I feel like April for me this year was a month of change! Nothing dramatic like moving across the country but there were little changes here and there… some months are like that! I’ve learned through college you just have to take the change how it is and roll with it (prob one of the hardest lessons I’ve had to learn). There is one thing that changes for me EVERY MONTH.. can you guess what it is? You guessed it, my favorites! April brought me a lot of new loves so sit back and relax. Enjoy your bag of popcorn or enjoy avoiding class or homework or just enjoy because I’m about to hit you all with some favorites that could change your life!!
DISCLAIMER: This is a very random lists of favorites because for some reason April hit me with a lot of random new finds.
We will start with my all time greatest find in the music department, Russ. UGHHH you guys I have randomly listened to some Russ songs before and knew the dude was great but I recently was studying at my colleges business hall and downloaded ALL of Russ’s songs. Yes, literally all of them.. if I could somehow prove that to you all I would!! I’ll throw some of my favorites at you guys though, don’t worry:
- Down For You
- Ain’t Nobody Takin my Baby
- Alone
- Basement
- For The Stunt
- Fallin’ too
- Flip
- The Game
- Inbetween
- Keep on Goin
- Lean On You
- Let Me In
- Moonlight in Atlanta
- Psycho
- I Wanna Go Down With You
- Goodbye
- Cherry Hill
The last two songs are the songs that got my on to the brilliant man himself.. (YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THEM)!!!
Honestly though guys this list is a small group of my fav songs of him (even though thats a lot of songs lol). If you want to get crazy do what I did and download them all. You won’t be disappointed BUT if you want to just dip your toe in the land of Russ here are a good group of his songs to start you off. Also, side note I’m literally obsessed with all his album covers, the man knows his stuff.
Okay, on to the two things that have change my life regarding to sleep. I’m someone that takes forever to fall asleep, yeah it’s annoying BUT I also never wanted to take anything for it. However, I was strolling through Target and found Olly Restful Zen Vitamin Gummies and was like okay I’ll try them they are just gummies. WELL, they work, they shut my brain off making me sleep so well. I also started to use the Peppermint Halo Cooling & Smoothing Oil Blend For The Head from Saje. It’s essentially a essential oil in a roller stick that you can put on your halo of your head or I put it on the back of my neck as well. It has peppermint in it and it also has a cooling effect (kind of like icy hot if any of you have used that, not as intense lol). It takes away any head ache you might have and just feels amazingly soothing. If you ever have trouble sleeping I recommend trying these two things out!!
Next for my favorites.. eyelash extensions! I did in fact join the world of crazy long lashes and I’m living for it!! I really don’t know how I will ever be able to not have them. I absolutely am obsessed. They can in fact get wet (I waited so long to get them because I thought they couldn’t and your girl likes to wash her face) and they don’t seem to fall out more when I do get them wet. They feel completely normal. And I like never wear makeup during the day anymore which has made my mornings so easy. I love waking up and somehow looking a little more awake and alive because of these magic lashes! I just got my first fill and was able to wait two and a half weeks, this next time I’m waiting three weeks to get them filled again. I got the hybrid lashes which is classic (one lash per lash) and volume (multiple lashes per lash) mixed, it’s the perfect look for me! I honestly have nothing bad to say about them!!!!
Insert scary, funny looking picture of me and my lashes before. And me and puppies with my lashes after!
Lets talk about Brazilian Bum Bum Cream. I don’t have many words on this stuff because it leaves me speechless. Before I had to force myself to put lotion on, NOW I get excited to use it. This stuff smells like summer and it goes into your skin so fast. I hate the sticky lotion feeling and this stuff does NOT leave that feeling one bit. Highly recommend adding to your life!!
LASTLY, (told you guys it was a big month for favs) Jade Rolling. Okay this one is a weird one, I’ve seen sooo many people doing this, like Lauren Elizabeth which is truthfully why I tried it! I hopped on the train and got one from Amazon and really, actually love it. If you don’t know what Jade Rolling is I’ll insert a photo below of what it looks like but you roll it on your face in upward motions and supposedly the health benefits to Jade Rolling is it helps increase circulation which helps smooth fine lines and wrinkles. It also helps to reduce puffiness and inflammation in your face. I don’t know if I believe in the benefits or not, I mean sure it’d be sweet if they are true but if not I won’t cry about it. The reason I continue to do it is because bottom line it feels great!!! It’s a simple way to massage your face and who doesn’t love that, I also hope the benefits are true and I’ll look great when I’m old!!
I hope you all had a great April and start to spring. I also hope you guys try out some of these favs.. especially listening to my main man Russ. Now on to May *insert me doing a dance while listening to Russ*.
