Blogtober Day 3! Review and How I Apply MAC Radiant Rose Highlighter



I did a first impression of this product a few weeks ago, and I wasn't really that impressed. I thought I was probably just applying it wrong and I wanted to keep giving it a try. 

First things first, the packaging is very sleek and pretty. It's an all black container with sparkles. Who doesn't love sparkles? It's a click up kind of style that you turn the bottom to get the product to come out of the brush.


I use this product before I apply any powder and on top of my concealer. I was using this product first in exchange for my concealer and that did not work for me. I have dark undereyes and I need a concealer! No matter what. 

   
(Please excuse my cross eyes, not a very flattering picture.)

I click the product twice and use for both sides. I swipe once in each side with the most product and do any addition swipes out to the side. I think it's very important not to use to much product. 


I then use my Real Techniques Stippling Brush to blend. I pull the product under my eyes and across the tops of my check bones. I use like I would any other highlighter. 


I then use my MAC Highlighting powder in Lightscapade to set it. 


For this I use my ELF Blush brush. The size is perfect for the undereye area. I make sure not to use too much of this product as well, because I don't want to be a disco ball.

I'm not having very much luck with being photogenic today so I don't have an after picture. Overall this product is a really great item to have. It adds home and color to your face and really does brighten things up. As long as this is applied correctly it really does make a world of difference. 

Thanks so much for reading!

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.

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

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
