How To Deal with Sensitive Skin

Hey guys! Many people believe they have sensitive skin, but do not have a clear idea of what is really is. It is not something that is easy to diagnose on your own, which is why you should see an doctor for a proper check-up. For those of you that have sensitive skin, it can be a challenge to find the right products for your skin's needs. I'm one of those "lucky" girls that have sensitive skin (oh, joy). When ever the weather changes, my hands and forearms get so irritated, and I admit that it's hard to resist scratching. there have been numerous times when my skin broke out do to a type of clothing detergent used to wash my clothes or a facial lotion that made my skin so red and irritated that it felt like it was burning up! I also have acne, which thankfully is under control by a couple prescriptions, and cleared it up right a way.

Thankfully, I outgrew some of the effects of having sensitive skin, but there are still a lot of effects that happen. To combat this crazy skin menace, here are some tips that I hope will help y'all out. But, I'm not a doctor, so take any issues up with one immediately, if you have any questions!
 








My Favourite Accessories for Spring

Hey there! I can't believe its already April. Where has the year gone ?!?! I feel as if I have just been studying for most of my waking hours,  but thank goodness its the weekend. I hardly did any shopping this month but I just couldn't resist sharing my favourite accessories for the spring. I have literally been wearing these few items all the time, because they go with almost every outfit I've been wearing lately.
The first one, is this cute scarf I bought from Garage, which is the Canadian equivalent to American Eagle or other stores with student-y type clothes. The scarf was an awesome find for $14.50 CAD. I love the skull pattern, as the skulls are made up of many types of print, like stripes and leopard print.There are small black ones along the edges of the scarf, and larger skulls that alternate between black rainbow coloured skulls. And, if I might add, it is a pretty huge rectangular scarf. I can wrap it around and wear it as a  maxi dress, or double it down as a skirt. It was the last one in the store, which makes it an even better find!


These earrings are so adorable! As soon as I saw them in the store, I bought them right away. I have been wearing these ones a lot this month, as they brighten up my outfit and somehow manage to make me looked more put together whenever I am sleep deprived and lazy. Mini sailboat earrings make everthing better.This came in a set with a plain pair of zirconia stud earrings,and a earrings modeled after the helm of a ship. The set was $9.99 from Claire's.


The next accessory I've been loving lately, is this ear cuff  that is also from Claire's ($7.50 CAD). Its designed to look like a tarnished and old piece of silver, which makes it so wearable. This is actually the same exact one that I bought during the summer, but I lost it at work.A few of my friends thought it was a real piercing until I removed it haha.


The last items on my list are these stunning bracelets that my friend gave me from Mexico. The detailing is eye catching and is just perfect for spring as they offer that bright pastel pop of colour to any outfit. I usually stack both and wear them with a cute top.


That was my list, what would be on yours? Thank you for reading, I'm off to bed now, before I turn into a zombie.
Goodnight

The Hunt for the Perfect Dress

Hello everyone! It's finally that time of year! As I'm approaching graduation, I am realizing that my time is slowly running out to find the perfect dress. I know a lot of girls that have already found theirs, but the hunt search has not been successful so far, in my case. It seems as though I am too picky, when it comes to choosing the right dress, when there are thousands of designs and colours right at my disposal. My ideal dress is a long gown, slightly fitted at the top, and flowy at the bottom, a light to medium-blue colour, strapless with a sweetheart neckline, and a satiny sheen. Too much? Who knows, maybe I'll find a frock that suits my strict criteria. What types of dresses are you all looking to wear on your prom night? 


Until next time,

^_^
