Craft Space Makeover

  Over the past few months, we've been updating our home decor room by room. My craft desk was previously in my breakfast nook area in my kitchen, but it just wasn't gonna work there anymore. At the same time of my redecorating, I'm also doing some serious decluttering (using particularly the Konmari Method, stay tuned for more info) which means I really wanted to downsize this area.  

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. 

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. 

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! 

How to Organize your Monthly Planner

If anyone is like me, you can't live without a planner. I swear I look at mine about 10 times a day. I keep everything in this baby. From work, to bills, to blog post, to birthdays. Nothing is going to slide past me! The specific planner I have isn't my favorite, but my organization has really seemed to work great for me the last few years, so is love to share some tips with you. 

Decluttering My Makeup Part 3 (Eyeshadow)

Now I have to be completely honest with you guys, I NEVER open this drawer. I could probably get rid of everything and I'd never miss it, but I'm a hoarder and I just can't do it. Yet! So for now, I'm just going to minimize. 

Decluttering my Makeup Part 2 (Foundation and Concealer)

Ok, so foundations, my number one favorite beauty item to try out. Which in turn, gives me a huge mess of a drawer. It gets to the point, where I really don't even know what I have, and certain products aren't getting used when they deserve it. 

Decluttering my Makeup Part 1 (Eyeliner and Mascara)

So, my collection has gotten out of hand. Is there really a need for 3 of the same color of everything? No. It's time for me to down size, so why not bring you all along. First stop is my eye drawer. Eyeliner and mascara, let's go! 

DIY At Home Coffee Bar

Hello there ladies! I have an exciting little addition to my home to share with you guys. So to fill you in on my situation , my dream job was an interior designer, but I couldn't afford to go to school. Now that I'm older and have my own home, I'm very disappointed with how it is decorated. I don't have the funds to go crazy with my real decorating dreams, but I can take one step at a time, and eventually get my home to be the dream home I've always wanted.  This weekend my goal was a coffee bar. We are coffee people. I've always wanted one, and I've just never gone through with it.  My boyfriend built this console table for me about a year ago. I needed something tall and slim for a specific area, and this was the perfect size. It was later painted black and has since been an accent table in our house.  I went to Target and bought a pack of Mug Hooks for about $3, and I started my magic.  And ta da. So simple and easy, ...

What is in my everyday makeup drawer? 3rd Edition

I think this might be one of my favorite things to blog about, and that is my every day makeup drawer! I haven't done one since I've gotten my new makeup storage, and I was excited to show you guys, so here we go! 

Merry Christmas! My new Makeup Storage

For Christmas this year, to myself, I splurged and bought myself a new makeup storage system/desk. I am so happy with my purchase and I wanted to share it with you guys! 

What is in my everyday makeup drawer? Third Edition

Now first and foremost can I just take a second and mention that this isy 100th post! Holy crap! I've been doing this blog for about 6 months now, and I'm really enjoying sharing my thoughts and details of how I do things, but 100 just feels crazy! I'm so happy I've made it to this point...but now, back to the original point of the matter, my every day makeup drawer. As I've said before, I have a lot, and by changing out some items in my most reached for drawer everything gets much more use. So let's dig in!  My storage unit is a 6 compartment acrylic storage from Target. Now starting from the front left is always my face section. At the moment for foundation I have my Loreal Smooth Soufflé Foundation, Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua, Jourt Matte Moisture Tint. For concealers I have Rimmel Match Perfection, Benefit Boing, and Covergirl and Olay. Now below this (which you can't see) I have MAC Skin Refined Zone and Hourglass Mineral Veil for primers...
