In two weeks time, I’ll be making the move to the Big Apple to start an internship and live a completely different life than I’m used to. I come from suburbia. We drive our cars to get our groceries, we love flip flops and massive purses that we can carry all our stuff in. Living life in the city is going to be a far cry from all of that, so I’m making some major changes. Click the jump to see how I’m overhauling my lifestyle in terms of fashion and please, leave your tips if you have them! (I’m gonna need ‘em!)

While I’m glad that summer is finally around the corner here in Texas, I am not looking forward to months and months of this horrible humidity.

If you’ve never tried the makeup brushes from Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman, you’re seriously missing out. Sam and Nic are sisters and makeup artists from the UK with a crazy popular YouTube channel and fan following. Sam put out her own line of brushes not too long ago and they’re seriously worth all the hype. In my opinion, Real Techniques brushes give even the most popular brushes from MAC or Sigma a run for their money. Check out some comparisons and my personal favorites after the jump!

As a college student, I am prone to many late nights. As a result, I have developed perma-dark circles under my eyes. While I thought these could be hidden with a good concealer, a consultant at Sephora opened my eyes to another solution: the eye cream.

I always thought eye creams were for old ladies and paranoid young women, but as soon as she put some on me I noticed a total difference. The puffiness subsided immediately and I could easily cover up my circles and erase any trace of sleepiness.
