July Favourites!

Hey everyone!! 
It's been forever since I've done a favourites post so I'm pretty excited right now and I hope you are too! I've only been loving a few products this month so this post wont be too long I just wanted to share my new loves with you! So lets get started!

BEAUTY FAVOURITES
24 Hour Revlon Colorstay  Foundation
"I'm addicted and I just cant get enough!" Lyrics just get me sometimes...
For a drug store brand, this foundation is FANTASTIC! It stays where you apply it and has amazing coverage. It never leaves my skin feeling dry or oily and it stays on forever! Don't skip washing your face when you wear this foundation. It stays on so well that your pores wont be able to breathe. Wash that face! Don't be lazy!

Real Techniques Buffing Brush
 This brush is God sent! Its my "go to" brush for my foundation and so far I swear by it. I favour this brush over my others because the short bristles really help you work your foundation into your skin for a flawless finish. Anther reason why I love this brush so much is it's durability. I'm tough on my brushes and go through them quite quickly but this one has stayed in tact and I'm pretty happy about that!

Revlon Photoready Pressed Powder -Translucent
So this is the first time I've tried Revlons translucent powder and I'm in love. I'm privy to their photoready powder in medium but because it's summer I don't want to have a heavy amount of make up on and I feel like this translucent powder allows my skin to breathe a little better then their pigmented powders. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm just going by how my skin feels during the day. this powder has shimmer in it so once applied it, the shimmer will catch in the light and highlight your natural features. You don't have to worry about reapplying this product. I

t hugs to the colorstay foundation and creates a flawless matte finish.

Goody Ouchless Elastics
If you have thick hair, then you already know.. These are a miracle! I've been loving these pony tails for years. I go through them so fast, mostly because I lose them or they eventually break. Anyway, most pony tails break in my hair instantly but these last quite a long time and they don't have a metal connector so no more hair being pulled out! They're called ouchless for a very good reason! Try these out! I'm so sure you''ll love them just as much as I do!

Goody Medium Claw Clips
When applying my make up or styling my hair, I grab these clips. When applying my make up I clip my hair behind me to keep it out of the way. When I style my hair I like to use these clips to keep my hair sectioned. I find the medium clips to be the perfect size for my thick hair. they stay secured and hold my hair in place extremely well. If you want an easy half up hair style, pick up these clips or if you just want your hair out of your face I recommend them for that as well.

MUSIC FAVOURITES

Currently LOVING Kat Dahlia! I think I'm in love again. I'm addicted to this song and can't get enough, it's constantly on replay or playing in my head. I think what I love most about this song is the fact that it's so relatable. I think a lot of us ave had that moment of "Here we go again." and this song captures it pretty well. give it a listen. I think you'll enjoy it just as much as I do.  

Lets be honest for a second........ we all have those moments when were jamming out to a song and we get right into it, to the point where you pray to God that no one is watching you.. For me that song is BBHMM By Rihanna. Seriously, guys I dont know what comes over me when I hear this song but for some reason I think I'm Rihanna and I try to be as tough as she is but lets be real for another second..I'm not. but there's no shame in having fun and thats what I do. I have to say though, this song is NOT for everyone! Especially the video, It's NSFW and watch at your own discretion

And that's all I have for you guys this month. Not a lot of favourites but definitely good ones. What have you been loving this Month? Make sure to tell me down below! Happy FriYAY Everyone!

Long Distance Relationships - Date Ideas

The very thought of a LDR can be quite scary and even seem ridiculous to many people. but with the right tools, this type of relationship can be just as successful as an ordinary one

So to keep you and your Love close I've gathered a few different date Ideas you can enjoy with the help of technology and some pretty awesome websites! Some of these ideas are plain and simple which makes for great and relaxed dates that you both will love! So lets get started! 

1. TogetherTube 
This website is pretty great you can watch YouTube videos with other people at the same time and even chat! Use TogetherTube  to watch movies, or to share your favourite Youtuber with your Sweetheart!

2. Online Gaming
PC Gaming, Xbox, WiiU, PS4 Whatever you have that can let you and Bae play together, do it, it's fun! Race to the finish line in Mario Kart, Fight to the death in super smash or annihilate some treasure trolls, spiders and the skeleton king in Diablo III. Theres a game and console out there for everyone, try a few! =)

3. Skype
This is an obvious one. Skype is made for communication and has a visual aspect, so just like FaceTime, it's popular. Set aside some time once in a while to Skype your Babe and just talk! Communication is crucial in any relationship, especially when it comes to long distance!

4. Phone Calls
Another obvious idea. Phone calls can be great if you can keep a conversation going. Talk about the highs and lows of your day and what your plans are tomorrow. This is a really simple date idea, one you can always make time for. just sit down relax and just talk!

5. FlockDraw
If you can draw on your laptop or if you can't, give FlockDraw a try. I personally can't even draw a straight line on Paint but isn't it cool knowing you and your Love can create a picture together? 

6. Sing! Karaoke by Smule
I've had this on my phone for a while now and I really like it! Try this app if you like to sing or if you want to try something different with your Sweetie. This app is available for Apple and android so you can always play together! 

7. Twiddla
This super cool site allows you and yours to share the same screen. Twiddla allows you to draw, upload images and look at web pages together. Another great thing about this site is you can message and listen to each other. I found this a bit confusing to use on my own but give it a try with someone and see how it works for you

Hopefully I've given you a few new date ideas to try out in your relationship! If you try any of these or have any ideas that I didn't mention, let me know as I'm always curious to see what you guys come up with!
