Clean and Clear Bust A Move Contest

Hey guys! In my free time lately, I have been making up a dance with my friends for a cool contest. It's called Clean&Clear Bust A Move. If you submit a video of you and your best friends doing a dance, you might win a trip to dance at Teen Vogue's Fashion U! For all the details and rules, check out  facebook.com/cleanandclear <http://facebook.com/cleanandclear
It's a cool opportunity that I'm really excited about. Will you be entering this contest?

Hiatus is over!

Hey guys!
I know it has been a few months since I've posted anything. Sorry! The past few months have been filled with nothing but schoolwork and sleep. Luckily, since Spring Break is coming up, my schedule is starting to slow down. In the last week I have turned in three papers, taken two tests and five quizzes, and completed a project. Whew! I am so glad that is all over. Now, I can focus on the things I love: fashion and beauty. Since it's been so long since I've posted anything, I will give you a quick update about what's been going on. I have found some amazing products that I'm excited to tell you about. Also, I cannot wait to start posting pictures of spring and summer trends. I also want to begin posting once or twice a week about what is on my inspiration board at the moment. I'm really excited about the warm weather that is coming and can't wait to hear what you'll be wearing/trying in the coming months. Feel free to always email me with questions/comments/suggestions/etc.
I know this a short post, but I just wanted to let you know that I am going to begin posting again and can't wait to do my next real post! In the mean time, here is just a quick summary of what I'm loving at the moment!
Favorite Spring trend: 70s styles (flared pants, cropped shirts, dolman sleeves-- Love it all!)
Favorite eye shadow: A pink out of a Lancome palette I have. I'm not sure the exact name, but it is a light pink that is somewhat pearly. It makes me feel happier when I put it on in the morning.
Favorite face wash: Clean and Clear Morning Burst Skin Brightening Facial Cleanser makes my skin look radiant! I use it every morning.
Favorite brand for Spring: Joie has the cutest prints (I personally love their flowy tanks with small elephants printed on them) and colors (they are so spot on!). I also love Rebecca Taylor's dresses. The fits are perfect and the colors/prints could't be better for spring.
Must have item for Spring: Going along with the 70s style, I bought a cropped sweater from Urban Outfitters and have worn it sooo much. It is incredibly versatile. I wore it to my friends house with a tank and jeans, then out to dinner that night with my parents over a black dress. It would look so cute over a bathing suit at the beach, or even with your favorite pajama pants.
Favorite TV show: Vampire Diaries... so much drama!
Favorite dessert: So hard... I would have to say the gluten free Red Velvet cupcakes from Sprinkles. My friend and I just finished a project for our English class where we had to bake a cake for all the characters in the book, and I have to say that it has turned out fantastical! All the cakes look scrumptious and I can't wait to present it tomorrow.
On my inspiration board: a Chanel ad for mascara (the models have such beautiful eyes!), some pages from the most recent Teen Vogue, paper that a friend wrapped my bday present in, a tissue paper flower,  etc! There is a bunch of random stuff. I will have to post a picture some other time.
I would love to have y'all fill in your favorites/must haves in the comment section below.
XO,
Grace
