Do yourself a favor and go buy these things



I have found a few things I must share. These are just too good to keep to myself.

Twist bands. These may just be the best things ever invented.



One: they don't damage your hair. If you wear you hair up like I do almost every day, you know this is an amazing thing.

Two: No more dents in your hair from your ponytail holders. You know that awful crease you get in your hair when you've worn you hair up all day? Well these eliminate it! Amaze!

Three: Work out? These actually hold your hair back the entire time. My hair always falls out of my ponytail holder at the gym. I tried mine for the first time today and it passed the gym test with flying colors! My hair stayed in place the entire time.


Four: They are adorable. They come in solids, metallics, tie dyes, prints...you name it. You will have a color for every outfit. I bought the brown,white,and black solids, but I will definitely be back for more. Cost is 8.00 for three. I purchased mine at a local boutique in Raleigh called Uniquities, but you can order these off the site!

Nude heels. I feel like I'm forever in search of the perfect nude heel. Not too dark, not too light, not too high of a heel, not to short. Well I've found it!! And you'll never guess where. Target!
Yes, the perfect nude heel is located at Target. It is called the Mossimo Pearce Pumps in Camel Patent. And for only 29.99 they were a steal! I definitely have a few weddings in the spring I'll be wearing these to!

The above picture was taken from Target.com

These pictures I took of the ones I purchased. You can see the sheen of the patent better in these. So cute! I can't wait to wear them!

The best smokey eye kit. My sister let me in on this one. It's an eyeshadow kit from Sephora by Sephora Collection. It's called Smoky Black 01. I wore this on nye and not only was it incredibly easy to apply, it lasted all night! No fading and no touch ups were needed. It shows you how to do a natural eye and an intense eye on the back. Cost was 24.00 which I though was an amazing price for such a good size shadow palette.


I love the glitter section on the left!
They also have lots of other awesome palettes that I can't wait to try!

My smokey eye on NYE. I should have taken an up close picture. Now I'll know for next time!


I hope you all enjoyed these little goodies! Tomorrow is back to work for me. Having a long weekend was so nice, but a four day work week isn't too bad either!

xoxo Olivia
