I recently switched a few makeup products and wanted to share with you all my makeup routine as of October 2016! Since I have posted makeup routines before but never posted which makeup brushes I use, I also wanted to incorporate that as well into this post. So, here is my makeup routine as of October 2016! Brushes: Foundation brushes: BareMinerals Precision Face brush and Tarte Powder Player Bamboo Pressed Powder brush Foundation/finishing powder brush: Bareminerals Full Flawless Face brush Bronzer brush: Sephora brand Multitasker Complexion bronzer brush Concealer brush: Sephora brand Perfecting Concealer concealer brush Makeup Products: BareMinerals Original Foundation in shade golden medium - I switched to this foundation recently over the summer, and I love it. One light layer of this foundation provides great coverage, and stays on for more than 12 hours a day. It also provides SPF 15, which is great, as it provides me with sun protection.

I have some great news that I am sure will make everyone excited: Halloween is in three days!! Everyone views holidays differently, and although Halloween is not my favorite holiday, I still love when the month of October rolls around! Everyone has been breaking out the Halloween decorations since the beginning of the month, and it has just intensified as the month went on. Now, as we are three days out from this fantastic holiday, I hope everyone is excited! When I grew up, my parents and my brother and I would always decorate our house and have the biggest bag of Halloween candy for the cute little trick or treaters that would come to our door nonstop on Halloween. We lived in a kid-friendly neighborhood, and had consistent trick or treaters year after year. However, since I moved to a different part of the Bay Area, we haven't had trick or treaters since more adults live there and not as many kids. However, we do have new neighbors who have little kids, so maybe we will be get...

Over the summer I had lots of free time on my hands, leaving me to discover new shows on Netflix. I have been told by so many friends as well as family that I should watch certain shows, which left me with a very long list of to watch shows and shows to catch up on. Because of this, I wanted to make a list of shows that are my own personal favorites, as well as shows I haven't seen myself but that I know people are loving. 1. Grey's Anatomy - This show is currently my favorite one. I started it over the summer and have been hooked since the first episode. I am currently on season 6, and I am still obsessed. This show takes place in a hospital, showcasing the lives of many doctors and their work life as well as their personal ones. The show makes you feel every emotion; after every episode I am filled with sadness, joy, surprise, shock, etc. Although there are 12 seasons currently on Netflix with a 13th season airing right now, I am positive anyone who watches this show will b...
