2014 Favorites!

2014 has been an eventful year for me. I've learned a lot and I have to say, it has been one of the best! Here are my 2014 favorites, enjoy :)

Random:

Friends

Every year, I am very thankful for the amount of friends I have and the one's I've made throughout the year. I have to say that my friends are basically the highlight of my year. You know, it's not the amount of things you have in life that make you happy. Material things can make you happy for a short amount of time but friends are like treasures. I love collecting them, because the happiness I get from them is infinite. Treasures are hard to find, and sometimes you find some that aren't meant for you, but either way, you learn, you grow. So, I am very thankful for the treasures that I've had for years. Sarah, Lindsay, Meeka, Kim, Hannah and Shirley, I love you guys. You've been the greatest friends and sisters for life! Nur, Jeanne, Leira and Majdoleen, I'm glad that I have found unique treasures this year that I am going to love forever :)

Skechers Sneakers

I've never really been a fan of Skechers, but there was a point during the year where I really needed to purchase a good pair of sneakers for work. I figured, since all my other co-workers were buying Skechers, I would try them out as well, and oh my gosh, they are the comfiest sneakers I have ever owned. They are lined with a memory foam on the inside that makes you feel like your walking on pillows! No joke :)

Chain Rings

I've been obsessed with these gold chain rings! I just love the simplicity of them. You can never own too many of these!

Polaroid

Isn't it ironic how our generation these days seem to find the things we used in the past very favorable? When Polaroids existed, we hoped for Digital cameras, when Digital cameras existed, we hoped for DSLR camera and when DSLR existed we became obsessed with the ideas of Polaroids all over again. It's funny how this circle goes around! None the less, I love Polaroids. I always have. And this year, I've made a pretty good use out of mine! :)

Game of Life

My sister and I had this board game for almost 7 years and no matter how much we play the game, it never gets old. It definitely is a great entertainment for family game nights!

 Faux Leather Jacket

 This is my " go-to " jacket. It's black so it goes with pretty much anything you wear! Definitely my fav jacket of the year :)

Make-up/Skincare:

Benefit They're Real Mascara

This is by far the best mascara I've ever tried. It lengthens my lashes and gives it a crazy amount of thickness, it's unreal. Hence, the name, They're Real ;) See what I did there :P

Mac Cyber Lipstick

Through out the year, I've always managed to have this in my make-up bag. I don't know why but I always find my self using this lipstick to mix and match with other colors. It definitely is a beautiful color on, as well as a great one when mixed with others :)

Mac Soar Lip Pencil

I got this lip pencil around mid-november because I was looking for a lip color that was kind of natural but not too " dead looking " on the lips. So, I took my chances with this lip liner and this literally is my go to lip color ;)

Naked Basics Palette

All year round fav! Love this palette! I already hit pan since I use this every single day :)

F.A.B Ultra Repair Cream

I can't write enough about how much I love this product! It is the only moisturizer I've found that does not break me out or leave me dry throughout the day. I love this product so much and I know that it's going to be in my 2015 favorites as well!

EOS Lipbalm

Great lip moisturizer. I use this every morning and night before bed time :)

Drinks:

Starbucks Caramel Macchiato

THE. BEST. COFFEE. DRINK. EVER!

Teavana

I cannot count how many cups of tea I've taken down from this place! I love Teavana!

Movies:

The Fault In Our Stars

Movie of the year! I love Shailene Woodley, she's my favorite! Oh, there you go, my fav actress of 2014 would have to be her! :)

The Other Woman

I've never laughed harder in 2014. This movie was soooo good! A good movie for a girls night or a sleepover :)

Music:

Taylor Swift

1989 

Taylor Swift just keeps getting better and better. Fav album of 2014 and out of all her albums out there! I blogged about how much I loved this album too! :) 

Sam Smith

In The Lonely Hour

Sam Smith? Oh gosh, His music is just so beautiful and his voice always relaxes me!

Ed Sheeran

    

Ed Sheeran has always been one of those artists that I put off and never really quite listened to. But I recall one day hearing Thinking Out Loud on the iTunes radio and I completely fell in-love with the song and that's where my interest for his music started. 



Hope you guys had an amazing 2014 and here's to an even better year ahead! Happy 2015 everyone, let's make it a memorable one :)

Love,
