"This Is Gonna Be One Of Those Nights"

What's one of the most exciting things you've experienced? For an unlucky person such as myself, any little thing can make me the happiest person in the world. I was just about to leave for work when my mom called me to tell me that I had won two tickets to the Tim McGraw concert 
ON THE SAME NIGHT. 

Naturally, I was ecstatic! I called up my best friend and straight after work we drove down. On the way to the concert, we decided it was a good idea to steal a flag from the side of the road 'cause I mean... 'Merica. 


When we got inside, Love and Theft had already started to play, I was a little bummed because I love them.. but I got to hear Angel Eyes so it's all good (:

Obviously Timmy was amazing, but Brantley Gilbert knocked it out of the park as well! (I'm so punny)

I also found my friend Emily


....and stole a cowboy hat.


Needless to say, I had an amazing night with good company.
(PS possibly a mini concert vlog going up!)

Beauty Review | Effaclar Duo



So... it"s been a while since I've updated any of my sites because I've been so time consumed with studying for my summer class / work. But since my class finished yesterday, I'm freeeee!

I first noticed my skin getting oilier around my sophomore year in high school. Based on a recommendation of one of my friends, I tried Proactiv. I'm not going to lie, it worked wonders for my skin for many years! Recently, however, I think it's effects began to fade and my acne's gotten progressively worse and worse :(

I thought that maybe it's a good time to change my skin care routine, and explore other options that might better suit me. With that in mind, I thought, "Who do I know of that has perfect skin?!" My mind automatically wandered to one of my favorite, if not my favorite, beauty gurus on the inter web Tanya Burr. I went through many of her blog posts / videos on YouTube, which are AMAZING if you've never checked them out, and found a video describing her favorite beauty products of 2012. She swore by this product by La Roche-Posay called Effaclar Duo. Being that I live in the U.S., it was a bit on the pricier size for a small tube of product, but if Tanya swears by it, it must be good!



I started using the product just two days ago, and I must say, I'm VERY impressed. I can already see a difference! My pores are much smaller, my acne has reduced if not completely faded, my skin's no longer oily and my makeup stays put on my face all day! All I can really say is "wow", this product honestly is amazing. I mentioned before that the tube is somewhat small, but not only do you get what you pay for, but a little product goes a long way. 

In a week or so, I plan on posting kind of a "check-in" video, and show you the results and differences I've personally noticed throughout my time using the product to give you a better idea of how it works. So stay tuned!

"Adults are only kids grown up, anyway."

If you know me well, you know that I'm quite obsessed with everything Disney.
Last month, me and my best friend ventured to the happiest place on earth!


The Tower of Terror is one of my faaaaavorite rides!

I'm also obsessed with Splash Mountain



Merrill and Jenna go wild.

I also got an amazing henna in Morocco that means "new beginnings"
(which turned out to be much more relevant and inspiration than I thought!)

I got me a turkey leg... ya gotta!

Whilst we were in Orlando, we needed to make a pit stop for a day at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure (I'm also a rather large Harry potter fan).
It was one of the best experiences, and it's something you should definitely check out if you're a fan of the books/movies.





Aaaaaand... Butter Beer!

Needless to say, I had an amazing Disney experience; as always of course!
I decided not to include too much detail because you'll be able to see it all and hear me vlog about my trip in my videos!

If you want to see video footage / vlogs and more of my Disney experience, check out the videos I'm beginning to make on my YouTube channel!
I'll link to those HERE




Bye lovelies (:

First Post!

Hey loves!

Bear with me, I've never done anything like this before (unless of course you count Tumblr). I've been wanting to start up a youtube channel for quite some time, and now that it's summer time, I figure it's the perfect opportunity to start!

I've been interested in the whole youtube community ever since I went to Disney World in the seventh grade. I hadn't been since I was very young, and I was curious as to what changed, so I decided to go on youtube and search "Disney World" that brought me to an overwhelming array of videos including family vacations. I was so intrigued by vacation and travel videos that I decided I wanted to someday make videos like that.

I got so entwined with everything about youtube and blogs, and even youtubers! So that's what brings me here. Being a shy as I am, I figured that creating a blog would help with my confidence and help to bring me out of my shell. I hope you get as much enjoyment out of it as I'm beginning to! (:

I'll also link over to my youtube channel, here:
