Exploring the New Whitney Museum

      I explored the new Whitney Museum with some friends awhile ago and while art exhibits or art museums aren't usually my preferred activities, I don't mind seeing new, interesting things once in awhile (even if I don't exactly understand them). The Whitney Museum houses modern, 20th and 21st century American art, including abstract pieces. I thought I'd share some pictures I took, although they aren't the best quality since my phone camera doesn't take the best photos in low light settings. Enjoy and thanks for stopping by!

July 2015 Birchbox

      This month's box is about going bold and Birchbox definitely made that clear with the bright, colorful box design. Summer is definitely the season to bring out the bright lip colors and just have fun! The sample choice for July was one of three Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick and I got it in 13 bella. This is the only product I tested out so far and let me first say that the color is definitely very intense and not for the faint of heart. Unfortunately, this product was a no-go for me. It accentuated lip lines and didn't dry fully to a matte finish. It reminds me very much of the L'oreal Pro-last Lipcolor. Perhaps I will do a review on both of these later on.

Happy July!

      Can you believe June went by so fast and it's already July? I definitely can't. It's like summer is already almost over and I have yet to fully enjoy the summer weather. The weather in NY has not been the greatest this summer. Where is the sun?? However, with summer being here now, I have been having way too much ice cream, almost every week! Ice cream is love. Again, as always I have been trying out new foods and even got to attend a cupcake baking class with a friend. To gaining new experiences!

Next Stop: Adventure

      Summer is definitely a time for adventure, whether it be going on vacation to someplace you've never visited before or just trying out new experiences. Like the Birchbox card says, "Say Yes!" "Adventure is a state of mind. It's about exploring the unknown, dreaming beyond the horizon, and letting go of the word no." I told myself the beginning of this year that I would be open to trying new things and having new experiences. How you want to live your life is in your hands. Say yes to adventure this summer and the rest of the year.

Essie - California Coral

      Essie's California Coral is one of my favorite shades for the summer. It is the perfect coral red that is nice and bright. It screams summer, sun and fun! As always with Essie polishes, great application, full opacity with 2 coats and no streakiness. This is definitely a polish that should be part of everyone's nail polish collection if you don't already have something similar or am on the look out for a nice coral red. Flattering color for most skin tones. What are your favorite polishes for the summer?
