MY JULY IPSY BAG!!!

By
Happy Summer everyone!!!  So sorry that I have not posted in a while...I have had a really busy start to the summer.  I just got back from two different week long vacations!  (which I will be sharing with you soon.)
Todays post will consist of my July ipsy bag!  I swear each month they get better!  Honestly, not sure how they will top this months...

This bag.  Seriously.  I am obsessED!


They sent out 5 amaaaazing products this month and I litereally love all 5.  

Firstly, is the Octavio La Playa sea salt spray for your hair.  This is obviously a necessity for everyone's summer bags!  Smells super yummy and I love spraying it in damp hair then doing a braid and after a few hours taking it out and whalah!!  Mermaid hair!

Next is the Gel Effect Aurora nail polish.  I literally just put this on in like 5 minutes with a clear top coat and I am loving the color.  Hopefully it lasts a while like gel should!  The color I got is called "4 alarm fire".

Next product is the Be A....Bombshell chaptick.  This is going to be a new staple for me because I wear lipstick every now and then but I feel like I am always wearing chapstick.  And this chapstick has a small tint of red.  So I am keeping my lips nice and moisturized with a pop of color.  I love it!  And the color I got is called "ruby".

The next item I received is the Vasanti BrightenUp! exfoliating cleanser.  This I am not sure about...it makes my skin feel really nice and refreshed but it was a little uncomfortable to put on.  If you have sensitive skin, I would not recommend this.  It's a scratchy feeling but I like the way my skin feels afterwards.

And lastly!  The Tarte Bronzer.  I am a sucker for bronzer and usually always have to wearing some.  So I was super stoked to get this in the bag!  The color I got is called "Park ave Princess" and I love love love the way it looks on my skin.  A+!  And it's also the perfect small travel size!

So all in all, truly, an amazing bag this is.  Thank you again IPSY!!!!

Talk to you guys soon!  Look out for a big summer vacation/birthday post! :D

Hi everyone!!!  Sorry this post is a little late....but I have literally had zero time to do anything!!!  BUT good news is that I should be done with school in the next couple weeks!  OMG.  I literally cannot believe it.  I have learned so much the past six months and have grown into a stronger and more confident person when it comes to skin care.  I will be sad to leave my new friends but know that we will stay close no matter what (: ANYWAY...lol lets get into the photos! These were all from Christmas Day.  It was literally perfect.  It was just us and we made cinnamon rolls from scratch and went for a ride and then made an incredible dinner!  Oh and cuddled the cats of course.  Very pleased with everything that I got for Christmas too! Ty and I drove down to OC to visit with family and friends for New Years.  Our first stop was at the Too Faced Cosmetics headquarters ...

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 ...

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...

Hi everyone!!!!!  ONLY 4 MORE DAYSSSSS OMG!!! As you can see, I am not excited for Christmas at all. (: This post is one of my all time favorite sugar cookie recipes and they are literally so delicious.  I am eating one while I type.  LOL I love that when they bake, they don't spread and the icing is so simple yet so yummy. Let's get started! You will need: ~1 cup of butter softened ~1 cup of white sugar ~1 teaspoon vanilla extract ~1/4 teaspoon almond extract ~1 egg ~2 teaspoons baking powder ~3 cups of flour + more for when you roll out the dough ~powdered sugar ~milk (This recipe yields approximately 30 cookies-that's how many I made-but feel free to double if need be!) Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line two-three baking sheets with parchment paper. In a bowl or in your mixer, mix your sugar and butter together. Then add in your egg and extracts. In a separate bowl, sift your flour and baki...
