Boutiques.com!

As I've mentioned before, I really love watching beauty gurus on Youtube. I especially like Blair Fowler and Elle Fowler, who mentioned this in a video before. It's called Boutiques.com! It's a lot of fun, and an awesome way to distract yourself from things you actually need to be doing :P

To save you from reading a really long paragraph explaining what it is, I'll just link Elle's video explaining what is is

I've made a boutique of my own but I don't have much on it yet. If you make one, make sure you leave a link to your boutique so I can follow you, because I'm only following like 3 boutiques at the moment.

Just thought I'd share with you all, because it really is a cool website. Be expecting more posts coming this week, although I have work every day this week so they may be a bit short/late. I got my shoes for my prom dress so I'll be sure to show pictures in a post :) Have a great week!

What I'm Loving: March

These are the things I have been completely infatuated with this month. Let me know yours!

1. Frozen Yogurt

Specifically from 32 Degrees. We've gotten so many new frozen yogurt places around here its ridiculous. I've visited them all except for Yogurt Mountain, which is next. Anyway, before work if I'm craving something sweet I go to 32 Degrees and get a mix of chocolate and Tahitian vanilla yogurt, toped with strawberries, chocolate chips, and gummy bears. It is sooo good!

2. Nyquil

And no, I have not turned into a druggie. I have been sick for quite a while, it started as a cold which was bearable, then turned into a bad fever, then all was left was an awful cough, sore throat, and stuffy nose. My cough and throat were the worst once the fever was done, but Nyquil was my best friend during those weeks. I got such a wonderful sleep, it was amazing, and it made my throat feel SO much better too. The only downside is the taste, bleh!

3. Urban Decay Naked Palette

This palette is probably one of my favorite ones ever! The colors are so wearable, not over glittery or anything like that. Sooo many looks can be created with this, and it comes with that double sided liner. I love UD's palettes anyway, but sometimes their packaging is a little inconvenient size-wise. This however, is sleek and can so easily fit in my purse.

4. The thought of spring break

This is pretty self explanatory, but spring break is calling my name. First weekend are awesome concerts, the beach during the week, relaxing, etc. Only 2 more days!

Well that's it for now. Be sure you all let me know what has gotten you through the month of March! Later gators!
Love, Gracey

What to buy....help?

Hello hello! I'm trying to decide what to treat myself to for working so hard this semester. But I'm terrible with decisions, so I need you all to help me decide!

Idea #1: Nikon D3000 camera

Ok, this is a recent addition to my list. I noticed Lauren from Pamplemousse always posts amazing pictures, and I asked what camera she uses and this is the one. I may do some more research before I settle on this particular one, but a nice camera in general.

Idea #2: Ipad 2 (3G or no 3G?)

This is my other main choice. I could do so much with this thing it's not even funny, I'm sure you all know what you can do with an iPad. I also can't decide between 3G or no 3G. A lot of people say they've never had a use for 3G, so maybe I won't either? Share your thoughts, por favor :)

Those are my two main things to decide between, the other things are small like a pair of TOMS or something. So let me know your opinions, and share what you are currently saving for! Or deciding between on what to save for!

Color Inspiration: Yellow

As a continuation of my Color Inspiration series, this should brighten your Monday! Well I'm posting it on Sunday, but I'm assuming most of you will see this on Monday. Enjoy!









Yay yellow! Hope it brightened your day a bit :)


Hello again

Wow! It has seriously been forever since I've posted....I'm so inconsistent :( Sorry about that guys, I need to learn how to juggle school, work, boyfriend, and blog. That'll be my goal for next year. But summer is coming up soon so I'm excited to have lots of free time to start posting again. Please comment and tell me how you all have been, I've missed reading all of the comments!

Just an update on my life and whatnot...

Spring break is coming up next weekend (yay!) And I have lots planned for the first weekend of it! I'm going to fashion week here in Charleston, hopefully at least. And then driving up to Columbia with my friend for a Pretty Lights concert, then going to a Mimosa concert the next day. Woohoo! If you've never heard of Pretty Lights, you definitely should check them out...you can download all of their music for free on their website! (P.S. They aren't paying me to say this or anything) and check out Mimosa on itunes too!



Prom is coming up soon too, I'm going to 3 proms this year. I reaaally want to get tan for prom so I'm gonna be checking out some self-tanners and gradual tanners so that I can avoid the fake-bake tanning bed...which is what all my friends are doing. I've considered it, but they really freak me out, and are super dangerous. So if you have any good self tanner suggestions let me know! I've been thinking about those Beach Sexy ones from Victoria's Secret because they are only like $12...if anybody has used them feel free to tell me what you thought of them!

Well I guess that's about it. I may have another post up later today after work, we shall seeee. Later gators!
