Latourell Falls

Before school started I went on a solo hike to the Latourell Falls. It is the first water fall after the Vista House on the Historic Columbia Highway. You can take the Vista House exit or you can take exit 28 on I-84 then turn right. You'll see it on the left side and it is pretty noticeable so you won't miss it. This is a nice place to go to if you are not able to hike far because the Latourell Falls have an lower fall and upper fall, which takes about an mile to get to.

These pictures are in order of the path that I took which I hiked to the upper fall first then I went into a loop to go back to where I started then I went to the lower falls. For the lower fall there is no hike needed, all you have to do is go down a set of stairs and you'll instantly see the fall.

I think the lower fall is the most beautiful one out of the two and you can get more close and personal to the waterfall than the upper fall. There are a lot of people so come early or maybe later in the day. There is a park where you can have picnics which is nice if you go an outing with your family. :)

I just wanted to make this post short because I'm just a little behind studying but I wanted to post this one up so I hope you enjoy it! This is probably one of my favorite falls in the Gorge that is easy access. I hope you guys have a nice day :)

Vista House

If you ever visit Oregon and want to see a little bit of its wonder but don't want to really hike for it then I think you'll enjoy Vista House at the Gorge that is part of the Historic Columbia River Highway Scenic Byway. All you do is drive up to the Vista House viewpoint and you'll see the beautiful Gorge but in my opinion the Gorge gets more beautiful the more down you go the river.

Overall I still think its an awesome viewpoint to visit because of the beautiful house and the view. When I went there was a lot of people but at this time of the year they'll probably be less because of the weather but I'm sure theres parking for everyone :)

A short post but somethings are meant to be short and simple. The weather in Oregon has been rather really rainy so I haven't been outside, plus there school, but I've have some places in mind to visit despite the weather. Stay tune! Until next time :)

Review: LUSH lip scrub - love thy lips!

I'm back again with another review! Lately I've been into lipsticks, I'm not really a lipstick kind of gal, but I just thought I would step outside of my bubble a bit. A bought a few(maybe more than a few...) lipsticks to try out but when I tried them on it didn't look right. My lips looked chappy when I applied lipstick on, especially pink lipsticks. Of course the only solution to fix this ratchet look (xD) is to have my lips exfoliated.

I know there are homemade lip scrubs out there but I've tried it once and it was just to messy for my taste. I believed I tried making the homemade lip scrub out of sugar, honey, and vaseline but I just end up throwing it away it didn't do my lips justice. Then I've tried scrubbing my lips with a toothbrush but I didn't like the idea and it hurts my lip's skin, but I think brushing your lips would be the cheapest option for exfoliating your lips.

In the end I decided to go buy a lip scrub from LUSH because I've read so many good reviews about their lip scrub. I went to my closest LUSH boutique and purchase the Mint Julips lip scrub for $9.95. One thing that I like about LUSH is that they're products are all made of natural ingredients. Mint Julips is made out of castor sugar, jojoba oil, vanilla extract, etageres oil, peppermint oil, and limonene. There are two more kinds of lip scrub, Bubblegum and Popcorn, but I chose Mint Julips because I like that cooling feel after you scrub your lips like the feeling after you brush your teeth :D

I've been trying this product since the beginning of this month and it makes my lips flawless! At night time or in the morning I use the LUSH's lip scrub, every other day, and apply lip balm after wards. Thus making my lips looking kissable and free of a chappy look.

Also a little cool little fact about LUSH's lip scrub is that they are edible so if you want you can just eat it right out of the jar or from your lips ;P

- LUSH's Mint Julips lip scrub $9.95

Down to business I would overall rate this bad boy 5 out of 5! Because it is that freakin awesome of a product. Forever repurchasing!

What's a #GIRLBOSS?

Hello there! I just want to let you guys know what I've been enjoying! It's not make-up related or anything, it's a book! I've finished reading this hilarious/serious and such an inspiring book called #GIRLBOSS by Sophia Amoruso, the founder of Nasty Gal. Sophia writes about how her life was before, during her start of her company, and currently of Nasty Gal. For those who do not know Nasty Gal, no its not a pervert site, it is a clothing store that sells women clothing online. Sophia built Nasty Gal from the ground up by starting her own online store on Ebay then from there it grew into a multimillion dollar company and she talks more in depth about how she did it in her book.

Not only does she talk about her company she also talks about her life before Nasty Gal and about what kind of person she was back then. Her talking about her self before Nasty Gal made her more relatable to me because I feel like even though I may view myself different from others that I too can also make it big in the world and that I do not need to be the same as everyone else. If a book can make me feel pretty damn special and inspire me to work my ass off then that book needs to be shared because not all books can do that! Sophia pretty much tells you how to be a #GIRLBOSS, hint her title, and how to work in the real world.

Plus this book is such an extremely easy read, I basically breeze through this book while at the same time memorize the things this book has to offer. It is not one of those books where they tell you how to build your own company, its about how to be a #GIRLBOSS. If you do not know what a #GIRLBOSS is then read it I'm not going to tell you.

So get this book and read it! I highly recommend it. Guy or girl, it doesn't matter, this book will change how you view things in life and inspire you to work harder than ever.
