Here are some of my favorites from July!
Beauty
I
had always used Dior Flash foundation, so had no use for a beauty
blender. But since switching to the Chanel (and using samples of various
BB since I'm a little darker than normal), I've been using this. It's a
great way to put on foundation and make it look natural. I bought the
beautyblender pro two set-- so my sister and I would save a little bit
of money. Plus, the black doesn't show the makeup as much as the pink. I
don't always wash it after every use (I try to), but I love the solid
cleaner that they sell at Sephora as well.
During
market, we are only allowed to wear neutral colors on our nails. Even
though I'm not on the sales team, I still like to stick to this rule.
This is a perfect light pink nail polish. It wears well and looks
perfect with 2-3 coats. It also dries pretty quickly, which is always a
plus since I typically paint my nails later at night.
FOOD
These
are amazing. They're sort of like Carmellos that I used to love, but
are even better. I wish we had a See's Candies in NYC, but that makes
them that much better when I'm home. Plus, my mom normally sends some of
these in any package she sends. These are amazing. The See's in
Pittsburgh frequently sells out of them. They are marshmallows covered
in soft caramel and are exactly 2 perfect bites. We just finished our
supply and only have some caramels left. Everything from See's is
delicious!
I
had passed this restaurant in the winter and had wanted to go ever
since. My dad came to town, and we ended up going to dinner here with
his business partner. It was delicious-- even I had a hard time picking
something to eat. Needless to say, all three plates were pretty much
clean when they came to clear them up. I know I'll be back now that I'm
not that far away from it. Their brunch menu looks delicious!
RANDOM
Having
a doorman is AMAZING. I've always had to plan all packages and have
ended up having a ton of stuff either sent to my parents house or were
sent back to the sender. Since we have a bigger apartment, we've had to
get some extra things to fill it up-- so we've gotten a package
basically every other day... Plus, they make sure your guests are let
up, your building safe, and are just awesome. I feel like now I have
one, I can never go back to a walk up building.
We
just got one at home about 6 months ago, so it was always awesome to
use at home. Now that we have room enough for a TV, we got this awesome
little device. I'm able to watch Netflix, my random free TV shows from
Apple, anything from iTunes, and even Airplay from Abbie's computer.
It's amazing to have a TV after not having one. I had one in my dorm my
junior year, but that was it during college. It's nice to have on during
the mornings or in the evenings when I am eating dinner.
