What Do You Want?


Have you ever dated someone and later looked back and thought, "What was I thinking?" Or liked someone that had little to nothing in common with you? Well, we are all humans, meaning we don't have the power to predict the future or how a certain relationship will work out. But if you take this advice, it might weed out the unsuitable suitors a little easier.

5 Ways to Change Up Your Room

It's a new year and who wants to carry the same old baggage into a brand new year? If you're like me, you'll take any excuse you can have to change things up a bit. Here are some very obvious, but inexpensive (for the most part) ways to change up your space!

9 Things To Do While You're Single

Being alone doesn't have to be sad and boring! Give a few of these fun ideas a try.

1.) Have girls night – Invite the friends over, do makeovers, facial masks (like this one), and just have girl talk!

2.) Take yourself out on a date – Take yourself for a nice dinner, to that movie you’ve been dying to see, or just out for ice cream.
 
3.) Buy yourself flowers – Who doesn’t love getting flowers? Being from yourself makes them no less beautiful.

Product Review: Rimmel The Max Volume Flash Mascara

$6-7 (Walmart, Target, drugstores)

I'm not sure when Rimmel London released this product, but I stumbled upon it for the first time in late December. I've always been pleased with their mascara, so I was excited to give this one a try.

Rejection


Rejection is an extremely painful thing. It is a mixture of anxiety over “putting yourself out there” and the wound that is made when you are turned away. Believe me, I’ve been rejected more than once. It hurts, it makes you lose confidence, and most of all, it can cause you to hate yourself. This should not be the case! If you are rejected, just learn from it and move on. It simply means it was the wrong person, wrong time, or a combination of both.

Mat Kearney's Closer to Love

Cutest Flats

I am a tall girl, around 5'9". I love the way heels look, but I never wear them because I do not like being taller than everyone else in the room. Maybe this is a confidence issue, something I should be working on. But for the time being, I'll probably stick to flats. I searched Target and Forever 21, my two favorite stores, for the cutest and cheapest flats out there!
