Earlier this week, I got my Fall FabFitFun box and was so excited that I gave the box a hug! Even though I wanted to rip right into the box the second I got into the house, I held off until Saturday afternoon when I had more time to actually sit down with the box and go through it product by product. {*Disclosure: I am a FabFitFun Affiliate, which means if you order from my blog posts, I receive a small commission. #fffaffiliate #fffpartner} A couple of weeks ago, I got an email from FabFitFun, with a sneak peak of what was […]
Vanity Ideas for Small Spaces
I am still in the process of turning a small bedroom into my dressing room, and I’ve been looking at ideas for my vanity. I don’t have much room in my small dressing room, and I am thinking of turning my antique desk into my vanity. But then, where would I put my sewing machine? I do have a small rolling table that I can (and probably will) repaint and then DIY a lighted mirror to replace my small vanity mirror. But in the meantime, I’m having some serious vanity envy.

I have only been wearing makeup for about eight years, and it has been a bit of trial and error to figure out what works with my skin.

It has […]

But this post is not a comparison between Sephora and Ulta. This is all about Ulta! I recently received an Ulta circular in the mail, featuring the “21 days of beauty” and immediately began to circle some new beauty products I want to try. During this 21-day event, Ulta is offering beauty steals up to 50% off, including special deals on brands such as Urban Decay, It […]
Woman of Style: Alicia Vikander
“It’s almost a kick that I’m looking for. I like to push myself, find new sides of myself and see how different the characters are that I can create with my craft.” – Alicia Vikander, Oscar-winning actress and star of the new movie, The Light Between Oceans. When I saw Alicia Vikander take the stage in her yellow strapless high-low dress to accept her Oscar, I knew then that she had a beauty and a style that couldn’t be match by any other actress. This is why she is this month’s “Woman of Style.” Vikander won both the Academy Award and the […]
