It’s Friday! It’s felt like a long week, but it’s almost over! I’m pretty excited about this weekend, so maybe having something to really look forward to has made it drag by. I wanted to share some products that I’ve been loving lately. It’s mostly beauty, because I’ve found some really nice products, but some are “other” favorites. One of my best friends, Rachel, just started selling LipSense. She had a Facebook party before she became a distributer, and I ordered a couple of…
You can never go wrong with a Little Black Dress. I love this cute one from Old Navy. It’s simple but cute. It’s long enough for work but short and thin enough to help you survive the summer heat. As always, black goes with everything (except navy, of course), so I tend to lean toward black everything. While maroon/ merlot is definitely my go-to Winter color, mint is my Springtime and Summer color. It’s so pretty and feminine. I paired mint earrings, shoes, and a belt with this dress for a fun look…
I’m a fairly crafty person. I like to create things, and I like to make things fit my style. I’m also a thrifty person, and love a good deal. I’ve been wanting to try to create a DIY earring holder, and I finally found the perfect materials to start. If you want to find out how to create your own, keep reading! First, I needed a picture frame. Honestly, this is why it took me so long to start on this project. I like older-looking frames – ones with pretty designs on the…
I received my semicolon ring a few weeks ago. I knew it was a topic I wanted to discuss, but I wasn’t sure how I wanted to address it. Well. Today is the day. I’m posting this late, and that’s ok. Today is the day I need to post and to talk about this. Any time is a good time to talk about this, because someone is hurting at all times. “What does a semicolon mean?” You might ask. Here’s a description from Project Semicolon: “A semicolon represents a…
I’ve seen quite a few antihauls on YouTube, and thought it would be a fun post. They can be really helpful in deciding if you want to purchase something, and I enjoy watching them to see others’ opinions on products (especially makeup). Basically, I’m going to talk about palettes I will NOT be buying. There are quite a few new palettes coming out, and there have been a few come out recently. There is a lot of new makeup coming out, but I’ll be focusing on palettes. The first palette I won’…
I don’t have a lot of navy, but I like it. It’s a good color no matter the season, and this off the shoulder beauty is perfect for summer… and it’s really affordable. Paired with some tan or brown shoes, this look is perfect for a day with the girls or date night. It can be dressed up or down (it would be really cute tucked into a skirt). Both the shirt and the shoes are from Old Navy, and can frequently be found on sale (I used some Old Navy Cash to…
Hello, my name is Courtney, and I’m a makeup addict. My best friend Rachel is also a makeup addict. This is not good for either one of us, or our wallets. I got into makeup (I mean, seriously got into makeup) about 3 years ago, and it was mostly thanks to Rachel and my friend Sam. Since then, my collection has grown quite a bit. In November, Rachel told me about a YouTube series she’d gotten into, called the 12 pans of Christmas, which is part of a project pan segment. She suggested that I get…
Red and black paired together is one of my favorite color schemes for any outfit. It’s just a classic look that will always be timeless. I found a gorgeous red dress and stunning black heels that, paired together, make a gorgeous outfit. It’s perfect for date night or dressier events, and both items are so comfortable. This dress from Target is so classy. I love the high neck and the lace details on the sleeves, neck, and chest. AND it’s on sale for under $20! It’s very flowy, which makes it flattering…
*This post is sponsored by The Simple Greek. I was given the meals for free in exchange for my review, but was not compensated in any other way. A couple of weeks ago, The Simple Greek saw my 30 Lexington Restaurants before 30 post and invited me out to sample some of their menu items (their words, remember this). I love Greek food, and I’d seen some friends (mostly, Kelsey from Kabkitchen) post about The Simple Greek once it opened, and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. The menu starts with two options…
*This post is sponsored by Jord Watches. I was sent products for free but all opinions are my own. Some links may be affiliate links. Valentine’s Day is coming up. Single? No worries, we’re in the same boat. Although I’ve been single on Valentine’s Day for a few years, I still love the feel of Valentine’s Day. I love the little heart decorations, the pretty pinks and purples and reds, and the cutesie things for sale. Instead of pining and being upset about not being in a relationship on “Singles Awareness Day”, look at this…
