Fashionably Late!

I feel like I've abandoned my blog for too long, when I sit down at the computer sometimes I only have the energy to check facebook and log right back off, just because for so long this blog was a "oh I can post whenever, no one reads it anyways" but anyways enough rambling, on to the good stuff :)

I know it's not prom season right now, but it's really the only things I haven't talked about!! so, I'm going to show you all the dresses I tried on for prom...prepare to see some BAD dresses.







  The second red one I realize sits a little weird, but I just threw it on and didn't check haha! I wish I could show you the back, but I can't find the picture, it's like shoe lace, it just laces up your entire back I LOVED IT! and this black and white one was my final pic! My gorgeous prom dress!
I hope you guys enjoyed my late prom dresses :)
Please follow my personal blog, I promise you won't be bored!

AH! EXCITED!

Okay, I just got a burst of excitement, I was seeing were my views are from and saw one is from Ireland!! OMG! 1. Some of my family comes from there, and Czech, and 2. It's my dream destination! So whoever you are and if you're reading this right now, thank you for sending happiness my way :)

I'm so surprised at where all my viewers are from, most are from the US but I saw the UK, Australia, Pakistan, and Haiti. You guys are seriously the best, I never thought my blog would be read or viewed world wide! That's amazing!

Thank you all!

Love you,

Moisturizer review

Recently I bought Neutrogena Oil-free moisture for combination skin, I thought maybe this will work since it's the same brand as my face was, I broke out so bad from it and it was so drying that I just went back to using normal body lotion, I'll probably use it again just because I did spend my money on it, but I definitely don't recommend it.


















If you know of any good moisturizers let me know please! and it doesn't have to be for combination skin either. :)

Elementary

I don't about anyone else, but for me in elementary I use to wear overalls...





Shorts, dresses, full length pants, you name it, I wore it.
Well, the other day before I went to see Harry Potter, my best friends and I were in Forever 21, and we were kind of just playing dress up and what not, but we found overalls! and I just had to try them on!
Overalls were what my childhood consisted of...and of course 90's cartoons! I'm debating on going back and buying these I absolutely love them, they're super comfy and the ones I tried were definitely what you wear while you're working and of course while you're playing on the playground ♥
Hers are a little too dressy for what we use to wear, but it was the only other style they had.
Price: $22.80

P.S. If you guys want to do the "get to know me" post, go ahead.  I'd love to read your post, just post them in the comments if you do one!

1-15 (If you guys read this all the way through let me know in the comments that I didn't bore you!)


1. What is your favorite thing to do?
Hang out with my family and friends, do my makeup, and read!

2. If you could only fill your wardrobe from two stores, what would they be?
Forever21 and Rue21 probably.

3. What is your favorite book?
I have a lot of favorites, I like the Twilight saga, but only New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn, I also like Nicholas Sparks' books, The Wedding, A Walk to Remember, and A Bend In The Road.

4. If you could only shop one store for ALL of your makeup, what would it be?
Sephora. (and actually, if I wasn't in love with urban decay, I could live with buying my makeup at a drugstore)

5. What is your most embarrassing moment?

I'm not really sure, maybe when one of my friends thought it was funny to unsnap my bra and then the teacher tell me I had to move seats, and I wasn't able to fix it until after class...

6. What is your favorite song?
I actually answered this one above in the ABC

7. If you could go back in time, and tell your younger self one thing, what would it be?
I would tell myself to cherish every moment I have with my mom, since she passed away of cancer when I was just 11. And I definitely tell myself not to blame myself for her death because it's not my fault, and I'd say this "when you find that right guy, don't leave him wondering why you're mom isn't around. And definitely don't settle for anything less than you deserve. Make sure you keep your head up and be YOU, not what everyone else wants you to be, because no matter what, your mom is looking down smiling at you!"

8. What movie do you really want to see right now?
Harry Potter, I just saw it, but I soooooo want to see it again!!! I LOVED IT! or Winnie the Pooh, haha ♥

9. What do you want to persue a career in?
I'm not sure about the career part, I'm going to major in Sociology and minor in photography! With Sociology I can become a social worker or a case worker, and photography is just a dream I've had.. I use to want to be a fashion designer, but that didn't last long.

10. What is your guilty pleasure?
dr. pepper I guess, but I quit drinking pop!! :) so I guess it'd have to be Chocolate ice cream and Hot Fudge ♥ OR!! Peanut butter and Ham sandwich, tell me the weirdest food you eat in comments!!

11. What fashion/trend are you loving right now?
I don't really have a favorite, I love anything random that shows my personality.

12. Who is your celebrity idol?
Marilyn Monroe!

14. Who is your favorite person to hang out with?
Amanda (the girl in my youtube videos!) and Tabi, they're so funny and they know the real me! and my best friend Benjamin! he makes me laugh soooo much! and I can tell him anything!

15. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I don't know, by the ocean in Florida, I even thought about California, but I'm not a city girl, so really anywhere (except Nebraska) on farm! I'll more than likely marry a city boy, he'll have to like the farm life, cause I think it's beautiful! Cities just make people angry, and it's kinda sad.

I hope you guys enjoyed getting to know me. :)

Skin Care.

I'm trying something new, so let me know if you guys want more beauty blogs or if you want just fashion, or vote up at the top of my page. :)

The skin care products I've used are:
Clean and Clear Daily Pore Cleanser
Proactiv
St. Ives Apricot Scrub
Neutrogena Skin iD



I'm not exactly sure how well the Clean and Clear worked because it's been so long ago that I used it, I know it didn't work for my sister (which is why we switched over to ProActiv).
Now, ProActiv was seriously like my life saver, I loved it, it worked AMAZING only problem was it was like $60. So after that, I just went to using Paul Mitchell Tea Tree shampoo, on my face which may seem weird but it's a very minty shampoo so it woke you up and surprisingly it did clear up my acne pretty well. Recently, one of my friends introduced me to St. Ives apricot scrub, it worked really well for the first few months, but then I noticed it had stopped working, and I didn't like the texture of it, really sandy and if you put it anywhere near your mouth it got in there... which was really disgusting to me, it also didn't make my skin feel very clean either. Now, I'm currently using Skin iD and as long as I remember to use it and MOISTURIZE my face it works like a charm! A couple weeks ago I wouldn't suggest to a friend, now I definitely would! Some people say "It makes my skin feel tight" I agree it does, but if you put moisturizer on your face you wont have that problem.
So if you're looking for a good product to use, I definitely suggest either ProActiv or Skin iD!
If you're wondering Skin iD is $39.90 (and btw when the tv says it's only $19.99 or whatever it says, IT'S NOT TRUE!!) Proactiv prices depend, I guess they lowered their prices to $30 at the most, but that could be just a special. Either way if it's ProActiv you're looking into I'd jump on it now!! AND Skin iD usually has like "$5" off that they email you if you sign up, so If you've tried ProActiv and want to look into skin iD it's free to sign up and find out your numbers, when it gives you your personalized acne solution, that doesn't mean you have to buy it.. You can wait as long as you want.

I really hope this helps you guys!
Lots of Love,
Tay♥
