I've decided to share with you an HG (holy grail) product that I truly believe in, every Monday. Let's hope I keep up with this ;)
So.. in my day to day life, i'm a nurse. I love it in all aspects and would never trade it in for anything (unless Beyonce asks me to be her back-up dancer). haha jokes. Okay seriously now! Being a nurse, I am constantly washing my hands. And usually, the soap that they provide for us are pretty harsh and barely moisturize our hands. I've used various lotions in the past, however most of them have a film of oil or water that doesn't actually help "moisturize".
It wasn't I stopped by Kiehl's to see if they had anything to offer me and my sand paper hands, that I was introduced to the Kiehl's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve. Love this lotion! When I put it on, there's a weird "glove-like" feel that makes my hands feel so soft. Here's a better description of it from the website:
"Formulated for the driest, most active hands, this heavy-duty moisture treatment is a thick, rich formula offering all-day care and protection. Our blend of select ingredients allows skin to actually draw and absorb water from the air, forming a "glove-like" protective barrier against moisture loss. This formula, which contains a blend of botanical oils as well as natural wax derived from Olive Oil, further soothes, moisturizes and conditions skin. This most effective preparation helps protect against and repair the appearance of severe dryness caused by heavy industrial work, manual labor, neglect, or exposure to harsh elements."
I've found my go-to lotion. Have any of you tried it? Any other hand lotions I should try?

Inspiration: Style Icons
So a little style background on me: I am as simple as it gets. No lie. You will probably never see me out in public with a graphic tee on. In my opinion.. I just can't pull it off. My closet is composed mostly of plain, one-colored ensembles. A few striped shirts here and lots of floral dresses.. but that's about it. I'm just fond of playing with a plain with shirt, paired with dark jeans and adding maybe a colorful cardigan on top. That's my blank canvas.
But everyone has a style icon that they admire. For me, it's 3 people: Rachel Bilson, Olivia Palermo and Audrey Hepburn.
Rachel Bilson
Olivia Palermo
Audrey Hepburn
Simple, classy and beautiful.

New beginnings
Hello hello!
I have been exposed to the blogging world as a teen. However, talking about all things me and what I did this day and "yadda yadda" is pretty boring. So this whole thing is pretty new to me..
I am absolutely in love with watching makeup videos on YouTube and reading blog posts on fashion. I love watching "haul" and "monthly favorites" videos due to the fact, that in some way, I can relate to these girls to an extent. Now, though I do have my favorite YouTube stars (which are entirely my decision), none of them have anywhere near the same skin tone as me. Which let me first say, is in no way a bad thing! I just feel like its nice watching people who are within the "same" tone as me. But ehhh.. maybe that is just me.
Now seriously, I love makeup. I love fashion. However, I am in no way an expert on either of these two. I am simply inspired by people I pass by on the street, and people I glare through on magazines. I love love love playing with makeup and with clothes! And with that, I hope to share my tidbit knowledge of a part of my passion with you all.
So cheers! To new beginnings and new friends :)
