June Favorites!

It's finally starting to feel like summer here in Colorado and I hate it. Don't get me wrong -- I love warmer weather but what I don't love is sweating and having my hair and makeup ruined in just a short 15 minute walk. Comes with the season I suppose! All that being said, June really flew by. I got my first job after graduation and I'm excited to see what's in store for the rest of the year! The end of the month can only mean one thing...monthly favorites! And trust me this month I have some good ones.

June Favorites

Beauty Favorites

Too Faced Better than Sex Mascara ($23) -- This mascara is God sent. It makes my lashes look long, thick, and luscious without clumping or smearing all over my eye. The brush is unique in that it is thick on the ends and slimmer in the middle, almost an hourglass shape. This gives it the ability to hit your lashes at all the right angles and make them pop. The name says it all and I will definitely repurchase this once I'm all out! Purchase here.

butter LONDON Nail Polish in Cotton Buds ($15) -- White nails are all the rage this summer and this nail polish is perfect! Since I was in middle school I have been looking for a nice opaque white but I felt like everything I bought was too sheer. Low and behold I find this one at Sephora and fell in love! You only need two coats to make your nails white and chic. Buy yours here.

Food Favorites

Yoplait Light Watermelon Yogurt -- Honestly, this yogurt takes like summer. Watermelon is my favorite flavor for anything (ironically I hate the actual fruit) and this yogurt holds up to all my standards. It's only 100 calories and is the perfect cool treat on a hot day. Be on the look out, though, because it's only for a limited time!

Gyros -- There is a wonderful Polish woman who owns a street cart right outside my job downtown and I swear to God she makes the best gyro of your life. It's so simple -- gyro meat, feta, tzatziki sauce, tomatoes, red onion, lettuce -- but it's so FREAKING GOOD! And the kicker? She only charges $5 a sandwich. I want her to adopt me.

Shopping Favorites

Etsy -- I have been on an Etsy-kick lately and I'm just falling in love with all the little shops. I bought a gorgeous bewitched crystal necklace in May and loved how sweet and personal the owner was. Then my mother ordered an American flag sweater and the owner of that shop was also so sweet and included a personalized thank you note and free pair of earrings (shout-out to thehartcollection)! If you're in the market for a thoughtful gift for someone close to you, I suggest you browse Etsy first (and you will most likely be on there for hours).

Music Favorites

Feeling Myself by Nicki Minaj ft. Beyoncé -- Could Nicki and Bey ever do wrong? I've been playing this song on repeat ever since the music video came out. These women are so badass that you can't help but feel like a tough bitch while listening. If I was ever a professional MLB player this would HANDS DOWN be my walk-out song...aside from N*Sync. Listen here.
