I heart spring tag!

Hi everyone, today I decided to do a slightly different tag, the I heart spring tag. I was inspired to do this tag by one of my best friends, sadie! Make sure to check out her blog here to see her tag. Lets jump into it!

What is your favourite spring nail polish color?

I have 1 for this spring! It has to be topshops/bp's peach puree, a peachy pink color (highly pigmented and thick formula). It is pretty and natural and I will definetly be purchasing more of them! 

What is your must have lip color this spring?

My favorite lip color for spring, well I have two, is a lip stick and a lip stain. My favorite lipstick is the bobbi brown lipstick in uber pink, and is a very creamy pigmented formula and is still very natural. And my favorite lipstain, as always is the benefits benetint, its lightweight and stays literally all day.  

What is your favorite spring dress?

My favorite spring dress is probably my short, slightly sheer, lightweight baby pink dress from brandy melville. Its perfect for spring and summer and is very bouncy. 

What is your favorite spring flower?

My favorite flower in general is a daisy, they are bright and sunny and are so pretty and are awesome to make flower crowns out of. 

What is your favourite spring accessory?

My white pearl earrings. They go with everything, and are very girly and stand out against tanner skin tones like myself. 

What spring trend are you looking forward to the most?


White nail polish! One because it is one of my favorite colors and it goes with everything! 

What is your favourite spring candle?

It has to be the bath and bodyworks beach cabana candle! It smells just like the seaside and is light and fresh and smells like the beach in my room!

What is spring like where you live?

Always sunny, chilly in the morning, warm in the afternoon, with a little rain once in a while. :)

What is your favorite thing about spring?

Yes this is my room, if your wondering. If you haven't noticed, I love strings of lights.

The weather, the smell (not weird at all, but I think you know what I mean), the clothes, the mood, everything!

Are you a spring cleaner? One hundred percent! My room is clean no matter what (i'm a decorator), and I have a habit of cleaning my best friends rooms (sonia, lauren, you know what I mean). 

Have you got any plans for Spring Break? Yes, I do! I am spending a week in Santa Cruz, and then have a few days to myself or with friends. 

 

Big sister talk! Heart to heart (Boyfriends, friend zone, anxiety, being happy!)

Hi everyone, so today I am going to be doing a sister talk, and these are just some questions that you guys ask me and I will try to give you the best advice/answer possible!

Q1: "I have been liking this guy for about 5 years, he's moved on but I can't. Help?"

Ok, so I have defiantly been there, but I would say the best thing to do was get your mind off him. There are so many guys who would be lucky to have you, and also time heals everything so I know it hurts but it will be ok in the end :)

Q2: " There is a rumor spreading around school that my friend is not pretty. I have never had a rumor spread about someone close to me, Im sorry if this sounds stupid but I just don't know what to do."

Honestly rumors are normally spread about people they are jealous of, and you shouldn't let something small like that get her down. Remember you are strong and beautiful and so is your friend, and you just need to keep telling her that. I hope she doesn't think that, and im not saying it's a bad thing to be insecure because everyone has their own opinion. I think you should try to be there for her as much as
you can, and be her wing women, I suppose. Don't make decisions for her though, it might hurt her more than help her.

Q3: "My close friend has been shutting me out. Sometimes she acts like we are best friends and other days she gives me the cold shoulder. Im not sure if I should talk to her about it because I hate it when we fight."

Confront her. It might seem scary at first but sometimes you need to talk it out before it gets any worse. Ask her about it when you two are alone in case of any outbursts, or pull her aside. I wouldn't recommend texting her because it is just better to talk face to face (trust me on this) I know it might be hard to confront her face to face, but it just feels a lot better.

Q4: "There is this cute boy at school that I like, he's not really shy but I am super nervous to talk to him and I stutter a lot. Is there any way I could boost my confidence or start a conversation?"

This might sound silly, but try having a conversation in the mirror, pretending your reflection is him. Smile a lot (makes you seem approachable and happy), and have good posture. What this will do is make you seem very confident and makes you feel it too!

Start up a simple convo about basic stuff (his shoes, sports, same teacher, hw, music, or even the weather) it might not be the most interesting thing to start of with, but at least you can get him talking. Once you start up a couple of these you can get into more interesting topics, and eventually get his number. A good way to bond with guys is by playing truth (like truth or dare, just minus the dare) when your texting so you can get to know him without seeming clingy!

Q5: "I have anxiety. I don't know how to control it, and I feel like its taking over my life. What should I do?"

Take a deep breath, its going to be ok. Not everyone has anxiety, but everyone can't control how they feel. There isn't really a way to stop it, but anxiety normally occurs when you are put in a frustrated or scared mood, and often occurs in the same setting, so if you can try to avoid those crucial areas. Remember to take deep slow breath, drink lots of water, and meditate before school, work, etc.

My new blog.

Hi everyone! So I have some news, I have a new blog! This one isn't beauty based, but it's mainly about loving yourself, loving others and feeling good in your own skin. You formally know me as couture4chicks, (click to go to that blog) and that was my beauty blog. I have been on c4c for 3 years, and I decided I needed to do something else. Now I am not saying I am dropping couture4chicks completely, I just won't be posting as much. My new blog will have the following:

-Health
-Fitness
-Recipes

-Skincare
-Beauty
-Happiness                                                
-Loving yourself
-Sister talks/advice
-Dealing with anxiety and stress
-Diy skincare remedies

Now this isn't as much for me as it is for the rest of the world, but I think everyone deserves to know that everyone loves you, and you should love yourselves no matter what. I admit, this will have lots of pictures from tumblr and is slightly tumblr themed just to give you guys a heads up.

I love you,
