*RAVE* - iPod Playlists!

If you know me personally, you know that I am a HUGE music fan. I like all kinds of music with the exception of MOST Classical music, hardcore rap & heavy metal. Other than that, I will pretty much give ANY artist a chance.

One of my favorite things to do is making playlists on my iPod. I have standard playlists that I have to make it easier for me to listen to a specific TYPE of music, but normally I just listen to my "current playlist" which I change out about once a week or so.

Here is what is currently on MY playlist. What's on yours?

Current Favorites: Beauty

I've discovered lots of new beauty and skincare products over time, so I thought I'd mention them here! I'll probably do a beauty favorites post every couple weeks or so, because I rotate my products so much it isn't even funny!

Anyway....onto the favorites!

Schick Intuition Naturals Razor

Schick Intuition Naturals Razor: I will never buy shaving cream again! This is so easy to use, no shaving cream needed because there is a bar of cream built into the razor, which makes your legs nice and soft!

M.A.C. Cleanse-Off Oil

M.A.C. Cleanse-Off Oil: This stuff is super gentle and takes off eye makeup so easily. I just put a little bit in my hands and gently rub the eye makeup off with my fingertips, then rinse with warm water. GREAT stuff and good for sensitive eye area!

Bioderma Crealine H2O

Bioderma Crealine H2O: This stuff is made in france and is pretty much only available in Europe in the UK - but thank god for eBay! It's kind of pricey but so worth it! It's a no-rinse cleanser that also removes makeup SO EASILY. And it feels like you are taking it off with PURE WATER without the drying effects! ABSOLUTELY amazing!!!

Hempz Body Moisturizer in Pomegranate

Hempz Body Moisturizer in Pomegranate: This stuff SMELLS AMAZING! And it's like liquid gold for your skin! It's great as a hand lotion or as an all over moisturizer. I AM OBSESSED with it!

LUSH It's Raining Men Shower Gel

LUSH It's Raining Men Shower Gel: Pretty much feels like you are washing up with pure honey with a slight citrus scent to it. Every time I wash up with this stuff my mood is lifted. HIGHLY recommended!

*RAVE* - Teavana Teas!

I recently walked into my local Teavana store, and was pretty much thrown into the world of tea. Now, I am an avid coffee drinker, and still am, at least in the morning. However, when I was introduced to the loose leaf tea world, I just had to dive in!

TEAS!!!! SO MANY TEAS!

Basically, Teavana has all of these cast iron tea pots, infusers, tea makers, etc as well as TONS of loose leave teas to choose from! They come in all these categories: White, Flavored White, Black, Green, Rooibos, Mate, Herbal & Oolong teas.

I have five teas right now and pretty much love them all. I also bought their "Perfect Tea Maker" which is PRETTY nifty. You put the tea in, your sweetener, hot water, seep it for the recommended time, then you put the tea maker on any mug and the freshly brewed tea will come out onto the mug, leaving the loose leaf tea behind. It was only $20.00, and so easy to use!

My Perfect Tea Maker seeping tea!

My advice to all of you is to head to a Teavana store, sample some teas or just sample the aroma! It turned me onto teas in a BIG way! My current favorite: Watermelon Mint Chiller White Tea - AMAZING! I can't wait to try it iced!

Enjoy your tea times in a whole new way, folks!

I'm BAAAAAACKKK!!!!

Wow. It's been almost a full year since I updated this thing.

Let's just say I lost inspiration. But what's the point of having a blog if you don't update it at least a couple times a week, right?

Lots of stuff has happened since my last post, and yet not enough has happened. I'll post all about the private part of my life in a couple months when I am able to talk about it all freely. Until then, expect posts about beauty products, tv shows, apps, rants & raves, etc.

I really don't know if anyone even follows this thing but...who cares???

Gonna update my profile, weekly photo and weekly lyric now, then get a couple more posts done this week.
