Burn With You

February Favorites 

Hello Lovelies. I'm Jordan Nicole :) February has been a busy one for me! I managed to get sick for an entire week in the middle so things have been a bit chaotic on my end. As I have been busy and trying to stay caught up with my daily life my blogging has slipped away from me a bit. I have loads of things ready to post though so I am going to be jumping back in for the month of March. My favorites were not vast this month but the things that I loved were very loved so everything on my list was very much adored this month.

Fashion

I bought this sweater before I went to NYC to take on the trip. It was such a deep green and I didn't own anything like it. It turns out it is in my color wheel and it has become one of my all time favorite sweaters. I pair it with my mustard scarf and just feel so pretty. I get so many comments on how well the combo suits me.

Accessories

I have had this scarf for a year or two and I simply adore it. It falls in my color wheel so I just feel pretty when I wear it. People notice how well the color compliments my skin too. If you haven't looked into what color season you are I highly recommend doing it. You really do feel prettier when you are wearing colors that compliment your natural coloring.

Alfie Deyes' "Sorry About My Hair" Beanie


One of my favorite Youtubers Alfie Deyes (Pointlessblog) released limited edition merchandise in January and it came in the mail this month. As I live in Texas I was worried I wouldn't be able to wear it at all this year but it has been so cold here! I was actually thrilled with the cold weather because I just love the clothes in winter time. Anyways, I have been wearing this beanie and everybody that sees it instantly loves it. It is adorable. I even put this picture up on my Instagram and Alfie himself liked it. It was a very thrilling moment of the month :)

Beauty

St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub 


This scrub exfoliates my skin on a whole new level. I can't use it every day because it really does scrub away the top, icky layer of your skin and it will dry your skin out if you use it to much, but I use it every other day. It leaves my skin feeling amazing and it smells great too! 

Too Faced Beter Than Sex Mascara 


This mascara is exactly what the name suggests. I wasn't a fan of the name Better Than Sex when I first found this mascara but Too Faced simply had to choose that name because it is the best description for how amazing this product is. I am in love with this mascara. I already know that it is going to become a staple piece in my makeup for years to come. 



I have always worn eyeliner on my water line & tight line but I have never had an eyeliner that stayed in place all day (or for more than a few hours). This purchase has to be one of the best I've made when it comes to makeup because this eyeliner stays where I put it all day long. It is so waterproof that it is almost difficult to take off at night. I have taken to using it on my tight line almost every day and am loving it. It also comes in more colors than black, which most lines don't offer. I am definitely a fan of this product!

Food



I love Girl Scout cookies. I mean, who doesn't?? I like all of them but my all time favorite Girl Scout cookies are thin mints. They are perfection in a cookie and I look forward to them every year.

Entertainment

Good Mythical Morning 



I found Rhett & Link in the last month or two and they have definitely become a part of my daily routine. They post their videos at 6AM EST so they are always waiting for me when I wake up. I love starting my day with their videos. I never fail to laugh. Having a cup of coffee and getting ready while I watch their videos is the perfect way to start the day :)



I found this show because my Mama & my cousin Ellie were both watching it and told me it was adorable (separately and on the same day, it was weird). I was behind so I caught up on demand and am now hooked. It is set in the 90s and I grew up in that time period so it is such a fun and nostalgic show. The music is great and the storyline is even better. This show really is adorable and I highly recommend it. You know a show is good when it starts to replace some of your staple shows. It was an instant favorite!

My list this month was short but also sweet! I hope you enjoyed it and maybe got some recommendations from it. I am going to get back to blogging more frequently as I have had more than one massive shop and am collecting loads of makeup I want to review. I even have some clothing things I am planning. I hope February was wonderful for y'all and that March is even better!!

Welcome To New York

The Trip Of A Lifetime 


Hello Lovelies. I'm Jordan Nicole :) Back in December my parents took me on a trip I had been dreaming of since I was a little girl. I finally got to live out my dream of going to New York City. It was everything I could have ever dreamed it would be and so much more. I was worried in the weeks leading up to the trip that I had built up NYC in my mind so much that I was guaranteed to be disappointed. I was so unbelievably relieved to learn that I had been worried for nothing. The city is amazing. If you have ever dream of taking a trip there, I promise it is worth it.

I don't want to ramble on and on about my days spent there (because trust me I could write a novel about the whole experience) so I figured I would just let the pictures I accumulated throughout the week (not all of them, of course, as there were over 600 on my phone alone!) tell the story of one of the most magical experiences of my life.

Day One: December 15, 2014

Departed from Austin. Arrived in NYC. First Taxi Cab Ride. Our Hotel. Times Square. The Empire State Building. Pedicab Ride. Gray Line Christmas Lights Bus Tour.



















Day Two: December 16, 2014

9/11 Museum & Memorial. The Statue of Liberty. Ellis Island. The Lion King.
























Day Three: December 17, 2014

American Museum of Natural History. A Gentlemen's Guide To Love & Murder. Radio City Christmas Spectacular. 





















Day Four: December 18, 2014

Central Park. Rockefeller Center Tour.  St. Patrick's Cathedral. Top of the Rock. Mamma Mia. 
























Day Five: December 19, 2014 

New York Public Library. The Flat Iron. Freedom Tower. 9/11 Memorial. Trinity Church. Wall Street. New York Stock Exchange. Grand Central Station. Departed NYC. Arrived in Austin.
























Words can not express the way being in NYC feels. I hope that the pictures captured a bit of the magic. Going around Christmas time just made the entire experience that much more amazing. The decorations are spectacular and the weather (though cold) was perfect almost every day we were there. I can't thank my parents enough for being so generous. They fulfilled one of my oldest dreams. They are wonderful and gracious people.

If you dream of going to NYC then I urge you to find a way to make that dream come true. It will be everything you want it to be.
