Tonight I attended a philanthropy event called the Lady of the Leges. This event was put on by my boyfriend's (Ryan) fraternity. Basically it was a competition between 5 sorority women vying for the title of the aforementioned "Lady of the Leges". I had the privilege to attend this event along with Ryan (even though we are both alumni members of our organizations) and got to witness the most amazing performance from my sorority sister, Elzaan (who won Best Skill, once you watch the video, you'll know why, and 3rd Place overall.) She sang an aria about love, IN ITALIAN. Absolutely beautiful..click below to see for yourself!
What true talent sounds like..

Make your MARK.
So since I love being a mark. Rep soooo much, I plan on posting pictures/tutorials of looks I do using my mark. products. I have been a mark.Representative for about 5 months now and I absolutely love it!

HOW DO MY CUSTOMERS LIKE IT?
One of my good friends purchased the entire foundation collection (Speedway concealer, foundation, powder and bronzer) and she LOVES IT!! I was so happy because she is used to using MAC products (verrrry $$$!). She was shocked she got so much for so little money! A llloooot of my gal pals have been buying mark. makeup, apparel and accessories from me and they just LOVE it (which of course I love hehe). Im so glad they are happy with their purchases!!!
Look for more mark. makeup reviews and tutorials in the future!

LUSH Haul and Review
OK, sooo today I went to the mall and bought my very first stash of Lush! If you are not aware, Lush is a organic, fresh, handmade cosmetics brand that I *believe* originated in Canada. ITS AMAZING. There are no chemicals in ANY of their products, everything is all-natural :)
The first product I bought was a soap called The Godmother and what they do at Lush is they actually cut however much you want off this huuuuuge slab in the store and you buy it by the pound. I bought 1/4 lb. and the sales associate told me it will last about 2 months. I used it tonight and it lathers really well. This soap smells kind of like Swedish Fish candy..lol..it is glooooorrious!! Its also a pretty burgundy pink color....see? The Godmother cost me $7.29.
Next product is You've Been Mangoed and it is a bath melt. Bath melts are used in the bathtub (duh, Chilly) and they give your bath water a very smooth and milky feel. It felt sooo moisturizing!! And of course it smelled awesome..its mango! Cost me about $5.85..def a thumbs up!
Last product I bought was Strawberry Feels Massage Bar. This is my favvve product so far..it smells like fresh, sweet strawberries! Massage bars are like solid lotions made with all natural oils. I used this after my bath on my legs, arms and tummy and WOW, it felt soooo soft and I smelled delish. Its amazing how it just starts to work when you rub it on your warm skin..love it..def 5 stars!
I brought one of my sorority sisters (actually she is my lil sis in the sorority :))) and she also went Lush crazy and bought a solid shampoo bar that smelled like potpourri and cinnamon, a massage bar called Mange Too (I'm def getting this on my next trip! Smells like honey and white chocolate), Strawberry Feels, and The Godmother soap. Its our newest obsession lol.
Def check it out! The link is www.lushusa.com.Its a little on the pricey side but I think *most* of it is worth it because its all natural, smells delish and is chock FULL of nutrients for your skin.

It's all about first impressions..
Obviously this is a blog so I won't begin by saying "This is my blog, welcome!" (Haha even though I pretty much did :)) BUT I will however introduce myself in a nutshell. My name (as most of my friends address me) is Chilly. I'm 25 and I have NO idea what will happen in the next year and it terrifies me (lol..?).
In reference to the title, "Tri Beta" is what I strive to be everyday: BOLD, BODACIOUS and BEAUTIFUL. What is Tri Beta? Well, to me its being unique, fun, outspoken, confident, well-mannered, open, kind and giving. What does it mean to you?
Anyhoo, this blog exists to be my sanctuary, a place for me, my passions, my experiences, my trial/errors and my opinions, complete with fun photos and tons of exclamation points (!!!!!). My wish in writing this blog is that hopefully the reader (ehem..you) will find the thing that makes themselves feel Tri Beta :) ENJOY!!
