SPILL IT! SPRING SUNDAY WIMB



It's been a while since I've done a post! My style has changed a bit since I left. I've scaled down my closet and  focused on a color palette. Lots of new changes to share!

I'm trying to scale down what I carry in my bag, especially on the weekend when I'm in the city (who wants to carry a huge tote in the city?) Sunday in the city usually have my Canon T3i strapped around my neck (hence the Canon lens cap). I also like to carry my homemade external hard drive. even though I don't carry around my laptop, I can still hook it up to to a computer in cafe or library and upload the pictures if I want to share them. I know, I know. What about a flash drive? I've lost too many USB drives off my keychain to bother with those anymore.

I like to carry my composition book for quick notes, ideas, to do lists and doodles when I'm out and about. I also have my Warby Parker specks and Calvin Klein shades. Quick tip: only carry one glasses case! Rocket science, right? But when I'm wearing one pair, I just store the other.  Plus my hard CK case is big enough to store both at the same time if I really wanted.

I've given up on carrying the makeup bag. I came to realize that I use my emergency makeup bag as a safety blanket. Let's be honest, how many times do you use everything in that bag every time you go out? Now I just carry my MAC Cosmetics Amorous Lipstick and my CHANEL EDT. I also snagged some samples at Sephora. Last but not least, my light grey MK scarf. Its good to keep spring scarf with you even when it gets hot. Sometimes the air conditioning blows too hard and too cold when walking in and out of buildings.

Welp, that's it for today! What are your spring bag must haves?



08.03.15 TAP THAT APP - RAIN RAIN



There are two things I hate about traveling. Packing and sleeping in a foreign place.  I can't avoid packing, but I've figured out a way to sleep comfortably anywhere I go with this soothing tranquility app called RAIN RAIN.




Rain Rain is a free app that plays ambient sounds to help you relax and fall asleep.  I love it! There are so many sounds to choose from and additional sound packages can be purchased. Multiple sounds can also be mixed together based on your preference!


You can also set a timer. The sounds can be set to gently fade out after certain intervals when you sleep so that you battery won't go to waste. I usually set mine to 1 hour.  The rain mix I've set up for myself knocks me out every time no matter where I lay my head!

Try it out!

07.27.15 TAP THAT APP - INSTA VOGUE




Want a free app that works just as good as FaceTune to erase blemishes from your pictures? Check out this free app called Insta Vogue!






Many popular beauty pages use the paid app Facetune to edit their pictures. I, on the other hand, have found an app just as good for free!! Yay!! The app INSTA VOGUE is FREE and helps you to blur away blemishes, wrinkles, unwanted shadows, brighten your teeth and eyes, sharpen, and so much more!

Check out my before and after! The left picture shows some of the smile lines around  my eyes and patchiness on my chest.  On the right, I smoothed the smile lines near my mouth and eyes, whitened my teeth and eyes, and blurred the blemishes on my forehead and chest! 

Great app! Try it out!
