September Favorites

Hello everyone!

It is now the first day of October and in my eyes, officially Fall/Autumn! This also sadly means the end to September. So here are the list of my favorites throughout September!

Food + Tea - De La Terre: Purifies Blemish Skin Tea


After having the most amazing facials of my LIFE during my visit to San Francisco, my facialist wanted me to keep up my skin care when I can. So I bought this tea from the beauty line she used during one of my facials called the De La Terre Skincare line. She recommended this tea specifically to help target eliminating my blemishes and reduce the redness on my face. Made with chamomile, dandelion, nettles, chickweed, and licorice - the tea is quite herbally with a slight bitter taste. Growing up with herbal flower teas, this is quite the lovely tea throughout the day. With benefits including reducing inflammation and bacteria activity, minimizing pore size, and providing Vitamin A, B, C this tea is PACKED with power.

Make-Up + Beauty

So, I forgot my makeup bag that holds my sunscreen, BB cream, and primer at my brother's house so I haven't been able to do my makeup properly. But I have new found love with my lip glosses that I always have on hand in my purse to add a touch of color.

Tony Moly Petit Bunny Gloss Bar - #4 Juicy Cherry


SUPER CUTE container once again by the Tony Moly series! I picked this up from an Urban Outfitters and is an adorable companion in my purse for a touch of color.  With a slightly red tint, I feel slightly 50's pin-up  with slight red lips. Now this is a gloss and isn't meant to stay on forever (especially after my designated coffee time). I DO wish it was a little stronger in color, but it does add the touch of color I love. A little on the pricey side ($8) when you buy in person, so very recommended to try and find it online.

Benefit Dallas Ultra Gloss


You can NEVER be too old for squeeze-tube lip gloss. A pretty dusty rose color to add a subtle hint of elegance and color when I wear my casual California clothes. A gift from my brother's girlfriend The color is extremely subtle on my lips since they are a similar color. But it is nice to know you have a touch of color on your lips when you're out. It smells lovely and is quite lightweight on my lips and feels like chapstick rather than lip gloss.

TV / Movies - Drunk History


My brothers introduced me to this show knowing that all three of us have a love of learning, American history, and funny drinking stories. This show encompasses everything that we could have ever asked for. Shown on Comedy Central and on Hulu Plus, each episode takes place in a different iconic American City/Area or piece of American Culture. Then different narrators re-tell American stories that aren't that known and based on actual events, but just told through a drunk person's perspective. Then the production team takes that narration and has it re-enacted with actors to help show the story in a more dynamic way. This is by far one of my favorite shows that I watched over and over again. I just introduced this to one of my best girlfriends, who also happens to be a Film & Media Major, loved the idea of educating an audience in a fun and unique way!

Video Games - Pokemon X


So after a LONG day of studying and job hunting, nothing is more relaxing than kicking back with the 3DS and going on an epic journey. I've actually had the game on my 3DS since it came out last Fall Season, but I bought it so I could be cool to say I had it. The first playthrough, I didn't really get too far and wasn't as attached to it as I was with my older pokemon games. So I decided to restart completely, and BEST DECISION EVER. I feel more emotionally attached to my pokemon and paying attention more to the story and the environment. I can't wait til I have my team together to play against my friends!

Here is my current team with only 4 hours playing. (Not my real avatar, but I love the look of her!)

That's all I have for my September favorites I hope you guys enjoyed them or you're a little curious about some of the things I talked about. Please let me know what are some of your September favorites in anything - Food, new places to visit, books, movies, music, and etc!
