my 30 day vegan challenge

Image
Hello ladies, I am back. As you may have noticed, I took a little break for about a month. This is because I am a college student and I had finals. Then I flew home and worked for winter break and didn't have much to post about. Or really feel like it. But, alas, I have returned and I bought so many things (posts coming soon, still waiting for some things to arrive) and have also begun a 30-day vegan challenge. Please do not ask me to justify my reasoning for this; I have none. But I am doing it. This journey began Saturday, January 5th, meaning we are coming to the close of the first week (I am writing this Thursday evening). I'm not quite sure what these posts should consist of/what you guys want to know so I am mostly going to outline what I've eaten each day and how I felt about it. I will be including recipe links but I am not the best at following recipes so I will try to note what alterations I made. Saturday, January 5 Breakfast: some stale Cheerios I...

black friday haul pt.2: glossier (swatches and first impressions)

Image
Hello again ladies, It's time for another haul. This one is very different from yesterday's haul, as it is much more natural makeup (sorry if you only like blue lipstick and green highlighter because this probably isn't the post for you but I like variety) from the brand Glossier. Glossier's slogan is 'Skin First, Makeup Second' which is reflected in all their products. Here are pictures of how everything arrived and the stickers that were included with my order. To start, I got a sample of their Milky Jelly Cleanser . I have heard good things about this, so I look forward to trying it. This product along with the priming moisturizer and balm dotcom universal skin salve are available for 40USD in the Phase 1 set. Individually, it is either 9USD or 18USD depending on the size you choose.  The first actual item I bought was the priming moisturizer .  I have only used this once so far but I am really enjoying it. It reminds me a little o...

my current playlist: 12-4-18

I don't know how frequently I will do these but I thought I would share my current playlist. I don't usually use Spotify (I don't have premium so it's useless on my phone) but transferred the songs on my iTunes playlist to Spotify for ease. I also have "All the Way Up" by Emily Osment on my playlist but that wasn't available on Spotify so it's excluded in the embedded playlist. Enjoy, -Jessie

Hello again ladies (ladies being a gender-neutral term), It's time for another haul. I did a lil black friday sale shopping and the first few items have arrived so I thot it was time to share. As a preview, I will tell you that this is part JSC (Jeffree Star Cosmetics) including the new alien collection (although the Northern Lights supreme frost highlight palette and more liquid lip shades are going to be revealed tomorrow and I'm sure I'll want some) and part Kylie Cosmetics. More items from both brands are on their way, I already want to buy more shades of some of the items I received in this haul (we will discuss this more later), and I have a few items from Glossier that are supposed to arrive tomorrow which I am very excited to try. (How would you like me to show these items? a full face Glossier post? I will need to order a few more items to do this but I want to anyways so let me know. Do you want a separate Glossier haul post or wait to include them with the re...
