Hey everyone! I've decided to tell you my everyday "no makeup" makeup routine. I try to make my makeup look natural on my casual days, like school days and just regular days out. Most products that I use are drugstore makeup products. I tend to not wear makeup on really good skin days, or lazy days. So, high-end makeup brands are not necessary for me. Before I apply my makeup, I put on Clinque's Moisture Surge: Extended Thirst Relief because my skin does get dry, especially in the winter. For my face, I use Revlon's PhotoReady Concealer (I don't usually use this concealer, but because the drugstore did not have my shade for Almay's Clear Complexion Concealer [which is my holy grail concealer] the day that I went to buy more, I bought this instead), Rimmel London's Stay Matte Pressed Powder, and Topshop's Bronzer. I don't use foundation because I don't like the feeling on my face, and I honestly feel like I don't need it. For my eyes, I just use Maybelline's Volume Express Mega Plush Mascara. For my eyebrows, I use Milani's Brow Shaping Clear Gel. Lastly, for lips, I use Maybelline's Baby Lips Electro. In addition, since I had some free time today, I thought, "hey, why don't I just make a video about my makeup routine," and I did! In in the video, I show you how I do my makeup and what makeup products I use. Also, in the video it seems like I put on a lot of concealer, but my skin hasn't been that great lately and I still have some spots. Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Keep Up With Me.
Break, the time to be lazy as heck and do whatever you'd like to do without anything to worry about. Basically, I am describing my break. I am a college (university) student and winter break is a little over a month long. The beginning of break was fun for a bit, then I just became bored and tired. I just need to catch you up with what I have been doing during my break instead of typing up a blog post. Once finals were over, I went Christmas shopping. Yeah, the last minute Christmas shopping. I usually get my shopping done early, but it has been a very stressful semester and I didn't have time because I had to do projects and essays, oh yeah, and studying. Then when I was completely finished, I tried to catch up on all of the YouTube videos that I missed and catch up on some TV shows. It was a lot to do. I also went to the Rockefeller Tree and the big ornaments located at the Avenue of the Americas to take some pictures. Then when my dad's break began, we travelled to Virginia to celebrate the holiday. We did the usual, nothing that exciting. I also got to hang out with a very good friend of mine from high school when I was in Virginia. I got to eat and try different foods during the time that I wast there, like &Pizza, which is a pizza bar where you get to pick and choose your toppings, almost like Chipotle. I also went to the country's capital (Washington, D.C.) for a little bit because my distant cousins' grandpa was visiting and we showed him around and took pictures. On New Year's Eve, I got to wear a flashback outfit. It included a scrunchy, a velvet shirt, and high-waisted jeans (which you can find a photo of the outfit on my Instagram: @sandylepear). When my dad's break was over, we went back to New York. I have been staying and waking up late for the past few weeks. I need to cut that habit since the Spring Semester is approaching. Anyway, that sums up my break!

2014 Recap.
Hello everyone! I am only a day late for posting this. I'd like to do a quick, small recap post about 2014. A lot of things happened to me in 2014, good things, but then there were some bad things. I can tell you that the majority of them were good. Firstly, Fall Out Boy and Paramore announced Monumentour and I got to see them perform. The next thing was that Panic! At The Disco announced The Gospel Tour and I got to see them as well. I have waited about 9 years to see my top favorite bands and the wait was worth it. And then, my obsession of 5 Seconds of Summer grew and I got to see them in person by doing something that I have never thought of doing. I got to travel to Florida and go to Universal Studios in Orlando in the summer. It was really fun. There were times that I got negative minded due to personal reasons, things that annoyed me, and stress from school. That sort of broke my resolution. So for the new year, I am going to make it up and try to think positive a lot more. Well, that pretty much sums up my 2014! I hope 2015 will be so much better.

What Have I Been Up To?
HI! Yes, I am back. It is finally winter break and I have the time to post something. It has been about two months that I have been away from this blog. I didn't really do anything really exciting from my little hiatus. Just the typical, school in the way type of thing. Anyway, I did explore New York City more. Even though I am a born and raised New Yorker, I still needed to explore a lot. I had a project to do and I went to Williamsburg in Brooklyn for the first time and went to Momofuku Milk Bar one day in November. I can tell you that I enjoy their famous cereal milk soft served ice cream. I had it for breakfast that day too. Later that day, I went to Manhattan to celebrate my best friend's birthday and just walked around Lexington Avenue and Central Park. By the evening, I got the try Insomnia Cookies for the very first time and I definitely fell in love. They bake the perfect cookies. Perfect as in, crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside... I am drooling and craving for some of these cookies right now. Another day in November, I did more of my project in East Village in Manhattan. I got to try artichoke and crab pizza from the famous, Artichoke Basille's Pizza. OH MY... it is delicious. Then, during Thanksgiving break, I went to Virginia. I got to try Nando's because it recently opened in a mall nearby. It is definitely one of my favorite restaurants now. It's just amazing. Then I went back to school and did the usual and then I took my finals. I just recently went to take some photos of the famous Christmas-y things in New York City. Oh! I also found my love of spicing up my hot chocolate with whipped cream and pumpkin spice or just chocolate syrup. YUM. I also got creative with nail polish. I've found Hubert's Lemonade at a grocery store nearby as well. That's what I have been up too lately. Not so exciting, but I got to try new things, my favorite things... FOOD.

P-p-p-pumpkins.
Okay, I have been away from this blog for a while and my excuse is... school. In the beginning of the month, my friends and I planned to go pumpkin picking together because we thought it would be a nice hang out. We don't really hang out besides on campus before we have to go to class. It was nice to just have fun and take pictures at a farm near by. I haven't carved pumpkins since I was a little girl, probably about 6 or 7 years old. Yeah, that's a long time ago. With the pumpkin that I picked, I didn't carve it, only because I currently live in an apartment and there's no where to display it. Instead, I decided to make pumpkin puree and bake cookies. Pumpkin cookies are perfect for the fall season and I thought why not? I love baking and cooking and I barely do any of those activities. My cousin was having a birthday party the weekend after, so I waited a week to bake them. I followed a recipe that I've found on Pinterest and all I can say is that the cookies came out delicious! With a nice pumpkin spiced cream cheese frosting, it was amazing. From all of this, I recommend you on finding a perfect sized pumpkin and bake some lovely goodies.

Exploring the Native Land.
It has been a long week and I needed to find a way to escape the stress that I have from school. My best friend, Lizette, and I decided to hang out yesterday and we basically did a little bit of exploring. Where we live, there's a diner that's a few blocks away from the both of us. While growing up in the area, we have never been there. We decided to get lunch there, and it was pretty good. After we were done, we got on the subway and went to 5th avenue. Lizette had to go to Tiffany&Co to purchase a birthday present for her sister. It felt like we were in the fabulous Breakfast at Tiffany's. After that, we decided to go take a stroll in Central Park. We got to see a sea lion while walking pass the zoo. We also sort of had our own personal photo shoot. We usually walk around the same perimeter, but we had a lot of time and decided to find the pond. The both of us have never been to the pond before. Once we got there, I felt like I was entering a fairytale-like getaway. The warm, breezy weather was relaxing and the view was amazing. I enjoy days like this. It's just the time to reevaluate and escape.
