Three Words for NYC

I have been dreaming to travel to new destinations every year my entire life, but always incapable of doing so. I really wish that I could just travel as my job. So when I do have the opportunity to travel, I take it without hesitation. So far I have travelled to a lot places around my own country, and I've been to a few places in the U.S. and last march I travelled around England for 10 days (not nearly long enough!). I know this is not many places, but my excuse is that I am young and I still plan on travelling as much as possible in my lifetime.

A few weeks ago, I watched a video on Vimeo called "3 Words for NYC". Whoever created this video did an absolute amazing job. I cannot believe the talent that people have. This video that I've watched a few weeks ago, and as well 5 minutes ago made me want to write a blog post about it. It brought me back to New York City when I was there in February 2013. After the trip I was speechless. There was so much that had happened in just a few days and cannot express how grateful I was to be there. I am truly in love with city vibes and plan to live in a huge city when I am a bit older. And this video just summed up everything about New York. Here it is...

What Makes New York so Special ? In three words

(sorry that the video isn't available right on the blog, unfortunately I couldn't access it from YouTube) ENJOY!

There are so many beautiful places in this world, so if you have the opportunity to travel, do it. You will not be disappointed.

Yes this is a short blog post, but I just wanted to share this amazing video and I hope it will encourage you to explore what we have out there in the world. I can't wait to see the endless possibilities to arrive in the future. And I've barely seen anything compared to what this world has to offer.

TRAVEL

Beauty Post - Bourjois Volumizer Mascara

Happy September everyone!

I feel like this month we are off to a good start. The past week has been so productive and I've been getting everything ready for university... I am so excited to get back into routine. I will do my best to keep up with blog posts, but can't guarantee anything. I'm hoping that when I take study breaks, I will take the time to write a few posts.

Anyways, I've just recently been trying out a LOT of new make-up. And this mascara works wonders... It's called the Bourjois Volumizer Mascara. I decided to review this product because it is a product that stood out to me.


Firstly, I would like to point out that the packaging is gorgeous. I'm not a pink fanatic, but every once in a while it's nice to see and it doesn't look like a cheaply made product! The neat thing about this mascara is that it comes in two steps. The first step includes separating the lashes and giving it its length (something that we all look for in lashes). And the second step gives you the volume that we all want. I saw it on the makeup counter and it intrigued me that it had two steps - It was something I have never heard of before.

The nice thing about this product is that it is not time consuming. I sometimes can get very impatient when applying makeup and this helps time pass by even faster. I also love the fact that this mascara does NOT clump. I repeat, does NOT! There are very few mascaras that clump on my eyelashes and it can be so frustrating. As it is usually the last product to apply on my face, it must be perfect in order to look the way I want it to. For example, you want to avoid making any smudges or clumping so that you don't have to start over. Trust me, it is so frustrating when it happens, and thanks to this mascara I don't have to worry about it.

Lastly, the Bourjois Volumizer Mascara is very light on the eyes and lasts quite long. I've never had a problem with it flaking off or smudging under my eyes after long-wear. It does become a hassle when you worry about how your makeup looks later on in the day. When times get busy (thanks to school...) its nice to know that there's no worries of reapplication of this part of the makeup routine. It is so convenient and just a fantastic product overall.

I have no complaints of this mascara and will definitely continue to use this product, and most likely repurchase. The cost is very affordable, especially for us students! Only $20 - and you're getting great results from this price. It is well worth it to try this product!

Much love,
