Weekly Favorites: 3|11|16

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is having an amazing day! This week has been a busy one, but of course I had to take the time to post a weekly favorites and share with you what I have been loving! Let me know what  you guys think and I also would love to know what you've been up to! Enjoy!

Favorite Song:

My favorite song this week is All My Love by Major Lazer. This song just makes you want to get up and move! I also love listening to this when I start my day when I am getting ready, it just brightens my mood.


Favorite Drink:

My favorite drink this week is another iced coffee! I get it from my local coffee shop and I get a coconut iced coffee with skim milk and two Splenda and it's just sweet enough to curb my sweet tooth!



Favorite Food:

I started the Weight Watchers Diet this past week and I have been loving protein pancakes for breakfast! I wish I had a picture, but I follow the Blogilates recipe; I'm going to leave the video here for you to see!



Favorite Quote:

My favorite quote this week is, "The man on top of the mountain didn't fall there." -Vince Lombardi
This quote! It motivates me to push myself to achieve my goals and my dreams.


Favorite Makeup:

I could not stop wearing my Kat Von D Lolita liquid lipstick at all this week! I  think I may have worn it every day (don't judge) 


That's all for this week!

xoxo,
Meg

Weekly Favorites: 3|4|16

Hey everyone! I first want to apologize for my absence this past week. I was super busy with work, but that's no excuse for slacking on my blog! I'm back this week with another weekly favorites that I hope you all will enjoy...Let me know what you think!

Favorite Song:
This song! I can listen to it all day and my excitement grows each time I listen to it. 

Favorite Drink:
I have been loving Iced coffee lately...I know it's pretty basic, but I just can't resist a nice iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts. Being from New York, every year around this time they give out a travel cup that you can re-fill up until the end of April for a fraction of the regular cost and it's just amazing! I get a caramel iced coffee with milk and sugar ;) 


Favorite Food:
On date day/night this week, my boyfriend and I went to Brick House Tavern & Tap and had duck wings. I'm not one to try new things and after trying these I'm so glad I did. They came with their signature sauce and sriacha ranch dressing and they were to die for! Also, it's my boyfriend's birthday today! Happy Birthday to the love of my life!


Favorite Quote:

"Never love anybody who treats you like your ordinary."
-Oscar Wilde
I agree so much with this quote. If you aren't willing to give someone your all and treat them how you would like to be treated, then you need to remove that person from your life. Never let anyone treat you in a way that does not make you happy.

Favorite Makeup:
Over the weekend, I actually was given a sample of the new Tarte Rainforest of The Sea foundation to try out and I am slightly obsessed! It is super lightweight, but gives amazing coverage. I wore it all day and felt like I had no makeup on and it gave me such a flawless airbrushed finished. I plan on picking up a full size of the product.

That's all for this week's favorites! I hope you all enjoyed!
xoxo,
Meg

Weekly Favorites: 2|19|16

Hello once again and welcome back to my blog! I'm back with another weekly favorites and I couldn't be happier to share them with you all. I hope everyone had a productive and meaningful week! I've been crazy busy with work this week but it feels good to be working hard and furthering my dreams. I hope you enjoy this week's favorites; let me know what you think!

Favorite Song:
I have had this song on repeat all week long and it's safe to say that this is my new favorite song. I even have a favorite line in the song. The lyric is, "Baby you're like lightning in a bottle, I can't let you go now that I got it." It may be corny to some, but I love this song!

Favorite Food:
I went on date night with my boyfriend last night and we went to The Cheesecake Factory! I know it's a chain, but we both got off of work late and just wanted to spend some time alone somewhere for a little bit. We always get the Chicken Potstickers as an appetizer and they are just amazing!

Favorite Drink:
This has been a favorite drink of mine for a while, but I've been loving Mojitos lately for my cocktail of choice. There's something about that minty flavor that is so refreshing.

Favorite Quote:
I just want to make everyone around me that I love happy. I want to exude happiness and bring pure joy to the people who mean the most to me. Positivity is what everyone needs in their life. You never  know what someone is going through and I believe that being nice could potentially make someone's whole day.


Favorite Makeup:
For awhile, I strayed away from contouring and bronzing my face. I just wanted to take a break from using so much bronzer and just have a clean, bare face. Lately, I have rediscovered my love for bronzer, probably because I'm super pale right now! I love giving myself a subtle sun-kissed glow and it improves my whole look because I just look healthy and alive. My favorite bronzer to use right now is actually a powder from Maybelline. It's their FIT ME powder; I just buy a shade a few shades darker than my natural skin color. 
That's all for this week's favorites!
Enjoy!
xoxo,
Meg

Weekly Favorites: 2|12|16

Hello everyone! I'm back again this week for a weekly favorites. This past weekend I was in Boston with my boyfriend for a weekend getaway...it was amazing to just kick back and relax! While away on our trip, I felt a whole new wave of inspiration come over me and I couldn't wait to get back to my blog. I'll be the first to admit, I let my blog fall to the wayside a bit because I became busier with my other jobs. I am done making excuses for myself and I am ready to post more fashion and beauty related posts. I hope you are all looking forward to it. Thank you so much for your support, and I hope you enjoy this week's favorites!  

xoxo,
Meg

Favorite Food:
Wicked Good Cupcakes!
We stayed in the Financial District and were right across the street from Faneuil Hall in Boston. Faneuil Hall is a marketplace with different foods and local shops and retail shops in and surrounding it. We came across these cupcakes after dinner one night and we couldn't resist. This company was featured on the television show, Shark Tank and have become a very successful business. These cupcakes were so delicious we decided to go back the next day and get some more!

Favorite Quote:
"A negative mind will never give you a positive life."

I couldn't agree with this quote more. I tend to be very hard on myself and post negative thoughts in my mind more often than not. I want to be more positive and go after what I really want in life. 


Favorite Blogger:
I like to empower others and spread positives to others as much as possible. Although I said I'm hard on myself and think negatively, I always try and build up others and see the best in them. I've been on this blogging journey for a little while now and there has always been that one fellow blogger who shows love on my blog and also has collaborated with me. This blogger's name is Karina and she is the face and name behind the blog, The Lovely Look. You should go check out her blog and tell her Meg sent you ;) Check out her latest look here --> The Romantic-A Valentine's Look

Favorite Song:
If anyone knows me, they know I am obsessed with Adele. Her voice is so amazing and she is just one of the most talented people in today's music world. This song gives me the chills it's so good! Her voice is truly angelic and like no other.

Favorite Makeup:
I love wearing makeup everyday. The only problem is that I don't like to take a seriously long time to apply it. On days where I don't want to go full glam, I try and simplify my steps so that I can get out the door as quick as possible. I love makeup products that make the job easier for you. The product that I have been loving is liquid lipstick. Liquid lipstick is super easy to apply, dries quickly, and will last you all day. I have been loving Kat Von D's liquid lipsticks in the shades, Requiem & Lolita II. 


Enjoy!

Hello everyone! I hope you're all having a great day and enjoying the month of February so far. I cannot believe the first month of 2016 is already over! I'm looking forward to the month of February and seeing what it brings to me and my life. I'm back with another weekly favorites(a day early!) and I am excited to share with you that I will be in Boston this weekend! I'm taking a little weekend getaway trip with my boyfriend and I am so excited. I'm looking forward to just getting away for a few days and relaxing. I'll share some of my trip with you sometime next week ;) Anyway, let's get into this week's favorites!

Favorite Song:
Stole the Show-Kyga...I've been trying to figure out the name of this song and I'm so glad that I finally found it! Let me know if you enjoy it, too;)

Favorite Quote:
"Just play. Have fun, Enjoy the game."
-Michael Jordan
I was a collegiate basketball player and I miss the game more than anything. I would do anything to go back and play another game with my team. I accomplished quite a lot in my collegiate career and I am proud of myself, but there's nothing like physically being on that court playing a game you love. I miss it more than anything!

Favorite Youtube Channel:
Although I've been watching this couple since they started their vlog channel, I've definitely gotten hooked and look forward to their videos every day. The channel, called Alex & Michael, is about two newlyweds who share their everyday life with their viewers. They are such a cute couple and I love Alex's style, as well. She also has her main channel, Alexandrea Garza, where she shares makeup and style tips with her viewers. Here is their wedding vlog:


Favorite Article:
I've always enjoyed reading articles from the website, Elite Daily. I have been recently reading more and more articles and love learning new things. I came across this article this week and wanted to share it with you all. Here it is:
Check it out!

Favorite Makeup:
This week, I fell back in love with a foundation that I have had for quite some time now. I ran out of this foundation and decide to re-purchase. It's the L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation. It's something about the coverage that just looks so nice and clean on your skin. It doesn't feel like you're wearing too much makeup and gives your skin an even and flawless look. I'm in the shade 102-Shell Beige. Lusterlux on YouTube has a great video explaining how the foundation works and gives swatches of the colors offered. 


That's all for my favorites this week! I hope you've enjoyed them...let me know what your favorites are this week!

Enjoy!
xoxo
