Christmas Beauty Wishlist!

Am I the only one who craves makeup for my birthday and Christmas? Ha, who am I kidding? Obviously we all do or we wouldn't be here right? Now, this year I've strategically asked all of my family to give me Sephora gift cards hoping that it works out in my favor and I'll get to go a little crazy. I don't like to go bat shit crazy in there often because I can't justify it, but with gift cards, I have to go a little buckwild right? So, with all of that said, who are the few things I'm looking forward too...

A refill of my Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer. I'm in the shade Vanilla 2, and I really love this concealer. It has made it's way to my holy grail and I'm running a little low.

Stila Stay All Day liquid eyeliner. This has been on my list for a while now.

Benefit Porefessional. I need this in my life. You never know how much you need something until it's gone.

Benefit Rockateur Box Powder. Must have? No. Want? Yes!

Benefit Gimme Brow. As you guys probably already know, I'm obsessed with brows. I must try everything!

And if all goes well, maybe the Marc Jacobs Lolita palette. Expensive, but it just might be my splurge.

What are you hoping for this holiday season?

Blogtober Day 24! DIY Remove Black Stains from Hardwood Floors

This blog is coming to you by accident, of course. I don't know if I've mentioned it much on this blog, but I have two pitbulls. I know, a lot to handle, and one of them is a puppy. She is horrible sometimes, but I can't help but love her. Our whole house is hardwood floors, which I love! With my two dogs, if the happen to have an accident it's really easy to clean up...or so I thought. We have had a large living room rug down for about 6 months now. Over the weekend we decided to take it outside and air it out and do a little "Fall Cleaning". Low and behold underneath the rug were huge dark black spots on the hardwood. I immediately jumped on Pinterest to see what to do. It turns out dogs urine causes the wood to turn black (who knew?). So I found a solution that I'm really excited to share with you. Peroxide! Awesome, I had plenty on hand and immediately started to try it out. At first I used a paint brush to apply it to the specific areas. Almo

Personal Planner Setup

I have been using a planner for as long as I can remember. My little OCD self needs something to keep me grounded and on track. About 3 years ago I discovered Erin Condren as well as the planner community on social media (if you are a planner person check them out, it is such a positive and supportive group of people). If you're not familiar, the Erin Condren Life Planner is an A5 size planner (7" by 9") and is a thick planner. For me, this type of planner is not convenient for every day use so this planner stays at home on my desk and is used mostly for my creative side, not functionality. This brings me to my personal size planner, I use a Kate Spade Wellesley planner which can be bought at the Kate Spade Outlet stores (these outlets will ship to you so call around if you don't live close to one and are interested). Currently as pictured above I am using the red version which was re-released this Summer, and I also have a black version which is always in stock.

DIY IKEA Kitchen Shelf

It is finally complete! I have been working on decorating this bad boy for a few weeks now and I'm in love! Thanks to my dear husband we were able to turn this cheap IKEA shelving unit into an adorable farmhouse style kitchen shelf pretty easily. See below for our step by step! This is the IKEA Mulig Shelving Unit which is $59.99 for the largest size. This measures 47 1/4x13 3/8x63 3/4 " We purchased a 3/4" piece of plywood at Home Depot in which we got cut in store for each shelf. These measure 46 1/2" by 13" Also at a Home Depot we purchased a tube of Loctite Power Grip and a small can of Golden Pecan stain . This stain matches a few other items in our house so they would all look cohesive. Once home, let the staining begin. After one coat of stain was dry we used the Loctite to place the plywood on the shelves. We used sand bags to weigh down e
