Swimmer's Ear! SOS

Hey guys! So I have a horrible case of swimmer's ear. If you guys know any ways to make it hurt less, that would be awesome.

I've tried:

• Ear drops
• A warm cloth
• A hot water bottle
• ibuprofen 

The ones that work at night:

• Ear drops
• A warm cloth
• A hot water bottle
• ibuprofen

(AKA None of the above)

 So that is why I'm asking you all for help. Because I don't think that I've gotten more than 5 hours of sleep the last three days. AND I would really appreciate any tips. Thank you guys so much!!

My New Computer (MacBook Pro) Review :D

Soo I might be a little biased because I really love all of my apple products and I really hate PCs soooo..... OH WELL!! Onto the review.

Let me start off with a S/O to Matt at apple! He helped me reset my password of my MacBook Pro, becaue I ride the struggle bus every single day.

Anyways, they are soo helpful. I would highly suggest getting apple care because hey, its better to be safe than sorry, plus customer care for three years... and lets be real, we all know I'll need it.

Enough about the apple care, lets get down to the details. I do have the non-retina macbook pro, but it has the same graphics card and the same processor, and I didn't really want to pay the 300+ extra dollars. As far as I am concerned, there are very few more features that are worth it to me. I think the screen is awesome as it is. Also, I love the speed. I love the portability. It is not too heavy, but it isn't too light, something that tends to give products a cheaper feel.

Overall, so far, I love my new macbook pro. It is amazing. If you are considering a macbook pro or a PC, I would go with the apple. In my opinion, they are much better.

Foundation of the Month!!!

So I still have like 1/4 of a bottle of Revlon Colorstay but.....

... after a few baseball games out in the sun, the shade didn't really match anymore...

So off to the store I headed. I decided that I should probably pick a different foundation to test out. I had heard nothing but good about the Covergirl 3 in 1 Foundation, so I decided to give it a shot. I must say, for the price, I am quite impressed. It is probably  one of my favorites so far!! Let me give you a list of the pros and cons: (Just kidding there really aren't any cons)

Pros:

• The perfect ammount comes out in 1 or 2 pumps for me
• It works AMAZING on dry skin
• It is extremely easy to match your shade
• It stays on for a long time
• It does NOT look cakey!!!
• It is AMAZING
• It does not wear off onto other things
• There is no need for powder!!
• IT lasts for a long time!!

The only thing I can say that is possibly bad about this foundation is the fact that it is a pump, it might be a bit difficult to get out all of the product. But we'll cross that bridge when we get to it :)

Overall Score: ☆ﾟ☆ﾟ☆ﾟ☆ﾟ☆ﾟ

Possible Beauty Blender Dupe?

     So the other day, I was at my local Walgreens and as usual, I was browsing the makeup aisle (there were lots of sales going on!!!). So anyways, I was near the hair accessories when I noticed a brush with a beauty blender on top of it. I thought it looked really cool, so I looked around and found a knock off beauty blender!! It was 25% off with card, so the final price was only $4.84 plus any sales tax. I was so excited when I saw it, because I have been looking for a beauty blender for quite a while, that I had to get it. 

     I seriously love it! My foundation goes on perfectly. I love the way even my Revlon Colorstay looks, which I legitimately HATED! So overall I love this product. It is a good size, it is soft, it applies my foundation perfectly and best of all, it does't absorb a ton of makeup. I love the way cosmetic wedges make my foundation look too, but they waste so much of the makeup! 

     At the end of the day, I think this product is absolutely AMAZING and I would definately repurchase it!! Five stars from me!!!

Remington Waving Wand Review!

So I recently purchased the Remington waving wand from my local Target for $7 on clearance, and I'm not going to lie, I wasn't expecting much. I was quite surprised when I used it!

First of all, this thing heats up to 410 degrees Fahrenheit pretty quickly! It works fantastically for me! It comes with a glove too, a pretty nice feature. In addition, it has an automatic shut off after 1 hour, a perfect amount of time. I love that you can't accidentally bump the power button. You have to hold it to turn it off. Some great features!!!

I also would like to compare the Remington waving wand to the curling wand. My waving wand is elliptical in shape, not round HOWEVER, it creates the exact same kind of curls/waves as the round curling wand. If you have one, I would not suggest buying the other, but if you find a good deal, I wouldn't hesitate to pass up this gorgeous wand!!

Overall, I love this wand! I would buy it over again!! Five stars! A must have! Love!!

Nikon L310 Review

So as you may or may not know, about 3 months ago, on black Friday, I purchased my Nikon L310. I wrote my "first review" about it, but now that I have had it for a little bit longer, I wanted to upload a new post.

I love the Nikon L310!! It is fantastic! My favorite things about it:
1) AUTOFOCUS!! When you are focusing on something, it works great!
2) SOUND! The sound on the Nikon L310 is great! I don't feel the need to VoiceOver.
3) Photo Quality is fantastic!
4) BATTERY LIFE!!! When I use lithium batteries, they last me a really long time.
5) SIZE It is small but mighty. Great picture quality and video quality for size.
6) LOWLIGHT PICTURES ARE GREAT!!!
7) LOWLIGHT VIDEO ISN'T HORRIBLE! average.
10) ONLY $100!!!

Tips:
1) Get a protective case
2) Get a memory [sd] card
3) USE LITHIUM BATTERIES!!! SO IMPORTANT
4) For me, the auto mode works much Better than easy auto mode.

Overall, I would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND TO A FRIEND!!
5 stars :)
