the weekend: productivity

18:56

Sunday funday is really just sunday chores day. I went up island to visit my best friend Sam for her birthday on friday, which was most excellent, let me say. Then yesterday evening I went to stay at my boyfriend's place for the night, and I really didn't get anything done there to be quite honest, but it was really nnice and relaxing, even though he just gamed for the majority of it.

We did, however, try and cook. When I say try, I mean try out different things. He's a great cook actually, he thinks that I don't like his cooking, but I really do. He's probably better than I am. Anyways, we tried out to make our own "chips" or more like sliced potatoes baked in the oven for fourty minutes. I had managed to cut a few really thin pieces, but other than that, they were just like round potato slices, but they were good!

Today, being a Sunday, after getting off my ass and stopped watching youtube videos, I did some laundry and tidied up a bit, and helped my mom cook dinner. I do live at home, for anyone wondering. I also cleaned my brushes, which I took a picture of because well, why not?

Ouuu yeah so clean and soft!

I love washing my brushes. I do a spot clean every other day basically, but every few weeks I do a huge clean and scrub my brushes and use some conditioner to keep the bristles nice and soft. 
I had no real reason to post today, I just realized I haven't in a while. I figured that I may as well tell you what I did today and my weekend. I think I'll share a picture tomorrow about my everyday makeup, Estee style. Have all the products scattered beautifully. 

I hope you all had a lovely weekend! Enjoy your week everyone! 

Toodle-doo! xx

2014 Bucket List!

12:35

Or something like that. I was watching Becca Rose's video on her bucket list, and it got me thinking about the things I wanted to do too, so I thought I'd be a little rebel and blog again!


  1. Blog more
     → I want to blog more often, such as today where I blogged yesterday and today. Regardless of where I am or what I'm doing, I want to try to blog at least three to four times a week, if possible. The posts may not be all beauty, maybe some more personal things and what not, but I'm going to try my hardest!
  2. Stay Happy!
     → This one is a big one for me. 2013 was a great year for me. I met my wonderful, adorable boyfriend and my best friend and I became even more closer than I could even think about. I stayed pretty happy throughout that year, and I want to continue with it. Being happy is one of the most important things to me, and even people that I've meet a few times say that they remember me being so cheerful. 
  3. Eat CORRECTLY
     → This is on almost everyone's new years resolutions, but I do eat pretty well, it's just the way I eat. I just need to slow down while eating and add a few more veggie alternatives to my grocery lists and then I'll feel a little bit better. I'm not the type of girl to just drop all meats and really bad fats; heck no! I love food too much, however, I don't eat red meat too often, so I don't feel so bad about eating it when I do. My family always eats lots of healthy grains and veggies, but as Italians, we do like our pasta - whoops! 
  4. Get a job after school
     → I'm currently in school for Early Childhood Education, and I start my practicum in one month exactly to the day, and I want to have a job (which is pretty much guaranteed with my current childcare job) and I hope that I do really well with it and that nothing goes too wrong.
  5. Anxiety
     → If you know me and you're reading this, you will know I have pretty bad anxiety. Last year, it got to the point a few times where I would be out with my girl-friends and suddenly I'd have a panic attack for no reason. I just would feel crammed where I was and I didn't want to talk to anyone and I just wanted to go home. I have bad travel anxiety for timing and what not, so I just want to work on that and staying more positive when I feel like my anxiety may kick in.
  6. Go travel!
     → I have some friends that live in Calgary, so this summer I want to go to see them so badly. One of my best childhood friends lives there and I miss her dearly, I haven't seen her in two years and her and her family mean so much to me. I wish I had more money to travel even further, but I don't, not yet at least. I want for Christmas next year, to be able to get myself a trip to the UK or anything like that. 
  7. Love myself
     → I'm so not good at this last bit. I used to beat myself up on a regular basis for how I looked and my shape, but I've realized that there's nothing I can do about how my body is shaped; so what I have big hips! Screw you media! I'm going to have big hips and flaunt them in your faces! Having my best friend around and my boyfriend has definitely helped me to love myself a little bit more, knowing that I have people who care about me around.
  8. YOUTUBE!
     → I want to make more videos!! I want to get a new light, or just a good spot for filming and I want just a little more confidence when filming. I hope that it'll work out, but that's one of my goals for this year. I love it when I do film, so I'll get there ;)
  9. Move out!
     → Last year I moved back in with my family when I started school, but the deal was for me to move out in 2014 the summer of, so I plan to do so. And an IKEA trip is a MUST! I am so excited for that, to pick out things for organizing a new place and just having everything how I want them. I do want to move in with a special someone, but it all depends what happens with job opportunities after he's done school this year as well.
  10. Finally- Learn something new every day
     → Whether it be a fact, or like how I learnt how to use my loom, or learn how to film differently or just anything, I want to learn something new daily and write it in a journal.

I hope you enjoyed reading through my new year's bucket list! What's yours? I'd love to know!!

Thanks for reading and I hope I don't bore you all too much ;)

Toodle-doo!!

Story time: Wisdom Teeth

22:20

Oooh yeah, 21 years old and she finally gets those darned wisdom teeth out! Most people I know got them out when they were younger, but both my boyfriend and I got them out when we were 21, so he got his out in March and mine today.

I will start off with saying how terrified I am of needles, and I'm so lucky that the dentist kept talking to me as she put in the needle. I didn't feel out of it at all, and then she said "I'm going to give you some medicine now" and to be quite honest I think that's the last thing I remember her saying. I don't even remember falling asleep, but I woke up in another room feeling a little silly, almost as if I was tipsy.
Before I had gone under, they had covered me with heated blankets, and boy, lemme tell you that waking up with those was the best thing. It was so cozy and I told her that I loved them and she said almost everyone says that.

She said I did really well and that I should recover pretty well, but still swell.
My bottom wisdom teeth were coming in, more so on my left side, and the very back of it was poking through, causing the rest to still be under the gum and luckily I went in before it got too much worse.

I got home and my dad gave me the pill I needed and I felt fine enough to have soup, which they told me I should, so cup of soup it was! I watched some netflix then napped and switched out my gauze a few times. The the pain started, and oooohhh boy did that even hurt. My dad gave me the pills and I ate like two puddings (no shame I was starving cause I didn't eat since 8 am) and I've been up ever since!

I'm waiting for tomorrow to just hit me like a brick, and hopefully my boyfriend will stop by to see me this weekend cause he said he only had his dad when he got his out and no one else, so he wants to come see me and spend time with me as a chimpmunk. Which is probably one of the cutest things ever, and he said he'll bring some soft foods for me and cook me some eggs. (insert heart eyed emoji here)

I may update you tomorrow or Saturday just on the swelling and what not. I've got an ice pack on now which will hopefully help with the swelling for tomorrow. They told me to stay home on Monday from my class so I'll see how I'm feeling Sunday and go from there. If I don't go, they said it'll be helpful for me too, which is nice.

Anyways, I hope this post didn't gross you out at all! I'll post again soon, and I'll probably edit my What I got for Christmas video (which will be up later than most oh well). If you guys have any questions about it or anything let me know!

I might also do a product review on the Benefit pore-fressional and the Nars creamy concealer!

Goodbye lovelies!!

Toodle-doo xoxo
