Living in Naples Italy

Moving to Naples has been the best experience of my life. Although it did take a while for me to get used to I now LOVE living here. Getting to travel all around Europe is amazing and I wouldn't change anything.
There are many different kinds of things all over the internet about Naples. Some good and some bad. To me if you look past all the trash you're good to go. It really is a beautiful city and the food is amazinggggg! (yes those extra g's are needed) Naples or Napoli is where the oh so famous pizza was invented. One of my favorite pizzeria's to eat at is L' Antica Pizzeria da Michele. It is quite the famous place, the movie Eat Pray Love with Julia Roberts has a few scenes in the restaurant and there are a lot of famous people that have visited it. The wait is always at least an hour long but it is so worth it.

There are also a few surrounding places that I love! My favorites are The island of Capri which is amazing, as well as the Amalfi Coast. They are so beautiful, the pictures speak for themselves. The first 2 pictures are of Capri and the panorama is our favorite little secret spot on the Amalfi Coast.



Living in Naples has been a dream come true. My husband and I have had so many opportunities that many people will never get to experience, and we are extremely grateful. We have gotten the opportunity to live in an amazing city with so much to offer, and we have been able to travel all over Europe. 

Always remember if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!
Until next time!

Fall Fashion Favorites

It is finally time! Fall is one my favorite times of the year! It means that were getting closer to Christmas (my favorite Holiday) and we are going to get some cooler weather! I love wearing boots, darker colors, and of course sweaters! I picked out 3 outfits that are my favorite for this time of year!


Okay so I love this outfit! I think it looks so cute and comfy and casual, I am obsessed. I think it would also look super cute with a sock bun instead of straight hair, but either way it's still cute! The sweater is American Rag and is a thick knit in a light pink color. It's so comfy and warm! The white tank under it is Kensie. I also have this tank in black and I love them! They are seriously the softest material and they just fit perfectly. The leggings are also American Rag and they are so cute and thick! They have a piping down the middle of the leg, and some more little details down at the ankle. I love them, they look like leggings but they fit more like jeans and they are so comfy! The boots are from a local market here in Naples and they don't have a brand... But I do love them. Some chestnut colored boot would also look really cute, or maybe some little ankle boots!






This scarf. OMG. Obsessed. It is my favorite color right now like a burgundy maroon color. I just love it. It is so soft and so light I love it. It is an infinity scarf, which I really love. Last year I bought a infinity scarf and it was so chunky and bulky it was hard to wear with any type of jacket or anything, which I hated. But this one is so perfect and isn't bulky at all. The brand is Capelli and I paid $15. What a bargain! You could seriously wear this with anything. I wore it with a long sleeve white Lucky Brand shirt, with some Lucky Brand dark jeans, and chestnut colored over the knee boots from Alloy.


As you may know from one of my recent blog posts I talked about the color Army green. Obsessed! This jacket is amazeballs. I just love it. It is from Kohls and I believe I got it on sale for like $30. It is a very light jacket, so perfect for those fall days when it's not too color or to hot... You know what I mean. Anyways, I paired it with just a plain white tank from Forever 21 and the same American Rag leggings and just a pair or boots. The jacket has some super cute lace detailing on the shoulders, a draw string around the middle so you can pull it tighter or looser whatever you prefer. You could also wear this with your hair in a sock bun and then when its cold out with a scarf. Love it!









I hope you enjoyed reading about some of my fall fashion favorites, and hopefully you get some ideas for some cute outfits! If you have any questions about the clothes or anything else feel free to ask!

All time beauty favorites!

So today I decided to do a post on some of my beauty favorites! 
Okay, so these are some of my beauty favorites and things that I use literally everyday. (Besides the nail polish, it is just my favorite color for fall and winter (: ) 

The first thing I want to talk about is the Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil. I ordered this in a little gift set about 2 maybe 3 months ago. Now I'm not really a big fan of moisturizing my face every night, I know it's bad and I should, but sometimes I get a little lazy or just forget. Oh well. This Argan oil is so amazing though, I love it! Before I go to bed I put a few drops on my hands and then massage it into my skin. It does feel a little oily when you put it on, but it is an oil soo..... But on a serious note, when you wake up the next morning your face will feel amazing! I can also really notice a difference on my lips when I wake up after applying this at night. They also feel amazing!

Product numero 2: Milani Baked Blush in 01 Dolce Pink. I freaking loveeeee this blush! I literally use it everyday, and I am obsessed. The color is amazing, there isn't too much shimmer and it goes on nicely. I seriously don't have one bad thing to say about this product! You can find it at most drugstores and I think it's less than $5! What a deal. Love it!

My 3rd and 4th favorite are both by Loreal, the Power Volume Collagen Mascara in the color 676 Black, and the Voluminous Original in Blackest Black. Both of these can be purchased at the drugstore and are under $8 (at most stores). Okay so I'm going to start of by saying that I have used the Voluminous mascara forever and I seriously seriously love it. It's kind of a big deal for me to stick to one product for a long time. I like a variety and I love to try new products. This mascara I have repurchased probably 10 times. It makes my lashes long and beautiful, and it isn't clumpy or gross at all. I just love it :). Now the power Volume I also love. It is my first time buying it and I have nothing bad to say about it. I usually put a few coats of this one on first, then follow up with the Voluminous Original. The brush on the Power Volume is a lot bigger and I think it gives them a nice coat before I put the original on. I love them together and I well for sure repurchase them. 

Okay number 5! The Little Black Beauty Book Day Edition by E.L.F.
I freaking LOVE this pallet. I use this everyday. It has pretty much every color that I personally love to wear on my eyes. It also has some great colors for highlighting under the brow. I particularly love that it has shadows with shimmer and matte shadows. It has so many great colors I just love it. The quality of the shadows are really nice. Some colors are a little chalky but not all of them. It is so worth the money I love it. It was only $6 on the E.L.F website. Like whaaaaaaat. That is crazy. GO BUY IT! :)

The next favorite is also and E.L.F product, and it is the Eyebrow Kit in Medium. I love this. The colors are awesome and match my eyebrows perfectly. Nothing bad to say about this product. Love it :) You can find it on the E.L.F website for $3. Crazy. I loveeee their prices!

Now for my last 2 favorites! The Revlon Colorstay Whipped foundation in 240 Natural Beige. I love this stuff. This is my 3rd jar and I love it. It goes on nicely, it is so easy to blend in and I love the way it feels on my skin. Which is weird because I usually don't like the way foundation feels. I would say it is medium coverage, but for me that is perfect. I have normal skin and it is perfect on my skin. If you're a bit oily you might have to set it with some powder but no biggie. Love this stuff. It is a must buy! 
The last is a nail polish that I love for fall and winter. I just think it is the prettiest color, I just love it! It is the Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail color in 210 Flirt. Love it.

Well I hope you guys liked this post, and maybe it inspired you to go out and try something new! If you have any questions about any of the products mentioned feel free to ask. :)

XOXO

Vacation in Barcelona!

My husband and I went to Barcelona a few weeks ago, and it was amazing! It was our first time in Spain and we loved it! I have seriously never seen so many beautiful people in one place all at once. It was a beautiful, clean, and modern city! We stayed in a hotel right next to Placa Espanya which was so very conveniently located right next to the subway and all bus stops. We rode the subway everywhere (Fun Fact- it was my first time riding a subway!). We were there for 3 days and we bought the 10 rides pass I can't remember how much it was but I believe it was under 15 euro, and it was perfect. We did walk a lot but that was okay for us, especially because of all the food we ate while we were there!

If you are traveling to Barcelona make sure you go to the La Boqueria market. It is amazing and I wish I could just live in it. It is kind of hard to explain what it's like and do it justice, but its basically like a bunch of food vendors with legit setups... Does that make sense? I loved all of the fresh fruit and fruit juices the had, and I loved that they had a vendor who sold all Organic food! 

Another place we went to was the Barcelona Aquarium. It was super fun (especially if you're traveling with children) and it was only 20 euro to get in and see everything. They had basically every kind of fish, sharks, and my favorite..... PENGUINS! I don't know why but penguins are just so cute and weird looking, I just love them. :)
 

Okay so after you stuff your face at the La Boqueria market and the go stand on the moving sidewalks in the aquarium and see the cute little penguins, go to the Park Guell. Some of the coolest pictures I took on our trip were from this park. Its a bit of a hike to get to but its so worth it (you can take a taxi if you want). They have a bunch of different structures to look at and the park is huge. I'm just going to let the pictures do the talking and showing...? I don't know.

   

So then of course you have to hit the famous and super touristy spots like the Sagrada Familia and La Ramblas. And don't forget to go to the beach! We went and just walked around because we didn't bring bathing suits (OOPS!), but it was really nice. (Beware of topless women on the beach.) ;) Like I said we absolutely loved Barcelona, and if you ever go i'm sure you will love it too!
XOXO

First blog post?

So the day has finally come. After finding my latest hobby (watching beauty videos on Youtube) I have become quite obsessed with everything beauty (of course) and everything internet. Now I will admit writing my first blog post is quite weird. I'm currently sitting on my couch, texting my husband who is at work asking him what I should write. He replies with "You could talk about your move to Italy.", then I reply with "But do I introduce myself or what? Because I'm not really talking to anyone.". Then he says "Well you could tell your mom about it, and then she will read it."......... He's so cute. So I am going to introduce myself, to all of you. Whoever that may be. My name is Kassi, I am 20 years old, married to my lovely husband Trevor. Trevor and I are currently living in Bella Napoli (Naples, Italy), and we are originally from San Diego, California. So theres a little background information for ya. ;) So this blog is so originally called Everything Life. You may ask why.. I also ask myself that same question. I am just a lover of so many things, this is basically going to be about everything I love and hopefully you will love it too! Things that I am currently obsessed with are anything in the color maroon and army green OBSESSED! I also am currently obsessed with big chunky knit sweaters, and cream eyeshadows. Random enough yet? So before I start rambling on about myself, I shall stop this post now and continue tomorrow... (maybe) 
XOXO
