I decided to finally wear this kimono after buying it just for the purpose of working to pull it off, and I’m kinda pretty proud. Like, I think I did a good job.

When wearing such a statement piece like this, you need to make everything else more minimalistic, otherwise it can be a total overload. That’s why I stuck to a neutral, but flattering, black tank and a pair of high-waisted shorts. I also kept my makeup more minimalistic, and only wore a small amount of jewelry, which consisted of my favorite watch from Target ($10 guys… it’s amazing)!

The first thing that attracted me to this kimono was the pattern. I’m very much in love with bold colors and designs, and it incorporates non-Earthy tones with some more rustic shades very easily. I also really liked the slits on the sides; they just add a little bit more to the garment.

I’ve been seeing a lot of these kinds of coverups, whether they are light and thin or more weighted, the kimono is definitely making a rightful comeback.

Thanks for reading, and stay tuned every Tuesday and Thursday for videos, and then every Friday for anything fashion! Until next time…

Review of Simple Micellar Water! | Total Tuesday

Hello Beauties!

Since every other beauty blogger has been reviewing Simple Skincare’s Micellar Water, so why not go with the herd and test it out? This is also the second part of my favorite water-based skincare products review. If you want to watch see more of the review click here or go to my channel to see part 1 and part 2. Enjoy!

I would classify this cleanser/makeup remover/moisturizing solution as a drugstore dupe of a lot of the other micellar waters out there. This incredible water from the Heavens first originated in Europe where it was popularized by French models. Now, if I had any way of getting model-esque skin I would jump at the chance, but I was apprehensive about dropping a couple of 20s for it (that is 20 dollar bills btw). That’s when I saw that Simple Skincare put out their own micellar water and it is available in the U.S. And that’s where we are at right now!

I hope that you guys liked these past couple videos on these products! Stay tuned for more videos every Tuesday and Thursday, and a more detailed post every Friday! Until next time…

Review of Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream | Total Tuesday

Posted on May 19, 2015 Posted in Beauty, Youtube VideosTagged Beauty, Gel, Health, Moisturizer, Neutrogena, products, QWERTY blog, Review, Skincare, Skincare Products, Water, Youtube videoLeave a comment

Hello Beauties!

Neutrogena’s new moisturizer has been making huge headlines lately as the latest and best drugstore gel moisturizer, and I wanted to see what the hype was all about. What makes this product different is that it’s water-based, meaning that it sinks in and works incredibly fast! The only high-end comparison I can think of is Clinique’s Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief, which is around $38. This clever dupe is only $17, and I personally feel that it works better! Obviously all the hype was no lie, but you can watch the video to learn more about this favorite product of mine!

I hope that you guys liked this video and the new design of this blog! Tune in for new videos Tuesday and Thursday, as well as a really fun Fashion Friday post this week! Until next time…

My April Favorites!

Hello Beauties!

The first fav of the past month is this Bath and Body Works Cranberry Pear Bellini candle. I have it at my desk so I can easily light it without getting up. The con to that is that there is a high fire risk. It also just makes me feel so grown up! I mean, what is more adult than a well decorated room filled with candles? Nothing! And I know what your all thinking, but get your head out go the gutter. Only candle shopping is for adults…

I’ve currently been “reading” Catch 22 by Joseph Heller. It’s a very thick and slightly confusing book about a man in WWII just trying to go home, but not being able to. It’s very well written, and I promise you that you’ll laugh from the absurdity of the whole thing. It gets weird.

I went shopping a while back *GASP* and bought this really sweet watch from Target. It has a faux leather band and a beautiful face, all for $10! And yes, it actually works! I tend to be one of those people that needs to have one watch that goes with everything, and if it doesn’t then I don’t want it. Thankfully this watch can be so easily dressed up or down, and I keep it in my makeup bag so that I will remember it every morning.

I also picked up this faux leather backpack/purse whilst at Target! It is huge. I mean honestly, it is so very, very huge. I can’t handle how massive it is. It’s like the bag in Mary Poppins; it holds everything. All of the normal contents in my bag take up a fifth of what this can hold.

My next favorite is this very naughty tea mug! Tea mug, is that what they are called? British people, quick, what is it called?! This is my favorite mug and it makes me want to buy more snarky and slightly inappropriate mugs for my own amusement. Where did I get it you ask? Urban Outfitters, where else?

Finally, and most randomly, is the Nutribullet. This thing is amazing. I’m drinking so many smoothies, which are a great way to eat but also not have to waste energy on chewing. I’m a genius. Anyways, this extreme blender thingy is the best thing to ever happen to me, so thank you Nutribullet. You have earned a spot in my April Favorites.

I hope that you guys enjoyed this post, please comment and watch the accompanying YOUTUBE VIDEO HERE!
