    Walmart Beauty Box Winter 2017

    It’s been a while since my last Walmart Beauty Box way back in October, and today I have the Winter box to share! The Walmart Beauty Box is a quarterly subscription box. It’s marketed as a box of free samples for which you only have to pay shipping, which is $5. So whatever way you slice it, it’s a $5 box. The winter box is only my second Walmart box, but I’ve gotten quite a few from Target, Sephora and Amazon since then, so I have more of a handle on this whole beauty box thing now! The winter box is SO…

    Teddy Supplies (or: Everything I Bought When I Adopted a Dog)

    When I got my little pup Teddy, it obviously wasn’t my first time having a dog. But I haven’t lived at home with my dogs for years and I’ve never had one of my OWN to take care of, so I had to stock up on a few things for his arrival! Luckily, since my parents took care of him before I got him, they knew his preferences for food, toys, etc. and were able to pass along those things to me. We also went shopping while they were here to pick up a few last items. In this post…

    Friday Favorites – 1/20

    Like I mentioned in my Top 5 post earlier this week, I’ve got a couple of ideas up my sleeve to stay on track with my New Years resolution to keep up with my blog.  I think one of the best ways to make myself do that is to do a weekly series so I’m FORCED to keep up with it 😉 So today I’m introducing another new series, called Friday Favorites! Every Friday I’ll write about my favorite fun or interesting things from the week in a sort of roundup post. Since another thing I wanted to do this year is focus on positive things…

    Amazon Beauty Box Reviews

    You know what I say…another day, another beauty box! Like in my last Target boxes post, I have TWO boxes to show today, and they’re both new to me. Today I have the Amazon Beauty Sample Box and the Amazon Luxury Beauty Box. I had no idea that Amazon did a beauty box – I got the luxury one for Christmas and the regular sample one just a few days ago. From what I can tell, there are a few differences between Amazon boxes and other subscription boxes: Amazon boxes are offered exclusively to Amazon Prime members. If you aren’t already a Prime…

    Top 5: Tabletop Games

    One of my many New Years’ Resolutions was to keep up with my blog and in an effort to do that, I have a bunch of fun ideas planned. The first one I’m implementing is a new series of posts I’m super excited about! I’m calling this my Top 5 – posts in which I’ll share list of my top 5 things in different categories. I’m really pumped to write these posts because it will bring more variety to my blog and let me cover more topics I’m interested in. For my first post, I’m writing about my top 5 favorite tabletop games to play with friends!…

    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…

    Bare Minerals/Buxom Gift Set Review & Swatches

    Today I have a review of something really cool that I got for Christmas – a massive gift set of BareMinerals and Buxom products!! I didn’t really know what to call this post, because this set doesn’t really have a name, but I wanted to write about it anyway 🙂 My mom is really good at getting sets like this for a great price – this one contains 14 products!!! Also I had no idea that these two brands had the same parent company but here we are. Anyway, I was so excited to receive this box because I’ve tried very…

    2017 Goals & Looking Back on 2016

    Happy New Year!I hope you had a lovely and safe night ringing in 2017 – I kissed my dog at midnight 🙂 This probably won’t feel like a typical post on my blog…but I’m feeling particularly introspective today haha I haven’t always been the type to make annual New Years’ resolutions. I sometimes feel like I shouldn’t need a new year to make changes in my life, but it seems like as good of an excuse as any to do so. For the past two years now, I have made a list of things that I hope will happen in the coming…
