#TheWinterProject: Favorite Winter Scent

Hello my beauty winter bunnies (: today is going to be another installment of #thewinterproject (: and I am really excited about this one because it is going to be about my favorite winter scents and even though I do not have very many I love them a lot! (:

If you have any questions or you want to be a part of #thewinterproject check out this post by Bold95Beauty (:

So lets get on with the post! (:

Now I do not know if this is a winter scent but I absolutely love the scent of vanilla. I think it is so calming and soothing and to be completely honest it reminds me of cookies (: and I love cookies.

Okay guys, here comes another weird scent. I really love the smell of pine. Since I never had a real Christmas tree when I was little I used to go over to my cousin's house and they always had a huge Christmas tree and I remember it smelled so good (: so pine is one of my favorite scents for the winter.

Okay guys I can't be the only one who loves the smell of eggnog especially in the winter since that is the only time it is available (: Even though it makes me hungry the smell of eggnog always makes me feel really safe and a home, I'm not sure why.

Okay guys that is it for this post! (:

#TheWinterProject: Favorite Winter Accessory

Hello beauty lovers! I am back with yet another installment of #TheWinterProject which is being coordinated by Bold95Beauty and if you would like to participate in this series please take a look at this post on her blog! (:

So this weeks post is going to be about my favorite winter accessory. This post was not too hard for me to do because I do not have many accessories that I wear, especially in the winter. So I decided to showcase the two that I really could not live without (:

Number 1: My pink beanie

So those of you that read my blog know that I am really big on hair especially curly hair and keeping it healthy and protected. So what I love about this beanie is that it keeps my head warm of course but it can also serve and a way to keep my hair protected from the harsh weather in the winter

Also I tend to have bad hair days every once in a while and I find that throwing my hair into a messy braid and slapping on my beanie makes me feel not so ratchet (:

Sometimes I will also tuck all of my hair into the beanie and bobby pin it to my head so that it does not fall off and it keeps my hair from being exposed to the weather.

So overall my beanie is very versatile and very necessary to my life because if I did not have it I'm pretty sure I would die (:

Number two: My scarf

So these accessories may seem like really basic winter items but they really are important to me

So this is my big black and grey scarf that I wear pretty much everyday in the winter since it gets ridiculously cold and I have a very low iron count apparently. Also in this picture is my boyfriend the photo bomber -_- hehe

What I like about this scarf is that it so big and it makes it really versatile. I can pretty much wear this scarf however I want I can even turn it into a cute skirt if I want to (:

Well guys that is it for this post (: I hope you guys enjoyed reading it and seeing my dork boyfriend (:

What accessories do you guys rock in the winter? (: Let me know in the comments!

Be safe and I will see you in my next post! (:

#TheWinterProject: Favorite Winter Nail Polish

Hello friends! I am back with yet another post but this one is going to be a bit different because it is a part of #TheWinterProject! (: I am really excited about this post and I cannot wait for you guys to see all the great things that I have in store! (:

So if you want to be a part of #TheWinterProject just check out this post here by Bold95Beauty (:

So lets get started with my favorite winter nail polish (:

First of all I want to apologize for the lack of lighting that I have in this next photo -_- I am working on getting my lights fixed (:

Second of all I am not a big nail polish girl so for this post I only have one nail polish to show you guys but it is my absolute favorite for this time of the year because there are so many holidays coming up so for me red is a really appropriate color

So my favorite red is from Kleancolor

It is a very vibrant red and it does not have any shimmer which I usually am not drawn to but I like the fact that it does not have shimmer

Of course I love the fact that this is a solid red color but I also like that I do not have to pile it on in order for the color to show. I really only need one coat with this polish and I am good to go for about a week!

It does not ship and that it really important to me especially around the holidays when I do not really have time to worry about my nails because I am too busy running around trying to get my life together.

Now you all get to see my awful painting skills (:

Okay I know it looks really bad but look at that color! That is one coat you guys! (: This is why I love this nail polish and it is the exact shade of red that I love on my nails.

Okay guys that is it for this first post of #TheWinterProject!

Be safe and I will see yo guys in my next post!
