Woman Crush Wednesday

To go along with Man Candy Monday, there is also "Woman Crush Wednesday" which I also want to include as part of my blog. So every other week I will be switching between the two, choosing the man or woman I think is most deserving of this honor. This week's WCW in honour of her VMA performance of her new single "Roar" (which she killed)  and in honour of her album "Prism" coming out October 22 is Katy Perry



I have always been a huge fan of Katy. I think she is always stunning, sweet, and an amazing performer, definitely in my top five favourite concerts I have ever attended so she is clearly the perfect candidate to receive my blogs first WCW.


She also wore a grill to the VMA's on Sunday, which wouldn't be my personal choice but oddly enough, she worked it.


Welcome back Katy, Pop music has missed you dearly

Who should be the next WCW? Tell me in the comments below.

I was nominated for something???

So I was nominated by Jennifer for the Liebster award which is an award that helps you discover new blogs (I had no idea there was such thing, but so cool!). So thanks and shout out to her for the nomination.

How it works?
Step 1: Answer the questions that you've been asked!

3. What is your favourite beauty product?
Right now my favourite is Milani Brow Fix!
4. What has been your weirdest dream ever?
For some reason I never remember my dreams, but the last one I had was pretty odd. This girl (who doesn't like me) had bought my best friend concert tickets and it was a band she loved (in my dream, however in real life she doesn't even listen to) and my best friend went on about how this girl was a better best friend than me. It was just really weird.
5. What was your favourite childhood toy?
Probably Bratz dolls6. What kid are you (90s, 80s, 70s, 00s)?
I was born in '94 so I consider myself to be a 90's-00's kid7. Where is your favourite holiday destination?
Considering my family rarely travels and I have only been on a plane once I am going to say my dream destination and that is California8. Is there anything that you hate?
I can't think of anything! My nail polish is chipped though so I guess I can go with that.9. Do you want to get married?
If I ever get over my fear of commitment, yes I would love to!
10. Have you had a good summer?
I had a year-long summer because I took a year off before college, and it was fantastic. This summer, not so much.11. Post a selfie!
 
I have no good selfies, but this should suffice!

1. Who is your favourite band/ music artist?
2.What is one thing you can't live without?
3. Dream job?
4. What is your usual Starbucks order?
5. What is a relationship deal-breaker?

Quote Monday

I think since Monday's are pretty dreary I would give you all a little quote to make things a little brighter.
credit


I found this picture on tumblr and really enjoyed it. It's simple and to the point. Don't worry about what other people think, if they care that much about you then they have way too much time on their hands anyway. Be considerate of others, be the bigger person, don't change for anyone but yourself. Make your own choices. Make your parents proud.

Be the best version of you that you can possibly be.

Mean Girls: A Rant.

Today friends, we talk about something that everyone will have to deal with in their life whether we like it or not, and that is mean people, specifically mean girls, because they are a whole new level of mean. We have all been mean girls in our lives but there are some who just won't quit and with my experience, there are a few types of mean girl.

1. The Once-Friend-Now-Enemy (Frienemie)
These are the kind of mean girl who you were friends with at one point but somewhere along the line, she completely turned on you for little or no reason at all. They have a grudge against you and there is nothing that you can do but smile and wave when you see her in public and pray that she doesn't bite your head off.

2. The Mind-trick
Similar to the frienemie but sneakier, these are the mean girls who you don't even realize are mean until way after. She could be your best friend, but at the same time make you feel inches tall. You just let her get away with it because she is your friend after all and wouldn't dare to do anything to hurt you, because that's what she told you. Even if everyone else can clearly see her true colours, you're blinded by her nice girl disguise.

3. The "I'm Better Than You" 
These girls, usually popular, seem to think they have the world on a string. It's their world and we are all just living in it. They are usually mean due to the fact that they can get whatever they want, whenever they want it. This girl can never be happy with what they have and always want better.

4. The Friend Jumper
That one girl who can't seem to stay friends with someone for too long. She meets someone and they instantly click but then a couple months later, she claim to hate said friend and move on to someone new and keep repeating this cycle, sometimes even recycling when she runs out of people to be friends with

5. Eternal Mean Girl
The girl who seems to be stuck in high school and still thinks its cool to be malicious and hurtful. The girl who is bitter, but not sarcastic, and never has anything nice to say. She has her one group of friends that try to act like "The Plastics" but aren't cutting it. It's these girls who will have one group of friends their whole life and be curious as to why no one likes them.

Why are girls mean?
When girls hate on each other it's usually out of jealousy, because they either want to be more like them or want something that they have. They have a one track mind and the only thing on it is themselves and their well-being. All girls are mean, its just a matter of how mean they are to truly be considered as a mean girl. We have all said things about someone, its all a matter of perspective. True mean girls don't care about the feelings of others because in their mind, they are the only ones who matter.

How to avoid them?
You can't, they will always be there. Something you should always remember about these girls is that they are bullies and won't be going anywhere in life, they will always be mean. You do you. Be yourself and just don't let them bring you down because you are awesome.

Man Crush Monday: Nick Jonas

"Man Candy Monday" is something that happens frequently on Twitter and Instagram and I think it's something that I would like to do on here too. So to start it off I need to start with my one true love, Nick Jonas.


Who is he? Nick is the youngest of everyone's favourite former Disney trio, The Jonas Brothers.
Why love him? Well if his smile doesn't make you weak in the knees should I direct you to his recent Instagram post?



Also because he has the voice of an angel, plays not only guitar but piano and drums and loves his family.
He also doesn't look too bad in a baseball uniform.

Enjoy your Man Candy and come back to see who I choose for next week

Oops, I bought stuff?

Like most fashion/beauty blogs, I am going to be documenting the stuff that I buy, also known as "hauls" in the world of beauty gurus everywhere. And for my first haul I am going to show you a couple things I decided to buy after I paid for my college tuition (total a legit reason, do not judge me) I didn't but much because 1. I need this money for school and can't spend all of it and 2. I am not used to having all this money in my possession and it is frightening.

However, like most girls, I can not leave the mall without buying things and American Eagle also had a sale? So while I was wandering through the mall with my mom, we went into AE and I found a cute black crop top (it was $19.99 but was $10 when I got to the register) which is something I have been looking for *forever* . and this one was perfect. It wasn't super tight like most that I have seen and it wasn't too short, which is also something I have seen. so I had to try it on and it fit perfectly. I also found a pair of these high waisted shorts, similar to a pair I bought a few weeks prior which I loved, so I got those as well in a pinkish denim. They are called "high-waisted festival shorties" (normally $46 on for $20) and I first saw them back near the beginning of the summer in one of MeghanRosette's hauls (I adore her) and I fell in love. 

The last thing I bought was a phone case from Aldo Accessories because I have an addiction, expect a post about my collection soon, It is a sideways picture of a cat with green eyes, and its super adorable and was only $12 so I figured I might as well.


And this ends my first haul, Hooray!

The Real Introduction

After months of not having a computer and thinking that an iPad would suffice I quickly discovered that i was sorely mistaken being sans computer for eight months, I decided that the first thing I would do after getting one would be to start blogging again because honestly, I missed it and it makes me happy.

So I welcome you all to my beauty/fashion/lifestyle/whatever blog in which I show you stuff that I have bought, give reviews, quick tips, and sometimes just ramble about whatever.

My name is Jess, I am nineteen years old, and I want to keep this blog throughout my college years to see how my inspirations change and how I change and develop as a person. This blog will take inspiration from other great bloggers who I love such as Elle Fowler, Zoella, and Lo Bosworth and the great Lauren Conrad. So you can expect a whole lot of girly goodness and I hope you care to stick around because I'm only getting started and have a whole lot of ideas and a big project I'm hoping to make announcements about super soon so stay tuned!

♥Jess
