Best of Beauty - People's Choice Awards

We all love the award shows, whether it be the more casual People's Choice Awards or the more formal event, the Oscars. 

The fashion and beauty at the events are always highly talked about and with good reason. As much as I adore seeing the beautifully adorned gowns and gorgeous bold makeup looks from the Oscars red carpet the People's Choice awards are more laid back with more subtle looks although the fashion certainly is still daring.
As much as I love fashion I wanted to focus on my favorite looks of the night.
The first being the lovely Blake Lively. Anyone who knows me knows that I have a serious crush on this woman, she is stunningly beautiful. Not to mention she played my favorite character on Gossip Girl. Simple brown smokey eyes with a natural lip, simple yet fairly effective and boy is she tanned.

Of course we couldn't miss J.Lo. Again, a brown smokey eye but unlike Blake Jennifer Lopez has a more defined eye with the use of a black liner. I love how her lower lash line is smoked out with the brown. Nude lips seemed to be a running theme on a majority of the looks, but hey there's nothing wrong with that. Maybe they're saving the bold intense reds for the Oscars.

Ruby Rose, wow. 

I think her makeup was by far my favorite from the night.

I'm a total sucker for bold lips, even in my day to day I'll wear the darkest red I own as I just love the look of it and this berry color she is wearing is completely vamp and it's stunning on her.

Again, brown on the eyes with black liner (most eye looks were very similar I noticed)  The dark statement lip and bold brows really set Ruby apart from the others and she rocked it.

There you have it my top three looks from the night, Ruby Rose wowed me, I can't get over how perfect she looks.

Who's beauty look held your heart?

Throwback Thursday: Collection

Raise your hand if you had some sort of collection as a child.

If you couldn't tell from the above photo, I was OBSESSED with Beanie Babies.

Seeing as it is Thursday I thought I'd do a throwback post and boy this is more of a throwback for me then you may realize. 

Beanie Babies were all the rage when I was younger. Every one I knew had at least ten of these fun little guys if not more. I was on an entire different level of obsessed, these weren't toys for me these were a collectors item. I'm not kidding you guys by the time I was fourteen years old I must have had at least a hundred. I know there was bigger collections out there but every cent from my allowance money over my childhood years was spent on Beanie Babies and I displayed them proudly all over the shelves of my room. 

No one was allowed to touch or play with them except me and I rarely played with them. I felt like a proud mom with the collection I'd acquired and sad but true I couldn't let go of these until I was twenty for nostalgic reasons, you know? 

Does anyone happen to know if any of the older Beanie Babies are worth any money now? Boy, will I be upset if they are. 

So there you have it a throwback into my childhood.

Did you collect anything as a child? What was it?

Bucket List 2017

This isn't a resolutions post for 2017 but more of a bucket list. Thing's I'd like to do and see in 2017.

2016 for me wasn't an exciting year by any means nor did I do or accomplish anything extravagant. I want this year to be different I'm sad of watching my life pass my eyes in my day to day. I work, come home and the cycle repeats, it's fairly boring. In 2017 I'm aiming to make much more of my days off. Instead of sitting on the couch I want to go out and create adventures, explore (maybe not the world) but even the areas around my own home. So here we go...my bucket list for 2017;

Go camping more this summer 

Road trip across Canada - I've done this as I have family in Ontario but I've never took the time to stop and see the different hot spots throughout the provinces.

Find a new job - I'm content where I am but I'd like to find something where I can grow with the company and I unfortunately don't see that happening where I am

Volunteer - either at a pet shelter or a homeless shelter. (I'm not sure I could handle my emotions working at the animal shelter however)

Buy a camera - For blogging purposes, I'm not happy using my phone but at the moment it's all my finances will allow.

Go see a musical - I truly love musicals and would love to go see one this year.

Learn snowboarding - For years now I've wanted to learn how to snowboard, mostly because when I'm older if I injure myself I won't be able to recuperate as fast.

Skydive - I'll be honest guys...I don't know if this will get accomplished but I'd like to think I'd be brave enough to jump out of a plane.

So there you have it, some of my bucket list items for the year. I feel like most of these are in reach for me I just need to put the effort in.

What about you guys, is there anything you want to do in 2017?
