Favorites: October


October is coming to an end, so I decided that (since I haven't done one in a while) a 'favorites' post was due. These are just a couple things I have been absolutely loving throughout October, and will probably continue to love for much longer.

#1
White High-top Converse
I wear these shoes pretty much everyday. They are perfect for casual days but you could even get away with wearing them with something nicer like a dress or a skirt...just maybe not too fancy.

#2
Essie Licorice Nail Polish
I tend to be afraid of wearing any nail polish color that isn't black or some shade of blue, so this classic essie color lasts super long (which is great since I am a huge nail biter) and even when it does chip, it still looks pretty awesome.

#3
A to Z
I have recently started to watch a ton of TV shows, like a little bit too many, but one show that I love is called A to Z with Ben Feldman and Cristin Milioti (who I loved from How I Met Your Mother). It is basically a show about the relationship between these two characters Andrew and Zelda, hence 'A' to 'Z', and is a super cute entertaining comedy. You should all start watching it.


#4
Sudoku App
I know this sounds weird but when I was younger, like probably around age 8 or something, I loved playing Sudoku. For those of you who don't know is a logic-based number-placement puzzle game. The objective is to fill a 9×9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 sub-grids that compose the grid contains all of the digits from 1 to 9. Anyways, I was obsessed with it and would play it in the on an airplane...pretty much everywhere. So a couple weeks ago I decided to get a sudoku app and haven't been able to put it down since. ;)

Sephora Collection Rouge Cream Lipstick

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette
I was very inspired this fall to try out a darker red lipstick color. This stuff stays on all day and barely looses its color. I only had to re-apply like once through the whole day. It was just really fun to wear, and it made it really feel like autumn outside.
For the eyeshadow, I found that the pink colors worked perfectly for my skin tone and they are light enough that if you want to create a subtle eye look it is easy to do, and also easy to build up for a darker look.

Madewell
I have recently become a huge Madewell fan. Although the clothing there is super super SUPER expensive, I could spend hours in the store walking around and just admiring everything. Their jeans are amazing, and their sales are actually not half bad. You could get a reasonably priced shirt that is super cute and really high quality, so that price is totally worth it.
#8
DevaCurl anGel
If any of you have curly hair, then you can understand the struggle of finding the right hair product for your type of curls. I began using this product this month and the difference between what my hair used to look like and how it looks now is so substantial that I am never going back. The anGel product is a hair gel but it doesn't make my hair crusty and lasts literally 24 hours. It also works for any type of curl, so if you need a new product try this out.

Helpful Tips: Selfie

The word 'Selfie' is now in the dictionary. I am pretty sure that I have never met anyone (other than my dad) who has never taken a selfie before. 
There is now a distinction between a good and a bad selfie, so here are my 'tips' for taking a 'good' selfie.



1. Find good lighting. The light will hide the ugly face your making. 


2. Find the right angle for your face. (Not that you don't spend enough time in front of the mirror already)


3. The less your face is in the picture, the better. 


4. USE A FILTER!! 



Here are some more examples of selfies I have taken in the past. Enjoy!
