JessListens: Rihanna- Stay ft. Mikky Ekko

Ever since Rihanna's performance at the Grammy's about a week ago, I have had "Stay" on repeat. RAW is the one word I would use to describe this song.

It portrays Rihanna is a different light, exposing her vulnerability. The video is well matched, displaying a bare-faced and nude silhouette of RiRi in a bathtub. I think the "stripped-down" video is perfect to portray her sensible, susceptible, tender side. She has always been one of those singers that consumes you into her performance.

OPI Panda-monium Pink- Review and Swatches

This is the time of year I start to swap all of the deep oxblood reds and rich fall shades for something light and airy. With Spring just being a month away, a pastel creme was just what I was looking for. 

OPI Panda-monium Pink, 3 coats

OPI Panda-monium Pink is a pretty and soft baby lilac-pink creme shade that was released in the OPI Hong Kong Spring 2010 Collection. It's cool-toned and pretty much equal shades pink and lilac. I think this shade goes well with all skin tones. It reminds me of the fair for some reason. Maybe because it somewhat resembles cotton candy? Or maybe because I'm hungry and thinking of cotton candy? Probably the latter of the two. 

OPI Panda-monium Pink, 1 coat 

The formulation was a tad less than typical with 2 coats for good coverage, but 3 coats for full opacity. OPI shades are pretty durable on me, and usually last about a week.

All-in-all, OPI Panda-monium Pink is one of my all-time favorites and tend to reach for it when I want something toned down but not completely nude.

AND IT CONTINUES...

So now I've found a template I like, but I have to figure out how to customize it. Bear with me!

This is old but it's a picture from a trip I took to Tennessee 2 years back at Winchester Springs, TN. I will be returning this summer, and I love it there! It's very much country living and sooo serene. It's definitely a getaway location, I don't even get cellphone service out there. Well I just wanted to put up a quick post. So if anyone is reading they won't feel totally neglected haha. See you guys tomorrow!

NEWBS

Hey guys! How's it going?

I'm a 22 year old college student from Florida who has an affinity for all things dealing with photography, fashion, makeup, digital/graphic design (I'm just learning!), cooking, crafts, puppies, kittens, movies, music, the outdoors, reality TV, and mermaids. 



I want to share, inspire, converse, and be inspired and I thought this blog would be the perfect forum.

Please be patient with me while I get the aesthetics to where I would like them!

With love and big huge computer fist bumps,
Jess
