Some Of My Favorite Things: Winter

Every few months I try & jot it down and share with y'all, what I have seen & others that I have already bought! These are a few of my favorite things for sure!

Also can you believe, Thanks giving is tomorrow! Crazy how time flies! It just seems like the year just started and now it is moments from starting a new year!

Anyway, here are the favorites I have-

 This is the prettiest nail polish, and I can't wait to wear it! I'll be  wearing it next week as a matter of fact! You can find it here.

Yep, My all time favorite sweatshirt! It's adorable! I can't wait to purchase this sweatshirt. It's super long & it'll be super cute with skinny jeans or leggings and boots! Uber cute & cozy! You can find them here.

These are my most favorite boots ever! I found these by accident and I adore them! They're comfy, cute & just what I wanted! I've been thinking about buying another pair even! You can find them here.

I've used this stuff once before and I liked it...ALOT! It's a lot gentler on my nails than gel or shellac from a salon but it stays on just as long as the shellac! It's easy to use, but there are a lot of steps to it. But totally worth it! you can find it here. (Instructions: DIY gel nails. (1) 2 coats of Gelous Advanced Nail Gel Coat. Wait 2 minutes between each coat (2) 1 coat of nail color. Wait 4 minutes. (3) 1 coat of Gelous. Wait 2 minutes. (4) 1 coat of nail color. 4 minutes (5) Apply a top coat.)

I saw this on instagram and I knew I had to get one at some point! They are soooo cute! I already like deer taxidermy and this is fake, so even better! No Bambi's were hurt in the making of these! You can find it here.

Just bought this Lip butter today, I have not used it as of yet, but I am anticipating to use it! It appeared to be matte when I smeared it on my hand, we'll see! You can find here.

I saw a Rebecca Minkoff bag like this on Fleur De Force's Vlog And I liked it so much, I have been dreaming about it since! and will be getting it shortly.You can find it here.

Apps: I am loving Terri Savelle Foy's Dreams & Goals. It's such an awesome app, you should get it. it's only $1.99 on iTunes.

Music: Go get Dara MacClean Petty's New album Wanted. You will not regret it! Also on iTunes. My favorite Songs at the moment are: Our only hope, Set my people free, Made, I am blessed, Good Enough. But truly, all of the songs are my favorite! So you really need this in your life! I know this girl personally and I know her heart, She's amazing!

Not until December 27th, will I write on the schedule again! I have a treat for you coming Sunday, December 1st!!! Get Ready! You'll like it, I promise!

Love you all and Happy Thanksgiving! -Ryn

Style Fyle: my uniform

Style Fyle: my uniform by rynb featuring a nail polish

This is definitely an outfit I will partake in! The only things I do not have at the moment are: the tee, tan Chelsea boots & the transport bag. But it won't be long now. But I can totally see his as a "uniform" of sorts. I just bought a pair of black leather Chelsea boots. And I'll be getting/making the tee soon... And I put the bag on my Christmas/Birthday... So, isn't this such a cute outfit though?! 

Black high-waisted skinny jeans & hi-lo baggy tee which you can tuck the shirt in front, or let it hang loose. Once you have the basics down, Then you can add on your accessories. Boots are a standard for fall. Sometimes winter. Then pick the bag you want. Then which I just saw this idea was to polish your nails in black or dark grey (Butter London Union Jack black & chimney sweep are my faves) and then add matte top coat to the nail color! Then add your lip color! (Favorite colors: Tarte lipsurgence in exposed and MAC rebel lip color) 

Then, you can add a leather waterfall jacket or a cardigan. 

And I've been liking my hair right now and I just like it to hangloose. But if I'm on 3 day hair, I may opt for a messy bun instead! 

Let me know what your style uniform is! 

Have a great week! -Ryn

Beauty Find: $10.98 mascara

Just yesterday started a fabulous sale on mascara at one of my favorite beauty stores around, beauty brands!!! $10.98 for at least 8 different high end mascaras! I went in yesterday, but I couldn't make up my mind, and I had made up my mind one of two things would have happened. 1. I would stayed until they closed for the day or 2. Bought all of the mascaras that are participating in the sale... Neither one was going to work, so I went on my merry way... And then promptly looked at reviews online. 

I'm one who loves volume on my lashes. The more va-va-voom on my lashes, the better! (That and lipstick...) 

So I think I've made the decision of which one I'm getting...(yes, I'm only getting one this time...well, I think!) I think I'm either going with the:

Tarte gifted Amazonian clay smart mascara

DuWop lash venom

Per-fekt lash perfection gel

If you're not sure you have a store near you, or you want to participate in this amazing deals, go to: www.beautybrands.com and check it out!!!

Also, Butter London made it to Beauty brands, and I am such a happy girl, because I just adore butter london and I told one of the sales associates last year, that the only thing that I would LOVE about beauty brands even more would be if they started carrying Butter London! And they did! The entire collection, beauty & their nail line!!! Whoop whoop! 

P.s. Just. The other day, my sister Heather texted my that www.zulilly.com was have a sale of 3 Butter London's for $26! Pretty good deal I might add, since it would cost you $45 otherwise, if you had purchased it through a retailer. But anyways, so all the sets I was looking at & thinking about getting was surrounded around a metallic charcoal grey color called chimney sweep. Well, I ended up not getting the zulilly bunch....but, as I was going through my nail polishes for the preparation for last Fridays DIY painted bobby pins, I discovered that I already own chimney sweep! Yippee! It was like a mini Christmas for me! So happy! 

And one more thing, beauty brands also has a sale going for $9.98 hair sprays... I would check it out if I were you! 

And they also have Deborah Lippmann nailpolishes 50% off right now! Because they had to make room for Butter London! ; )

DIY Friday: colorful bobby pins

So, I haven't been using too many bobby pins lately... But now I might! These remind me of Kate Spade a lil bit! And they are adorable in your locks!

 These are so cute and super simple to do! 

What you'll need:

Bobby pins (I used the fatter ones, but try the skinny ones, it may work!)

A sheet of paper (or a catalog... Thank Mackenzie-Childs!)

Nailpolish (I know I used my Butter London...)

Topcoat

-BEFORE-

Polishes I used: 

Butter London; Wallis, Shag & Rosie lee

Savina; blue for you, dream & envy

Opi; gift of gold

( I must say the glitters are totally my favorite!)

-AFTER-

1. Get the bobby pins, slide them onto the sheet of paper.

2. Use your polish, and polish the bobby pins. 

3. Use topcoat to seal it.

4. Let dry. 

5.Ta-da!!!! You now have fancy bobby pins to pin back your beautiful do! 😄

Hope you enjoy and happy Friday! -Ryn

DIY Friday: nailpolish wheel & watermelon refresher

This post is a third of a beauty find, a third part recipe and a third DIY Friday! It's the perfect DIY for a beauty guru! 

I started this task a few weeks ago when I started organizing my nailpolishes. And that was a task in and of itself! But I had some polish wheels, that my friend holly had given me months ago. And well, since I don't always remember what colors are in my collection & I want my colors at my fingertips so I can see which ones i want to use,  this is the perfect solution. 

You can either buy a pack of nail color wheels which holds 25 colors (Sally beauty supply sells these for about $4.00 a pack) or you can make your own with poster board & cut in a 4in. circle. 

1. Grab your nail color wheel. 

2. Separate your nailpolishes, to type of brand, Essie, opi, butter London...etc.

3. Start with the brand of your choice, and start polishing your wheels.

4. And then, identify which brand(s) is on that wheel and what the names are on the bottles that match the nail you just polished on the wheel and jot that down. 

And then I also have a refreshing drink you should try! I had a watermelon on the counter that needed to be eaten, and came up with this little refresher! (Magnolia cheese company in Fort Worth, Texas, who gave me this idea!)

You'll need:

Blender

Sparkling water

Watermelon

Ice

A Glass

Stevia (optional)

1.blend a third of a watermelon in the blender until its puréed. 

2.fill a glass with ice.

3.fill the glass half full with the watermelon purée. 

4.pour sparkling water over the watermelon purée. 

5. Add a few drops of stevia. (Optional)

And ta-da!!! It's so refreshing and super yummy! The perfect end of summer drink! 

So I hope you enjoy! Have fun this weekend! -Ryn

Beauty Find: Current Favorites

I don't really have month by month favorites, but I do have current favorites! I use most of these products on a day to day basis. Each one of these work so well with my skin and some are just really fun! A couple I haven't had for very long but I enjoy them just the same! 

Shall we get into it? I think we shall! 

1. Not your mother's Beach Babe texturizing sea salt spray. 

I know I have posted about this in another post, but I really do like this stuff! I really like how I can spritz this on my hair and walk out the door! 

2. Batiste tinted dry shampoo. 

Uuuh-mazing stuff! Great for the 2 day or 3 day hair. Plus when you spray this stuff on your hair blends well into your hair, it's great when you're on a time crunch and you don't want to look like you're prematurely graying. ; )

3. Nerium night cream. This stuff is unbelievable! So amazing! So worth the price. My skin has so improved in just the 2 months of using it. It's so moisturizing and leaves my skin baby butt soft each day I use it! I have dry/oily skin and I have had NO trouble with it irritating my skin or making it more oily. If you want more info on this product: www.styledbyryn.nerium.com.

4. Shocking Hot pink hairbands.

I heart these. They are so cute. Especially when I do a messy topknot or high ponytail. They are the perfect pink, you won't mind exposing them. If they had a whole pack, I would totally buy it! But I got like 4 or 5 in a pack with more neutrals at target. So I guess I'll have to buy another pack! : )

 

5. EOS lip balm. My absolute fave brand of lip balm (and shaving cream)! Trust me, I've tried many! I've been using this stuff for about 3-4 years and I just adore this stuff. It has a creamy texture, minty flavor & leaves your lips luscious! ; )

6. Pacifica eyeshadow palette in enlighten. Though it will work well in the fall, it's working great for me right now! With gold and the peach color, you can't really go wrong with it! It's perfect. It also stays on all day, without making you have a crease. Perfect!

7. Love & Toast,  Honey Coconut and mandarin tea.

I'm one to layer my perfume on, just loke i like to layer my clothes... I like the results usually, and I'm one to spray as much on so I can smell it too, because what's the point of having a yummy fragrance on, when you can't smell and enjoy it too! These are perfect for laying, not a strong fragrance at all but just enough that you know you smell good! 

(This is me & my sorry attempt at showing you how I spray my perfume on!)

8. Butter London nailpolish in Wellies.

This is such a fun color! I enjoyed it so much when I had it on my nails. It was super neon, but not a gross neon. I just like this color so much! It has a yellow-y cast to the green. Such a fave!

9. Philosophy clear days ahead.

This face wash is super gentle, yet so refreshing! It help keep zits at bay. And it isn't trying at all. Such a good product!

10. Maybelline great lash in I see blue limited addition. 

Perfect pop o' color! I just really like the blue. It's not a true royal blue, rather a periwinkle of sorts. But I still adore this stuff! 

Whelp! I hope you enjoyed my current favorites as much as I enjoy mine! If you want me to review a product(s), leave comment below, and I will try my hardest to review it! : ) love you all so so much!

DIY Friday: Gym Tee pt.2

Here is part dos of the gym tee! I couldn't just leave it plain, I needed something more! So I gathered my supplies and images and totally transformed a plain white tank onto a whole other level! 

What you need: 

Computer and images of your choice

Transfer paper (you can get a pack at an office supply store) 

Iron

Step 1. Find an image & quote you like ( I used Audrey Hepburn) 

Step 2. Print out the image on a sheet of transfer paper, full size. Also if you're printing out letters or quotes, you'll need to flip the quote, so it's backwards.

Step 3. Cut the excess of the transfer away. Center it on your tee. Image face down on the t-shirt. 

Step 4. Set iron on medium-high heat. Iron the transfer paper, for about 10-30 seconds in circular motion. Check a corner of it to see if its sticking. 

Step 5. Let cool for a minute. Then peel the backing off. 

Step 6. Ta-da! You have a super cute workout tee!!!

Love y'all, Ryn
