Water Is Life

You MUST watch this... seriously you can spare the 2:13 seconds for something this important!



Recently a friend posted a link to this video on Facebook, I decided to take a look- and I am glad that I did. Not only does this video demonstrate the importance of something as simple as clean water, something that I think 99.9% of us take for granted, but it offers you a way to help. A small, infinitesimal way to help something with much greater a meaning that just another donation. 

As a recent college graduate, I feel like I have spent so much of this summer thinking about what I want to do, what I am doing, what I can do- and coming up with so few answers or explanations. I spent four years in college committing to something which truly had such incredible meaning for me- an experience one can only have in a college atmosphere. Now, outside of what we called the BC Bubble, (I went to Boston College if your new here...) and outside of my team- it's been a difficult transition trying to find something I am equally as passionate about with such immense meaning to me. This video though reminded me that this doesn't have to be in the form of one giant thing, but many different little things. 

I think what this video reminded me is that we should all make more of an effort to find meaning in our lives in things other than personal satisfaction and enjoyment- but satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment from doing something that will provide someone else with enjoyment.  If we get too wrapped up in the big picture, that enormous part of your life that just means the world to you, you might forget that happiness truly can come in the simple things, like water. 

Helping in this case doesn't have to be a donation- just by spreading the word, sharing the video to one friend who might share it to another who might be inspired and have the means to make a donation.. you never know what could be sparked by the simplicity of spreading the word...

Some of this & some of that

I am absolutely 100% obsessed with perfume, and I am always picking up a new scent here and there- this Jour de Hermes number!

I have really been trying to make time for more reading in my life, and this book by Robert Galbraith definitely has my attention!

Recently my best friend Cate introduced me to one of her favorite bloggers to follow LoveTaza- check it out!

Lastly, I have been eyeing these Valentino Patent Leather Booties on the Nordstrom site- unfortunately way out of any budget in the near future... but a girl can dream :)

13 of Bobbi's finest!



Make-up is my secret guilty pleasure, it is one of the (my dad would say many) impractical things I just love to purchase! This summer I decided to try out some of the Bobbi Brown Line and I have to tell you, I love it!

1-4 are my favorite everyday face products by Bobbi, I never really used face makeup and I am definitely still unsure if I'll stick with it but so far I love these products!
....4 Blush


5-6 are probably the top of my list by far, I absolutely love to play around with different eye make-up, these products are simple yet stunning for a classic everyday eye look!
....7 Eye Pencil

8-13 are pretty standard brushes used particular to each product/desired look. I have tried a few different brushes and must say I like these best! The best thing about the Bobbi Brown brushes is that they have an automatic LIFETIME warranty with your purchase!
...11 Blush Brush

H&M Online.... you got me.



H&M Online Shopping went LIVE this morning! H&M is not my typical "shop till you drop" store, but it is pretty reliable for a go-to basic or a novelty affordable jacket!

H&M stores can be found in over 40 countries, and as of this morning the United States added to the list of 9 countries which offer the corporations new online shopping venture! 

These are just a few of the items that caught my eye, fall and winter style look books are approaching quicker than we may think!
