#1 Thing ALL Beauty Guru's Must Have?

Everyone has different skin compositions and different hair texture, but one thing all beauty gurus share is a friendly personality.  We must have patience as tribute to our great personalities.  Being calm and being able to not rush into anything is patience and it is the #1 beauty guru must have.  We are constantly creeping on our monthly favorites and we have to have patience to gather up our other must haves.  Another popular video we need patience for is our empties.  I hate to hoard empty items in my house, but I keep them in a separate hard-to-reach area under the bathroom sink and I have the patience to collect them.  Obviously, when I am done filming the video I will have the discipline to throw it all away, because there is no longer a need to hold on to them.  Above discipline is patience and it is the #1 beauty guru must have.

Garnier Products!

When it wasn't the day to use my Neutrogena for my hair I used Garnier.  I love the shampoo and condition from this line because the shampoo really does clean, and the conditioner really does soften!  Personally, I believe this hair product is unisex because it doesn't include a flirty girl scent.  The packaging is also very amazing, but maybe its because I am obsessed with everything green!  The price is right and you only need a small handful to wash and condition your hair properly.  I believe you should only use the Neautrogena Triple Moisture on a weekly basis because it does triple of what Garnier does (hence the name ;P ).  Although I might say I prefer Neautrogena over Garnier the reason is because it does such an amazing job deep cleaning and super softening my hair.

Obsessed with Spanish?

Half of me is biologically spanish, but all my life I have grown up around a completely semi-Californian, native Floridian and adoptive Virginian lifestyle.  I used to love Pandora and finding new music was such a win for me, but if I liked a song back then I would have to go and screen shot the page so I could find it again.  This was a silly and time wasting process.  I was so happy when I found Spotify and discovered how vast my options where.  I now have a techno playlist, an emotional playlist and even a spanish playlist; I have music for whatever mood I am in.  Spotify has a free subscription that if you haven't tried out you should!  I am specifically obsessed with my spanish playlist.  What are you adoring now?

Training To A 5-K

I decided in Novermeber 2012 that I wanted to run better, faster and stronger.  I have been going at it and not receiving the results I expected.  In order to change that, I found a running plan called The Couch-To-5K.    Not only do they provide a schedule that will get me running better in 9 weeks, but it also has apps for phones.  The app has a zombie option and you have to run from the zombies!  I think that it is really cool and I am really excited to try it out.  I have looked over the plan over and over and I have decided that my body is going to get stronger and I will be able to run the whole 3 miles at the end of the 9 weeks.  I am so excited!

Eerie Earrings

All my friends have the cutest earrings that I have ever seen!  Whenever I ask them where they got it they always tell me Forever 21 or Icing and the problem is I am hypo-allergenic to those brands!  I can only wear the 4 precious stones my dad bought me.  Don't get me wrong I love the rubies, peridot, sapphire and diamonds, but I wish I could wear the hip and cool earrings like my friends.  If only there was a special spray to protect my ear from getting infected... I really need a solution for my eerie ears!

Future Fashion Designer?

During the 15 minute break at school, I ask my friends for a description of their dream house, then I draw it.  In my opinion, this is the start of a life long love.  Fashion designing has always interested me and I have slightly pursued that with the launching of my youtube channel.  I have found several great websites for my interest.  Houzz is an app that gives fashionistas inspiration and from there they can pin the images onto boards they create.  I also like Auto Desk Home Styler which involves creating a floor plan for a house, apartment or building.  I am in the process of finding a good clothing designing app.  In the end, I want to become familiar and comfortable with making a design.  I would also like to identify and become familiar with famous designers.  Hopefully, when I am designed bags I will have a teenager who looks up to me.

Everyday Posts? #thebusylife

Yell at me: go ahead.  Oh wait... there is no one to yell at me because no one reads these posts :p  Hopefully, someone will love me enough though to read these eventually.  I am sure by the time I get some attention on my blog I will be insanely amazing at writing; I really hope I get better at writing soon.  If you haven't realized, and you probably didn't, I haven't been created posts everyday like I said I would... I guess school just took over my life :P but actually it is a lot more than that this month.

This month I was participating in this bet with my parents, each of us pitched in $33.33 and then the winner would receive the $100 to spend however they choose: all we had to do was get the most points on vocabulary.com.  I got super duper excited and started doing vocabulary words like crazy!  I obviously know why my parents did this, its because they want me to be prepared for my SAT's sophomore year.  I love knowing they care :)

I started this boxing class called LA boxing.  My parents signed me up for the 6 month membership and I really have to start going more often!  I walk to the class because it is a fence-jump from my house.  Although, like a good girl, I walk all around the gate and on the side walk to class.  I really like boxing and I burn so many calories, especially for bikini-wanting Alicia.

I got several phone calls from mothers and fathers who wanted me to baby sit their kids.  I put up an ad in my neighborhood billboard and was ecstatic to get phone calls!  I got my first baby sitting job with Noah who is 5 and Ty (Tyler) who is 10.  They are both adorable and fun to be around.  I was immediately able to tell that Noah was a mama's boy because he was so loving, hugging, and he was the hand holding type.  Ty was super easy to talk to and I could actually talk to him like he was my friend.  I found out he likes Black Ops, Minecraft and Dubstep... which I surprisingly like too.  I hope they liked me and I hope to babysit them again.

Tell me how your life is going?  Please?  haha :)

Nail Polish Collection Review: Icing & Claire's

All that glitters is certainly not gold.  When I used to walk into Claire's and Icings I was always overwhelmed with their collection of bag and jewelry: now I am disgusted.  I hate Claire's and Icing is O.K.  First off all, they are both super pricey and their cosmetics are worse then E.L.F!(Although, E.L.F is great ;) )  Let's get into the details!  :)




This is my Claire's top coat with what seems to be a green undertone, pumped with glitter.  I like the color, really, its pretty!  The problem is that it RUIN'S the color I am trying to enhance, even after I have waited for it to dry.

This was one of my first nail polishes before my parents started to let me wear makeup.  It is a clear top coat from Claire's and just like the sparkly top coat, it destroys the color I am trying to paint it over.  :(  Which leads to me not using this nor the other Claire's product.

When I finally hit my teenage years I strolled into Icing.  This color is a deep purple that is not my favorite... I personally don't lean toward dark colors because it reminds me of winter: and the depressing single Christmas's I spend alone.  :p (True story though.)  This product changes color and creates a unique X design when a magnet hovers the paint.  It is a cool idea, but not worth it.



If you take anything away from this post, then please realize that Claire's and Icing products suck!  They are extremely expensive and shouldn't be sold.  Hopefully you take my advice and won't have to suffer!!

Pinterest vs Tumbler ft. Boys?

Don't even get me started.  I love Pinterest and could rant on and on about this online pin board.  I am more that 100% sure that I will get addicted to Tumblr if I get started, so I refrain from making an account.  If some one were to ask me, Pinterest of Tumblr?  My immediate response is PINTEREST!  I spend morning walks to the bus stop and bus rides home with the Pinterest app open.  I enjoy my lunches pinning clothing, inspiration and cute pictures on Pinterest anyone would call me an addict.  What's weird is that boys don't usually pin or tumble... so what do they do all day?  That is a good question.

One day, I was talking to my friend, a tumblr addict, and she was telling me how similar Pinterest was to tumblr, but how tumblr was better.  I asked her why and she said it's because she is used to using it.  I believe Tumblr vs. Pinterest will be an issue like Edward vs. Jacob because to be honest I like Pinterest, but don't have a logical answer to.  Leave a comment below telling me Pinterest or Tumblr.

Boys don't normally use Tumblr or Pinterest, unless most of their friends are girls.  Not because they are gay, although that is fine, but because people tend to do the things their friends do.  If you think about it, what is their to pin/tumble anyways?  Hot guys and cute clothes right?  Therefore guys don't have a reason to get involved in this.  I'm not of the male gender, but I think I can safely say boys either sleep, play games, eat, watch tv, and if your lucky, play sports.  To them Tumblr or Pinterest is a girl activity which is totally cool: We don't need them to mess it up.

I love Pinterest, but I also love my twitter.  Please follow my instagram, @drali1 and please please take a look at my latest youtube video!
