My 5 Favorite Beauty Products Of January

For me the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017 has sprung a new found love for makeup and beauty products. I can't help but spend hours watching the quick makeup tutorials on Instagram and Youtube. After the start of my recent love for beauty products, I have invested in various different products to attempt to have the collection as some of these beauty gurus. Here are my favorite beauty products to date.


The Beauty Blender

Hands down the most essential product in my opinion. Before purchasing this I was applying foundation with my hands, I know, amateur, with this product I am able to blend my foundation and also apply setting powder. The only downside is that it is super absorbent and hence really hard to clean completely.


Bio Oil

This Vitamin E oil helps dry skin, enhance skin tone and texture. It can also help improve the appearance of stretch marks. I also use it as a medium when applying my foundation. The good thing about it is that a little product goes a long way. It's a great moisturizer for nighttime especially in the dry winter weather.

Kylie Cosmetics "Royal Peach Palette"

I've only recently began investing in Kylie's makeup line and I can say that I have been pleasantly surprised. Theres no doubt that she has the money to establish a really decent makeup line however the quality of the products are amazing. I bought the royal peach palette the day that it was released and I was beyond thrilled when I received it and was able to see the amazing pigment for myself.


Colour Pop Ultra Matte Lips

After realizing that if I continued investing in Kylie's makeup that I would be broke quickly. A friend recommended that I try colour pop's matte liquid lip stick. They're inexpensive and are very long lasting. The best part is that they are not over drying. As long as you exfoliate before using the product your lips are good for whatever your night holds.

Moroccan Oil

Now this product isn't a face product but it's definitely an essential beauty product to me. Although priced on the higher end for hair product it is worth every penny. I personally have dry hair and since starting this regiment I am noticing that my hair is holding moisture a lot better than it used too. This is also a product that doesn't need a lot to be effective.


Finding the right products can seem difficult at times. Everyone's skin tone is different therefore different shades look better on different people. I am still trying to see what tones look best on my skin. Hopefully if you are looking for new products to try this will be a good place to start!

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.
