October 2014 Ipsy Glam Bag: Beauty Candy


Guys, I am always super late when it comes to posting a post about these glam bags! I'm determined to be on time next month. DETERMINED! 

Moving on...the theme of October for Ipsy was Beauty Candy. How adorable! The bag for this month is by far my favorite like it looks like a high end type of bag. The bag is your standard pouch type bag but in the color teal. It has a quilted type of pattern on it but it is super sturdy type of plastic. I really like it because it won't rip easily and it won't get dirty. Love love love it.


As per usual I received five beauty like items and overall I am happy. So click on read more to check my thoughts on the bag!

Consenescere: Spending Time In Central Park & Home

*Near Strawberry Fields*

Over the past weekend I took a trip with two of my friends back home. We planned this trip a couple of weeks ago and I've been super excited because I haven't been home since August.  The bus we traveled on dropped my friends and I in New York City so we decided to spend a day roaming around and go to Central Park and Times Square. My other two friends hadn't been around the city as much as I had and so this was sort of a tourist experience for them. 

Here are some pictures we took at Central Park.

*An awesome tunnel that I forgot the name of!*

One of my friends told me that I always get the awesome "hair blowing in the wind" pics...very true.

*Right outside of the tunnel*

Laura and I's favorite candid pic! Thanks Lauren for the picture! This picture is literally my favorite. 

*Sitting on a bench at the walkway towards Bethesda*

This beautiful leaf just fell onto my shoulders. I needed a picture of this!

*Again near Bethesda, the three of us*

One of my favorite group picture of us out of a bunch. There's a fantastic one of us where we look absolutely goofy but Lauren would not appreciate me posting it here :P

Trust me we had a lot of pictures between the three of us but these were our favorite. It was a beautiful day in Central Park and I couldn't have been more happier then to spend it with these two. This was also Laura's first time in Central Park and she loved it. 

We roamed around Central Park a little bit more before heading to Times Square. We were all super exhausted at that point and just wanted to get to my home. We met up with my mother at the Port Authority (she works in the city) and we all finally went to my house. 

My mom and dad made an epic meal and I had never been more happy than that moment of eating a home cooked meal. I was so happy to see my family after months and it made me feel sane again. 

Being in school felt so repetitive and lonely. Drama has been happening around the apartment and stress has been piling up. I not only needed this weekend but my friends needed this as well. It makes me humble and love my family even more. I love to be independent but nothing beats home.

My short and sweet weekend lifted my spirits. I can't wait until Thanksgiving and Christmas and the beauty of winter. I can't wait to be home for the holidays. 

I hope you enjoyed this post. It's something different for Amaryllis Living and I like it. I'll probably do more of these in the future. Until then!

Love Always,

Daisy
