My Favorite Things of 2014

American Horror Story Freak Show I've always been an AHS fan and I have not been disappointed by this season. Between murders, creepy clowns and amazing musical numbers I  became quickly obsessed with this season and suggest it to everyone. If you have yet to see this, you should.  Guinea Pigs I recently got a Guinea Pig and in all honestly I love him so much. He is super calm, easy to care for and always puts a smile on my face. I love that he is super cuddly and he gets along with everyone, including my roommates. Maybelline Rocket Mascara This mascara gives me long, dark and voluminous lashes without pulling at them or causing any bad reactions. This is my favorite mascara of the year and I can not imagine a world without it. I know that some people are against it but I have always been a big Maybelline Mascara girl and suggest it to everyone. Anything by the brand ELF I love this brand, it is cheap and great quality and I am utterly obsessed.

How to be a good roommate

So whether you live with one person or five, there are unspoken rules that all roommates should follow. Here are the ones I think is the most important. Tell your roommates when you're sick. No one wants to get sick, let alone because your roommate never told you they were contagious. If you know you are sick you are obligated to tell your roommates. You don't have to make a big deal about it just send a text and maybe put a bottle of sanitizing wipes  where everyone can use it. I do not want to get sick because you aren't kind enough to give me a heads up, especially around exam time.                                          Clean up after yourself. Your apartment should not be an embarrassment to you and your roommates. If you share a space it should be relatively clean five out of seven days a week. Of course there are times that can be overlooked-such as a study area around exams-but a shared space should usually be pretty clean. So if you cook somethi

My Favorite Accessories

Hey you guys, I know it's been a long time but I'm going to start posting again. I thought I would start with something fun. My favorite accessories and the most eye catching trends. I hope you like it and forgive me for my absence.  Bold Lipstick It draws attention to your face and is a bold clean look. Best part, you'll always know which glass is yours. Knits To me winter means chilly weather and cuddling. With my knitted scarves and sweaters I feel like I'm always comfy and warm. They're super warm and super cute, everyone should have at least on in the closet. Plaid Something I've always loved. Plaid looks good on almost everything, shirts, skirts, jackets and shoes, I love them all! And if you mix it with level you can't get any cuter. Military Style Right now military inspired outfits are super cool. They make you look like powerful and beautiful, if you have trouble finding this look at thrift shops and s

My Apartment

Apartment Life So… I have moved into an apartment! It’s not the largest, but I love it. From a previous post you can read about all of the crazy nerves I had about coming here, but you guys honestly there was no need. So my four bed room two bath came with the basics, washer-dryer combo, a refrigerator/ freezer, dish washer, as well as a coffee table, 4 bar stools, a couch and an arm chair. When I came the walls seemed a terrifying shade of white and the rooms where drab. Slowly we are getting the apartment to a place that we like. We hung a tapestry where a TV is meant to be, we hung pictures, fabric, signs and of course a ton of candles. This place is beginning to feel more and more like home so with subtle changes we are covering those annoying white walls and making it a fun inviting place for my friends and me.    So this is the island, we wrapped it with fairy lights and it brightened up the apartment a lot.

Things I am Obsessed with: Summer Edition

The Sims 3 I have been playing way to much of the Sims. Personally I can not wait for Sims 4 and have been showing everyone (even my technophobe mother) it's a little ridiculous. My computer is really not a gaming computer and I have a lot of problems when running Sims on it, but I truly do love the game. Acrylic Paint Painting is something I've been doing a lot of this summer. I decided to paint my version of the seven deadly sins using girls with animals masks. It sounds really weird but I really like how it is working out. It gives me something to do. So while I paint I just listen to music or podcast, which leads us to the next thing. Welcome to Night vale I love this podcast. I just came back from Miami where I visited my friend Erica. I was invited to ride along with my neighbors who were going on a cruise leaving from a port about 30 minutes from where my friend lives. Anyway the thirteen our ride left me pretty bored but things were easier when I found a

Word Vomit: Anxiety

So next year I'm living in a four bedroom two bath apartment.In the middle of my first semester of college me and three of my good friends went and signed the lease. After an event that will go unmentioned myself and one of my future roommates had a talk the lead to us straining our relationship, so much so that I do not know if we are even friends or not. She lives is an out of state student and ECU does not have the major she wants anymore. Due to this it is possible that during the second semester of the upcoming year that she will be moving out and transferring to another college. One of my other roommates is my best friend Jillian. I have other posts about her and she is amazing. I was unaware when we signed this lease that Jillian had reapplied to a college in which she was unable to attend. This college is in Canada.Recently she found out that she got in and is taking this amazing opportunity.I am very happy for her.She is a hard worker and truly wants this. I am left in an

Books that have changed my life

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green Right now this book is highly talked about, this is due to the up coming release of the film. Not only is John Green one of  my favorite Youtubers, but he is an amazing writer and is extremely well spoken. This story  made me look at the world in a completely different way and changed my outlook on life. I truly love this book and found myself connecting to the characters in ways that I never had before. After I finished this book (in one day might I add) my mother found me hysterical and was only calmed when I was able to stammer out that it was all because of this book. Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson I read this book for the first time when I was in elementary school. At that time I was not a big reader, but after this book I had an insatiable hunger for the written word. My mother, another big reader was forced to read this book by a hyperactive young Sheena and was surprised by how much she liked it. To this day this is one of m
