This blog has been MIA for a couple of years now. My intention was to keep it going, but as a new mother, my passion went to the back burner as I juggled my new responsibilities. However, I finally feel like myself along side my new role as a mother and my creativity with beauty has come back. I have always loved writing and reviewing beauty products. I have realized however, over the years things have changed a lot with bloggers and influencers. I need to learn new ways to create and reach viewers. Follow me as I...

****UPDATE! I am now writing on this blog once again! :D ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I love this blog with all of my heart. I am a makeup junkie and enjoy writing all about my obsessions, subscriptions, or favorite products. This blog has helped me learn how to run a blog, what people would like, and more about myself. I have decided to move on to fully focusing on my Motherhood blog. I do write about beauty there and have started a section focusing on that. However, I feel I will no longer be to run both blogs. I do want...

This is an updated makeup brush routine that I am excited to share because I feel it will benefit everyone. It is hard to find affordable, deep cleaning solution for your brushes. I have seen many ways people do it and also the many brands used. However, I came across Dr. Woods Shea Soap at Target and also Dr. Bronners. I prefer Dr. Woods over Dr. Bronners because it is a little thicker. I like that it is thicker because you seem to need less product to get the job done. Dr. Woods Shea Soap Benefits Mentioned above,...

I want to share my fitness journey thus far! I started the 21 day fix with beach body 21 days ago! Backstory: I was never really overweight. I would go back and fourth pounds. After I got married I gained 15 lbs and probably under the "overweight" category. I was 127lbs when I got married and got up to 155lbs. I was always tired no matter how much sleep I got. I never felt right in my clothes and went up a size or two. I wanted to change that this month! And this program helped kick start...

When I started this blog, I was so excited and ready to write about all the things I love. It was so easy to do at the time and I even had more time. But things change and life goes on. I am so sad I haven't been caught up with this blog because it was such a fun outlet for me and sadly it stopped. It became more of a chore than fun and eventually just stopped. But, in 2014 I plan on getting back into it so I can enjoy things I use to enjoy even...

I apologize for posting this one late! I had this saved as a draft and needed to finish it but I haven't had any motivation to blog. It saddens me greatly. However, before I post my recent Ipsy bag, here is October's. Zoya Mason: It is a nice pinky purple and as you can see below it goes great with other colors. I like the shine it has and it lasts for days. Style Sexy Hair Spray Clay: I only used this once because I am on a picky hair routine( no poo). If you haven't heard of...

I contacted Echo Vie because I was very interested in their body oil. And I received their lip balm sample in my Wantable subscription box a few months back and really wanted to see what else they had to offer. When they told me they're going send me the products I was very excited to try them out. I was sent these products for free but I was not paid to review them. This is my honest opinion on the products.  They offer organic lip balm and organic body oil at www.echovie.com/ The Lip Balm This lip balm...

If you haven't heard of going "no-poo" before, look it up. I don't have any links for you because I have done a bit of digging and didn't really save my research, but I can say go to a facebook group called "No Poo(no shampoo & Loo poo) https://www.facebook.com/groups/nopoo/ and they have so much info in the link section. Using this non-tradtional method has many benefits and they really sucked me in. I have seen first hand from a friend of mine that it truly works! No-poo is basically ditching your shampoo and even conditioner which can be full...
