WORD OF THE YEAR: REIGN

The word that I've chosen for this year is Reign. 2015 was all about learning and growing. Last year was really the first time I felt like I had a sense of... identity in a sense. Like I really came to grow into my self that year and I went through so many life changing things. It was a growing year truly and this year is all about my shine. 

I have lots of things that i've been planning for years and this year is finally the time that I set things in motion. I graduate high school, get to work on some exciting projects, and move onto the next chapter of my life. 

This is my year to reign.

I BOUGHT SMELL GOODS

I have discovered Lush and it's the greatest place I have ever been! It in all honesty smells like all of my hopes and dreams. The only location I knew of in the city shut down but luckily I found a new one on 34th street when I was out with Grandma. 

The atmosphere was so relaxing and everyone who worked there was so nice and lovely- hi Jaleesa!

I ended up leaving with the Breath of Fresh Air Toner Water which is so extremely true to name and two soaps Snowcake and Porridge (the latter being free thanks to their offer right now).

So glad to finally say I am no longer a Lush Virgin.

What are you loving from Lush?

LiSTENING TO: JAMES BAY- LET IT GO

Finding some new tunes was definitely the best way for me to ring in the new year and Thank You Gawd I discovered this voice of wonder! I can't believe I hadn't discovered him sooner because James Bay- literally, he is bae- is super talented and his voice is to die for. He reminds me of like a younger, slightly more upbeat Hozier (whom I also love more than anything). 

James Bay's 'Let It Go' is the only thing I've been able to listen to for days and I seriously can't get enough of him. I damn near shed tears when he performed it with Ed Sheeran.

This is definitely one to check out for the Winter season!
