Ipsy Galm Bag!

My ipsy glam bag came in yesterday you guys! I am trying all the products first! Once I've tried them for a week and research price, size, retail size and if they are cruelty free or not, I shall be doing a Ipsy January 2014 review video which I shall post here and on YouTube. 

Stay tuned!

Good Morning

I am feeling a wee bit better after my two or three doses of DayQuil along with a dose of NyQuil. My throat is less scratchy than it was last night which is a relief. Also, I am not a congested anymore but only a little bit. I'm starting to take new steps to help ware off colds in the future. Things such as eating breakfast. As of right now, I am eating Peanut Butter toast.

Hello

I hope everyone is having a good day today! My day is going pretty good. I just got back from talking to a neighbor about pet sitting for her. Her dogs are absolutely adorable! I want to steal them! Anyways, I'm finally starting to feel a bit better since I have been taking doses of DayQuil and NyQuil along with the intake of orange juice and water. I've made three codes to tell if I am getting sick or am sick.
  • Code Red is the beginning symptoms of getting sick with a cold. Symptoms such as a runny nose or scratchy throat. That was all afternoon yesterday.
  • Code Grey is when I feel more sick. Symptoms would be a bad scratchy throat, congestion, lose of appetite and some lethargy. This was basically all day today.
  • Code Black is basically "I'm sick and miserable, don't bug me." This hasn't happened yet.
I have completely avoided Code Black, I'm in between Code Grey and Code Red at the moment. I can finally breathe easily through my nose but I still have times where I need to blow my nose. I am probably going to finish my mum's jug of Mango-Orange Juice. I've had about three or four glasses so far. Although I have lost my appetite, I did have some Ramen Noodles in Chicken Stock. Very delicious might I add. 

To be honest, I feel a bit like Raj from Big Bang Theory when he sneezed on Sheldon because he started drinking NyQuil or DayQuil through a flask when he was at work. The reason why I feel like Raj is because I have been taking many doses of NyQuil and DayQuil since yesterday. So far I've had two DayQuils and two NyQuils. 

This is absolutely terrible because last semester and over break I did not get sick at all! And now, I am getting sick! I can't get sick because I have babysitting, pet sitting, university, and maybe a future job. I'm trying to avoid getting sick at all costs. 

I've only gone outside once today and that was only to see my neighbor about pet sitting. I am actually going to start eating an apple everyday because one of my mum's friends swears by it. Her kids eat an apple everyday and they haven't gotten sick at all. I ate one last night and I am going to have one tonight before I go to bed. 

Right now, since I am feeling a bit under the weather I've been doing my a great majority of my homework. I have finished my reading for Public Speaking, nearly finished my homework problems for Math but I need help with one when my dad gets home, and now I am slowly working on my English Comp homework which is coming along very nicely. I love it when I have my homework done because then I don't need to worry about it later when I am in class. Being prepared is always a smart thing to do. 


I've been having a Black Adder marathon all morning. I am on Season 4 now! I love Rowan Atkinson. He is absolutely hilarious. I particularly love him as Mr. Bean and Johnny English. I have a dvd of his comedy show from when he was in Boston. My favourite part is his performance of Shakespeare. Very funny indeed because his knees would bang on the ground when he fell to his knees. 



Well toodle loo! :)

First Day of the Spring Semester

Hello everyone! Today I went back to university because the Spring Semester just started! Woohoo! Homework and papers to do! I had a great first day! I found all my classrooms easily since they are only in two buildings. 

My mom drops me off in the mornings because my first class starts at 8 in the morning. I went to my first class which was public speaking. It was a good day of introductory. My teacher is nice, she just got married over winter break. When she called my name for roll call, she actually pronounced it RIGHT! It usually takes someone about one or two tries to pronounce it correctly. I did get homework for that class, but it was just some reading. I am working on that right now actually.

My second class went great as well. The second class is a Math for Liberal Arts class since I am going to be transferring to a college on the West Coast. My teacher is very nice, but strict which is good when it comes to certain things such as cell phones being used in class. She also pronounced my last name CORRECTLY, you have no idea how happy I was. We went over the syllabus and such before we dove into the first part of the first section of the book. We talked about the difference between inductive and deductive reasoning. The subject is quite easy for me, however I did struggle on a question or two but I was able to figure it out. After that class ended, I headed out towards the Student Center; that has a cafe, game area and study area. 

I made my way over to the Student Center because a friend of mine from high school had a break about the same amount of time as I did. So we got to hang out and catch up on things since we haven't seen each other since the end of high school. It was a good down time between my second class and my last class. My friend said something I found very interesting. He said that he can see me hosting my own talk show or being on Fashion Police of E! I found this absolutely amazing because those are two dreams of mine in the future. We also talked about how I have a crush on Tom Hiddleston, hehe. 

When time of my free time ended, my friend walked me over to my class because hey, that's what friends do. He and I might be hanging out with another friend of ours from high school this weekend. I headed into my last class which was English Composition. My professor is pretty cool. The only thing that made me feel down was that my throat was starting to feel sore. However for the roll, we had to write our name, college email and an animal that we wanted to be. I put Tiger down for mine because I find Tigers absolutely fascinating, especially the White Tiger and the Bengal Tiger. After that class ended, it was time to head to the mall to meet up with Mum.

Now, here is where the fun begins. I left my last class and headed to the mall for a few reasons. I had to go to MICHAEL KORS to check on my application, check if they had the boots I wanted, return a textbook I didn't need and find the one I needed, and to also try on the MK boots I was in love with at Dillard's. 
I went to MICHAEL KORS and asked for assistance to see if they could give me any news about my application. I talked to a sales associate and the assistant manager. The assistant manager said she liked my Barbour coat. This coat has been getting a lot of attention. The sales associate said that she would put my application on tope of the applications with a sticky note that said I came in asking about my application. Hopefully I will hear something soon. By the way, I dressed up a bit more so that my dress code could be noticed by the staff. Dressing good helps make a good impression. After that, I looked to see if they had the black MK boots I was looking at, but they only had it in brown/black and luggage. I then headed to Barnes and Noble to meet up with my mum. Let me tell you, I was walking pretty fast, say walking like the Flash. Once I got to Barnes and Noble, I was a bit hot since my coat was also making me feel hot. My mum said she returned the book I had previously rented, but the book I needed was out of stock. The sales associate recommended the book store across from the mall which we added to our list of places to go. Once we finished there, we went to Dillard's to see if they had the boots in my size. Sadly they didn't but I tried on a size 7 which ended up fitting very well. We didn't purchase them because my mum and I are still thinking about it. 

We went to the car thinking we were going home, but then my mum and I decided to check out the Textbook Brokers store to see if they had the textbook I needed. My mum dropped me off and I went in to see while she found a place to park. When it was my turn, things got a bit flirty or at least I think they did. The guy operating the register I was at was being very cheeky with me. He was saying stuff about Rhode Island not being a state because it was so small and that Virginia Beach is the same size and Rhode Island. I looked that up and Virginia Beach can fit in Rhode Island at least two and half times, so he was very wrong. He was quite cute actually, but I am not getting involved with boys at the moment because of university and also it being my last semester here before we moved to the West Coast. Although he did save my life since they had the book I needed.

I just finished my math homework and I am working on my public speaking reading and then later on my English Comp. homework. At the moment, I am sucking on Halls, drinking water, bundled like an eskimo, wearing some fuzzy slippers, and taking doses of DayQuil and NyQuil since my throat is feeling sore. I refuse to get sick! I had such a good streak last semester and over winter break. 
I refuse.

My Life and My Ways

I was having a think while I was reading my book "Ooh La La: French Women's Secrets to Feeling Beautiful Every Day", I started thinking about the goals I've set for myself and what kind of future I wanted. I do like doing my homework and such on my own and figuring out ways to get closer to things. I always set three types of goals: short term, mid term, and long term. 

I love being single. It gives me the freedom to focus on myself, my grades at university, and time to think on what I want to be in the future rather than forcing me to give my full attention to a guy if I was in a relationship. Although, during my sophomore year of high school, I used being able to see my boyfriend as a reward for me to finish my work and to get good grades because if I didn't achieve the two, I wouldn't have been able to see him after school or on the weekends. I worked so hard last semester, and my hard work ended up with my name being on the Dean's List (I got straight A's) as my reward. That is a short term goal for me for this semester. I want to achieve the A's I need in order for me to be accepted into Western Washington when I transfer. I've also been focusing on my riding skills during my riding lessons which are now on Thursdays. I want my skills to be utter perfection for when I try out for the riding team at Western Washington University. 

Hercules and I
My mid term goals or really one of them is to revamp my wardrobe into a more classy version. Straight dress pants, classy blazers, chic pencil skirts, maybe one a Burberry trench coat, and a few gorgeous pea coats. I want my image to look more my age, or maybe a bit older. Another one of my mid term goals is to find a good paying job. I just dropped off an application at the MICHAEL KORS store at the local shopping mall. Tomorrow after my classes, I am going to go by and ask about my application.  I've already planned my outfit for tomorrow. I do love dressing up a bit more in order to look a certain part. It would be a dream come true if I got the job at MICHAEL KORS because the designer brand is one the I love very much. I own a few items of the brand; one being my new treasured Selma bag.



I adore the entertainment industry. I've always wanted to be apart of it. This is one of my long term goals for my life. I want to one be a news reporter for E! Network on the Red Carpet at the Golden Globes or the Tony Awards. I'd like to have a nice piece of property with room for me to stable a horse  or two and to also have a nice car such as a Range Rover. I want to major in journalism with a possible minor in theatre at Western Washington. I also want to be apart of a choir at Western Washington as well as many clubs as I can manage. I'd like to have a very eclectic resume for when I apply to internships and future jobs. The more eclectic my resume, the more job opportunities I would be in reach of. 

With determination, hard work, goal setting, and dedication I can and will achieve these goals I have set for myself and become who I long to be. A news reporter with E! Network. 

My Day just got Perfect… Not

Since tomorrow is the first day of the Spring Semester, I checked my Blackboard account this morning. Only one of my classes was showing earlier this week on Blackboard. When I checked it this morning, another one of my classes was showing. Just so you know, I just bought my books and went through a class schedule hassle. When I looked at the class just added to Blackboard, I found that I have bought the wrong book. Now, I have to return the book I thought we were going to use and rent/buy the book my professor said we will be using.

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit



FIVE STAR FILM



Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit was an amazing film! I have a knack for action films so this film pleased me very well. It had a great cast! Chris Pine, Kenneth Branagh, Kevin Costner and Keira Knightley! You couldn't ask for anymore! Another reason why it was so good was because Kevin Costner was in dress blues…. I mean, heart throb! A girl could die seeing a gorgeous man in a uniform. This was a very suspenseful film, it kept you on your toes nearly through the whole film.

My favorite line was when Cherevin told the minister "It was always for Russia," and the minister replied "So is this."

Rather ironic… But a great film.

DIY Queen and the Weekly Reads

Lately, I've been a bit more selfish about things that I like to do. For example, reading and DIY. DIY is things are so fun to do. I h...
