Winter Daze

It snowed today, as i was walking to get my mail. I stopped, closed my eyes and just stood there for a moment. Trying to remember the days when i couldn't wait for snow. The days when i would run outside without a coat, wanting to jump right into the first pile i saw, then later crying because my fingers were cold. The days when i would stick my tongue out while twirling in circles just tasting and feeling it. Those days don't come anymore, i miss them. Life used to be so simple, so easy, i hadn't a care in the world.  Those days are more of a daze now, they're like that one amazing dream that you were awaken from too early and you try forever to make it come back and it never does.

When i opened my eyes, i had snowflakes on my lashes, it made me giggle and in that moment i felt like i did back then.

My day consisted of

Making breakfast like mom used to, facebook quizzes, talk of future lives in big cities, 4 cups of coffee which left a ring on my favorite table, finishing paperwork i started two weeks ago, surfing through urban while skyping with Amber,  feeding my addiction by consuming 16 cough drops, which is well over the recommended dosage.  Also, im wanting a new tattoo but cant decided on the placement, ice skating with Jill & a Venti Caffè Vanilla.

Live free, Live happy.

As some of you know, one of my greatest loves in life are animals. Well, then it would make perfect sense for me to live a cruelty free life... right? Right! Which i do, for the most part. I have been trying my best to not purchase products by companies that test on animals. I have been living this way for a couple years now, and i really do feel a lot better knowing im not harming them. BUT as anyone who reads this knows, i have a major dental hygiene fetish. Its really hard to give up my regular toothpaste, i have been fighting with myself over it for the longest time. I have finally decided that when i run out i will buy a couple cruelty free brands. This will be a major step for me and it weirds me out, way more then it ever should. Also,  sometimes i slip and buy "bad" shampoo. I cant help but to love dove, it does wonders for my hair. Oh and i could never find deodorant until just 5 minutes ago, which was what inspired me to write this. Not only do i not buy animal tested products. I am also a vegetarian, i have tried numerous times through out my life and  have finally succeeded. Well, actually i was prefect for the first three months then i slipped up a bit. But im back on track and feeling better then ever! After i stopped eating meat i seriously felt so much better, i had more energy and became happier, which i didn't think was even possible.

Here are some of the cruelty free products that i use.. if anyone is curious in trying them out.

Shampoo / Conditioners 

• Wen by Chaz Dean: (im an infomercial junkie). I love it to death, its my favorite hair product ever.
• Mixed Chicks: Seeing im mixed, my hair is a bunch of textures and usually shampoos either dry it out or make it greasy. But this is perfect, it makes your hair really soft. And you dont have to be Mixed to use it. My mom who is white, has very fine hair.. it worked great for her as well.  Its also recommended for curly hair. 
• White Rain Naturals:  They don't test and its cheap... i use it when im out of the others.  
• Paul Mitchell         

Make up    

• E.L.F:  I hardly wear make up. so when i do, im cheap about it. lol  The products are great and its all really inexpensive. 
• DuWop: They have great products, but its on the pricier side.
• MAC

 Then for lotions, body washes and all that good stuff.

Bath & Body Works, or St. Ives. 




Sometime in the next few months im going to be trying out Lush, they have cruelty free organic goods. Check them out... www.lush.com 

Really people?

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the Twilight Sega, i might also go as far as saying i loved it. But I have also had a vampire obsession that started at an early age. Now, the thing i dont get is. The people who hadnt like vampires before twilight, that now love all things vampire. Its kind of odd to me, the cullens arent even "real" vampires. I mean, Vampires dont jump through the trees like "spider monkeys" and they surely do not sparkle. But yet the cullen have sparked this vampire craze in not only the people who never gave vampires a second thought but also the ones that disliked them. If you're one of these people, can you explain this to me? Im very intrested in youre opinion on it.
