Hey everyone! I have to do this post really quickly, but I wanted to let you know why you might not see a lot of hauls coming up.
So basically, Hadley convinced me to go on this thing called a shopping ban. You've probably heard of it and yes, it is as bad as it sounds! It means that we can't buy anything related to makeup or fashion for... wait for it... 2 weeks! We're trying to really commit to this because over the past few months, our hauls and shopping habits have been insane! It's a legit shopping intervention (that is very needed).
I thought it would be fun to share this with you guys and I want every single one of you to join me! It's a lot easier to commit to something when you have people supporting you all around :) To join me in my Shopping Intervention, do not buy anything fashion or makeup related for 2 weeks. Skincare products (such as face wash, face lotion, etc.) are excluded from the ban because without any lotion, my face would actually hurt. So if you run out of your face wash or something like that, don't freak out - those are completely excluded from the ban!
This may be easier for some of you than you expected, but it may also be a lot tougher! I'm so excited to see how all of us do! Please pass this around on your blogs, facebook pages, twitters, youtube, etc! I want EVERYONE to join :) Post your updates below in the comments section or share them with me via twitter, facebook, youtube, or email!
I hope you'll join Hadley and me for a Shopping Intervention! To find out all of the details about this intervention, click on the shopping intervention page at the top of my blog! It will explain everything you need to get started and I'll be posting any updates I have right on the page!
Have a wonderful week everyone and get started on the intervention TODAY!

Sorority Sisters Launch!
Hey everyone! I have amazing news to share with you guys! Many of you who follow me on twitter, facebook, etc... know that I've been saying I have a special announcement that would come this week. Well, here it is! Recently, Taylor from youtube (CollegeGlamoration) posted a video talking about an upcoming idea she had to create a virtual sorority. She asked for anyone who wanted to blog or do videos for the Sorority Sisters group, so of course, I knew I had to!
So let me slow down and explain what Sorority Sisters is. It's a virtual sorority that is basically a group of 40 bloggers and vloggers dedicated to giving college advice, tips, and general college information. When I applied to Sorority Sisters, I had to answer basic questions and decide if I wanted to blog, vlog, or do both. I decided to just help with the blogging part of Sorority Sisters! Since I'm not involved with the youtubers, I can't really say what their schedule for posting is exactly, so I'll just be explaining the blog part of it to you guys!
I am a weekly blogger, but some girls are only posting monthly. I will always be posting on Mondays (which means when Monday comes, you should check out my post :D)! The things I write about are mainly fashion, makeup, beauty, and then little random things- like designing your dorm. Other girls are focused on totally different topics- finances, safety, etc. So it really is a complete guide to college, but also a type of advice column!
The girls in Sorority Sisters are either juniors/seniors in high school or in college. They are a great group of girls and let me tell you, I've read some of their posts that aren't published yet, and you will definitely want to read them!
If you want to know more about the girls I'm working with, just visit the Meet the Sisters page:
http://sororitysistersblog.blogspot.com/p/meet-sisters.html
Here is the Sorority Sisters blog where we will post daily:

Here is the Sorority Sisters youtube where videos will be posted daily:

Here is the Sorority Sisters facebook page:

With this blog, I have created a second twitter:
http://www.twitter.com/SororitySisSB
I have also created a second email:
SororitySisSerena@aol.com
I hope everyone enjoys the blog and youtube! Let me know what you think too! The first blog post will be posted Monday, so that is the official launch of Sorority Sisters! My post is going to be about the top 10 items of clothing you should bring to college! I started off with a fashion post and will most likely do a makeup post next week! If you have any requests for me to post on the Sorority Sisters blog, feel free to request away! Hope you like our blog and youtube!!

Formspring!
Hey everyone! I just want to start by saying thank you for following me here! When I started this blog, I had no idea if anyone would support me, but every single one of you has made this expierence all worth it :)
Anyway, you may have noticed a little update on the right column. I have added my facebook, twitter, youtube, and formspring (yes formspring, I'll explain in a second), so that you can easily follow me AND so I don't have to post all that information at the end of every single post :)
Okay so now to the formspring news! I decided to create a formspring page because if you follow me on facebook or twitter, you know I was going to do a questions tag. Well, I decided that instead of sitting down and typing out answers to all these questions I was sent, I could have an ongoing place to answer things and VOILA...I created a formspring! I hope you all ask me anything you've wanted to know :) It doesn't have to be about me either- it can be about makeup, fashion, beauty, life, food, basically anything you can think of!
So anyway, here's my formspring!
http://www.formspring.com/SerenaBosworth
Enjoy! Oh and before I go, I have gotten a lot of requests for not only my new youtube channel (which you can find in the right side column, as well), but also to do lots of blog posts. So basically, I'm gonna be a little busy trying to get everything finished, but I will work as fast as I can to answer all your requests!
Thanks for supporting me :)

Update: Your Comments + 3 More Days
Hey everyone! So first off, I had such a great time in North Carolina! It was a lot of work, but it was all worth it :) I'm back now and trying to catch up on everything, which has been very overwhelming! Anyway, I wanted to do a quick update about some things going on this week and the next few weeks.
The first thing I want to talk about is comments on my blog posts. I read EVERY SINGLE comment and I love reading them! However, as my blog has expanded, I am not able to respond to all of them as I used to be able to :( However, as I said, I do read all of them, so if you have a question or request, still go ahead and ask about it because I will respond to those types of comments! I seriously appreciate you guys and your comments, so don't think otherwise!
Next thing I wanted to mention is that there are only 3 DAYS LEFT until I chose the winner for the $420 makeup give away!! I have been getting so many emails from you guys and I really appreiciate you entering! Some emails have made me want to cry because they're so inspirational, while others have literally made me fall to the floor because they were so funny!! I can't wait to chose the winner :D
And finally... last, but not least: I want to talk about my blog :) I want to get your opinion on the layout of it all. I'm thinking of maybe giving the blog a little redesign (nothing too major), so I want to get your feedback! If you want me to add anything (example: a new searchbar, a new gadget, etc...) or maybe move something around, just leave a comment below, tweet me, email me, or post it on my facebook wall! I would love to hear what different things you want me to add or remove!
Anyway, I have to go to work now, but I hope everyone has a wonderful week! And remember... only THREE more days until the winner is chosen!!

Update: Huge Give Away!
Hey everyone! If you follow me on twitter or on facebook, you already know the news I'm about to share. So, I got a call last night from my boss telling me about this meeting that is happening in North Carolina. After telling me a lot about it, he asked me to also attend. The only bad part about this is that the day I was supposed to pick a winner is July 10th. On July 10th, I'll be on a plane (a long plane ride may I add, from North Carolina to Los Angeles...). Anyway, it would be very difficult for me to chose a winner not being on land, so I have decided to move the day I chose a winner to a later date. Instead of July 10th, I WILL CHOSE A GIVE AWAY WINNER ON JULY 15TH. It's only 5 days, so I hope everyone can just wait a little bit longer!
I seriously appreciate each and every one of you! I wish I could give every single one of you all of the makeup!
UPDATE FOR ENTERING: So I have decided to do a little referral thing. For every person you refer to this blog, you get entered an extra time. You must have them say somewhere- either via twitter, facebook, email, or here on the blog- that you referred them to my blog. If they say that, they will also be entered an extra time. It's a win-win situation! GET EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO ENTER BECAUSE IT WILL INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING! I hope everyone likes this addition! Let me know what you think!
If you have any requests for blog posts, please feel free to request them!

Update: Hunter
Hey everyone! I know earlier I was so excited to announce my give away, but now my attention is kinda switched. As you all know, Hunter and I went to Hawaii together and for the most part, had a great time. However, we did have one sorta big fight. We got over it though and everything was normal.
Hunter's mom (who I am very close to) insisted I come to their beach home in the Bahamas. Hunter and I were going to stay in the guest house and it was all planned out. Unfortunately, I couldn't go because my sister was coming to stay with me in LA for a little while. Hunter's mom totally understood, but Hunter seemed really upset. Apparently he felt I wasn't spending time with him, and I only spent time with my family- not his. After trying to reason with him, I finally gave in and said I'd go to the Bahamas with him. The worst part of this was having to tell my sister she couldn't come to LA and stay with me. Hunter was so happy, as was his family. Something, though, felt wrong and yup you probably guessed it- Hunter and I started arguing again!
After having a weird past few days, he called me and told me he was no longer willing to be second in my life or something like that. And then proceeded to uninvite me to the Bahamas. He said we were officially over and hung up. I will admit I cried! I mean, what girl wouldn't?
To make everything even better, I heard he already invited another girl to the Bahamas. It's been like 1 day since the break up! Who does that??
To conclude, I am now officially single and I'm looking forward to finding a guy who appreciates me AND my family!
I hope I didn't ramble too much! And I just wanted to let everyone know Hunter and I broke up because, believe it or not, people email me asking how he and I are doing. I really don't want those emails any more :/
Anyway, I hope your day was way better than mine and the give way rules will be posted soon!

Honolulu, Hawaii!
Hey everyone! I just got back from Hawaii and wanted to share some pics from my vacation! Sorry there are none of me, but I was always pictured with Hunter and he asked not to be posted on a public blog. :/
Anyway, we stayed in a wonderful beachfront home, but spent one night at a resort (mostly so we could see a luau). I hope to use some of these pictures as inspiration for upcoming beach-inspired makeup tutorials!
We went to beaches all over!
I hope everyone enjoyed this little post about my trip! I'm exhausted and will probably not do another post today. So, if you have made a request (I'm sorry to everyone who has asked for a beachy makeup tutorial - I'm working on it, I promise!), I will get to that hopefully by the end of this week! Thank you to everyone who reads my blog! <3
