MY JANUARY IPSY BAG REVIEW!!!

By



Today I am sharing my January Ipsy bag!

I am honestly not theee biggest fan of the bag  design, but some of the products are nice and I am excited to use them!

One of the first things I got was the 'SL Miss Glam blending eye shadow brush'.  (I struggled trying to find the exact brush online but I linked another one.)  This brush is really pretty.  Honestly almost too pretty to use!  LOL.  I love a good blending brush and the hairs of this one are very soft.

The next product I got was the 'Jelly Pong Pong lip scrub.'  I was not a fan of this.  I do not like lip scrubs that you have to wipe off.  I do not want to put anything near my mouth that I cannot ingest.  That kind of grosses me out to be honest.  This product also seems to be waaaay over priced for what it is.

I then received the 'Mannakadar beauty powder blush in the shade Paradise Blush.'  I loveeee this so much.  The color payoff is gorgeous because it has a subtle gold highlight to it.  I think blush might very well be one of my favorite makeup products.

I was also sent the 'Naked Cosmetics pigment in the shade Desert Sunset #02."  I love loose pigments.  For some reason they are just so amazing to use.  They look gorgeous on their own or on top of another shade!  I am tempted to wear this shade as a highlight on my cheeks.  It's a beautiful shimmery pink champagne.  It would also look fabulous in the inner corners.

Lastly I was given the 'Ciaté Gelology Top Coat.'  Literally as I am typing this, I have it on.  I painted my nails a little bit ago and applied this top coat.  I love trying different top coats to find the best one!  I am still on the hunt for one that prevents chipping because that is a huge pet peeve of mine for some reason!  The second that a nail chips, I have to remove all of them.  HAH!  We will have to see how this one settles in but so far so good.

Have you signed up for Ipsy yet?

10 THINGS TO DO DURING THE FESTIVE SEASON...

By
I am excited to be writing this post because I l o v e doing fun festive things this time of year and now that it is December...it's going to fly by.  And I would hate for it to be all over and I have not done anything fun! Here are a few things you can do with your kids, lovers or friends this Holiday season that will for sure bring you some cheer! 1. Watch Christmas films!  I mean DUH!  There are tons of great movies out there to watch.  MY favorites are definitely the old 'claymation' classics like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer & Santa Claus is Coming to Town.  But there are others like ELF & Christmas with the Kranks that are hilarious.  Another great place to watch films like these is on ABC family.  They have a schedule for when they show certain films. (: 2. Look at Christmas lights.  This has a l w a y s been one of my favorite things to do during the holiday season ever since I was a little girl.  You can hop in the car and drive around.  You can eith

MY NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS!!!

By
Hellllloooo beautiful friends! I hope you all had the most incredible holiday vacation.  I am soooo sad that it's all over ):  Not gonna lie. I wrote a post like this a year ago and it's basically just me explaining/describing my new year resolutions to you guys. 1.) Stay organized...I know so many people say this as a resolution, but I want to be more on top of keeping my life organized.  I want to stay away from just throwing things around and not putting them back where they are supposed to go and keep all of my things clean and organized!  So simple.  lol 2.) Drink more water!  It's not that I don't drink water, I just feel that I don't drink enough of it!  I think that not drinking enough water makes me get headaches and makes my skin turn to crap! 3.) Smile more & worry less.  I have gotten a lot better at doing this but I still feel like I need to do more of it.  I always find myself worrying about silly little things and stressing over s

Hii everyone!  I hope you're having a great great start to the week.  We are still just packing away up here in SF.  Getting ready to move next weekend!  I cannot believe how quickly it has come.  We are trying to fit in all the things that we want to do here before we move. In today's post, I am sharing with you Tyler and I's 9 year anniversary celebration!  It was the most perfect day.  Beautiful weather and it was just so lovely to spend time together. I got us some sweet treats from Susie Cakes a little early because they were too good to pass up.  LOL On our actual anniversary, we wanted to try 'Mr. Holmes Bakehouse' because we have heard so much about it.  And there were toooo many choices. Clearly we went ham and got almost like one of each.  HAHA Too bad we ate them ALL! We came across this view when driving around the city!  How beautiful. We decided to find a secluded bench by the water near all the piers an
