When sleep just isn't happening?

            So I guess it's one of those nights. Those nights where you can't sleep because you're mind is racing and something through out your day was missing. A little thing that makes your heart heal yet without it your heart can still be in pieces. For me that thing is simple worship music. I never really realise how much I listen to it through out my day, until my Ipod is with my mom and I don't fully have the outlet to listen to it unless I'm on my laptop. Seriously though, I don't use my laptop for music, it's more for youtube, blogging, Pinterest and Netflix/Shomi. So now its 12:15am, and I'm sitting listening to worship music trying to open my heart so I can have a nice sleep.

              Although I was also in a mood talk. Talk about plans and futures, what I want to learn and do once autumn calls, as I got very excited about it. As we all know fall is my favourite season. It's my new year, a time for change, growth and the last harvest before winter. The food is warmer, the colours are darker and my mood is over all better. It's the most breathable season for myself, I don't feel the want to stay inside. I don't feel as if my face is melting or my feet are wet from the rain or my toes are frozen from the snow. It's just perfect. The colours are the best for my pale skin, I can wear skirts with light tights and not have the feeling of numb legs. Hats and light jackets keep you warm but not too warm and the air smells of pumpkins, falling leaves, and hay. The air is crisp but not cold, and although everything is dying so to speak, it's giving us it's last beauty before everything turns white from snow. Which from the window with a hot chocolate is also beautiful.

         So here is what I want to learn and do
                1) before winter hit 500 subscribers
                2) Go for my hair dressing license (before 2017)
                3) Eyebrows (wax and tint)
               
           Yes they are 3 small goals but hey they will lead to much bigger and brighter things!

           I guess the good thing about having a blog and youtube is when no one is around there is always someone willing to read what is in your mind. Talking can be down in your head and on my computer and truthfully someone out there is bound to be having a sleepless night as well in need to Worship Jesus before bed and craving a good conversation. So I hope this helps someone as much as it helped me to just type and release thoughts from my mind.

      I hope you all have a good sleep/night or maybe afternoon.

          God bless :)

Charlotte Tilbury Review/Collection

       So as of May 13 2016, the day before Generation Beauty, I found my new favourite brand. Charlotte Tilbury. Now I don't get sent a lot of product and I doubt she will ever come to know my name, so you can be assured that I am telling the truth when I say these products are amazing.

      I went to Holt Renfrew in Toronto and saw her photo and ran inside to get my hands on a product, well lucky me I came out with 2! From then my collection over the months have just kept growing. I first started off with her Wonder Light Foundation in shade 1, which bless her soul, was my very, very fair colour. Also grabbing her Golden Goddess eye pallet. Which might I say is now a staple in my life. Seriously how did I live without those?

             Then came my anniversary with Adam, he was kind enough to buy me her brow pencil in Brooke S, Charlotte's new mascara Legendary Lashes, and her "Eyes to Mesmerise" in Jean, which I chose because it was the name of my grandmother.

       Then a few weeks later I got some lip products, Pillow talk lip cheat, and Lost Cherry Lipstick (which is a comfortable matte finish), and a cheeky new eye shadow pallet in Uptown girl which truthfully just reinstated the fact that to me, her eyeshadows are amazing.

          Lastly though, I picked up a Hot Lip, which is a range that for the first two months (Ends in September) 2$ from every Canadian sale from the lipsticks will go to a UK charity called "Women for Women" which of course I was very down to support. The shade I grabbed was Electric Poppy, name after Poppy Delevingne. Her colour is a bright, slightly vintage pinky red, that I found so flattering on paler skin.  The formula like Lost Cherry is a very wearable and comfortable matte that does not bleed.

         If you were to ask if you should give anything in her range a shot, I would say YES! Anything you chose is bound to be amazing, but I would say the top 3 favourites are her Wonder Light foundation, Her eye shadow Pallets, any of them, and her lip cheat in Pillow Talk. Although I really do adore everything so far in the range, and to be honest, my wish list just keeps growing. 
        
         I hope you all enjoy reading this and enjoyed the photos! (I am very proud of them!) Anyways God bless.
