My Favorite Stores 2014 Style

Because it is winter break, I have been shopping a lot, whether it was for Christmas presents, presents for my teachers, or shopping at my favorite clothing stores for myself. I wanted to share my favorite stores that I rely on to buy the necessities I need to make each present and add to my wardrobe, in case any of you guys want to check out these stores I will be mentioning.

1. CVS/Walgreens - Lets just say that I splurged on buying many things to help concoct the Christmas gifts I made for my teachers and college counselor. I love CVS and Walgreens because even though they are drugstores, they have the best selection of chocolates and candles, and when it gets closer to Christmas, they stock up on the cutest gifts, from peppermint bark to adorable Christmas cards. Even when it is not the holidays I still am a regular at these drugstores whether to buy hair products, makeup, or other necessities.

2. Sephora - I love Sephora because of the great quality products they sell. I went to Sephora yesterday, and purchased a new makeup bag for home and traveling, and a new Tarte Amazonian Clay concealer and compact mirror. Sephora has the best brands of makeup, and always have my favorites, Soap and Glory, Bare Minerals, Clinique, Tarte, and the Sephora Collection. Although their makeup can be a bit on the expensive side, their products last a long time, are of great quality, and someone will always be there to help you if you need help finding a specific product or are not sure what type of makeup suits you. I rarely walk out of Sephora without a new makeup product in my hand.

3. Godiva Chocolatier - I don't normally go into this store, but I did to get Christmas presents for my family, as they love chocolate, especially Godiva. Godiva offers so many different types of chocolate for great prices, and I walked out in 10 minutes with presents for each of my family members. I love this store because they have a great selection of products that are certain to meet every customers needs, and the store is so adorable that you automatically feel comfortable once you set foot inside.

4. Victoria's Secret - I have been a huge fan of Victoria's Secret for a few years, and I recently went back to look for a new perfume. I love the Pink brand body mists, and even though they aren't really perfumes, I like wearing them daily, as they smell fantastic. Victoria's Secret is expensive, but their quality of products is great, and their leggings, yoga pants, and sweatshirts are very comfortable. Like
Sephora, once I walk into Victoria's Secret I rarely walk out without having bought anything.

Getting Through Finals Week

As winter break is approaching and finals week is coming up, many students are stressed about how to study in order to perform successfully on their tests. Here are some tips on how to be calm, well rested, and ready for finals week. 1. Use Quizlet  - I started using Quizlet my junior year of high school, and I have used it ever since. I am now a freshman in college and I still use Quizlet for my classes. Quizlet is amazing; if you have a lot of terms you need to memorize, Quizlet is the perfect online website that will help you study those terms. Once you write in the terms and their definitions, there are a variety of options you can choose in order to study the terms, including a test, flashcards, etc. 2. Get lots of rest - Don't stay out late when you know you have a final the next day. Getting a lot of rest is beneficial if you want to perform well on a test.

Spicy Veggie Bean Chili

Since moving from my old house with a tiny, cramped kitchen to my new house with a large, open kitchen with an island, I have been meal prepping, cooking, and baking a lot more. With this, I have been keen to try new recipes! I do eat meat, but most of the time I tend to cook vegetarian and vegan meals. This vegetarian chili recipe was one that I came across while browsing for a good, hearty chili recipe, and it is so delicious I had to share it with all of you. I did not come up with this recipe myself. The lovely Shannon, with her blog "The Glowing Fridge," posted this recipe. Her website is amazing, and I highly recommend you check it out.
