"You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it."--Benjamin Mee (We Bought A Zoo)

No. 7 Illuminating Lotion: Before/After
Before
After
As you can see, there isn't a huge difference. However, you can see in the apples of my cheeks and the bridge of my nose that it is a significantly brighter than in the first photo. I like the way that it looks and it's super easy to apply! Normally I use a white matte eye shadow to highlight, but I will definitely be adding this product into my daily makeup routine. For $12.00 I feel like this was a great buy!
Boots No. 7 Illuminating Lotion
Just bought Boots No. 7 High Lights Illuminating Lotion (1oz) for $12.00 at Target! This is the dupe for Benefit High Beam (.45 oz) for $26.00 at Sephora! What a steal! I can't wait to try it out.
Pictures to come :)
Something Great Will Come Of It
As you look over my Blog, you may be thinking to yourself, "What does Twenty Seconds mean?" or "Who the heck is Benjamin Mee?" Well, the confusion stops here. The quote that you see above is my all time FAVORITE quote. It is from the movie "We Bought A Zoo" which is based on a true story about a father (Benjamin Mee) who moves his family to the country side to help re-open a struggling Zoo. There is a scene near the end of the movie where Benjamin's son comes to him asking for relationship advice, and he tells him that if he just has 20 seconds of insane courage, something great will come of it.
Honestly, I was very hesitant while making this blog. The entire time I was thinking, "What If Nobody Reads It?" or "What if nobody thinks I'm funny?" or "What if people think It's boring?" But WHO CARES. I have always struggled with self-confidence, ever since I was a little girl. I care way too much about what people think of me, and I let it effect every decision that I make. Even If I only1 person out of a thousand were to make fun of me, or laugh at me, or think I'm weird for doing something... I would stop myself from doing it. I am not proud of this. I WISH I didn't care about what people thought of me...because I might be able to go to school without makeup every once in awhile, or order a double-double at In-n-Out and not be worried that someone might be judging me!! So I took this quote, and I have used it daily over the past year and let me tell you...it hasn't been easy, but the difference it has made in my life is unbelievable. 20 seconds of bravery is all it takes. I want to challenge everyone who reads this to try it! At LEAST once!
So. Want to know what my blog going to be about? Nothing! This is a random blog where I am going to post stupid pictures of cats getting caught in vacuum's, give fashion advice, talk bad about crazy celebrities, or occasionally chat about my life! And If I only have one reader...awesome. Thanks for reading my blog! Ha!
I've always been horrible at blogging, but I'm giving it another chance.
Here goes nothing!
