Starting my Bullet Journal

When I decided that I wanted to start bullet journaling, I did some research to find a good journal and this is what I came up with. It is the Rhodia Orange Webnotebook 5.5x8.25 Dot Grid that I found on amazon. The reason I like this one is because it has a dot grid, it opens flat, and there is little ghosting.

This was my first attempt at a weekly spread, it looks ok but it's not quite my fave. 

This was my second attempt that I am using this week and it turned out a lot better in my opinion. There is always room for improvement and I'm sure I will get better the longer I do this. 

Let me know what you would like to see in my bullet journal in the future. :)

Jaclyn Hill x Becca Champagne Collection Face Palette Review and Swatches

I love Jaclyn Hill and I learn so much from her youtube channel, so when I heard about this collection I was super excited and I have always wanted Champagne Pop so I got this for my birthday last month and I love it!

I love the packaging for this palette because the gold and white are so fannnnceyyy

That mirror tho

Here I swatched Prosecco Pop (left) and Champagne Pop (right), they are both amazing, I love to use Champagne Pop on my face because I am more fair and I use Prosecco Pop on my shoulders and collar bone if they are showing because it's a little too gold to put on my face but it would be beautiful if you had a warmer skin tone.

The three blushes are super pigmented and they are all beautiful. I swatched from left to right, Pamplemousse, Amaretto, and Rose Spritz. I use all of them a lot but Rose Spritz is probably my favorite because it just goes really well with a simple look and you don't even have to highlight after (but I always do ;) ). Sometimes I even use Amaretto as a bronzer because I have a pink undertone or I just put it all over my cheeks. This has definitely been my favorite makeup product since I bought it and I highly recommend it.

Here is where you can find it Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Face Palette on Sephora

April and May Empties

These are my empties for the months April and May!

For hair, I went through the AG Curl Recoil Conditioner. I have had this for a really long time because the bottle is huge, I liked this a lot even though it isn't my favorite which is the OGX Coconut milk for curly hair, it was still really good and it smelled like creamy oranges. Next, I went through the Batiste dry shampoo in the tropical scent. I usually love tropical scents but this I actually didn't like very much, so I will probably try a different scent next time.

As for skincare, I went through another Garnier Skinactive Micellar water, which I have a review for here http://heidi-loo.blogspot.com/2016/02/garnier-skinactive-micellar-cleansing.html    and I really like it so I have already repurchased it. Next is the T.N. Dickenson's Witch Hazel which I use as a toner after I wash my face. I repurchased an off brand bottle after this but I think this one is better. Last, I went through the Olay Foaming Face Wash for Sensitive skin which I kept in the shower while I used the Cetephil one when I wasn't in the shower. I like this a lot and I would repurchase but I haven't yet.

For random stuff, I burnt through an Orange Dreamsicle Yankee Candle votive and I liked it but I thought it would have smelled more fresh when I burned it because of the orange, but it smelled more strongly of vanilla but I still liked it and I have another votive in this scent and I will be using it soon. Lastly, I used up my sample size of the Mary Kay Cafe Au Lait lipgloss which Is my favorite lipgloss and I plan on purchasing the full size soon.

Bible Journaling Entry #1

I recently got a journaling bible and finally did my first entry. This is the my process and materials I used.

First I planned out the verse in pencil.

Then I traced it in colored pencils and outlined a flower in pencil.

Then I filled in the flower with colored pencil, then I started adding some watercolor to the letters and later to the flower. By the way, the watercolor didn't bleed through the page surprisingly.

After I finished the watercolor, I made a tab for the top of my page.

By the way these are the watercolors I used. The brand is Milan.

How to Make Simple and Healthy Pancakes

This is how I make these simple and healthy pancakes. Enjoy!

The only ingredients you need to make these pancakes is 1 banana and 2 eggs, plus any other things that you like. I always like to add chia seeds and cinnamon and sometimes chocolate chips. Share in the comments what you like to put in them.

First you want to mash up the banana in a bowl with a fork.

Then add the 2 eggs and mix.

Add whatever else you want and mix.

Then cook on a pan just like you would a normal pancake.

To finish it off I added some sliced strawberries and powdered sugar, and later I added some syrup.




Sorry this is 1 day late, I had sooooo much homework yesterday.

10 High School Tips

1. Avoid drama at all costs!- you will be a lot happier and less worried, do it!

2. Lay out your stuff the night before- lay out your outfit for the next day, pack your bag, and make your lunch the night before and your life in the morning will be much easier.

3. Make sure you start your homework before 7 or even 6- this doesn't mean you have to do it right when you get home but if you start it at least before dinner, you will be way less stressed and you will get more sleep.

4. Use your planner- write down all your homework while you are still in class so you don't forget about anything, again less stress for the next day.

5. Take every opportunity for extra credit- if your teacher gives you any opportunity, do it. You will be very thankful you did at the end at the grading period. It may even be the difference between a letter grade.

6. Study with friends- if you set a date to go study with friends, you will probably get more done than if you just stay at home and procrastinate.

7. Make sure you take time to do fun things with your friends or family- to relieve stress and take a break.

8. Don't conform to trends if you don't like them- you don't need to do things in high school or ever just to "be cool" because then you aren't being yourself.

9. Always ask for help if you need it- ask you teachers for help if you don't understand something, and if you don't like your teacher, ask another teacher in the same department and they will gladly help you.

10. Don't stress about tests- if you understand the material pretty well and you can keep your grade up before the test, then you will probably do fine on the test, and if you don't then your grade will have a cushion as long as you can keep it up with projects and little assignments.

February and March Empties

 Greetings, so usually I do an Empties every month but I decided to wait 2 months so I could have more things to show.  Enjoy!

This is the Maybelline Fit Me concealer, which is my favorite ever and I have already re-purchased it.

I used up a mini size of the Cetaphil cleanser that i just kept in my shower, but I have the full sized that I use everyday by my sink. I also have the Cetaphil daily facial moisturizer which is my favorite and I have already re-purchased it.

I used up my first bottle of the Garnier Skinactive Micellar Water, here I have a review of it http://heidi-loo.blogspot.com/2016/02/garnier-skinactive-micellar-cleansing.html  I have already re-purchased this, and I just went through some cheap cotton rounds from the drugstore which is how i use this product.

Here I have the Be Delectable by Cake Beauty Body wash and the Hair and Body Mist in lemon and cream. I love the scent of these and I will probably be purchasing the full size of the spray soon.

This is a triple moisture cream from Bath and Body Works in London Tulips and Raspberry Tea. I liked this a lot but it started to get boring towards the end, it's very floral and sweet and also the lid broke and I lost it so I'm so glad I'm finished with it because I could never stand it up.

As for some random things, I have the Curly Sexy Hair conditioner that has taken me forever to get through but I liked it even though it wasn't my favorite. Lastly, I have the Colgate Optic white toothpaste which has been my favorite for a while  but I am currently trying out a new one, but I may go back to this.
