When a Song Describes Your Life

source

Just sitting here trying to map out a five year plan, waiting on responses, waiting for results, singing along to my library on shuffle and the lyrics from the Billy Joel classic Vienna hit me:

Slow down you're doing fine  

You can't be everything you want to be before your time

I could go on to quote the entire song, but these were the words that hit me and made me stop, breathe, and center myself.

Alright, this post has come to an end. Just wanted to mark the occasion.

Hope you're having a lovely day!

April Favourites

Hello May! Here's my very first favourite list! They're honestly my favourite (Haha get it? Favourite? Yeah?). So it's a pretty random list but let's dive in!

Beauty Favourites

• Rimmel Gel Liner in 001 Black -- My first gel eyeliner!

• Revlon Parfumerie in Powder Puff & Covergirl Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Polish in Bon Bon (used BonBon as the base and Powder Puff as the top so the opacity was perfect and no chips!)

• Aerie perfume in Hidden Love. I bought this last spring and temporarily lost in behind my dresser. I was in Shoppers Drugmart browsing and smelled Benefit's Laugh With Me Lee Lee and loved it but knew I had one just like it at home -- long story short my dresser was moved and it's been my go-to ever since.
  

Fashion Favourites

• My navy blue Abercrombie & Fitch sweater I bought from Winners

• Black "leather" bucket bag from Ardene

• Mindy Kaling/The Mindy Project/Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?

Favourite Foods

• Cadbury Dairy Milk Caramel Popcorn Chocolate Bar (My new favourite of all chocolates. It's perfection. Seriously. Go eat this. Now. Give me some though. It's polite to share joy).
