I know I am thankful for several things including my family, friends, health, and education. Often times I take for granted the simple things in life, and this leads me to always wanting <i>more. </i>we should be more appreciative of those small, almost inadequate things in our lives because once we learn to be truly thankful for what we have, our lives would become so much happier, guaranteed!<br />
<div>
Just reflecting back on life, I'm really grateful for having silly friends that have stood by me through thick and thin. Who else would I hang out in school and speak with?! I'm glad I have a dynamic group of loud and quiet personalities that all accept me for me! (So cheesy I know)</div>
<div>
Here's an homage to the crazy people I call my friends! Apologies in advance for the potato-quality that is a phone camera.</div>

Spring is just around the corner, and I can't wait to feel the warm again! As much as I <i>adore </i>my L.L Bean boots, I am sick of winter and the freezing weather it ensues. Online shopping always puts me in the best mood so with that being said, I found some of the most darling things that would be great for spring!<br />

Today in the spur of the moment, my friend (<a href="http://sincerelysuzy.blogspot.ca/2012/07/day-at-shops.html" target="_blank">Bernita</a>) and I decided to go to this cute little <i>patisserie </i>called Cafe Princess. It was very cute to say the least, with the floral printed couches and all sorts of girly embellishments. It was fun to get out after being a house hermit for so long during the winter break, the spontaneity of it made it so much fun!<br />

I haven't posted much lately because I never know what to write about or say so I thought that I would ease the transition by putting up an outfit post. I am beyond excited for Christmas to say the least, and after watching 'Frozen' in theatres with my mom today (which by the way was amazing!) I'm looking forward to the holidays even more! It's just such a great, positive, and uplifting movie which is currently impacting my mood I guess. Anyway, this outfit you will see is inspired by the inconsistent Canadian weather currently, so in order to accompany this fluctuating weather I tend to lean toward warm, stylish, and comfortable outfits.<br />

It will obviously take a lot of effort to try and achieve them all but I feel like everyone has certain things they want to do in the future. As time progresses, more things will be added but for now this is my list!<br />

Lately I have been trying to change my outlook on life to a more positive approach. It is easy to wake up each morning feeling bummed out and already upset at the world. Just thinking about all the schoolwork I know I'll receive that day to add onto my already giant load of homework is making me feel miserable however, just a slight tweak in attitude makes all the difference. Before I get out of bed I tell myself that "today is going to be a good day" and genuinely mean it, and to me it really helps. I begin to go about that day with a happier state of mind and not dread it as much any more.<br />
It is undoubtedly difficult to maintain such positivity when life is not going the way you want it to <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">–</span> unexpected low grades, falling behind in homework, approaching due dates with work that has yet to be started <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">–</span> yet through perseverance it makes you a better person (or me at least). Life is all about balance, whether it's between work, school, and extra-curricular activities, it is important to limit and not overwork ourselves. We all know the saying "too much of anything is bad", and that includes schoolwork and even Internet; this goes without saying that by keeping harmony in all aspects of life we can really begin to appreciate the little things in life ultimately leading to happiness.<br />
When the world is hard on you and you feel like giving up before you even begin, remember my favourite quote by Babe Ruth. <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

Every once in a while I tend to wander over to various online shops just to browse at the beautiful fall-themed new arrivals. In order to control my shopping addiction, I put together four pieces that I have been lustfully eying online but do not have the heart to purchase, maybe one I will have acquired all these for my wardrobe.<br />

<a href="https://www.alexandani.com/" target="_blank">Alex & Ani</a> has the most <i>adorable</i> quintessential dainty bracelets. I would love to one day own the "S" initial one and my birthstone bracelet. How cute would it looked stacked together!</div>
<div style="padding-top: 16px;">
<a href="http://www.gap.com/" target="_blank">Gap </a>has got to be one of my most favourite stores for basic and good quality pieces. Every time I go to Gap I always make it a habit to wander over to the classic button-up section where the beloved gingham shirt is hung on a hanger to check if maybe just <i>maybe </i>it's on sale.</div>
<div style="padding-top: 16px;">
<a href="http://www.llbean.com/" target="_blank">L.L.Bean</a> boots are always adorned by many preppy girls, and me being the conformist I am love them too. I do agree that it's not everyone's cup of tea however I think they look really nice and not to mention very practical for the snowy Canadian climate. </div>

Although I only use a select amount of products, these few items are pretty much my everyday go-to necessities for getting ready in the morning. Without further ado, scroll down to see my makeup must haves!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As you can see here, these are all my products used on my face, it's very minimal BUT it's all i need anyway. I'll just give a brief review of each product so you could get the jist of why I like them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><i>Urban Decay's NAKED Flushed Palette</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A quick Google search will show you the inside of this amazing palette. What I love most about this is that all the face products you need are in there! (A bronzer, a blush, and a highlighter) I mainly use the bronzer for my face and it gives the perfect bronze glow to my skin. The glitterless bronzer is a perfect match for summer, since it won't clog your pores! The blush and highlighter are also amazingly pigmented.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><i>MAC Studio Finish Pressed Powder</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you're looking for a light coverage powder for your face, look no further! This product took me an eternity to finish, especially since I was alternating between this powder and my MAC Mineralized Skin Finish Natural (which to be honest I like a bit better). MAC powders do a great job in keeping your face shine free all day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><i>Clean & Clear Oil Blotting Sheets</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Speaking of shiny faces, these blotting sheets are absolutely amazing in getting those oily spots on your face. The quality of the sheets themselves are incredible since they don't rip with use opposed to those Boscia ones I own (no offense Boscia blotting linens, haha). A great investment in my opinion!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><i>Benefit's Watts Up</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On a more positive not of shine, this creamy Benefit highlighter (obtained from Sephora's birthday perks, p.s you should sign up to get one too on your b-day!) has a great creamy consistency with just the rights amount of shine, illuminating the face without looking tacky.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Whole Food's Organic Peppermint Chapstick</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love the smell of mint in general, so this lip product is perfect for other mint lovers out there! With just the right amount of mint without being too potent and the perfect amount of moisture, what's not to love? Oh and it's organic so that's another plus!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Going on a little tangent here, I have been loving these skincare products at the moment. My skin hasn't been very agreeable lately so these two products have been my lifesavers. Here's why!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><i>Clean & Clear Persa Gel 5</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've read many reviews about this product and was hesitant to try it but am so glad I did! This acne medicated product can literally get rid of you zits overnight, and any upcoming and inevitable breakouts. A definite recommendation on my behalf, not only that but it comes with loads of product in such a tiny tube.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><i>Clean & Clear Acne Control Moisturizer</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I swear I'm not a Clean & Clear ambassador or anything but they just make such amazing products for my acne prone-combination skin. So with that, I decided to try their moisturizer, once again with many positive reviews I decided to jump on the bandwagon and purchase one myself to see what the fuss was about. I was quickly impressed by the product, it didn't give that sticky feeling some moisturizers do and paired with the Persa Gel 5, it worked wonders!</div>
<br />
Hope I didn't burn your eyes out, or tire your minds with this lengthy post but I just had to share my must haves with you readers! Hope you liked it.<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />

If it's one quote that got me through these past few stressful weeks it's the quote: "don't sweat the small stuff". I am pretty sure that everyone could relate to this in some way or another, whether we're cramming for exams (for me at least) or just feeling bummed out, we've all felt undeniably stressed. With exams coming to an end, and summer just around the corner, it's hard to keep priorities in tact. Personally, exam seasons are the worst, we start to feel regret for "not studying earlier" and in return develop beautiful dark raccoon under eye circles from all the late night studying. I don't know about you but sometimes I feel really down just thinking about ALL the work still needed to be done, and not having enough time to write notes and study for all my subjects. But if we really put things into perspective, a little stress is good; it drives motivation which inevitably leads you to do better in school. However, too much stress can make what I like to call "Teenage Depression"; this includes the feelings of hopelessness, never feeling like you're good enough, and the list goes on.<br />
School is important, yes, but we shouldn't slave over it and forget the things in life that we actually enjoy. In 10 years from now, I doubt we'll regret that ONE unit we didn't study for, or that ONE test we did poorly on. It's easy to get caught up in all the little things that make you frustrated rather than see everything as a whole.<br />
Take each day one day at a time, live in the moment, take a moment to unwind, and most importantly don't sweat the small stuff.<br />

Hi lovelies!<br />
<br />
Happy Saturday! If only that qualified as a real holiday, life would be good... Anyway, today my sister and I gave into our sweet tooth craving and decided to splurge over a cup of fro yo. Although today was pretty chilly to get fro yo, it did not matter, we got it anyways.<br />
For a quick recap of the day, first we went to the fro yo store and used those little cups to take a million samples. Some tasted really disgusting while others became my new favourites, one of them happened to be cotton candy (so good!). So this is my sister's first debut on my blog! Whether or not you knew I had a sister, well I do, and she's a year younger than me. Without further do, scroll down to see the photos.<br />

<br />
I am two weeks into my summer vacation and it has been quite enjoyable so far. I took a well needed two months off so I could concentrate on school to pull up my average as much as I could for my final mark. As you could have probably guessed by the title of this post, I went shopping with the bestie! However, this "mall" wasn't like any ordinary mall, it was a strip mall. By this I mean the kinds where you would have to walk out of each individual store to go to the next one.<br />
Honestly, the trip was quite spontaneous. We did the most random things, ate a whole meal, and the best part? We didn't spend a single penny! How you might be thinking? Well just keep on reading to find out. First we walked around a bit, and went into some shops like Aritzia, Anthropologie (which I absolutely love!) and then we came to Murale. Murale is a beauty store, similar to Sephora, and since I saw a posting online for a professional NARS makeup lesson by a man name Andre (who apparently has many credentials in the makeup industry) I decided that we should sign up. This class was two hours and very knowledgeable, I learned a lot, got a makeover from a makeup artist and this is where the freebies kick in. There were complimentary sandwiches and water for the guests! Not little finger foods, but the whole sandwich! So we ended up taking three and splitting it so one and a half each. After the lesson, they gave us this coupon which allowed us to have one free hot beverage at a local espresso shop, so we seized the opportunity and got free drinks!<br />
If you made it to the end of this long story, I applaud you because this is probably the longest post I've ever written about my day. So keep on scrolling to see the pictures!<br />

I hope everyone's having a great day, and sorry for the infrequent postings; I have been busy and uninspired lately. Today's post is based off a nail design posted by The Beauty Department (<a href="http://www.thebeautydepartment.com/">www.thebeautydepartment.com</a>). This website has amazing beauty tips and ideas, especially their nail designs! They're so creative, unique, cute and somewhat easy to do. Since I owned all the colours needed, I thought that a re-creation on the original design would be fun to try out. Without further ado, keep on scrolling to see my take on this design. </div>

<br />
I had an incredible opportunity to attend a fashion show as a school field trip! Normally school trips consist of visiting historical museums and other uneventful places. But when the opportunity came about, I jumped at the chance; by being a fashion blogger I was excited to go.<br />
The fashion show I went to was hosted by a college in my city where third year student designers had to individually come up with their own collection consisting of around three to four pieces. Some of the outfits were stunning, whereas some were very abstract (to say the least). However, I feel like I would have enjoyed the show more if it was shorter since there were so many students and collections to showcase. Overall, it was a great experience.<br />

<br />
March has gone by so fast, anyone else agree? First things first, I want to thank my readers SO much for reading my posts, commenting on them and following me. When I first started my blog, I never in a million years imagined that so many people would read my blog. Within the first week of creating my blog, I had around a hundred views and I was so ecstatic about that amount, since I was intending on almost no audience. This is the third month from when I started and I have more than five thousand three hundred views! That is honestly incredible and I wouldn't have been able to reach that amount without you readers. So thank you for all the support and sticking with me through these past three months! Scroll below to see an outfit I wore today.<br />

<br />
The weather's getting warmer so you know what that means... it's almost skirt season! I love spring, everything about it; from the warm weather to being able to finally ditch my winter jacket. I thought a lot about what new post I should put up, and after lots of thinking I thought that sharing my spring trends with you readers would be a great idea! With spring just around the corner, here are my spring "ins" and "outs" for the season, so keep on reading!<br />
<br />
<u>Fashion</u><br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">In</span>- The <i>eyelet</i> pattern is incredibly in for spring. When I think spring fashion, I imagine soft, feminine pieces; especially dresses. In the photo below, you can see that this dress is a great example for this trend. By incorporating the classic spring white dress along with the pattern, this dress is a must-have.<br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">In</span>- Bold, solid <i>coloured shorts</i> are a really exciting new trend for me. I have always stayed on the safe side of the colour spectrum; this includes dark and light wash jean shorts, not exciting I know. This spring (and summer) is a great excuse to try out the colour blocking trend. Colourful shorts create a sense of uniqueness, boldness and look amazing as well.<br />
<span style="color: #ea9999;">Out</span>- It is time to leave the <i>cheetah print</i>, it was only a fad and not fit for spring. Cheetah print is too androgynous for spring (in my opinion). This spring is all about the girly fashion; as seen on the Louis Vuitton Spring 2012 Runway, femininity is the way to dress! <br />
<span style="color: #ea9999;">Out</span>- Along with my persuasion to wear more feminine clothing, the <i>masculine trend</i> has to leave. This means combat boots, studs, dark colours, and black leather jackets. Fashion continuously recycles itself between feminine and masculine trends; last year, masculinity was more looked upon but this year femininity has taken the reigns.<br />
<br />

<u>Beauty</u><br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">In</span>- <i>Pastel nail polish</i> is one of my favourites all year round, but with spring coming up I'm super excited to wear it. My main three pastel nail polish colours are mint green, pink and a lilac. The Louis Vuitton Spring 2012 Runway stresses pastel, almost every single outfit has a pastel colour so incorporating the colour into nail polish only makes sense!<br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">In</span>- Spring is all about going "au naturel". I always like to wear bare, <i>natural makeup</i> year round, but this season stresses on the relaxed, bare, light makeup look. I would do this by lightly dusting powder on the face or even use tinted moisturizer, instead of liquid foundation. Add a touch of mascara, no eyeshadow, a light flush of blush to the cheeks and a neutral lip product and voila you're done!<br />
<span style="color: #ea9999;">Out</span>- If spring is about going all natural on makeup, the "out" would be wearing a <i>smokey eye</i>. Spring is definitely not the season to test out the smokey eye, just keep this look for the night time or (even better) not at all. <br />

<br />
Today I went skiing! (As a school trip, of course). So for all those adventurous people, this may be the post for you! I can honestly say that I'm not an amazing skiier, and I can also admit that I fell about ten times this trip, but I'm still pretty decent, haha. <br />
As for the day itself, I woke up at a staggering 5:30 a.m, then headed out the door at 6:15 a.m for school in order to be there by 6:30 a.m. We used a school bus to the ski resort which I think took about one and a half hours or maybe two. During those long hours, my bestie and I occupied time by reading magazines & books, talking and of course, eating snacks. When we finally got there, we attended a lesson which gave us our colour level and now we were free to ski by ourselves! Today was so much fun and I'm definitely looking forward to the next time I get to go skiing.<br />

Hi lovelies!<br />
<br />
I love the look of equestrian clothing because it looks so sophisticated, conservative and put together, which is how I personally classify my style. Although I have never ridden a horse, I'm inspired by the fashion. A classic horse back riding outfit consists of a blazer, a button-up shirt, tight riding pants and riding boots. At an attempt to recreate the look, I took a more wearable and casual take on the outfit.<br />
<br />

Hi lovelies!<br />
<br />
Has this week been as hectic to you as it has to me? I had a bunch of tests, assignments and exams to do but good thing that's over! This post is based on what I think every girl should have in her closet, a striped shirt! Striped shirts are kind of risky since they do bring the illusion of width to the body. One of my friends actually asked me "how do <u>you</u> wear a striped shirt?" and I guess that kind of inspired this post.<br />
The way I wore my striped shirt in this post is through layering and one tiny pop of colour. This outfit involves monochromatic colours with one bold colour, turquoise. Without any further ado, scroll down to see the pictures.<br />
<br />
Here are the photos:<br />

<br />
In my fashion class at school, one of our projects was to make a pair of pyjamas. So when I was buying the materials needed, I wanted my fabric theme to be "girly and floral" and that's exactly what I got. Some people thing floral is granny-like but I really like the trend!<br />
I never knew making a simple pair of PJ pants took so much work. I had about five weeks (I think) to work on this project, and I finished early. When I was done sewing and putting together my PJs, I wanted to show my readers! So with the help of my sister, we had a "pyjama photo shoot". I know we're not the most professional people in the world but it was fun!<br />
<br />
Here are the photos:<br />

Now for the random stuff. Since I want to get more conversation going on in the comments, what are your favourite shows at the moment? I recently found this amazing show called "Jane by Design" and can totally envision myself in Jane's shoes, or should I say heels, haha. We're similar in many ways, and I would kill to have her internship.</div>

Hi lovelies!</div>
<br />
Today (well, yesterday) was my sweet sixteen; although I didn't have a glamorous or expensive birthday party, I still enjoyed my birthday. It was a really simple and sweet day that was spent with my family and relatives.<br />
My birthday was split up into two parts, my actual birthday (January 27) and today (January 28). On my real birthday (in order of events), I woke up to my sister bringing me a gift bag of presents from my family, then having to practice piano for an hour because I had to go to piano class later on that day. After my piano class, my mom, sister and I went to the mall to retrieve my free Starbucks drink courtesy of my birthday (for Starbucks rewards members). A couple hours later, my sister and I went to our church's fellowship, and lastly, even though it was 10 p.m we went out to a restaurant where many of my relatives were there as well.<br />
<br />
Here are the photos:<br />

<br />
For part two of my birthday, I went to downtown to shop around with my brother and sister. We walked around for a while until we found a nice place to grab a drink. This place called "Darkhorse Espresso Bar" was our destination. My brother ordered a 'London Fog' while my sister ordered a lemonade, which later she didn't want then gave to me, haha. After we came out of 'Darkhorse' we made our way to Eaton Center where we grabbed a bite and a little dessert. For the big meal, I ordered a classic cheeseburger combo at "Big Smoke Burger" and for the treat, I got a strawberry gelato at "Froshberg Gelato".<br />

As for what I got for my birthday and what I wore, there's a picture for all that! I'm really thankful for all the gifts I got, especially the new addition to my NAKED palette family... NAKED 2! And the new camera I got (see the difference in the quality?). Enough chit chat, just look at the photos, haha.</div>

<br />
Today I've got a good (but long) post in store for you readers. As requested by one of my friends, I have decided to show you my top eight makeup must haves and review them. There are a couple holy grail products here, so if you're looking into buying one (or more!) of these products but not sure whether they are worth the investment, hype or quality, you've come to the right place!<br />
<br />
Here's the photo:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
1. The <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #8e7cc3;">Urban Decay NAKED Palette</span> is one of the most popular neutral eyeshadow palettes. I personally adore this palette because the eyeshadows are great quality with amazing pigmentation; there's a variety of colours for every skin tone that range from an everyday natural look to a nighttime smoky look.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;"> Cost:</span> $58 (CAD) at Sephora<br />
2. The <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #8e7cc3;">NARS Laguna Bronzer </span>is one of my all time favourites and one of my holy grail products. It's the perfect shade for my fair skin colour, not to mention the slight shimmer too! This bronzer gives off a natural, sun kissed glow while adding dimension to the face.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;"> Cost:</span> $38 (CAD) at Sephora<br />
3. The <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #8e7cc3;">NARS Deep Throat Blush</span> despite the name, is the "hype girl" to NARS' Orgasm Blush which is much more popular than 'Deep Throat'. However, since I do own both, I much prefer NARS' Deep Throat Blush because it's pretty much the same colour but has no gold undertone and less shimmer.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">Cost:</span> $29 (CAD) at Sephora<br />
4. MAC products really have a spot in my heart, haha! Not only do they cost less, but are also very much worth the value. My <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #8e7cc3;">MAC Mineralized Skinfinish Natural</span> in Medium is my other holy grail product. This is a product I encourage all my readers to buy, it gives the perfect coverage and does not look cakey at all.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;"> Cost:</span> around $27 (CAD) at MAC<br />
5. Another product I love is the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #8e7cc3;">MAC Blankety Lipstick</span>. This colour compliments my skin tone perfectly and adds a slight bit of colour as well. I really love MAC lipsticks because of the colour options, the formulation and the scent. I suggest MAC lipsticks in general, to everyone!<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">Cost:</span> $19 (CAD) at MAC<br />
6. A highlighter will brighten up the high points on the face and give off a little shine, the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #8e7cc3;">Benefit High Beam</span> is the best one to do so. The fun part, is that the packaging resembles a nail polish but is actually a liquid highlighter.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">Cost:</span> $30 (CAD) at Sephora<br />
7. Mascara is not a product I use on an everyday basis however, if I did wake up early enough everyday to use it, I would use the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b4a7d6;">Makeup Forever Smoky Lash Mascara</span>. If you know me well, you'd probably think that Maybelline One by One is my favourite. I mean I like it very much but it doesn't do much for my eyelashes. 'Smoky Lash' really volumizes and lengthens my lashes while 'One by One' just holds the curl.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">Cost:</span> $24 (CAD) at Sephora<br />
8. YAY, last product! This is yet again, another product I don't use everyday, but is still one of the best liquid eyeliners I have ever used. The <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #8e7cc3;">Stila Liquid Eyeliner </span>is very easy to use and the colour payoff is amazingly dark and does not smudge or budge at all.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">Cost:</span> $26 (CAD) at Sephora<br />
<br />
If you read everything from the beginning to the end, I adore you very much and I'm sending kisses your way; and if you didn't... none for you! I'm just joking, I thank EVERY one of my readers that took the time to stop by and even glance at this post.<br />
<br />
Hugs and kisses,<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span">Hi lovelies! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span class="Apple-style-span"> Being that this is the first post, I thought that it would be best to introduce myself and talk about what's to come on this blog! </span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span class="Apple-style-span"> So first off, I'm a 15 years old (soon to be 16 on January 27!) and after being inspired by many prestigious, well-known blogs, I one day decided that I wanted to "be like those people" too. If you're wondering about the reason behind naming my blog title, it's because I randomly came up with the name based off my Tumblr account (www.highprofilehighexpectations.tumblr.com). Not much of a meaning behind it, haha!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span class="Apple-style-span"> Now for this blog, I'm planning on doing everything under the sun! From outfit of the days, experiences, reviews on products, and anything else in-between. I'm super excited to see how this blog will progress and if you readers have any suggestions for topics, or ways to improve, please let me know!</span></div>
