October Favorites!

October is finally coming to a close! Since today is the last day of the month I though I would post this months favorites! Enjoy!

1. Coke Zero. I love this because it tastes far better than Diet Coke in my opinion. And, it's better for you than a regular coke. 

2. These booties from H&M have become a fall favorite! They have just the right balance between dressy and casual.

3. Bangerz! Miley's new music is so edgy yet still manages to remain soulful and emotional.

4. Pinafore style playsuits paired with tights are perfect for fall! The tights help make the transition from summer to fall and keep you warmer!

5. Revlon has some great products right now. Their ColorStay Concealer and ColorStay Gel Eyeliner have been an everyday ritual this past month.

6. This bag from H&M is quickly becoming my favorite bag that I own. A perfect amount of space inside with a leather look exterior that can be dressed up or down.

Happy Halloween! 

Anxiety and Panic Attacks

Something that very few people know about me is that I suffer with severe anxiety and have to live with weekly and sometimes daily panic attacks.

This is something I have had problems with my whole life with varying degrees of difficulty. I can remember being seven years old and dealing with it and now I'm 18 and it's becoming much too difficult to be something that I just "deal" with. 

I have had to deal with multiple "types" of anxiety. A lot of it boils down to not always being able to be in control of everything all of the time. I constantly have this feeling of worry in the pit of my stomach and it builds up to massive amounts of panic until I have a panic attack.

Panic attacks can be different for everyone. Personally when I get them my chest starts to hurt until I feel like I'm breathing harder and harder but can't get enough air in. I get shaky and my stomach starts to hurt. I will feel like I have to be up and moving but I can't actually get anything done because I can't focus on anything except the panic attack.

It may not sound that bad but a panic attack is physically and mentally exhausting. I would rather run a 5k without stopping than have a panic attack. It's so tiring and embarrassing.

Lately my panic and anxiety has gotten so bad that it's starting to run my life. Before doing anything I always consider my anxiety.
Will this make me feel more anxious than I already am? Will I have a panic attack? What if something happens whilst I'm out? I guess I just won't go.

That's how things have been as of late. Hopefully I will soon learn ways of coping/dealing with this problem.

September Favorites!

Now that September is over I've decided to recap on a few of my favorite things during the month! Each month of the year brings exciting new things, but I've narrowed it down to a select few from this past month.

1. Diet Dr. Pepper. Unfortunately I am the kind of person who has a tough time drinking water. I find it boring. However, I started drinking Diet Dr. Pepper. While this isn't necessarily "healthy" it is nice to have a can with your lunch. 

2. Low-top Converse in black. I had never really worn converse very much before this month but lately I've been wearing them almost religiously! They're so comfortable and can work with almost any outfit whether you're keeping casual or want to dress down something a bit fancier.

3. Ariana Grande and The 1975. These two artists are on complete opposite ends of the spectrum! I've been loving both of them so much this month. Fantastic albums.

4. Dungarees and Playsuits. I'v been loving both of these clothing items this month. Dungarees can be so cute and casual and playsuits can be dressed up so fancily. Both items are so comfortable and easy! Love it!

5. Maybelline FITme Foundation stick and Essie's Play Date. I'm not usually a fan of cream/stick foundations but this one works SO WELL. It's completely matte and keeps your face from looking shiny which i desperately need. As for nails, Essie's 'Play Date' is so sweet and girly. I've been loving it!

6. Chunky Gold Necklaces. These are such a statement piece and can be added to almost any outfit from tee's to blouses! They're so versatile and I absolutely love mine!
