LEGACY JYNN: March 2015

Mini haul // 3.31.15.

Hello all! It's very, very late where I am situated right now, with a cup of heavily caffeinated tea watching the 24 hours AMERICAN CANDY stream. It is finally out! You can check that out here and hopefully buy a copy. I did! 3:21 AM never felt so good. Though, I'm still yet to listen front to back, I'll get to it when I have an earnest moment.

Though I figured while I'm up, I'd write up a little post on a few things I've bought recently.

AMERICAN CANDY || 3/31/15.

As some of you may or may not know, THE MAINE has their 5th studio album coming ahead of them on March 31st - AMERICAN CANDY.

During the process of recording the album, the guys drove out in the middle of the desert to a little secluded area in Joshua Tree. They rented out a house + created some noise, accompanied by unfiltered, honest words. Along with the idea of being far out from any distractions, they held a BLACKOUT on all social media. Not a single word, photo or noise was taken/made/heard during the process (although- some did better than others on this one).

IN MY MIND

good morning / get crafty with it.

This morning I woke up with Full House on autoplay and a spur of inspiration/weird longing to create something. I did the regular - breakfast/wash up/reflection time.. like any other day. I'm actually not a big fan of eating breakfast and usually skip it (baaad) but lately I've been trying to make it a habit to eat oatmeal every morning with some sort of fruit. After all, I did read an article on an elderly lady, I think she was 100 years old.. Her advice for a healthy, happy and long life was to "eat oatmeal and stay away from men". I couldn't help but laugh.

I sit up on the little ledge by my bed quite often and I stare off looking at the view of trees smoldered in fog. I've been doing this since I was about six or seven years old, and I can't believe I still fit in the comfy little nook. Each morning, I like to sit up here and watch the sun come up/pray/read a book. I find it the most therapeutic to allow a certain frame of time in my busy day to stop and think; most days I write it all down.

Scrambled for words. || 3.17.15

I'm currently at a state of being insanely driven by the ideas in my head. I don't know how to execute these ideas. I write them down anyways. I document them. The juxtaposition of my entire imagination and reality is so sad and vastly unrealistic but I can't help it.

This is what my brain looks like today.

INNOVATION DAY // 3.12.15.

I love to make it known that the innovated and entrepreneurial mind of the modern day youth is my absolute favourite topic to discuss. A fresh mind with endless new ideas is something that isn't always seen from a first glance and is hardly evident in a world so crowded, busy; some may even argue a world so "colourless" or even "unoriginal". In this generation, sets of grandparents and even parents, like to bring up the fact that their kids and grand kids spend an excessive amount online instead of doing anything beneficial. They claim that we will never experience what real creativity is because of the digital age. But how could real creativity be defined by something that is never understood?

When the idea of 'Innovation Day' was pitched, I, just like many of these young people, knew exactly what I wanted to do and how I was going to do it. Since the thought had already crossed by mind many times before, I knew that this was my chance to learn more about the youth in the community with an in-depth opportunity. I travelled around to various groups to observe their innovative ideas and the different ways they chose to put it into action.

Where it all began... // 1 YEAR BLOGGING ANNIVERSARY

I can hardly wrap my head around the fact that this blog has been alive for one entire year. 30 entries later and I'm still here; I can't believe you guys are too. It may not mean a whole lot, or anything at all to you, but I just want to acknowledge anyone who's stumbled upon my blog, whether it be on purpose or by accident. Whether you take something away from it, or not.. It's all cool to me. I still appreciate it.

I won't lie, it gets pretty rough and motivation doesn't always come easy to me a lot of the time. Most days I wish I was as happy and occupied as most of these posts make me seem. Although, I do try to make it readable and to the least bit enjoyable for all of you. Along with the literary aspect, I try to make it as personal as possible without having to sell my illusive qualities away to the internet. That would be no fun, now would it? If you knew every single aspect and detail about me, it definitely wouldn't be as interesting to you as it may seem.

This blog was created on the sole purpose to inspire - and I'll keep saying that until the end. My passion for writing has gone up an entire notch being able to write more frequently on a different level that isn't just short stories or Shakespeare essays. I've learned to be patient. I learned about consistency. I learned that I love to learn. I always try my best with this whole idea and I get it.. I do fall short sometimes. I'm not a perfect blogger or writer, let alone, human. I could go on and on rambling about my ideas and weird concepts, but that would take me to the grave. My eyes are always open and looking for new things/stories/experiences to share and I can only hope that you'll be on the receiving end of it. Whether this turns into something or stays the way it is.. Thank you from the very bottom of my heart.

Happy 1 Year! Thanks for sticking to it.

All my love x

FREE Sephora birthday gift 2015 + review

After almost a month of procrastinating, I finally had the chance to pick up my free Sephora birthday gift. Like you know the ones they bribe you with to sign up a membership with them even though your birthday isn't relatively close? Yeah, well that always happens to me. My latest mistake was David's Tea, who incessantly sends me annoying emails, please stop! All I wanted was a free gift and now here I am clearing out my inbox. I am such a sucker for free things. Ugh.

This year's gift included two NARS lip pencils: Rikugien Satin + Cruella Velvet Matte Lip Pencils. To be completely honest with you, none are exactly products I'd choose to buy or wear, but keep in mind, like all free things, it's always a steal. Can't be too picky with that! Read on after the jump to see a couple swatches and a little review on the product!

Bargain finds / 2.21.15.

Have you guys ever taken a moment to realize how great James Bay is?! Anyways, that was a shameless advertisement to go listen to his music. Thanks James for all the endorsement money. Ha.

Back onto what we were originally talking about...

I don't think you could ever go wrong with quality, cheap clothes. Here are a few things I snagged at a couple local shops. All ranged from $2 to $13 and I say that's pretty good for the condition they were all in.

ESTHETIC SUPPLY

Hana recently launched her reconstructed clothing line earlier this year and asked me to shoot some stuff. Of course, being asked by the fashion guru herself, how could I decline. I've always been so intrigued by the driven youth of today; the motivated individuals who know exactly what they want and how they're going to do it, Hana being one of the talented rare few. She chill af and I pray to the based god that you check out her site here.

If you're into that visual stuff... here are some pics and a short video down below.
