DIY Spa Day

Hey everyone!
   Last weekend, a friend and I decided to have an unwind/ de-stress day.  We made a bunch of little "potions" and hoped for good results. (:  In about half an hour we had concocted a facial, nose treatment, lip scrub, and a hand/foot scrub.
   Out of these, I'm pretty sure the pumpkin "facial" and raspberry/mint nose treatment didn't do anything except irritate our skin.  Maybe I missed the benefits, but as far as I can tell there weren't any.  However, we made a brown sugar lip scrub that was AMAZING.  It felt so so good, tasted so sweet (I didn't eat it, just got a little on the inside of my lips while I was moving it around to exfoliate.) and was really easy to make.
   To make the lip scrub combine brown sugar and olive oil in a small bowl.  This doesn't require very much product, so just make what you think you will use. (We made too much of everything!)
   The hand/foot scrub was really great also.  My friend's mom made it, but I'm pretty sure it was just white sugar and olive oil.  The sugar feels really good while you have it on, then when you wash the scrub off the olive oil leaves hands perfectly moisturized and so very very soft!
   Here are some pictures of our little creations:

Raspberry cucumber water, yum (:

  I hope you are inspired to have your own diy spa day now!  Even if some of the mixtures were a total flop, it was a fun and cheap little activity for the day. 

Signature Scents

 Hey lovelies!  Wow, high school wears me out!  (:  Lately I have been thinking about what scent I want to wear frequently during winter.  Winter is my favorite season, I love getting all bundled up!  About two months ago, I think, Seventeen Magazine featured a little sniff-sample of Vera Wang's Lovestruck.  I absolutely love it!  I also love Leighton Meester, she is the face of the perfume.  I had to go smell it in stores as soon as we went out of town.  (Nobody locally carries it near my house)  It is wonderful, but then it got featured in a ton of fall perfume articles so I am hesitant now.  I like having unique scents not easily recognizable... something a person can remember me by, not just another familiar scent, you know?  So what scents are you loving this fall?  <3

Some Fun Facts About Me (:

Hello!  Hope everyone had a good Thursday, it's almost Friday!  (Yay!)  My first post is just going to be some random things about me before I get into the fashion posts etc.
Fun Facts:
1) I love animals!  I have dogs, horses, cats, a sheep, and well goldfish if they count.   (They don't do much, except swim in circles.)
2) I was really into bright, neon colors, but I now love zebra print and other random black and white print things.  My room is decked out in black and white decor and I am totally loving it!
3) My favorite color is purple, but I barely own any purple clothes.

4) I show Paint/Pinto horses around my state and out of state.  Above is a picture of my horse, Guess.
5) I just started high school, go freshman!
6) I love having my nails different colors every week.
7) I think my favorite thing I own is a pair of black below-the-knee Steve Madden boots.  I can wear anything with them and they make my entire overall look so much more polished!

Let me know if you have any questions for me, I'm happy to answer so you know the girl behind the blog a little better!
