How To | Terrariums

Lately everyone seems to be on this terrarium kick, and I must admit, so have I! They are the cutest things, and there are so many different variations and ways you can present them. Recently I had bought a variety of succulents along with rock, moss and soil to create one of my own. I have been feeling sick all weekend and have not had alot of energy to go out, therefore I thought what better time to do this?

The succulents I had picked up from a greenhouse near my house, but now you can find them in literally any garden centre. I chose 6, as I wanted different shapes, textures and heights. When I was at the greenhouse, they also had a terrarium kit which included the rocks, moss and soil all in one. As this was my first time creating one I opted for the kit. But now knowing how to put everything together I will definitely be buying these things individually to save on cost (although the kit wasn't very expensive).

I found my bowl that I used to house all the plants at Homesense (was about 10 dollars), however I did see smaller ones at Dollarama that are probably just as good. When putting everything together, make sure you put the rocks at the bottom followed by the moss which acts as a filter and finally the soil that you will be putting the succulents in. Make sure the soil is deep enough to cover all the roots. When watering, make sure to water with a spray, as these plants do not need alot of water, and should be placed in constant indirect sunlight. I am so happy with the final product, and I think it makes such a nice decor piece.

Go-To Products | Summer Essentials

I'm back with my Summer favourites with products that I have been constantly using since the start of the Summer. Summer is easily my favourite season - I enjoy the heat so much! When people complain about how hot is i'm literally like lalala can't hear youuuuuuuuuu.

Although along with the heat comes an unideal makeup situation where it has a tendency to slide off your face. I tend to use less products in the Summer as I don't want to pile up the product and look "cakey".

If you love the smell of coconut I would highly recommend the Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer (I have it in the shade light). It has such a buttery texture and a nice sheen to it that gives you a subtle summer glow, and plus it literally smells like a vacation, absolutely in love!

I have also been obsessed with liquid lipsticks as you can count on them staying in place for most of the day. My favourite (in the picture above) has to be Kat Von D's liquid lipstick in Bow n' Arrow. This shade is a perfect nude that doesn't look too dark on fair skin. The other liquid lipstick that I have been loving is Too Faced Melted Matte Liquefied Long Wear Matte Lipstick in Feelin Myself. This shade is the most perfect coral for the summer. It is bright and a statement lipstick but really gives off that Summer vibe! If I had to pick between the two I still love Kat Von D's formula a little bit more, along with the doe foot applicator. The only downside to Kat Von D's line is it tends to not have as much of a selection when it comes to bright colours.

My third favourite are bright nail polishes. I'm constantly wearing nail polish throughout the summer, and I wait all Winter for when I can wear those bright, fun Summer colours again! I have been loving Essie nail polishes lately, as well as Sally Hansen and American Apparel. Sally Hansen's has great lasting power and I tend to not be very careful when it comes to my nails, so thats saying alot!

What are your favourite products for the Summer?! :)
