February Favorites

February is just about over! Where does the time go? I want apologize for not having a super cute Valentine's Day post. I thought I had an idea but really I had a bunch of small ideas so it never came together properly. But I'm back and I thought I would share some of my favorite products, food, music, etc. from the past month.  ~First, I'll start with one of the best smelling lotions out there- Beautiful Day from Bath and Body Works. The scent is described as "a lively blend of sun kissed apple, sparkling cassis and wild daisies brightened by fresh pink peony and creamy musk," on the back of the bottle. My question is, who's job is it to describe these smells?! Seems like a difficult task.  ~I've been wearing this 'Rapid Ruby' red color from Rimmel most of the month now.

This is one of the better science classes I've taken in a really long time and we have only just started with our first topic on light! Every two weeks or so, my teacher gives us one word that we have to journal about. There are no limits to what you can write about which is really cool in my opinion and something you wouldn't expect to be doing in a science class. Being the blogger that I am, I knew that I would have to try to make a blog post also relating to the word that I would have to write about out. Luminous is actually the second word in the journal assignment (I'm still working on photos for the first). The word luminous has a really mysterious but magical sound to it. I tend to envision a candle casting a soft glow around a room, nothing to harsh. So when I saw these lights one night walking around ca
