Recent Record Additions

Tuesday, May 5, 2015

Every now and then I'll get some new records to add to my little collection I've got going, and I thought I'd share my latest additions with you.

When I found out that the Clueless soundtrack was released on vinyl for the 20th anniversary I immediately whipped out my credit card. It is one of my favorite movies and all. 

Although it's missing a couple of pivotal songs, like the ending scene's "Tenderness," it gives all the movie vibes and I love it. 

Favorite tracks: 
Shake Some Action- Cracker
Fake Plastic Trees {Acoustic}- Radiohead
Change- Lightning Seeds
Where'd You Go- The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Alright- Supergrass 

I dig Arctic Monkeys a lot, but the only vinyl I'd owned before this addition was AM. {Which is a phenomenal album}

Suck It And See is classic Arctic Monkeys vibes for me- ya know, red lipstick, leather vest.....

Favorite tracks:
She's Thunderstorms
Black Treacle
Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair
All My Own Stunts
That's Where You're Wrong

The first time I heard MisterWives was on a HelloKaty video and I was hooked. I love their indie sounds and Mandy Lee's vocals are killer. 

I felt like their debut album would sound pretty great on my record player.... I was right. 

Favorite tracks:
Our Own House
Reflections
Oceans
Hurricane
Imagination Infatuation 
Vagabond

PM Skincare Routine

Monday, May 4, 2015


I think I've gotten a pretty good skincare routine down in more recent days. 

To be honest I'm not totally sure what my skin type is, but it has the characteristics of combination. My forehead tends to get crazy oily and my breakouts are mostly {unfortunately} hormonal. 

All the products I use for skincare are natural because I don't really want chemicals seeping into my skin, and I've found that my face handles these products better.


My night time routine includes only three steps:

//When I'm in the shower I cleanse with Purpose wash, which I've been using for a couple of years and is really gentle and light. It's soap-free {soap dries your face out!} and hypoallergenic. 

//Once I'm out of the shower I spritz on some of my Boots Botanics Rosewater toning spritz. This product was my first experience with toner and it's aaaamazing! Toning is actually a pretty important step in skincare- it hydrates and detoxifies. 

//I let the toner set for a minute, and then my last step is moisturizing with coconut oil. It only takes a little bit {rubbed in really well!} and your skin is soft and fresh. 

I've seen a lot of bloggers and youtubers that have an array of steps and products in their routine and while that's great, it just doesn't work for my skin. What I've got going right now works and I like that!

Of course, I'm always willing to try out new tips! Spill your PM routine......
