Let's "Ketchup"

It's currently 2 in the morning and I have class at noon. You may be asking why on earth I'm even awake at this time. I think I'm semi-nocturnal. I tend to sleep extremely late and wake up around 8am, maybe 9, sometimes 10 (on accident). I definitely need to change my sleeping cycle. I don't even know what I'm doing when I'm up this late. Let's just jump around for a bit.

If you read my little bio thingy on the left hand side, it will tell you that I'm a junior in college as a biology major. Well, let's kick off this new school year with: I am now a senior who changed her major to political science. Now why did I do that? Biology isn't for me. What am I going to do with political science? Not 100% sure about that either. I was thinking about it today and I want to attend graduate school to obtain my MBA and then I want to attend cosmetology school because it's a hobby I enjoy.

Speaking of hobbies, I've recently picked up "extreme couponing." Now that I think about it, it's become more of a lifestyle rather than a hobby. I'm happy to say I'm a self taught couponer who will no longer pay for oral care necessities, feminine hygiene products and paper products such as toilet paper and paper towels. The only thing I would really pay full price for, though I try not to, is fresh produce because I rarely eat processed food. However, I can also coupon for processed foods for dirt cheap! Maybe I'll make a weekly couponing segment with things I've bought. Because of school, however, I haven't had the time to come up with my own breakdowns and rely on others for their own findings. I'll either tweak it to my liking or just imitate it completely. It's not a bad thing. The coupon community is very welcoming, but I do wish I had the time to come up with my own scenarios again. If y'all would like a sneak peak of my couponing adventures, check out my instagram: @danacoupons (=

I had a reason for this blog post but I kind of forgot.. I've always been into blogging (and possibly vlogging) but I don't think I'm the type of person who can open a document and type and speak oh so eloquently. Well, this has been more of me rambling and jumping from subject to subject. I'm off to read my book for class now!

Sweet dreams, night owls.

XOXO,

Dana

Schick Hydro Silk

Hi everyone! I'm a BzzAgent and had a chance to participate in the BzzCampaign for Schick's Hydro Silk razor! Bzz provided the free sample along with coupons that I will give to friends and family who are interested in the product!

This starter kit comes with the razor along with 2 refill cartridges. Let's start with the look of the razor. It is GORGEOUS! I'm a big fan of various blue shades and Schick hit it on the spot! I love the color. The handle is curved and gripped so it is easy to use. As for the blade, there are "5 curve-sensing blades" that did provide me a close and smooth shave. Schick says that their cartridge contains a "water-activated moisturizing serum" infused with marine extracts and shea butter so that it will continue to moisturize your body up to two hours after shaving. I definitely noticed that my legs were very smooth, however, I already moisturize immediately after a shower so I'm not exactly sure if this claim was true for me! This razor is very easy to use. The oval shape of the cartridge makes it easier for me to shave. I am definitely loving this razor and I think every female should give it a try! Remember, this razor is a traditional razor. You should be using shaving cream or gel with it. It just has an extra factor where it provides a moisturizing feeling even after your shave. I think that is the only downside with this product. I wish the moisturizing factor was provided and would be enough for a good shave instead of also having to apply a shaving gel. Other than that, I love this product! Thanks BzzAgent and Schick!

IMATS LA 2013 HAUL

Hello beauty geeks! :) IMATS LA was this past weekend and I had an amazing experience! I got to meet so many youtube/beauty bloggers that I follow/watch. I also got new tips and tricks and TONS of discounts! IMATS LA takes place at the Pasadena Convention Center. This year, it took place in January when it is usually in June. I'm not sure when tickets actually went on sale BUT they do sell out so if you REALLY want to go, I suggest purchasing them immediately after the announced sale date! As I will mention in my video, I suggest that you take advantage of the 2-day tickets or the Saturday ticket. Inventory is better, more people attend and the hours are longer! However, Sunday is more calm, there is still inventory and it's still great, too! I picked up so many new products that I'm so excited to use! Please watch my video to see what new goodies I got!! If you got anything at IMATS or plan to go, leave a comment down below! :D

ENJOY!

XOXO,
Dana

Sunny Winter Day OOTD

Who says winter doesn't come with sunshine? Sunny socal is definitely living up to its name. Though it does come with slightly chilly mornings, the afternoons are usually too hot for a jacket. On this fine day, I decided to wear a very casual and comfy outfit that is really perfect for any day!

Camo Love

The camo trend is steadily growing and I suppose I've gotten myself into it as well, but not as much as others. I don't like wearing a vet's old blouse especially since I haven't served any time in the military so this is my take on it. I aslo don't like the darkness of the colors so I opted for something more muted and not so trenchcoat-like!

 

Collective Fall Haul!

Fall is one of my favorite seasons because it's the time for layers on layers on layers! It's the transition from bright summer colors to muted and neutral colors. Now, just to let y'all know, this haul has been accumulating for about 2 months now. As a "broke college student," I rarely shop so it took me a while to compile all of these items. I have neutral colors and items that can be easily incorporated into a casual outfit for class or formal outfit for a night on the town! On to my new goodies!

Cars Land OOTD

I just finished my first round of midterms and as a treat, my boyfriend & I took a trip to Disneyland and California Adventures to visit the newest attraction, Cars Land! The last time we were at the park was December 2011 when the renovations were taking place for Cars Land. I really wanted to see Disneyland in October because of the Halloween decorations and my boyfriend was really interested in Cars Land!
