It's now the time of the year where if you walk around wearing shorts and a tee shirt people will think you are crazy. The fact is, you actually are. Here are a few trends for the colder weather:
1) Super cute character beanies! (Hello Kitty!)
2) UGG Boots!
3) Hot red peacoats!
4) Hand warmers!
5) Justin Biebers' new single, Mistletoe.
So, this fall/winter if you're trying to stay warm (or entertained) just pick up these 5 items and rock them, or if you buy item #5, dance to it, sing it to your significant other, or just completely ignore it all together. Hope you guys have a happy holiday this Thanksgiving!

UC Davis protestors that ignore the fact that cops ask them to leave or they'll be arrested and then when they're pepper-sprayed and arrested they complain and whine to their rich parents. Then, they get lawyers involved who seem to have the equivalent IQ of a five year old. Those kids get a good quality education that my parents would never get the money to get me. So, those kids need to get to class, stop complaining, and realize they are getting nothing done my violently protesting. And yes, these protests have become violent even if they say it is a 'peaceful protest.' Last time I checked, it isn't very peaceful throwing bottles at cops heads or damaging any innocent buisnesses that may be in the path of the protestors destructive natures. Maybe it's just me feeling this way, but I highly doubt it.
Peace, Love, And More Peace, Sarah. Xx.
This past week I finally painted my nails after months of not painting my nails at all. The thing is I am way too hard on my nails, cleaning, showering daily, and picking them when bored. So, I rarely paint my nails and there's no point in paying to have them done when they're ruined in a few days. I decided to look at a few nail trends and share my feelings about them.
1) Different Colored Nails.
I love this trend! This is one of my personal favorites, my nails are actually painted like this: green, white, green, white, green. Love them like this.
2) Long Nails.
I don't mind long nails, but when it gets excessive, it's crazy. Not only can long nails be a pain, stabbing people with them, not being able to do certain things. Not too long, and you'll be fine.
3) Pointed Nails.
Pointed nails can be cool if you're in costume. In reality however, it looks like you have claws. I personally would not wear these but they can be cool.
4) Character Nails.
Character nails are the funnest type of nails you can have! I love character nails! I think they're fun, quirky, and have a lot of personality!
To A Very Happy Weekend, Sarah. Xx.
Being a teenager, I'm prone to acne and so are a lot of people I know, even if they aren't teenagers. I've shelled out tons of money to different sets of facial cleanser systems and they haven't accomplished the results I was expecting. So, I decided to do a little research and find a natural, cheap mask. Thus, I cam upon a mask that has done wonders for my skin. It's the baking soda mask. It's quick, easy, cheap, and produces good results! To be honest, I was a little sketchy about but after a few days and a handful of compliments on a difference in my skin later, I've decided to stick to this mask.
These are the ingredients you need:
A spoonful of baking soda.
Water.
Pour the spoonful of baking soda into a bowl (I use a condiment dish, it's the perfect size) and then pour in enough water just to cover the baking soda. Then mix lightly until it turns into a type of paste.
Then wet your face and apply the paste in a circular motion. Then rinse off.
TIP: Make sure you rinse well or else the mask will make your skin really dry.
To Clear and Smooth Skin, Sarah. Xx.
I've been meaning to make this blog within the past few days but first I needed to get all my fall favorites together! Fall is definitely one of my favorite times of year. When it's fall you get to break out your favorite cozy sweater, warm blankets, and hot chocolate. What's better than sitting home when it's raining outside, drinking hot chocolate and reading a good book? Ideal situation. So, to toast to fall I created a fall favorites list. Enjoy! :)
I love all of these things even if it isn't fall, but there's something about fall that makes all of these wonderful items even more magical.
What are your fall favorites?
With the magic of fall, Sarah. Xx.
I don't know if you guys do this, but everyday until Friday, I think exactly what the zebra and giraffe are thinking in this photo. I hope you guys had a great week with lots of love and accomplishments. I hope the weekend is even better for you. Rest while you have the time because Thanksgiving is quickly approaching. We all know what that means, wake up early to start cooking, multitasking times a million, and trying to get your turkey to taste the best. Well, that's not how mine is going to be, another family invited us over and they're cooking everything. Call me wise for accepting...I know. I know how to work the system. Ha. Happy Friday!
Ingredients
Serves 8.
- 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 8 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced
Directions
- Melt butter in a sauce pan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add white sugar, brown sugar and water; bring to a boil. Reduce temperature, and simmer 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the bottom crust in your pan. Fill with apples, mounded slightly. Cover with a lattice work crust. Gently pour the sugar and butter liquid over the crust. Pour slowly so that it does not run off.
- Bake 15 minutes at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes.
And came up with a great idea. Everyday I'm a little iffy on what exactly to write about so I came up with a form of a schedule. Organiazation and structure is good, so I though this was a really good idea. Hopefully my readers think it is as well! Here goes:
Monday Meltdowns - A day to talk about an event going on in the world, whether it be politics, fashion, etc. Basically just my opinion on something that is currently happening.
Tuesday Trends - I will share some of the newest and hottest of the trends in makeup, fashion, hairstyles, home decoration, etc.
Wednesday Wears - A set up of (How To:) or a collection of fashion/makeup.
Thursday Toppings - Thursdays will be a recipe sharing day!
Friday Funnies - A day that will enlighten your heart and make you smile. I might share a joke, a funny photo, or maybe even a funny story of my own. =)
Saturday & Sunday Surprises - Just little random notes, thoughts, or extra baggage from the week. (Ex. I might have an extra recipe to share, or maybe a funny story)
So, I hope you all like that idea. It would be easier for me to plan and thoroughly create a good blog post. Today we start with Thursday Toppings! (You guys have been bombarded with a lot of recipes this week already! Sorry!)
Schedules, Surprises, Sorry, Sarah. Xx.
Pretty In Pink! by sarahisofficial featuring
Light pink is easily one of my favorite colors in makeup and clothing. Something about the light, airiness of it just looks so pretty. Whether it's on your dress, or your lips, or maybe even as your blush, it's just so pretty! It's not overwhelming, and gives just the right amount of color. Above are a few examples of how to wear light pink.
Pink, Pink, and More Pink, Sarah. Xx.
All of us girls have our own obsessions over things, one of my obsessions is makeup. I love home makeup can empower you. It can make you shine inside and out. Makeup for winter, spring, summer, and fall are all different. In spring/summer your makeup may be a little more bright and colorful, while fall/winter makeup may be a bit more toned down. I personally go for more neutral colors during the winter. I live by the colors grey, brown, and silver. And for my lips, chapstick is a must! My lips dry and crack easy, so that is not fun! I have however seen girls walking around in the middle of winter with firehouse red lips and darkly lined eyelids. With a black peacoat, that look is hot, I must admit. But let's be honest, how many people are able to pull that off in the middle of December? Not me! Hahaha. I can barely get myself to roll out of bed to even get dressed let alone pile on makeup, ha. So here are a few looks for winter makeup. First, the light coloring. Second, the edgier look.
