To be a Hepburn in a Hilton World...

Since I have been at Syracuse I have grown a vendetta against men, cliche I know. I know I shouldn't be that harsh, because it is probably just Syracuse men I have a problem with, particularly frat boys. This only accounts for 33% of the university, but still I find myself not just hating them but hating them all. I feel like my night life is a broken record, the same routine every night. Get ready, think I look hot, then simply get ignored when we go out. Why does this happen?! Well because I am simply classy. I refuse to dress like a hooker and then act like a hot mess, throwing myself on every man in site. Hence my problem, I am a Hepburn in a Hilton world.

Unfortunately this behavior is becoming more and more common and even acceptable in society. What happened to class ladies?? You can still be cute without whoring yourself out, and besides most guys won't like you for your personality but rather your body and or sex. Don't you want a guy to like you for who you are and be infatuated with your quirks and personality? I don't know maybe I am crazy. I was recently appalled by the GQ spread of Lea Michelle.

How do you go from this...

                 To this....

Honestly Lea Michelle you don't need to sex yourself up to be beautiful. I looked up to you before and now I just think you are as insecure as everyone else. What on earth is the world coming to? Can't we just respect ourselves and our bodies?

Donde Estoy!?!

Okay, I know, I am horrible. It has been around three, yes three, months since I have blogged. Why so long? Well as you may know I am a very studious college student and spend all my time now doing homework and studying...okay I am lying. In reality I have been lazy, because lately in my free time I have been watching Nip/Tuck marathons and conducting online window shopping late into the night. As much fun as online window shopping is I am quite bored with it, so I decided to put my energy back into this blog. I promise it will be new and improved! No longer will I be commenting on fashion, but now I will be talking about restaurants, good exercises, healthy food, college life, sorority life, and really anything I feel like telling you guys about! Yay! So I was trying to figure out what to talk about after my hiatus and I decided to actually do a review of this new cleanser I got.



So I don't think I have talked about this but I have very sensitive skin. Every single facial cleanser I have used has caused me to break out more, so for awhile I gave up on using anything to clean my face. I know horrible right? Well since I got back to school my face has erupted into a black head forest, gross. So I started searching and looking at reviews for different natural, ultra-sensitive facial cleansers. I cannot tell you how many products I looked at and reviews I read, but I still wasn't totally convinced on anything.

Well, a brand new Sephora opened at the Syracuse mall. Yay! So I obviously had to go opening day, thinking I was going to get free samples, which I didn't, and am still quite bitter about. But anyway, the nice ladies at Sephora probably thought I was stealing something, so they came up to me and I told them of my predicament. The lady kindly directed me to the skin expert who knew exactly what I needed, Fresh Soy Facial Cleanser. She told me to get the travel size and if I didn't like it I could get a full refund. Needless to say the first time I used it, it left my skin so soft and clean it was like I was a new person.

Honestly I think because I hadn't used a cleanser in so long, that my face actually forgot what it feels like to be clean! This cleanser is soft, gentle, and smells like cucumbers when you use it :). It is packed with tons of good stuff like, soy proteins which contain amino acids and antioxidants, which help to tone, soothe, and reduce dryness.

I have been using this product since Friday and I am already seeing results! I could not be more happy. I am so happy in fact that I am going to get the lotion as well! So if you have light, sensitive skin as I do, seriously buy this product now. You can thank me later :). On the down side it does cost around $38 for the 5 oz. size, but I am telling you it is worth it.

Sephora actually has this great deal on Fresh Soy Line. It is a set complete with the cleanser, face cream, exfoliate, and serum all for only $38! Can you say stocking stuffer? I know that is what I will be asking for :).
