honest, sometimes the words just don't come to me for blogging and instagram is great for capturing a moment of your day in an image but honestly I rarely have time for it. My phone has a drawing program and I thought, why not draw an image that represents my day and post it on the blog?
So here is my week in pictures!
Monday - Feeling spring is almost here!
Tuesday - Need a sweet treat to get me through, good thing there is a French cafe nearby!
Wednesday - Text message from the boss this morning. Grammar may have been altered...
Thursday - Negative 20 windchills, winter is still in full force
Friday - New Girls Generation Mr. Mr. Video!!!!! Shoshi sone for life!
As I sit down to write this blog I have this giant macaroon pastry tempting me!
It was pretty awesome
So yummy, so unhealthy!
An integral part of having a makeup/beauty/fashion addiction is the hunt. How do I describe the hunt…? It is easy for one to just collect or haul lots of makeup, but eventually one gets to the point where just buying a lot of things just doesn’t do the trick anymore. Like any addict you have to up the ante. Once you have a lot of something, more of that certain something just doesn’t do it anymore.
That is where the hunt comes in. The hunt is when you begin to look for that one product that fills the void in your collection. Now it can’t just be any product but rather that rare, different, unique or hard to obtain product that makes your heart race.
And you can’t just buy the product. You have to yearn for it, build the suspense, merely buying it would kill the thrill of the hunt.
And do I bring you my current list of things I am currently pinning for.
Tarte LipSurge Skintuitive Lip Tint
I also love the watercolor floral pattern
This glossy lip crayon reads your lip PH and warmth of your lips to adjust to the perfect shade of pink! Omgosh you guys a color changing lipgloss! I definitely do not own anything like this in my collection and it most certainly is a charming gimmick. I wonder if it is like those rings we wore as kids, and changes with my mood. Either way this stuff is awesome and I tested it out at Ulta, this stuff truly does deliver a unique shade to each person.
Etude House Water Color Blusher in Lavender
Lavender for your cheeks!
Such a cute package
Okay so how cute is this gel blush in a ‘paint tube.’ I love when package is cute or unique. Package is a big thrill for the makeup addicted. Anyways this blush is not only cute but an unconventional color to boot! I have been rather obsessed with lavender blush since I heard that it can make you look more youthful. Now I had reserved that honor to baby pink blushes but lavender is supposed to play the youth game much better than pink. I’m intrigued by this color and I can’t wait to try it out for myself.
Too Faced Chocolate Bar
Oh yeah
Such beautiful colors
This palette is made out of cocoa powder! And it smells amazing. I would be tempted to taste test it… just kidding… maybe. But seriously this palette is gorgeous and too faced eyeshadows are one of my favorite formulas. Smooth, richly pigmented, buttery, blendable chocolate… on your eyes! I just can’t even explain it. Plus the packaging is adorable and I would expect no less from too faced.
Those are the little beauties that have made my addicted little heart go pitter-pat lately.

This month I have been trying to embrace straighter hair.
January was the month of being a shut in. I’m serous, it was so bitterly cold here that leaving the house was just not a good idea. Like windchills that were 30 below cold. So frankly the outside world really held no appeal to me. This month’s favorite were definitely the favorites of an Arctic shut in.
My first favorite would have to be moisturizing products. 30 below windchills mean some seriously dry air. I have really been loving my Hada Labo hyarulonic acid moisturizer, the one product that has really saved my dry and sensitive skin. I have also been loving the mojito lip balm from this months ipsy bag. It does everything that my beloved aquaphor does but it also seems to last longer and soothe better. I also feel like this stuff plumps my lips up a bit too, which isn’t a bad thing. But I have to say, the big superstar product of the month was Aussie 3 minute miracle, this was recommended by a friend and has seriously made a 180 degree improvement in my hair. I actually feel like my hair is back to being healthy after only a few uses of this bad boy. A haircut and replacing my regular conditioner with this little miracle has been exactly what my dehydrated and fried hair needed.
Super Moisture Power
Being a shut in has made me more dependent on the internet. Internet shopping has been my addiction lately and modcloth has been my drug of choice. This site is so freaking cute! I adore the vintage vibe the clothes have and I can’t stop browsing this site. They have all the cute little dresses my heart desires. Of course with the brutal weather, purchasing these little babies right now wouldn’t be the wisest decision. But I am longing for some of these goodies, and they are making me dream of the balmy days of spring.
How Adorable is this Dress?
Need
Of course netflix has been my savour in this frigid month. Honestly the invention of netflix instant steaming has made it so easy to not want to leave the house. You guys serious, the best stuff is on netflix now! Obviously I gotta mention Gossip Girl. Blair Waldorf is my spirit animal and non stop streaming of her epic fashion choices has been a little bit of bliss in this bleak month. Watch season 1 and tell me that she isn’t perfect.
It must be the uniform chic that I love so much.
The serial killer we all can relate to.
On the other side of things, all seasons of Dexter, everyone's favorite serial killer, have been added and is my current viewing pleasure. Although, I would advise skipping the last season because honestly it is a disgrace to the Dexter legacy.
Movie wise I loved watching The Brass Tea Pot with Juno Temple and I think Amanda Seyfried was stunning in Lovelace.
Well guys, those were my January favorites! I’m hoping for some more sunshine and slightly warmer temps in February!
