April beauty favorites

Its that time of the month where we welcome yet another monthly beauty favorites. I love the idea of makeup favorites and that is one thing I want to keep going as much as possible here on the blog and over on social media. One thing that I love this month is summer beauty favorites, over on polls this was the most requested thing! And here you go I am delivering some of my favorite current beauty favorites that I am taking into Summer. 

Just like last month I had a huge love for the beauty blender cleanser it is my BFF and probably is the one item that I would splurge on time after time only because its just one of those items that does it for me when it comes to getting my brushes and sponge clean. Remember those are the items that you are putting on your face EVERYDAY! 

Another item I am loving right now is the Origins cleanser this little stick is perfect. Not only is it a cleansing stick but it works so well with exfoliating and cleaning that hard to get off makeup and that gross stuff off you! 

Clinique foundation is making up one of my favorites for this month also! For one it is a two in one, foundation and concealer which if you ask me is amazing! That skips two steps out of the day which is awesome to me! I love being able to get stuff done faster and more effectively. 

Lastly, let's talk about Farmhouse Fresh, one product I have heard so much about and never ever decided to try. I love this sweet tea shea butter cream more than basically anything on this planet. The scent is just seriously lovely and goes on perfectly. Hand cream is not my thing ever and this stuff has won me over time after time! I also am super interested in purchasing the body oil because I have heard so many good things about that product! And it helps if you have dry skin like myself!

Why I cut my hair off

Happy Thursday friends!

Where have I been??? Busy as crap!

If you didn't know or didn't notice yet on Instagram and or social media, I chopped all my hair off. No joke I legit chopped it off. Honestly, there are so many reasons as to why I chopped it off. Today I wanted to open up and share why I took the plunge to short. 

It was impulsive

For the first time ever, I never second-guessed cutting off my hair. That's rare because usually, I back out of doing a dramatic life change 99% of the time. This time I just walked in showed a picture and my hairdresser fell in love with the style and ten minutes later it was allll gone. Never have I ever impulsed a decision and just did it. Honestly, I think people in life need to remember that it is in fact just hair and it will grow and come back.  

It symbolizes something

The past few months I have been busy, that's an understatement. I am in college I work full time and I write this blog right here. With that being said Coffee And A Blonde keeps growing, expanding and taking off. Not only that but I am trying to be as involved as I can in my community with fashion and culture. My weeks consist of meetings and more meetings. Besides that boring story, you don't care about. I also have made a huge life change in the past 6 months personally. I have recently emerged out of my shell, found self-worth and even had self-growth. So when I was looking at my old frocks in the mirror it symbolized the old, not the new. I have had so much growth in the past few months and I felt as though that needed to changed as soon as possible.

Finally, it symbolizes change 

To me, this new hair symbolizes cutting off the dead weight. The drama, the hard feelings, the emotions and also to show people that I am comfortable with who I am as a person and who I want to be. To those people who might judge me it is a huge personal screw you, this hair today symbolizes my growth my new chapter and more importantly me. Change can be good and change can come at times when we desperately need it. For myself, I feel as though something simple like cutting your hair or changing the color or anything along that nature. Can symbolize something so much more than one may think.
