2014, The Year That Was | Thoughts

 

Aloha Bandellas 

Yes, its that time of the year again, where we reflect on the year that has past; the high, the lows, the victories and the defeats. Its literally so crazy how time has gone by.

2014 was an absolutely incredible year for me. From finishing school, making decisions about my future and starting this blog, it safe to say it was been a turbulent year.

In the beginning everything about this year felt daunting. I knew it was going to be a year of goodbyes and inevitable change, two thing is make me extremely anxious.

This year also had an abundance of memories. From the highly anticipated matricball, the endless missions with friends and the countless hours of happiness at family gatherings. This year consisted of ticking off milestones one blissful occasion at a time.

I also learnt a lot about myself as a person this year. I feel as though this entire year is indicative of the person I want to become someday. I learnt the value of family and friendship alike.

Thus far my 18 years of exsistance has been nothing but fabulous. I look forward to the new adventures of 2015, the people I will meet and the friends I will keep.

Let's step away from the mirror and stop reflecting for a bit, so that it can shine us in all its glory into the beautiful new year.

Have am amazing 2015 everyone ❤

Taylor Swift Makeup Tutorial | Beauty

Aloha Bandellas

I may not be "Swiftie" but Taylor Swifts latest album, 1989, has got me drooling over the superstars fashion choice and makeup look. Her makeup is so effortless while it remains super glam. I have thus put together a 4 step 'pictorial' (picture tutorial) on the products I would use to achieve this look.

Here goes, hope you enjoy:

Hope you find this useful! Goodluck with creating the looks. Let me know your style/makeup icons below in the comment.
