FOTD! September 3, 2014

Another week, and another face of the day! I don't have anything cool or interesting to tell you guys, so let's go ahead and jump right in. 

My Etsy Shop!

Hello everyone! I know it's been forever and a day since I've done a post, but I have been devoting my time to something else. I'm really sorry about that, but my Erin Condren Life Planner has taken over my life a little. I quickly realized how much I love that thing, and I realized also, my boyfriend and I are a pretty good team when it comes to creating stickers for the planners. I opened an Etsy shop, and to my surprise it kind of took off. I'm so happy with it! 

My Every Day Makeup Brushes

I always share my makeup choices for the day, but I never talk much about my brush choices. Every once in a while they will end up in my favorites, but never a full post of my most used picks. So here we are. I'm excited! 

FOTD! August 18, 2014

Today is a really great Monday to get back on my FOTD posts. Reason being, I used a lot of different products instead of just my normal go tos. I'm excited to share with you all, so keep on reading. 

What's in my every day makeup drawer?

It's been a very long time since I posted a "What's in my every day makeup drawer?" Post, but shoot it's been a while since I've posted at all. I figured I 'd jump back into the swing with one of the favorite type of posts and share my items with you. 

Sephora Haul

I was a bad girl and went a little crazy at Sephora yesterday. It's been a while since I let myself splurge, and at the time it really seemed like the right thing to do. I wanted to share my few high end choices with you all since it has been a while. 

Lazy Day FOTD!

It's Monday, and on top of that depressing fact it's my first full week in the office for the past month. Let's just say I wasn't feeling it today. For makeup I went as simple as possible, but I'm still going to share my few items with you all. 

July Beauty (and one extra) Favorites

Hello there everyone! Another month in 2014 has come to an end, and I quickly realized I really didn't have that many stand out beauty products. I contemplated not doing this post, but I thought a few products were better than none. I was out of town pretty much this whole month, and that is a big reason why I don't have many new products to share. I'll go ahead and jump right in. 

Beauty Box 5! July 2014

So I accidentally received a second Beauty Box 5 subscription. Whoops! I mentioned last month that I received a free box from a Facebook ad, and I forgot to cancel my subscription. So here we are for a second month. I have now cancelled my box, and this will be the last one, but while we got it might as well share it right? 

ANOTHER Quick Erin Condren Update

Am I driving you all crazy yet with my Erin Condren updates? Well, I'm sorry, but I'm obsessed. And to be honest, they probably aren't stopping anytime soon. Tomorrow is the first day of the second month I've had my Erin Condren planner, and I'm already deep into my decorating. 

What's in my Ipsy bag? July 2014

Better late than never, right? I've been traveling a lot this month, and while I was on the road I received my Ipsy bag. It had to wait until I got home to he opened, and loved, and that time has come. 

FOTD on a Thursday?! July 24, 2014

Long time no talk guys! I'm sorry I kind of abandoned you all, but I was out of town on a work trip for 10 days and it was busy! I barely had time to sleep, so I did have to put you all on the back burner for a minute, and I'm sorry. But because of this, I'm bringing you all a FOTD on a Thursday for my first day back in the office. Let's jump in! 

What makeup am I taking with me for 10 days?

I know I jipped you all on a post yesterday, but do you guys know how stressful it trying to pack for 10 days?! This trip got thrown on us all kind of last minute, and I'm really just trying to make sure I have everything. Also, that I know everything I'm going to be teaching these people. Work trips are stressful anyways, but 10 days just takes it to the next level. I'm showing you today all of the makeup I'm bringing with me, which I'm kind of proud of myself :) Let's jump in.

Quick Erin Condren Life Planner Update

Hello everyone and welcome to my second Erin Condren life planner post. And to answer your question, yes I'm going to be one of these people. I'm just in love with this bad boy, and I know before I purchased these were the posts I was searching for! It's been almost two weeks into this planner and into the month of July, so I have worked out a few things that I feel like work best for me, so I'm very excited to share. 

FOTD! July 7, 2014

You guys, my makeup area is a disaster this week. I'm leaving next week for a 10 day trip and I'm trying to make sure that  I don't forget anything. I made a decision that if I didn't put anything away I wouldn't forget anything important. Probably a bad idea, because now I have a huge mess. That's ok though because I'm still going to do my weekly FOTD for you all, but today we don't have a picture to reference. 

June Beauty Favorites 2014

Happy 4th of July everyone! Better late than never on my favorites, right? I had planned on posting this on Wednesday, but I was just so excited for the new Lorac palette that I figured this could wait one more day. June wasn't a very adventurous month for me beauty wise, but I did have a few products that really stood out for me, so let's get into it.

Review! Lorac Pro 2 Palette

It's here guys! When I first read about this product online I thought it might be a fake, but here we are. I was intrigued, and ran to Ulta this weekend to pick it up as soon as it was released in store. I am in love with my original Lorac Pro palette, and once I saw some of the reviews for this baby I knew I needed it in my life. 

FOTD! June 30, 2014

Happy Monday everyone! Another week has begun, and July is literally tomorrow! What the hell?! Where has this year gone. They didn't lie when they said as you get older time goes so much faster! So before I get depressed about my up coming birthday let's jump into my makeup choices for today. 

Review! Erin Condren Life Planner 2014-2015

It is finally here! I've been waiting so impatiently for this bad boy to arrive, and it is here just in time for July. A couple of weeks ago, Erin Condren started preorders for the 18 month life planner, and I couldn't wait. This is my first year owning an Erin Condren planner, and I'm very excited to share my thoughts, organization, and ideas with you all. 

DIY! Decorating Photo Boxes

I have about 10 of these white photo boxes in my living room for storage, and I decided yesterday some needed a makeover. I had a root canal yesterday morning (ahhhh), which left my feeling so much better than before and some free time by myself. This was the outcome! It was very quick and easy, so I wanted to share the tips with you all! 

Top 20 Under $20

Who doesn't love some awesome beauty products that are a good deal? I'm going to say, hopefully no one! I've decided to raid my stash of makeup and pick the overall winners from the drugstore. I have to say, quite a lot of my holy grail products are from drugstore brands, and I want to let you all in on my little secret. So here we go!

FOTD! June 23, 2014

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, and hopefully your week will be great and fly by! We're close to July, which is crazy, and I'm ready for a Summer vacation week! This morning I sure was sleepy, so my makeup was pretty simple, but I'm still excited to share with you all my choices for the day. Let's get into it.

DIY! Gold Refrigerator Letter Magnets

Gold makes everything better, right guys? And as Trinidad James says, "All Gold Everything".  Today I was finally able to complete a long awaited craft for myself. I've been wanting to do this for a whole, but I wasn't able to find the letter magnets anywhere! Finally, it's time to make this small dream come true. 

Review! Sharon and Kelly Osbourne MAC Collection Blushes

The time has finally come, my purchases from the Sharon and Kelly Osbourne Collection have arrived. I knew immediately after seeing this collection I wanted both blushes. Blushes are my thing, and if I don't know what I want from a collection, blushes are my go to. Luckily, both of these were beautiful and I needed both. 

FOTD! June 16, 2014

Oh hello there everyone and happy Monday! Monday means FOTD, and guess what guys! I made sure to change up a few products for you guys to keep you on your toes. Let's jump on in! 

What's in my Ipsy bag? June 2014

Can we just start off with this bag? The first time in a long I'm excited to change my purse makeup bag into this one. Good job Ipsy! This bag is Rebecca Minkoff which is probably why I'm very satisfied. Now my last months items weren't really that impressive, so I was excited to see if they stepped up there game. 

What did I get in my Beauty Box 5?

Hello guys and welcome to a new and different beauty subscription box post. Last month, on Facebook, there was an ad offering a free month of Beauty Box 5. I mean who could pass up free? Now unfortunately this ad has expired, but Beauty Box 5 is available monthly for $12. I don't know much about this service, other than some YouTube gurus have mentioned it. This is my complete first impression of this service, so let's jump right in. 

FOTD! June 9, 2014

Another day, another dollar. Mondays never seem to quit catching up to me, and a little too quickly if I do say so myself. I've realized these last couple of weeks, I tend to be pretty repetitive with my Monday looks. This is going to give me the courage determination to change that up, but in the meantime, here we go with today's choices. 

Beauty Room Tour! (through a few pictures)

My beauty room is my sanctuary. I spend quite a lot of time in here, so I figured I would show you guys what I got in here. These are favorite type of YouTube videos to watch, which I'm still too shy to do , but I figured I good still give you the basics through pictures. 

New Brush Washing Technique? Review Sephora Precision Pore Cleansing Pad

I'm sure we've all seen the Sigma Brush  Washing Mitt that was released a few years ago. It's basically exactly what I have here, but in mitt form. When I saw the Sephora Precision Pore Cleansing Tool that was the first thing that came to mind. Of course, this is much smaller, but this also cost $6. I wanted to try it out, and see if it makes a difference for brush washing. 

FOTD! June 4, 2014

It's not Monday, but I'm still going to give you a weekly FOTD post. I realized Monday morning when I went to take my pictures, that I was wearing exactly what I wore last week! Creatures of habit right? I knew that wasn't going to be enjoyable, so I decided to post pone it by a blog post, and give you guys something a little more enjoyable. Now here we are, FOTD time. It was light today, I guess I was extra tired :) 

Review! MAC Alluring Aquatic Collection Sea Me, Hear Me Blush

Look at this packaging! This item was a complete impulse buy on packaging alone. Sorry, I'm not sorry. I'm sure we've heard tons about this collection from MAC and I am a little late to the bandwagon, but better late than never right? MAC Alluring Aquatic collection has been a hit so far, so what are my thoughts on my purchase? 

May Beauty Favorites

Holy crap guys! I think this is the most products I've ever shown in a monthly favorites post, so it must have been a great month! I was pretty bad with my budgeting the month, but surprisingly not many of these products are new purchases. I did pretty good finding some things around the house to fall in love with. Let's jump in because we do have a lot... 

How I Decorated my New Desk!

After my long search for the perfect desk to fit into this area of my house, I quickly realized I didn't have anything to decorate with! Good thing I love to shop! I also started putting some things in the drawers, so I figure I'll show you guys a sneak peak. 

New MAC Osbourne Collection

I have never done a post about a MAC Collection before it has been released, but this one is so good I had to share a few things with you all! Kelly and Sharon Osbourne are releasing their collection with MAC online on June 2nd. It's quite a large collection, which is broken down into two parts, one for Kelly and one for Sharon and I want to share my wish list with you all. 

Happy Memorial Day and Blog Plans

So, the second week in my FOTD Monday series, and it just so happens to be a work Holiday, and I don't feel like getting all dolled up! Ironic huh? Instead, I'm going to wish you all a wonderful Memorial Day, and say thank you to everyone who has risked their lives for our country. 

DIY! Painted Mason Jar Vase

I'm not sure if I've ever expressed to you guys how much I love decorating with mason jars. Not only are they adorable, but they're also very cheap and very versatile. I was digging through some drawers last week, and found these fake flowers that I bought for a previous project and never used. I decided the spice them up, and get them out of the drawer. So here is my solution to my flowers in the drawer. 

Review! Anastasia Dip Brow Pomade in Auburn

Another week, another brow product. Is this a surprise to anyone? A couple of weeks ago, when I purchased my Anastasia Brow Powder Duo in Auburn, I also snatched up the Dipbrow Pomade in Auburn as well. I couldn't pass up the opportunity since it was in stock. I used the powder first, but now it's time to tell you guys how I feel about the Pomade. 

FOTD! May 19, 2014

Happy Monday guys! I'm changing it up! No more Monday Questionnaires, I'm going to do Monday face of the days! Hopefully you guys will enjoy it. I'm hoping it will make my Monday's more enjoyable for me and for you guys! Let's jump right in! 

DIY! No Slip Hangers

I can't believe I haven't thought of this sooner. It's pretty much pure genius! And unfortunately, I can't take the credit. What did I ever do without Pinterest? I'm pretty sure my life was incomplete until now. 

What is in my Ipsy bag? May 2014

I TOTALLY forgot about Ipsy this month! I don't know what happened...maybe since the year is flying by? All I know isy boyfriend told me I got a package, and I was literally racking my brain all day trying to figure out what it could be (if he would have said it was pink, it would have saved some mind work). So on that note of my old age showing through, let's dig in. 

Review! Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo in Auburn

Does it come to a shock to anyone that I'm trying more brow products? I'm obsessed. There, I've admitted it, now we can all move on! As soon as I saw Anastasia had new colors for her brow products, I got excited. I've used the Caramel and Soft Brown Brow Wiz's in the past, as well as powders, but I've been looking for a brand with a "red" option for a while now. Low and behold, she now has Auburn. Of course, it's been sold out everywhere, and I've finally gotten my hands on it.

Monday Questionnaire May 12, 2014

Finally   a Monday when it's not pouring rain. We haven't had many of these here in Atlanta this Spring, and I'm going to take advantage this and be happy! Even being at work doesn't seem THAT bad since I didn't have to get soaked on my way in :) So here we are, another 10 questions to get our weeks started. Enjoy! 

5 Tips for Keeping "BOX" Dyed Red Hair Vibrant

I have been dying my hair for quite a few years, and over time I'm found a few small tips and tricks that have really helped me out down the line. Now I dye my hair, which for anyone who has ever done this, you know it's really not an easy thing to do. The color fades VERY quickly, and sometimes it can seem like more of a chore than it's worth. I do have a few tricks up my sleeve that have made this a little easier for me that I'm really excited to share. 

Review! Cynthia Rowley Liquid Eyeliner

Who doesn't love Cynthia Rowley? Her design is very much my style, and I always second glance almost everything from her line. When I heard she had a makeup line (only available from Birchbox) I was immediately intrigued. I did a little research on the Birchbox website, and decided it was worth a shot. 

Monday Questionnaire! May 5, 2014

Happy Cinco de Mayo y'all! See what I did there, made it real country like. All the fun Holidays are falling on Monday this year! Which is perfect, for my Monday Questionnaires. Hope everyone's weekend was wonderful, and let's start it off right with 10 questions for me! 

DIY! Homemade Acrylic Flower Arrangements

I'm not sure about you guys, but I always check out the acrylic flower arrangements that stores have to offer, and they are always SO expensive, and they never have exactly what I'm looking for. I saw a video online of a DIY version and I was immediately entrigued. I saw that there was an acrylic water kit offered at Michael's and I was ready to give it a shot. 

April Beauty Favorites 2014

I feel like I have a few more favorites this month than usual, and that's probably because I've been bad, and have let myself do a little bit of shopping. Probably not a good thing! I mentioned in my everyday makeup drawer post, that I had been shopping my collection more, and I think all of my favorites is going to show that I really did find some great products hidden amongst all of my stuff. Let's just jump into it. 

What is in my everyday makeup drawer? 4th Edition

I'm getting better you guys! I'm shopping my collection more and more, and finding new and old favorites along the way. Of course, I have been bad and bought some new things for myself, and those have made there way in here too! These items have changed quite a bit so let's dig in, and see what I've been keeping in my every day drawer. 

Monday Questionnaire! April 28, 2014

We had a very dog oriented weekend, so as you can see, something is on my mind today. I hope everyone had a great weekend, and has a great week ahead of them. Let's get into this questionnaire shall we? 

DIY! Desk Makeover

Another personal mission of mine is finally complete. I have been stalking Craigslist trying to find the perfect desk for weeks now, and finally one popped up at the perfect price. Now of course, I couldn't just buy it and be happy with it, I had to give it some TLC, so I'm bringing you along on my journey. 

New Makeup Storage (Makeup Organization)

I mentioned in my home decorating post that I had purchased a few more items from Ikea that would show up later. Here they are! I'm always hunt the hunt for the best makeup storage options, and I believe I'm getting pretty close with this new purchase!
