Hey y’all. I’ve been taking a little bit of a blogging break… yes, again. I wanted to do a quick little update for a little bit of an explanation. July held my one year blogaversary! Now, I haven’t posted anything on it yet. Because, I only purchased my domain in July. It took me until September to actually post. So I will be officially celebrating in September, because that’s when I feel things really started. This year… I redid my blog! In case you haven’t noticed, my blog has a new look! Along with that…
New makeup is one of my favorite things. Ulta recently had a one day, online only, 20% sale good on all items, including prestige brands. They don’t have 20% off prestige brands often, but I love when they do. I purchased a few items from the sale, and I’m excited to share! I’ll let you know which products I’ve tried so far, and how I feel about the ones I’ve tested. Smashbox primer water was definitely on my list. My face is dry, so any hydration I can add…
Hey y’all, just a reminder that if you’re a beauty insider, the sale starts today! I’ll be sharing my haul in a couple of days when my products come in, but I just wanted to send out a couple of reminders. If you are rouge, the sale is November 4-7. If you are just VIB, the sale is November 11-14. BUT. Remember that today only, if you are rouge, you can share your discount with a friend! I have a friend that’s coming down tonight and I’m sharing…
I’ve had some pretty good Halloweens in the past, and this year was no exception. This may go down in history as my favorite so far. I celebrated Friday through Monday, and Halloween did not disappoint. My best friend since second grade got engaged a few months ago, and wanted to host a Halloween engagement party. The theme was Heroes & Villains. I already had a costume, but I had another party Saturday night, so I wanted to do something different Friday night. I already had a cat mask, so I decided to be Catwoman (seiously, such an…
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…
