In 2019 I took a break from buying a lot of beauty products. I tried to be more mindful of the items I was purchasing and not just buying something because it's new and shiny. I tried to shop my stash a little more and recently decluttered a TON of makeup and beauty items that I wasn't using or that are too ol…

I've always read articles about how powerful a red lipstick was or how women have a particular outfit that makes them feel comfortable. Both items hold the idea that something you wear can give you confidence and make you present the best version of yourself.  I never felt this way about anything in my fashion or …

This was the longest month ever... I think July always has a tendency to be insanely long. We're just getting into the swing of summer, 4th of July kicks off the month and the heat really picks up. This month felt like it was eight weeks long instead of four and I'm happy to say goodbye to it! It was a difficu…

I've always been a sucker for the finer things in life and when it comes to beauty, luxury and higher end have always been my favorite. When I was first getting into the beauty space, I coveted everything I purchased from Sephora and when I shopped there, I was truly the happiest. I had drugstore makeup that I lik…

I took two days off from the blog to focus on Christmas with my family and it was so nice. I hope you all had a beautiful few days with your families and loved ones. Now, I'm on vacation and taking these days before 2019 to relax and I'm so excited. It's time I start wrapping up the year on the blog and I&…

I was talking last week in my Current Beauty Favorites post that I was revulating all my beauty content, which in turn became a full on blog audit. I'll get into that tomorrow in the Royal Round Up but I wanted to kind of introduce this series. Even though the market is so overly saturated, I still get so excited…

I'm currently sitting on my couch with my aunt, uncle, & mom, watching Football and awaiting for the appriporate time to eat leftovers. I was going to blog Wednesday & yesterday but just didn't have the time. I was cooking and baking and had to run errands, and I was just exhausted by the end of it. I …

It's 9 PM on Monday night and I'm so full from my sister's 21st birthday dinner, and also from Easter sweets at work, and from Easter Sunday dinner. I cannot even think straight and just want to crawl into bed. That being said, I'm too lazy to go look in my blog planner to see what post was supposed to…

It's April and the year is almost halfway over. Spring is around the corner and as much as I've hated it in the past, I'm a little bit excited for the warm weather and no jackets. I'm excited for iced coffee and kimonos. March was so-so with some blizzards and rain storms. I got out of my funk and I…

We've discussed books , accessories , and now we are onto beauty. Beauty is my number one love, and I think 2016 was the year that beauty really exploded; 2014 & 2015 were warm ups and this year, the beauty industry took it's rightful place as a booming industry. Working in the industry is very exciting be…

Well, Thanksgiving is over and it's officially the Christmas season! My mom and I spent the weekend decorating for Christmas, and I ventured out on Saturday to Target and Bath & Body Works to grab some Christmas decor & candles. The entire house is decked out and I'm so excited! Also, did anyone notice…

I've officially hung up my credit cards. I've said it before but I will say it again, I need to get a hold of my finances and I need to stop shopping for makeup. I was doing good at some point but fell off the wagon and the result is this post. I definitely don't need all the makeup I have but it's tru…
