Fragrant Jewels recently released Wicked Gift Set, a limited edition bath bomb and candle set for Halloween. Oh. My. Gosh. It definitely went on my wish list. I ended up getting the set as a late birthday present, and I was so excited. The way Fragrant Jewels works: you burn the candle, or take a bath using the bath bomb, and a little plastic container will appear as the substances dissolve or melt, containing a ring. You can order the size you need, or say surprise me and get a random size. There are a variety of 10 rings, which…
Morning routines are something it seems many ladies my age are concerned with. We want to know how people get clear skin and how they fix their hair and how people spend their mornings. Here is my full workday morning routine! I’m usually running around like a chicken with its head cut off while I’m trying to get ready for work. As much as I would love getting up early and having plenty of time to get ready, I love sleep. I wake up, and turn off my alarm… and repeat this several times (I…
I LOATHE packing. I love to travel, but I hate packing. I’m a chronic overpacker, and it stresses me out (but not nearly as much as getting somewhere and feeling like I have nothing to wear). My packing list has to be very specific, or I will forget something, and it’s usually a full sheet of paper long. I went to Chicago over the weekend (if you want to see my trip details check out my latest post), and I thought I’d share my travel essentials. I think, for the first time ever, I…
My mornings are usually very hectic. I am not at all a morning person, and I usually wait until the last possible second to get out of bed (sometimes later than the last possible second). I have to drag myself out of bed, and then I generally take my time getting ready, and end up rushing my makeup. I used to take my time with my makeup, and do my full face routine daily. After a certain point, though, it became tiresome and I realized I love sleep more than I love looking glamorous for people who don’t…
I have a severe case of wanderlust, and my heart is always happiest when I travel. My dream job is something that allows me to travel whenever I want, wherever I want. For now, I’ll settle for trips whenever I can. This weekend, I was asked to go to Chicago with a friend. He had a wedding to attend close to there, and didn’t want to drive alone (understandably; 6 hours is a long time to drive by yourself), so he asked me to join him. He was busy at the wedding all day Saturday (thank…
Target always gets me into trouble, especially the Dollar Spot. I recently went in before a Lexington blogger meetup. I wanted to grab a notepad for the meetup, so I could give out my blog information and get others’ information. Of course I found a cute notepad… along with a few other things. In case y’all haven’t seen any other posts from me, Halloween is my favorite day of the year. So… Target Dollar Spot AND Halloween? Trouble. My wallet was screaming for help. I didn’t purchase everything I found, because…
I’ve already seen a ton of Fall outfit posts, and I’m loving all of it. My only problem is, that every outfit seems to feature one piece that’s under a certain amount… And most of those prices seem crazy to me (sweaters under $50-$100!). I like fashion, and I like looking stylish and cute. But there’s no way I’m paying $100 for a sweater. My budget definitely doesn’t allow that kind of spending for one item that I will wear a few times. I didn’…
Lately my life has been about everything Fall. One thing I’ve been extremely excited for is the return of cranberry lips. They pair well with my fair skin, and I must admit, I’m obsessed. I’m so happy that this has become a Fall trend, and I hope it sticks around! Have you been looking for the perfect shade of wine for your lips? Maybe some of these will help! All but one are drugstore, so they should be fairly easy to find! Wet N Wild Silk Finish Lipstick Shade: Dark Wine Milani Color…
Who doesn’t love a little extra money? I know I do. What’s even better than free money? Receiving free money for items you’re already purchasing. There are many apps that pay you to shop. That’s right, they send you free money for items you’re already going to purchase anyway. I’ve been using some apps for a while that send you money, either by check or through Paypal or Venmo services. These are all tested apps that I have received money for, and can personally recommend.

September was a great month. Fall officially started, I celebrated my 27th birthday, and I published my first blog post. I moved out of my first apartment after college and fully moved into my first apartment on my own. I discovered some new beauty products that I really like, and rediscovered some old favorites. I recently switched foundations. I had been using one that I wasn’t very happy with. It was making my nose and the sides of my face look patchy (most people have oily T-zones. Mine is extremely dry, and gets very patchy, making…
