Hey y'all! It has been forever and a day since I have posted on my blog. I have missed it so much and hopefully I can get back into the swing of things soon! Since it is almost the holiday's (insert my happy dance here!) I wanted to get a few posts up.  As I am typing this, I am currently sitting with a warm blanket around me, sipping hot chocolate on this windy blizzard afternoon. Seriously we are getting dumped on with snow... I am in pure bliss at this moment :)  (Elf is my favorite Christmas movie! Well along side Christmas Vacation of course :p)  I just love the holiday season! So many happy memories full of laughter and joy! Thank you Jesus! Any who, another thing that I wanted to share with you guys is that  I AM DOING BLOGMAS!! I am going to try my very best and participate in blogmas this year.

Hi my dear friends. I thought it would be fun to do another post on makeup! I know that I love makeup and others may or may not feel the same way. If you don't really like makeup or get into makeup that is totally okay! I also do not like things. We all are different and that is way makes us unique :) I previously did a OBB Vol I You can check that out  here  . I chose to do NYX Cosmetics and this time I didn't choose a drugstore brand. This time I chose LORAC Cosmetics. Let's begin! My favorite product from LORAC is their eyeshadows!! So creamy and intensely pigmented!! I LOVE!! Some of my favorite from the LORAC PRO palette are Taupe, Gold, Champagne, Nude, and Espresso :) Another favorite from LORAC is the POREfessional concealor! This concealor is a multi-purpose concealor, meaning it can cover up zits, redness, fine lines, dark circles, and highlight. Love love love love this stuff. Next is Lipstick! I recently discovered the LORAC lips

Happy Easter to you all!!! If you celebrate Easter or not, this is still a good to be around friends and family. I am a proud Christian and today is the greatest day. :) Have a very blessed day.   Galatians 1:4 Grace t o you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,  who gave Himself for our sins so that He might rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,   to whom be the glory forevermore. Amen. XO SCD contactsoutherncity@gmail.com

Hello my loves!!  I hope you are all doing well. Since Easter is only in a few short days, I thought I would share so dresses that you can wear for Easter or just cute Spring/Summer dresses. I love these dresses and they are super versatile for either dressing up or down as well as accessorizing. I also know that not everyone can afford to spend $200 on a dress. So I picked out a few affordable ones and a couple more expensive ones.  Floral Print Dress   I love this dress. Really pretty pastels, and bright colors for either spring or summer. I also love the cut of this dress. I will defiantly be buying and wearing this dress. It is also great for ages 16-25. Illusion White Dress Again, I am loving this brand Trixxi. This dress is classic white which I LOVE! With some accessories and this dress, ahhh love. Perfect price for this great dress. High Neck Maxi Dress This maxi dress comes in three other colors as well. It is around the same price ra

Travel Tuesday is back! But wait... it is not Tuesday. I decided I wanted to get this post out right away instead of waiting tell Tuesday. I hope this all makes sense, if not well the gist of it is I am just gonna talk about the place I want to travel to next. Let's begin with... BARCELONA, SPAIN I have wanted to go to Barcelona for years now. I have finally added it to the bucket list. There are so many things to see and do :) First and fore most, I have always wanted to be Cheetah Girl and when there was a movie filmed in Barcelona. I have just wanted to go and be just like them. Yes...lame I know. A girl can dream right?:)  I want to recreate this picture someday :O Anyways, not only do I want to go to Barcelona because of the Cheetah Girls, I want to experience the amazing culture and foods that come with the city and country.  Everything looks so vibrant and so full of life. I cannot wait to plan my trip to Spain.

I feel like I haven't done a beauty review in a while. So today is the day I am doing another one. Today's review is on the new  L'Oreal Lumi Cushion Foundation This is a newer product that seems to just hit the drugstore's this past month. The price at Ulta is $16.99 You can find it cheaper at Target, Walmart, CVS, and Walgreen's I have checked ;) As for the foundation in its self, this is a very high quality foundation. Which I love. It is blendable, very lightweight, easy to use, and this product gives you a flawless finish. All things I love when buying a foundation.  This is a more expensive product but it totally lived up to the price and it is great quality. This almost looks and feels like a high end product.  Possible dupe alert! I would recommend this to anyone who has normal to dry skin. You can try this if you are oily but it is not recommended since this does give you a dewy/glowy finish.  The color I picked up was W

I have decided that I want to transform my blog into something more personal. I love blogging and want to continue to for a long time. That being said, I need to update my blog into something that I love.  This blog will be going under construction Spring 2016.

I cannot wait to see what the future holds :) XO SCD contactsoutherncity@gmail.com

Happy New Year! It's 2016! It has been a while since I posted on my blog. I miss it. Life just has a way of getting away from you. I cannot believe time just flies by when you are not a kid anymore. I wanted to say happy new year and I hope you make the most out of a fresh start. Do you have any New Years Resolutions?!? If you are looking for inspiration look at mine! It doesn't matter if there is one or a thousand and it does not matter when you start. Stick with it! 2016 New Year Resolutions 1. Travel frequently...  This year I want to expand my horizons and travel! Does not matter if its in the United States or another country. I think this will be a resolution for many years to come. 2. Take advantage of family time... I love and adore my family but sometimes technology and society can take me away from what is important. We don't live forever so might as well make the most of the time we have. 3. Take multiple technology detox's...
