Clean and Clear Fruit Infusion Cleanser!

OMG!!! this cleanser is amazing! though at first I was a little hesitant to buy it at first because my skin did not like the clean and clear morning glow moisturizer, so it made me stay away from clean and clear stuff for a couple of months at the least. BUT! when I was watching TV one day I saw the commercial for this product and knew I had to try it out. So I ran to Walgreens and saw this one! this is the purifying cleanser so it is going to help clean out your clogged pores, which it does perfectly. I have grown to like cleansers that are more on the thicker side, I don't really prefer the thin gel type of see through cleanser, I like the thicker colored ones and they seem to like my skin better as well. This product is also OIL-FREE so its not going to leave your skin feeling oily or even more dirty, It leaves my skin feeling clean fresh and smelling like orange blossoms.. When I first used this product I right away thought of the Orange Blossom scent Bath and Body Works used to make it was my favorite! So it made me so happy that I had something that smelled just like it. What is also awesome is that it has REAL strawberry seed extract in it and contains a lot of natural raw fruit juices porn right into the cleanser! (which I love). Overall this product has made my skin feel 5x softer, cleaner and a lot more fresh! I'm pretty sure they have two other cleansers but for different things; one for hydrating the skin and the other for reviving the skin!

My favorite song of the summer!

So MY absolute FAVORITE song of the entire Summer 2011 sadly.. yes my summer is over :(.. But anyways. Its by The Zac Brown Band ft. Jimmy Buffett and its called "Knee Deep". Now to be honest these two people combined I would of never clicked on this song if I saw it besides a video I was watching on youtube, because I am not a HUGE fan of country, so it would of never caught my eye, but one day I was in the car with my sister and this song came up and by the first sentence I was in LOVE!! It defines a summer song for me, its upbeat, fun and catchy, and I really love the lyrics there so fun and uplifting. Now I know The Zac Brown Band is getting popular but Jimmy Buffett? wasn't he like so 10 years ago? Maybe not for some people but as for me I would not of thought I would like his "part" of the song. But seriously his part of the song is MY FAVORITE PART! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG! and next summer I will look back on this song and I will think "ahh this is soo Summer 2011" just like what I did with the song "Teenage Dream" by Katy Perry, but personally that song never gets old, and i went to see her in concert. UHMAZING.. alright getting off subject :) and here are some of MY favorite lines from this song:

"Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair sunrise, there's a fire in the sky never been so happy, never felt so high" <3


"Sunshine gonna wash my blues away" <3 (PERSONAL FAV)


"One day you can be as lost as me change your geography and maybe you might be" <3


"When you lose yourself you find a key to paradise" <3


And that is it :) What is youur FAV summer 2011 song? Writee it in the comments below :)

Vera Bradley "Hipster" Bag! (Current Favorite Bag)

So here is my new favorite obsession, and basically my new baby, I love this thing! I also got the match wallet ( eh obsessed maybe? ) well anyways the size of this bag is perfect, and really easy for going back to school and a day out shopping as well, its the perfect bag to just throw on over your body. I hope this might give you an idea for a back to school bag, or a work bag etc! I also love that it can be a summer bag but also is a good fall bag as well with the floral pattern, but you would probably catch me sporting this bag in the winter... :) The pattern by the way is in "Happy Snails" can you spot the little snails? 

There will be one post a month on my new current favorite bag! <3 Comment your favorite vera bradley style of bag and pattern!

And so the doctors call it a "shot"

SO.. uh i'm pretty sure the title should it explain it, even though i have no tolerance for needles at all, I usually can deal with vaccines they don't usually bother me. Because I haven't had one in a good 2-3 years the stress that came over me when my doctor said "your going to need to get a shot today" every ounce of me was like HECK NO! But when it all comes down to it, its going to protect me, and I was way overdue for one... So the nurse came in.. attempting to distract me like I was a 5 year old, she said "oh your shoes are so cute, i love the little pineapple on them" (yes my shoes have a little pineapple detail on them). OH i knew what she was trying to do! I'm not 5 thank you! Even though I kinda wish it distracted me but no.. The worst thing about this shot is how worked up I got myself about it, it seriously didn't hurt the slightest bit!! seriously i'm sure you encounter more painful experiences day to day then getting a shot like the one I had today. Overall, I'm a wimp, and got really dizzy and laid myself down, Yeah did i mention i could see straight? I'm thinking what happen is I was stressing about it hurting or something happening to me after that I basically siked myself out about the whole thing, so in the end it seriously all caught up with me and it was like a wave of pure anxiety just took over, and it was pretty hard settling me/myself down. Oh i feel so bad for that Nurse.... Well thats my little adventure today, and now I am laying in bed hoping the next time i get up nothing happens.. CURSE YOU SHOTS!

Alright, hope you enjoyed my first "Blabber Blog Post"

Fashion Do's & Dont's!


FASHION MAYBE: Here is Kristen Stewart at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards, I overall think this minidress fits her style pretty perfectly, as to if i were to wear this dress its a possibility I would, Every now and a then I love too wear something outside my comfort zone, this would be the perfect! I like the detailing, even though I don't have an exact close up of the dress i'm sure its soo pretty in person! I would probably pair it with some nude pumps!


Fashion DO: I love this dress that Selena Gomez is sporting, its a silky gold color with a pretty white sash going all the way to the ground, its the perfect evening dress, I would LOVE to own this dress, its gorgeous, I think Selena Gomez usually stays in the safe ways of style and doesn't go all over the top, but also doesn't get to that Lady GaGa meat dress crazy either, she has the perfect balance and has a classy style all the time. The only thing that i'm not sure I would like is the white sash, its super long and it would be something I would always worry about if i were to wear it, but overall what a great fashion do!


Fashion uh.. DON'T!: Alright Katy Perry, this dress is craaazzy! But then again isn't Katy and her style? I mean i'm pretty sure she is rockin' the pink hair now a days.. The thing that bothers me most about the dress is the top half, I don't mind the bottom flare! the sleeve is quite interesting it looks like a black spider attacking her right arm, though in the picture its her "left arm" I think i would of liked the idea if the the dress was strapless and had the lace design all around it, but as for this no no no! but she can pull it off pretty well! 



and there will be more fashion do's and dont's to come of course! if there are some pictures you want me to debate over if its a fashion do or don't send them to me via comment, or via twitpic on twitter (www.twitter.com/mintgreenapple)

Drab Or Fab: Taylor Swift Everyday

So.. this is a little segment that I will be doing once and in a while and its called "Drab or Fab" totally cliche right? yep.

So for this first post:

 Look Number 1: This is my favorite look out of the 3, the red dress so pretty and classic, i love the shoes! perfect mary-janes complete this classic look, and the light brown bag adds total texture and edgy-ness to the outfit which you don't see to much from her.

Look Number 2: I think this would probably be my least favorite of the 3 looks, but of course Taylor can rock any look. I wouldn't exactly say that the egg plant leggings go with the whole outfit. I also am not a fan personally of mixing Black and Brown if you can pull it off totally go for it.. but as for me not so much, so I think with the black and white sweater & skirt and then pairing it with the brown leather boots throws the outfit in a way different direction then I would of liked. Even though I don't think the bag matches the look exactly its cute and totally vintage just like Taylor herself!

Look Number 3: I REALLY like this look now this is something you would catch me in on a summer day out, this is such a cute casual floral vintage inspired (of course) romper, I love rompers! I think out of all the looks in these three pictures she is going pretty vintage in this one, with the BOHO inspired headband around her head which I adore, i wish i could pull that off! and she just adds some simple shoes and what seems to be her favorite bag since she is wearing it in all three photos.

Right Above is the picture I am going left to right when counting each of the looks!

Too faced Natural Eye Palette!

I LOVEE this palette! I just bought it from Sephora a couple of days ago and fell in love! It is the perfect starter palette to any beginner to makeup, it has every color you need to complete a neutral eye! It even gives you 3 cards that explains 3 different looks you can complete with the palette! a classic look, a fashion look and a day look, i personally love the fashion look its my favorite one to wear so far probably because it has the most sparkles to it! Even though you are going to have to fork over $36.00 for this baby it is well worth your money it breaks you great quality pigmented eyeshadows and 3 different looks to achieve with it! Here is a picture displayed below of everything that the palette includes!

Comment below if you are interested in buying this product! I recommend it for any one who is going for that classy sleek perfect eye look for the day or night!
