How to stay motivated

Hey, babes! I have had several emails requesting me to write on how I stay motivated with school, blogging, and just life in general. Well, I'm here to tell you, as much as I'd love to say that I stay motivated every single day, I don't. Some days I just want to stay in bed, my dishes pile up in the sink and I do absolutely nothing. Yeah, this isn't something that I'm proud of but I personally believe everyone needs some days to just do NOTHING. Usually, these days occur on the weekend when I have things that I could be doing but don't necessarily have to get done. I am all for working hard but when Saturday comes along, I like to just have a movie day (hopefully with some ice cream included).

Like I have stated in the past, school is my number one priority and once my school work is taken care of I feel more free to do things like blog and hit the gym! The way I stay motived with school is knowing that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I know that if I work hard now, it will pay off later.

Just like anything, you need to have small goals in place and then a larger goal set for a later date. As you reach these small goals, it will motivate you to reach your main goal. One of the ways I do this is by keeping track of things in my planner. At the beginning of the week, I write down one big thing that I would like to accomplish so that during the week I can work toward that goal. This little trick keeps me motivated throughout the week so I can have those lazy days on the weekend.

Staying organized is the key here, ladies. Write down your tasks so you know what needs to be achieved and then cross that task off your list. Also, I'm not sure if it's just me, but having a cute planner and cute pens just make me want to write things down! I'll link some of my super cute items down below. 
 
If y'all have any tips or trick on how to stay motivated, please let me know!

Thanks for reading, babes!

Goin' out glam

Happy Thursday everyone! This is one of my favorite looks and it is so quick and easy. Every single time I wear this makeup look, I get asked so many questions about my eyeshadow and lip color. I think the key to this look is a darker eye shadow and a lighter lip. It makes for the perfect combo!

For my shadow, I used Marc Jacobs Fantascene 790 palette (Dark Brown). You can use any deep brown color from any palette to achieve this look! I applied this in my crease and took it upward towards the corner of my brow to get a more smokey brown vibe. I then used one of my favorite products of all time, Glitter and Glow liquid eyeshadow by Stila. I use the shade "Rose Gold Retro", for the perfect shimmer on my lid. I don't apply a base color on my lid because I feel like this product does a lot better when directly applied to your skin. After that, I do my basic eyeliner and mascara and BOOM you're done.

For my lip, I use an NYX lip liner and I fill in my lips with this as well. I finish my lip look with the NYX Butter Gloss in "Eclair".

 This is such an easy way to turn your day makeup into your night makeup. Just a few changes to your everyday look and you have your goin' out glam!


P.S.- Stila is having a huge sale on their products right now!
