The Random Items That Make My Life A Little More Awesome

This post is totally random and I'm not sorry because sometimes, it's the little random things you'd never expect that tickle you pink!

The Two Foundations In My Routine

As a self-proclaimed makeup-junkie, I'm more than a little proud of the fact that I only have two foundations (currently...) that I use. I think they're both pretty great but recently my skin has become more dry so I'm looking to include a foundation with more hydration and a dewier finish. Here are my two:

The Things In My Etsy Cart...

I did it again, I filled my cart on Etsy with things that I cannot purchase at this time as a poor nursing student however, I intend to one day! Since Etsy just keeps your cart forever, I will just leave them there waiting for me!

As a future nurse, I feel I can fully appreciate this mug... As would any other healthcare provider.

Versatile Blogger Nomination Makes Me Feel All The Feels....

I just got nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award by Maria, (who is fabulous by the way and you should all read her blog!) and it is making me beam like the little ray of sunshine my father thinks I am! I found the rules here and so I'm just going to follow them because I'm so flattered it's difficult to be creative...

Pinterest-Inspired Hair Color Dreams (Do you have a "Sombre"?)

Does anyone else ever feel burnt out on trying to make their hair pretty? Sometimes I wake up and it's all I can do to throw some dry shampoo in my hair and go. I have naturally very fine, straight hair and it was always dirty blonde until about a year ago when it started to go more brunette... Just like my mom's hair did at my age. Go genetics, am I right?

So I did what most people who are terrified of going brunette do... I got foils. So I've been doing that for about a year now and I love it except for one thing.... The roots kill me. I am very particular about the condition of my hair, meaning it always has to look healthy but also BE healthy. I do many things to achieve this, including hair masks and copious amounts of coconut oil. So when something like ROOTS (rawr) ruins my "I'm a natural blonde" vibe, it drives me nuts. So I have been cruising Pinterest and that led me to the  website for the Ramirez/Tran Salon and, big surprise, I love it all. These are the colors I'm obsessed with getting done to help me maintain the blonde color but avoid the obvious roots....

This is my front runner!
