If you’ve been reading my blog for a while (or honestly not that long at all) you may remember my semi-recent posts about how I clean my beauty blenders and makeup brushes. Well, after a visit to a certain not-so-scary Halloween party, I discovered another beauty item that may need cleaning: false lashes! I don’t wear lashes all that often, mostly for special days or just when I feel like it. You obviously don’t have to clean your lashes if you plan on tossing them after one use, but I like to get multiple wears out of each pair of…

What’s In My Travel Makeup Bag
A few weeks ago you may recall my post about what I packed in my travel toiletry bag for our Pittsburgh trip last month. Today I’m bringing you my second travel-themed “what’s in my bag” post with everything that I keep in my travel makeup bag!! This is JUST the makeup that I brought with me for traveling – all of my skin care, makeup wipes, and other liquid stuff like that was in my toiletry bag 🙂 First I’ll start with the bag itself. This is the Sephora “Vacationer” travel makeup bag: I actually first saw this recommended in…

What’s in My Travel Toiletry Bag
Today I come to you with another of my “what’s in my bag” -style posts! Previously I’ve covered what’s in my work bag and what’s in my parks bag. In this one I’m sharing what I have in my toiletries bag for traveling. This post is mostly inspired by the fact that Chris and I are heading to Pittsburgh this weekend to visit family and I had to pack this bag anyway, but also partially because my new toiletry bag is the cutest thing EVER: It looks like the Disney Magical Express!!!!!!!! How cute is this!!!!! I saw this at…

How I Clean My Makeup Brushes
A few months ago I had a post about how to deep clean your beauty blenders, and I got a lot of nice feedback and messages saying it was really helpful! I decided to do a follow up post about how I wash my actual makeup brushes. After all, they need cleaning too! Washing makeup brushes is honestly a bit of a chore, but it is an absolutely necessary one. I used to wash them less frequently than I do now (we’re talking YEARS ago when I first got into makeup) but I noticed that I got more breakouts on…

How to Deep Clean a Beauty Blender
Like any makeup addict, I swear by and adore my Beauty Blender. Also like any makeup addict, I HATE cleaning my makeup brushes and the same goes for my makeup sponges. It’s especially important to wash out sponges regularly because they can grow bacteria so easily, but sometimes it seems like nothing can get them truly clean again. Today I have a super easy and relatively quick method to get your beauty blenders sparkling clean again!! I was taught this method by my friend Ana, who also turned me into a beauty blender fan to begin with, so she’s something of…

Friday Favorites #8 – 3/10
Welcomeeeeeee to this week’s Friday Favorites!! Here’s my favorite things from the week 🙂 My New Apple TV This is the big one this week!!! I’ve had an Apple TV for a few years now and I love it. It’s so convenient to be able to mirror any of our other Apple devices to the tv to watch videos or movies. Welllllll the NEW Apple TV has lots more features and apps, and you can use Siri with it too! I’ve been eyeing it for a while and I finally bit the bullet and I’m obsessed with it. The new…

What’s in My Park Bag
It’s been months since I published the What’s in My Work Bag post, but I decided it was finally time for a follow up with a new post! Today I’m showing you what’s in the bag that I take to the theme parks with me. I don’t frequent the parks as much as I used to, but especially with all the fun new things coming this spring and summer, I’m sure we’ll be in the area more! First things first – the bag part of this post! I’ve been living in Florida for going on four years now, so packing…

What’s in My Work Bag
I think the contents of a woman’s purse are very telling. It shows what she values and what her necessities are. For this reason, I always find the “what’s in my bag” videos and tags SO interesting. It’s a different, kinda personal look into someone’s life. This will be the first in a series of “what’s in my bag” posts – after this I plan to do my makeup bag as well as what I take to the theme parks 🙂 and that will probably be the end of the series until I think of any other bags lol I decided to…

My Wedding Planner
Today’s post is inspired by the fact that Chris and I officially booked our wedding venue today!!! The Chraela wedding will be February 2, 2018! 🙂 In this post I’ll be talking all about my Erin Condren Wedding Planner. After we got engaged, I was super excited to jump into wedding planning. I am a planner in every sense of the word. I use a binder-style planner with inserts to keep my life together, and I’m sure at some point on this blog I will have some posts dedicated to my spreadsheet obsession. I’m a very hands-on, plan-it-yourself type of person, and I knew…
