Obsessed: Sseko Sandals

I've had my eye on these sandals for the longest time, and this past weekend I finally got them! I picked up a pair of Sseko Design Ribbon Sandals in the Beige leather base with Casablanca Silk ribbons as well as red cotton ribbons. These sandals are the perfect shoes for summer; not only are they super cute and comfortable, but super versatile! There are so many different colors of laces with varying fabrications, and they really can work for any occasion. Plus when you buy Sseko sandals, you are supporting women in Uganda pursue their education and thus a bright future. These playful sandals are truly fashionable for a cause.

Everyday Essentials: Mascara

For the longest time, I didn't understand women's obsession with mascara. I hardly ever wore it; I was more of a lip gloss kind of girl. Then in the middle of my junior year of high school, curiousity drove me to steal my mom's pink and green tube of that lash paint. And one I put it on, I became a mascara advocate. It's a makeup product that can make such a difference on it's on! It draws attention to your eyes and brightens up your whole face. How could you say no to that? So, ever since then, I've been trying out different types of mascara every couple of months. And just recently I've found my favorite mascara EVER. I wasn't even shopping for mascara at the time, just bronzer, but I saw the shiny tube and read the description and decided to buy it too! It's Boots No. 7 Fanomenal Lashes. The brush is designed with short rubber spikes that allow so much more product to coat the lashes than normal bristle brushes. This mascara lengthens my lashes in such a glamorous and beautiful way; they get perfectly long and separated with the right amount of volume with just a few coats. If you're going for a more dramatic look, but in the most appropriate way for everyday wear, I highly recommend this product.

Be(YOU)tiful

I'm a self-proclaimed beauty junkie; buying new lipstick or mascara gives me such a sense of satisfaction and excitement. And you know why? These products make me feel beautiful. I believe that when you spend a little extra time getting ready, no matter what for, your day gets 10x better. Maybe it's wearing your favorite lipgloss, putting on some mascara, or straightening your hair, all these little things can make a huge impact on your day and positively affect your outlook. When you look good, you feel good. And when you feel good, you're happier. I'm fairly certain it's scientifically proven. My point is, when I dress in an outfit I love and put a little makeup, I feel so much more confident In myself. When I feel like that, I feel like I'm ready to take on the world. And don't care about what others think. Dress up for class, put on makeup before you go out in public, curl your hair for a night out, flaunt what you got! It's your life and you deserve to feel beautiful.
