    2017 Year in Review & Favorites

    Before I jump into this post – check out my new blog theme!! I decided the start of the new year was as good of an excuse as any to spruce things up around here. The sizing and details on some stuff is still a little wonky while I work everything out but go ahead and have a look around – I hope you like it! I figured with the new year it was time for me to write a “end of 2017” post or something, but I wasn’t sure how I wanted to do it. I want to include…

    Sephora Play! March 2017

    It feels like I JUST wrote February’s Sephora Play post but here we are already with March! I clearly measure a year in terms of monthly beauty boxes, and this year is just flying by. To be honest I have a hunch that someone at Sephora HQ made a goof and shipped out this month’s boxes too early because I received it a full week earlier than I normally do, buuuuut I’m not gonna complain ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ So here we have the March edition of my Sephora box. I’m sure most people reading know what this is by now, but Sephora Play is…

    Sephora Play! February 2017

    I know this post is coming to you super late but my review of February’s Sephora Play! box is here finally! I actually got this box over a week ago and have just been so busy I didn’t get a chance to do anything with it yet, but here we are at last. After last month’s was a bit of a dud, I’m happy to say that I’m WAY more excited about the contents of this box. As I say in every post: Sephora Play! is a beauty box for $10 a month for 6 products. You can see some…

    Friday Favorites #5 – 2/17

    Welcome to this week’s Friday Favorites! This week I pondered the idea of making this a monthly thing instead of weekly because sometimes it feels like I have trouble coming up with exciting things in my mundane life…but then I realized that’s kind of the point haha. One thing I want to mention before I do my list – remember how I mentioned Lady Gaga’s halftime show as one of my favorite things last week? Wellllllll me and some friends got tickets to her tour this week! So excited to see one of my favs in concert in just a few months!…

    Sephora Play! January 2017

    My first Sephora Play! box of the year arrived last week! Last month’s was a huge hit for me so I was really looking forward to what this one has in store. If you aren’t familiar with Sephora Play, be sure to check out some of my previous posts for an idea of what comes in these boxes. It’s a subscription box that’s $10 a month, and in the past few months they’ve really been focusing on switching things up with different variations. Each month it comes with 5 beauty products and a perfume. There’s usually a good variety of…

    Friday Favorites #2 – 1/27

    Welcome to the second edition of Friday Favorites! Again I have some fun stuff to share this week, so let’s jump right in 🙂 The Keurig K15 Classic Brewing System I’ve never been a heavy coffee drinker, but I like a cup every now and then. Our roommate is decidedly a coffee drinker though, and she recently acquired a new Keurig. It seems silly that I didn’t know how to use it, but I was clueless – my family never drank coffee at home growing up! She quickly taught me how to use it and I was mesmerized. I can…

    Target Beauty Boxes January 2017

    Yes, you’re reading that title right – this month Target released TWO versions of their Beauty Box! As I’ve said in previous posts, the Target Beauty Box usually costs $7-10 and is different than traditional subscription boxes because it doesn’t auto-renew. In other words: you have to remember to go and buy it every month. This month, they released a $5 box and a $10 box. I thought it would be fun to show you both boxes and see if we can guess which one was $5 and which was 10 B) I mean, obviously I already know but see if…

    The Great Makeup Reorganization of 2017

    It’s always nice to get a fresh start in the new year, and this year I decided to kick it off with a bang – with a gigantic reorganization of my makeup collection!! As you have probably guessed… I have a LOT of makeup. This post will probably be pretty lengthy!! Moving was the perfect time to do this reorganization too because it also allowed me to go through and toss a bunch of stuff! I tried to be pretty liberal here – I got rid of anything that was almost empty, hadn’t been used in more than a few…

    Target Beauty Box December 2016

    Happy Christmas Eve Eve!!! Like I mentioned in my Sephora box post, that box and this one arrived on the same day…it was a great mail day for me!! This is the December 2016 Target Beauty Box, and it’s really a treat – there’s a ton of great stuff in here!! Target boxes are different from other subscription boxes in that they aren’t actually a subscription – you have to remember to go on and order it each month. Well, I actually didn’t remember to do that so I originally missed out on this one and I was SO bummed…

    My Christmas List

    One of my favorite parts of Christmas is picking out the perfect presents for everyone. And every year I make a detailed list for my parents of gift ideas for me 🙂 My mom loves them haha, she says I make shopping so easy because I provide exact links and sizes and colors of everything I like. I originally wanted to post my shopping list of things I’m getting for others, but they all read my blog…so obviously that is not smart. Maybe after all the gift-giving is over I will share what I got for everyone <3 Anyway, today for the 12…
