As Summer quickly approaches if Mother Nature will stop playing games with us ( eventually ) I have been stocking up on my favorite Hand Lotions. I absolutely hate having dry hands especially during the Summer and Winter Seasons. I start sneezing non stop when the scent of hand lotions and perfumes are way to strong. So, I always have to opt for light scents that smells really nice.
I always try to stick with the same scents so it becomes my scent but then I get bored rather to quickly so I end up venturing to find a new scent. You know when you are on the hunt for a new scent but you also don't want to smell like anyone else either. It's crazy. Who knew finding a new scent was so hard?!
I have decided to jump onto the " Off The Shoulder " trend that I have been seeing. Normally with trends they don't work for everyone. It's a hit or miss sometimes. Lets just say that I have been eying this particular Off The Shoulder top for awhile now and when I had the opportunity to get it well I didn't think twice.
Are we really surprised that this top just happened to be Striped? Okay I am going to be honest I didn't know what to expect when I opened the package. First instinct was yes I will love it cause it was striped but then as I attempted to try it on I was iffy about it. It took me a whole week to pick through all my new clothing to find this baby.
Seeing as though the original pair of High-Waisted Denim I wanted to wear was not my size ( which is currently on the way back to the original country ) I had to come up with another look all together that was simple and yet standoutish. Like my personal style or signature look in a way.
I honestly thought of so many pairings for this top it was ridiculous. It just goes to show how versatile this Off The Shoulder top actually is. For my first look ( with this top ) I opted for my only pair ( for now ) of cropped denim from H&M and a Long Duster Vest from Forever 21. I always tend to check the weather before styling any outfit and with all the rain we have been having recently actually finding the time to go and take photos became a hassle. Curse you Mother Nature and your ability to ruin my photo taking days lol.
In the end this look worked out cause it was my second favorite that I shot and I am also working on a Summer Lookbook. I will be doing around 4 looks that will be up soon. Now that the weather is somewhat working with us now.
This top will definitely be featured cause I am loving it now. First it was iffy, then like now love.
I am also in the process of changing my hair colour so I have been stripping the colour out of my hair slowly. Tis why it looks green!

The Perfect Beauty Guide
We have all been embroiled in a war of words with each other about the best beauty products. Which one is better? Which is best for what skin type? The truth is that most of us have to experiment a lot to find a product that suits our skin type. Is there ever going to be a product which will suit everyone? We do not think so. But, it is high time that you shift to using natural beauty products because the recent revelations about both Talc and Triclosan are quite alarming.
Both are things which were/are readily used in many of the synthetic beauty products. And both have been flagged as possible carcinogens by the relevant authorities in most countries.
How do you even start when it comes to using natural beauty products? Well, we will start by debugging the myth that a single natural product can be good for all types of skin. Even natural substances can prove to be allergenic to some people. So, the rule of testing on a small area first applies to natural products as well. Nevertheless, there is evidence that natural beauty products are good for most people. But, there is a hit and trial involved here too, so we suggest buying beauty products from Groupon to save some money.
Is using beauty products enough? No, it is not. We suggest a more holistic approach based on a solid daily, weekly, and a monthly routine involving a healthy diet, proper sleep, and some exercise. And guess what, it does not take very long. Even the most stringent of routines will take a maximum of 2 hours from your weekly schedule. For example, adding a simple vitamin rich smoothie can do wonders for your body and it usually takes only a couple of minutes to make.
However, reading about all this is boring. So, we have prepared a very informative info-graphic on the subject to help you get your routine right.
