Its beginning to look a lot like finals.

It is crazy to think that finals are this week and that the semester is almost over. It literally flew by. As for finals I have a few tips I wanted to share with y'all to make things a little less stressful!

1. Remember to take breaks!
    -One of the best ways to study is to study for about an hour and then take a 10 minute break.
2. Listen to music! (Unless you find that super distracting)
    -I find that listening to music can make studying so much more enjoyable.
3. Have a snack ready!
    -Before you sit down to crack the books have a snack and drink in hand.
4. Find what study technique works for you! Some of my favorites are:
    -Notecards (or Quizlet)
    -Study Guides
    -Study Groups
5. Finally, don't stress!
    -I know that finals are stressful and it is hard not to get overwhelmed, but it is important to keep your
     head up and a smile on your face.

I hope these 5 quick tips helped you. I want to leave y'all with a verse from Philippians 4:6 which is one that always come to mind before a big test or exam.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."

NYC New York Color Big Bold Gloss

The Bigger the Lips the Bigger the Kiss: 


Recently I received the Varsity VoxBox from Influenster, and included in it was a NYC Big Bold Lip Gloss. This product is one of the better lip products I have tried recently! Not only was it moisturizing and plumping, it had a good smell, and did what it said it would do. I don't know about y'all, but that is my kind of product. I thought I would list some pros and cons to this product so it could help future buyers!

Pros:
-Not sticky
-Light weight
-Good coverage

Cons:
-The applicator is pretty big and makes it hard to apply cleanly.
-The texture of it is not my favorite.

Overall this product is pretty good in my opinion, it isn't however one I would rush out to buy over some other of my favorite lip products.

*I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing and reviewing purposes. All opinions are my own*
