Gymnastics Leotard Collection!

So this is my first post relating to gymnastics. In the future I'll do other gymnastics posts, but I thought this one was a good one to start off with. I don't have many leotards, but I know I love seeing the different leos people have, so I thought you would too! I will post the link to the leotards if you are interested in them.

1.


This is one from GK Elite. As you can see I've had it for a while, hence the shimmer being worn off. 

 And the back of it

They do not have this color available anymore, but if you are interested in buying it, here is one in a different color, but same style. (Here



2.
This is from GK Elite as well. Definitely one of my favorite leos I have!

One of the best things about this leo, is that the back is a low V cut!

Check it out (Here)




3. 
From GK Elite. This is the first leo I ever got, so the shimmer is again pretty worn off. My favorite part of this leo is the asymmetrical neckline!

And the back of it...

Again, here is one in the same style but different color (Here)




4.
From GK Elite. I love the silver mystique material on this leo! Whenever I wear this at the gym, people always compliment the lace pattern on the top.

And the back...

Unfortunately this is also no longer available, but here is one that has the lace pattern and same colors (Here)




5. 
From GK Elite. This is similar to the navy blue one, just in black. Again, this is another one of my favorites!

And the back...

Purchase it (Here)




6. 
This one is from Alpha Factor. It is your basic solid color leo. This is the warm up leo my high school team uses.

The link to it is (Here)




7. 
And lastly, this is from Alpha Factor as well. This is the competition leotard my high school team uses

And here is the back of it

The link to it is (Here)
(Scroll to the bottom of the first page, and it is the one called "Angel")


So that is it for my leotard collection! I hope you all enjoyed this post!

Beauty Box 5 Unboxing | June 2014


Hello everyone!! I am back for another post. Also, today was my last day of school, so I am officially on summer break, which means many exciting posts these next few months!

So I recently signed up for the monthly subscription- Beauty Box 5. After hearing many good things about it on YouTube, I had to sign up. My first box came today and I thought I would share it with you all! If any of you have this subscription, comment what you think of yours! I'm also always looking for a new monthly subscription to try out, so comment your recommendations!
If you do not know what Beauty Box 5 is, it is a monthly subscription, which costs $12 a month. Every month you will receive a box with 5 products in it. They can be skin care/bath products, hair care, nail polish, or makeup. Most products are sample size, but sometimes you get lucky and receive full sizes!
If you want to check out this subscription for FREE the first month, enter this code: FREE614 when you are checking out, and your first box will be free.

Here is the link to the Beauty Box 5 website: http://www.beautybox5.com/

Moving on to what was actually in the June 2014 box! 






This is what the box looks like when you get in the mail. Sorry for the bad picture, I didn't want to get my address in it

This is what the box looks like when you open it. The card has the retail price of all the items, as well as a description

The first item I got was the Vita Bath Body Wash.
This retails for $7.95 for a 12 fl oz bottle. I received a 2 fl oz bottle. 
The scent of this is amazing and literally smells like cupcake frosting! I'm so excited to use this, especially if I'll get to smell like a cupcake's frosting!

Next, I received this Nicka K New York Nail Polish.
This retails for $4.99 for 0.5 fl oz. I got the full size.
I love the wand and brush of this polish, because it's going to be pretty easy to control. My one complaint is about the color, It's a deep red color, which is perfect for the fall and winter. But not so perfect for the summer. But I will definitely be using this come October! 

This is a black mascara from Glam Natural. 
It retails for $28 for a .25 oz tube. 
I just tried this out and so far I really like it! The brush is thick but small, I love how it applies. It lengthens your lashes while adding a hint of volume. 

Next, we got the Organix Coconut Water Shampoo & Conditioner.
This retails for $7.99 for a 13 oz bottle. 
Typically i don't like the foil packets, and usually throw them away or never end up using them, but I love anything coconut scented, and coconut water is yummy. So i will definitely be trying this out!

The last thing in the box was the Eslor Introductory Collection Calming Kit.
Soothing Refiner and Cleanser: $28 (2 fl oz) 
Replenishing Scrub: $28 (1.7 fl oz)
Comforting Mask: $38 (1.7 fl oz)
Soothing Cream: $65 (1.7 fl oz)
This is a great way to try out the more high end skin care products, but even if I do enjoy these, I just can't justify spending so much money on skin care. But I am pretty excited to use the scrub and mask! 


So that was everything I received in my Beauty Box 5! I hope you all enjoyed this post, and remember to leave a comment for me down below!

My First Post!

Hello to anyone reading this right now!
Glad you've stumbled upon my blog, take a look around and see if you like it! 
Just like any new blogger, I would love to hear feedback from my readers as to how I can improve my blog, so leave comments!
On this blog, I will be doing posts about gymnastics, makeup reviews, book/movie reviews, fashion related posts, and other random or more diary like posts!

Anyway, I'm going to start off by listing a few things about me, just so you can get to know me better! 


  • I'm 16 years old, my birthday was May 14th, and my last day of sophomore year is June 20th, so I'm pretty much a junior
  • I fell in love with everything gymnastics related a few years ago, and I currently compete for my high school, and practice 3 times a week at my local gym, so I don't really have a level. 
  • My favorite season is... SUMMER! No school, late nights out, the pool, beach, vacations, hanging out with my friends, netflix binging, sleeping in, and being lazy. Best part about this summer? I will finally have my license! August 14th to be exact, 56 days away! 
  • My favorite foods include; tacos, watermelon, coconut water, and any Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor!
  • My favorite TV shows include; Pretty Little Liars, The Fosters, Grey's Anatomy, Orange is the new Black, and Big Brother (super excited for season 16 next week!)
  • As for my taste in music, I love anything country! Hunter Hayes, Luke Bryan, Brad Paisley, and Florida Georgia Line are a few of my favorites! I also love bands like; Imagine Dragons, One Republic, and All American Rejects
  • I kind of have an obsession with YouTubers, specifically the daily vloggers, like the Shaytards or CTFxC!


Now time for some Pictures!
The splits!

My dog, Jessie :) She's a Norwegian Elkhound

My 2013-2014 high school gymnastics team <3

Horrible picture of me... but I have glasses! I only wear them when I'm driving or to see the board in class, but hopefully I'll get contacts this summer 

And lastly... selfies with my brother, pretty bad picture of both of us... 


So thats it for my first post! I hope you liked it!
