October 3, 2017 1 Comment

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Thousands of people will participate in their local Susan G. Komen races/walks this month. Knoxville’s is on October 21st. I will be walking/running to honor the women in my family who have been affected by breast cancer, as well as the dozens of breast cancer patients and survivors that I have worked with over the past few years.

During this 21-day event, Ulta is offering beauty steals up to 50% off, including special deals on brands such as Urban Decay, It […]

Wish List Wednesday: Sephora

October 28, 2015 No Comments

Sephora has such a wide array of beauty products, from their own Sephora brand to luxe items like Christian Louboutin’s lipsticks. They have online exclusives as well as a VIB Beauty Insider Rewards program. I love the Sephora store at my hometown mall, but the experience was at the New York City store phenomenal. I spent almost $200 in a blink of the eye! I could walk through the store with a push cart and fill it up with all kinds of beauty goodies, but for now, here are the items on my shortlist. 1. Hum Nutrition Red Hot Holidays […]
