A New Hobby

About a month ago, out of nowhere, I decided that I wanted to get a sketch book and just start drawing. When I first purchased it I did a few sketches that looked no better than 4-year old Alyssa's drawing.

After doing a bit research (combined with a lot of free time while answering phone calls at work) I started trying to improve my skills to see what I was capable of.

I've always been into the arts and admired those who could paint, sculpt, draw or taking amazing photographs. Although I studied a bit of art, I never excelled in any particular field because I wasn't driven and had thus never really tried my hand at drawing.

So today I've decided to share some of the sketches that I've been working on in the past few weeks and hope to get some feedback so please leave a comment below with what you think!

Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm Review

The last while I haven't been bothered to wear a lot of balms or lipstick but decided it was time to change that with the recent gorgeous spring weather. It's the perfect time to change up your look a little bit and add some colour.

I'll be honest, when it comes to lip colour I tend to air on the side of caution and stick to light pinks or red. Purples, oranges, fluorescent pinks and other psychedelic colours freak me out a little bit. This time though I was on a mission - to buy something peachy or orange. I watched one of Zoella's recent vlogs in which she is wearing this exact colour and I thought it was so pretty (although nothing really looks bad on her at all).

Some of This, Some of That

This weekend was rather uneventful. Other than going for lunch with Kristen, the majority of my time was spent studying.

Healthy Apple Cinnamon Pancakes

As I mentioned in my last post I've been on somewhat of a health kick lately. I made these the other day and they are a much healthier alternative to the traditional pancake.
