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.

Maxi Cardigan - Urban Outfitters

Boyfriend's Tee - Forever 21

Gray Leggings - Cupio

Brown Boots (similar to mine) - Target

*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.

*Me (wearing the shirt I bought for my brother who hates it), my sister, and the cutest dog in the world Pebbles. She even has her own hashtag on instagram #iamzepebbles*

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

Review: Almay Smart Shade CC Cream & Mousse Makeup


I decided to go out on a whim (well because I got a $2 off coupon for Almay products at Target) and splurge on two new Almay face products from their smart shade line called the Almay Smart Shade CC Cream and the Almay Smart Shade Mousse Makeup. And let me just tell you, Almay isn't a cheap drugstore product. The CC Cream retails for $8.49 at Target and the Mousse Makeup is priced at $11.99. So let's get on to some swatches.

Review: L'oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder


I went to Target the other day and just like any makeup obsessed person, I was browsing through the makeup aisle not expecting to buy anything. But this is the downfall of all makeup lovers out there because in reality you will buy something new, regardless if it was in your budget or not. And that product for me is the L'oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder. It was perched high on the L'oreal section shelf and I was only able to find it after doing a couple rounds around the makeup aisle. I was excited because I had not heard about this product anywhere and I immediately picked it up. Now it comes in around 12 shades with a decent color range from light to dark tan and it was easy for me to find my shade. The price was fairly reasonable at $10.99. So let's check out some swatches.
