Monday Manis, Mantras, and Spring Makeup

Another Monday. This one being a little difficult after Daylight Savings Time, but hey, Monday's always have their downside. Lately, I've been falling in love with the idea of spring, and I'm not the only one. I've even been feeling unusually inspirational lately. This week's Monday post is kind of dedicated to that inspiration. I'm at a pretty difficult place in my life right now and losing myself in wise words and the amazing spring style that our world has come up with this year has been a great outlet for me. So, without further ado, here's this week's manis:

Metallics are classic and I have a feeling they'll be sticking around for quite a few seasons. :)

How adorable are these tiny bows?!

Much cuter than the crackle polishes! (In my opinion anyway)

A more springy color with a pretty pastel. Absolutely love.

I feel this nail look is either a hit or a miss. I love the colorful tips but might change the base to something lighter and more on the sheer side. Still a cool idea though!

Lately, I've been keeping an eye out for spring makeup ideas and there are a few different ones that I feel express the season the best:

I love the soft lavender hues in this one. Very wearable and breathtakingly romantic. Did I mention that I love any kind of purple?

Spring is one of those seasons that you have an excuse to pull yourself out of the winter darks and just give yourself a little glow. What better way to do that with the liveliness of pink cheeks? :)

Here's a combination of the two; pink cheeks and a soft hued yellow shadow. Gorgeous.

And now for my favorite part of the Monday posts, the mantras. I found two that I wanted to share this week that have inspired me to get on top of things lately.

Well, that's it. I hope you enjoyed this post and that your day goes fairly well.

Til next time,
