Essential Beauty Products for college

1. Basic Makeup

Everyone likes to dress up and use different type of makeup but in reality in college all you need is a small cosmetic bag. All I have in mine is canceler and foundation and a few eye shadows.

2. Lotion

I think that every day you should be keeping your skin hydrated especially when it starts getting colder. Put it on your skin right after you shower while your skin is still wet.

3. Body wash

It's not like at home when you can leave a bar of soap in your shower because most colleges have have communal bathrooms. Buy some body wash and a loofah and just don't forget to take it out of the shower when you are done.

College Fashion

Many of you are heading off to college or if you're like me have already started classes and have been doing homework. I am a freshman and the last thing a freshman wants to be known for is being a freshman. But think about this seniors we have four years of fun and yours is almost over so don't take your anger about leaving out on us. The way I learned to tell the freshman at my school from the other grades was surprising. Here is what is ways to tell the grades from another...

Freshman

Freshman are known in my school to rep the college attire like a pro. College shirt with matching sweatpants topped off with a hat. The number one thing not to do is wear your school id around your neck.

Sophomores

Sophomores here are known to dress up. Which is funny because I have a way of knowing if this stereo type is true. One day thing week I was wearing a skirt and got mistaken for a sophomore .

Juniors

Juniors on the other hand tend to dress more casual. I have a question are overalls in fashion now? because my campus is covered in overalls and high wasted shorts

Seniors

Seniors here are known to walk out of bed and go to class in their pajamas

Crazy Superstitions

So I was walking through my room and my compact mirror was on the ground under a blanket and i stepped on it. Which means now I should have seven years of bad luck. So this made me think that i should research these superstitions because we all heard them but where do they come from. Interesting little fact I learned was in Spain eating grapes at midnight will bring good luck. Which last night I got home from work at midnight and had some grapes and now I have seven years of bad luck :(.

The history of Acorn Superstitions:

Yes something as simple as a fruit on a oak tree that falls to the ground and animals eat has superstitions. The acorn was a talisman worn as a pendent because they thought it had magical powers. During storms people use to hid under oak trees because they believed it was safer but it is actually a very dangerous place to stay during a storm. In the 1600s acorn juice was given to alcoholics as a cure and prevention. Today people carry around acorns because there is a belief that it prevents aging. If two lovers put two acorns in to a bowl with water and each acorn representing themselves and they float to each other then they will marry in the future.

Tuck in you thumbs if you go by a Grave yard

In japan if you walk passed a grave yard you are required to tuck your thumbs into you pocket. That is because the Japanese word for thumb means parent finger. And in doing so tucking your thumbs into your pocket protects your parents.
Black Cat Superstition

This is what believe to be the most communally known superstition. Everyone has heard don't let a black cat cross your path. Last week when I was driving a black cat ran in front of the car in front of me and "crossed his path". In history black cats where never considered scary, evil, or anything to fear until they started to be connected to witches. People in Europe believed that witches produced black magic and cats where seen being fed by lonely old ladies that where later accused of witchery. In the 1560's a father and son where walking and a black cat crossed their path and went into a crawl space and the father and son began to throw rocks. The the helpless injured animal ran into a women's house who was accused of witchery. The next day the father and son ran into the women and she was bruised and limping and the two men drew conclusions that the women was in fact the cat they have been throwing rocks at.

Hey Everyone!

First I have to apologize. I created this blog to be here for people and express why fashion is a great thing and should not be something that is critiqued. But working three jobs at the beginning of the summer then two throughout the summer to make money for college left little time to work on this blog and sadly no time to do any shopping haha. I thought it would be cool do do a little question tag for what I've been up to this summer.

Question 1: What is the best part of summer time?
The best part of my summer was realizing what and who is really important in your life. If something you are doing or someone is your life doesn't make you happy change that for the better because trust me you'll be sad for a few moments and then you'll smile and you will realize it was all for the better.

Question 2: Do you tan or burn?
Normally during the summer I am a complete lobster but this summer the largest time I'm outside is when I'm eating my lunch in-between work so I've built up a nice gradual tan and only had one painful burn this summer.

Question 3: Favourite summer nail polish?
I love my purple pastel Revlon nail polish. And the best part is it dries in under a minute and anyone who knows me knows I'm the most impatient person in the world and waiting five minutes for polish to dry always leaves to smudges.

Question 4: Favourite summer drink/beverage?
Newmans own lemonade. Honestly the best lemonade out there trust me.

Question 5: Favourite summer clothing item?
High waisted shorts. I got three pairs from American eagle for about ten dollars and they are the best shorts because they look good and they actually can fit an iPhone in the front pocket.

Question 6: Favourite current phone app during this summer?
Wanelo would have to be the most used app on my phone. It easy to just scroll through and see things you like and especially finding cute objects for your dorm room.

Question 7: Favourite summer movie?
I'm actually going to change this question if that's ok. my favorite summer show has to be big brother. Ive watched it every summer sense I was 8 but this summer i am obsessed with it. And I'm so sad Hayden is gone absolutely the best showmance on big brother.

Question 8: Favourite summer beauty product?
Bath and body works cucumber melon body lotion. It smells amazing.

Question 9: Favourite summer activity?
Reading a book outside on a sunny day. I just recently just finished dear nobody and am about to start if I stay. (Yet i haven't even started my summer reading book for college.

Question 10: Favourite type of lip product for the summer time?I love baby lips by maybelline.

(sorry I just had too lol)

i hope everyone's summer is going well. xoxo-dbc

The High School Graduate

To say that in high school you learn more about life then school I would say is a correct fact. Throughout High school I have gained and lost friends. I fell is love with a boy that is gone forever. And now I'm at the point of my life where I have to forget the past and move on. The most important part is remembering the memories and not focusing on how those relationships ended. Relationships come and go. Some people are worth fighting for and some are worth letting that person go their separate ways. If someone makes you feel bad and hurts your soul without an explanation then they are not worth your time. I understand that things happen but making assumptions just makes you look stupid because if your friends with someone a conversation is worth it because without taking the step to understand the situation is pointless. The thing about high school ending that you need to understand is that life my feel unimportant right now but it is just the start. That little thing your doing that seems unimportant example being a summer job, just make the best of it and not dread it because life will always get better, if it doesn't get better than you need to know that your story is not over, your life is going to change and it's up to you to make that change.

Top Bathing Suits For Summer 2014

1.O'neill seaside bikini

I have always loved high rise bathing suits but have never been able to pull them off. This swim suit is great because the top adds a little more then most high rise bikinis do.
Find this swim suit at pacsun.com
(here's a little tip for everyone, pacsun has a MAJOR swim sale during the summer, I got Bathing Suits for less them twenty each last year)
2. Mallorca Meet-Up One-Piece Swimsuit

Everyone who knows me knows I'm obsessed with Modcloth. There bathing suits are retro but extremely fashionable for today and you will never run into someone with the same swim suit as you at the beach.

Find it at modcloth.com

3.Sunning Sweetie One-Piece Swimsuit

This swim suit is also from mod cloth. What I like about this is it reminds me of the Great Gatsby. This swim suit is unique with the neck line. The biggest thing that I support is being unique and do what is not the norm and you will catch eyes if you walk down the beach in this because no one will be wearing anything like it.

You can find this at modcloth.com

4.BLACK BATIK PRINT BIKINI

I love this bathing suit. I have one swim suit that has a top like this and I just love it. They look great and are not uncomfortable.

Find this at topshop.com

@DBCFashion

Hey everyone It's Cara! I have had a twitter for this blog for a little over a year but pretty much all my posts where linked to my blog. And I decided at midnight last night to change that up a little bit. Most of you who have twitters probably follow parody accounts like pajama kid and common girl. Over my four years in high school I have gone through it all. Heartbreak, losing friends, and being embarrassed. With all the parody accounts I was following I realized that they where all the same reposting the same content. So I started my own. I hope you cheek it out, enjoy it, and it makes you laugh.

Here are some tweets:

You're not an idiot for trusting him and sharing your dreams. He's the idiot for not seeing your worth.

Today's Dare
Walk up to a stranger and ask them for a high five

I'm quit depressed that Facebook doesn't have are relationship status. Mentally dating a celeb that doesn't know I exist takes a lot of work

Stuck In Love

"I could hear my heart beating. I could hear every one's heart. I could hear the human noise we sat there making, not one of us moving, not even when the room went dark."

I have never done a movie review or a book review because personally I feel that everyone have different opinions about media and putting my personal opinion about a movie shouldn't mean the world to you because it's not what I think but once I saw the movie stuck in love I loved it. I watch a lot of movies trust me but there was something about this movie.

"Just avoid love at all costs. That's my motto."

The reason I decided to write about this movie is because it was the only movie I've seen in a while that shows the reality of love. Most movies are predictable but this movie seemed real and not commercialized. If any of you have a free two hours I highly recommend this movie trust me Nat Wolf has grown up sense the naked brothers band.

"I remember that it hurt. Looking at her hurt." Rusty (Nat Wolf)
