Pebbles
Another sunny and beautiful day! We went to a park and there were so many things to take pictures of but you get the pebbles for now, I need to save some for weekly snapshots!
Daisies and Converse
Along with my day at the Met I thought I would put together an outfit of the day. I wore a body suit from forever 21, a skirt from Ross and black converse. I got another chance to wear my color blocked purse from Versona. Again this was an amazing day I will never forget I know this will be staple place for me to go. Surrounded by amazing art for hours is one of my definitions of a perfect day.
A Day at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
It's amazing that I've never been to the Met considering how often I come to New York. I fixed that situation and I loved every minute of it! My only regret was not seeing the China through the looking glass exhibit, we ran out of time and had to leave. |

New on the Bookshelf
In the quests of reading the greats Thomas Hardy couldn't be ignored. I'm knee deep in Jane Austen books and it's time to expand. I also feel like I'm the only person that hasn't read Eleanor and Park.
In a fit of drunken anger, Michael Henchard sells his wife and baby daughter for an amount of cash that I have to google because I have no clue what a guineas is.....
Another teenage love story!
I have high hopes for both books, E&P is really popular and TMC is written by Thomas Hardy. Whats new on your bookshelf?
The Affordable Contour
5 Sunburn Staples
With summer in full swing we are all storing our winter clothes and school supplies and hitting the outdoors. Hanging out by the pool, hiking, camping, beach trips, and going to theme parks are just a few things that summer allows us to do. With all these outdoor activities sunscreen is a factor that can't be compromised, with all the harsh sun rays and general health issues too much sun can bring. To avoid all this we slap on sunscreen and hope for the best.Unfortunately, sometimes we miss a spot and *dramatic music plays* we get sun burned! So what do we do? We pull out the staples of sun burn help!
1. After Sun- After your adventure slap on a cooling after sun lotion or gel to jump start the soothing process. It hydrates, moisturizes, and some I found to be very cooling. Aloe Vera is a major plus because it does wonders for the skin. Now reapplication is key here if you feel the sting coming up load more on. My favorite is the Max Block found in dollar tree!! One dollar for hours of relief, insane!
2. Tea bags- What a 2-for-1 deal! Make yourself a nice cup of tea to unwind and then take the used tea bag (make sure it's warm to the touch) and put it on a patch of sunburn. A black tea is what everyone recommends, I think chamomile works just as well.
3.Cleansing water- Weird one I know but trust me on this applying this on generously on a sunburned face helps up the hydration, skin flakes off less, and it feels AMAZING! Super cheap btw Simple has an amazing cleansing water for 5 dollars and change.
5. Hydration- you've basically cooked yourself in the sun. your skin is bound to be rough and dry so with all the tips above working on the outside, you have to hit the dehydrated insides as well. Drink lots of water to help your body's recovery!
Weekly Snapshots #5
Another week another snapshot... well snapshots. This week I went downtown and got a shot of this cool alleyway, my converse were too cool to not be featured, I am FINALLY getting around to reading Eleanor and Park, and most importantly there was a frog on my window the other night after it rained! I got really excited about that because I've never seen a frog in a non school/zoo setting (weird considering I've lived in Florida for so long)
