I purchased a complexion brush on a whim while at Sephora a few weeks ago and I've grown to absolutely love it. I have no idea why I wasn't using it before! I didn't want to pay $100 or so for a brush, so I grabbed this pink number at Sephora for only $7. (It's also available in purple.) You gotta do your own circling movement and all, but it totally works! I just a nickel-sized amount of cleanser on my finger, tap on the north, south, east, and west of my face (you know what I mean), and then proceed to do the circling motion all over my face. Your cleanser will get more foamy than usual, but that's normal. I use it after a workout or after a day of wearing powder or foundation. I can honestly say that my face feels smoother since I've been using it and highly recommend it!

Since I started working out on a more consistent basis, I am utilizing this app now more than ever. Think of it as... the Facebook for workouts. You add friends, you post pictures, you write notes, you "update your status"... but it's all about your workouts. The one thing that I know can bug people is the constant "Oh look at me, I'm working out!" and it floods all of your feed. Your Instagram, your Facebook, your Twitter, and whatever else are all feeds of workouts. I tryyyy not to do that. The most you'll publicly get from me is me complaining about getting up early to workout on Twitter (I hate it, but I still try to do it.) or a snap of what I'm doing for less than 5 seconds. Beyond that, I try not to post every single run or walk, or every time I weightlift or circuit train, because that would get annoying. RunKeeper is specifically for workouts and so I have no shame of posting what I did. It helps me keep track of my workouts to see how much hours I've put in that week and to keep myself accountable. I've basically turned RunKeeper into my workout journal and it's really helping stay focused and consistent with working out! It also can GPS track your walk/jog/run so you can just put your headphones on and enjoy the outdoors! I can really go on and on about it, but I'll save you and won't, but if you want a little accountability in working out for yourself, get this FREE app!

Superfruit's 1989 Medley

As I've mentioned before, Superfruit is just amazing. They've done this for Bey's album and they're doing it again for 1989! Their voices are just insane and I appreciate their awesome talent. As roomies and besties, they're able to be in tune with one another and gel their voices so beautifully. I won't go on, because you just need to hear it. Click on the video or if you're on your phone, click here. Enjoy!

And that concludes this week's #WOW! Happy hump day!

God has given us self-control. We have the ability to have self-control. We have God-given self-control that can inhibit our (and specfically my) buttons from being pushed, should we choose to use it.

Choose not to be angry. Choose to think about it. Choose to remain silent. Choose not to sin. #notetoself

Another trend that I love is what I like to call the 2/3 rule. What is that? It's the proportion of skin showing. Showing a lot of leg? Then show a little less cleavage. Rockin' a deep V? Then make that hem line longer. Also, I'm love with high slits. (Thank you, Angelina Jolie and that Atelier Versace dress.) Here's my faves that displayed that perfectly.

Lastly, I love the color black. I can't get enough of it. I'm the kinda girl that does not have to wait for fall and winter to wear black. Literally half of my closet is filled with black clothing, down to workout clothes and underwear. But anyway, here's to #allblackeverything.
