Happy March everyone! Spring is almost here! Or at least I hope so, currently we're experiencing freezing rain here in Ohio and it's supposed to snow again tomorrow. It's not that I mind the snow, it's just the having to leave the house when there's snow thing. Anyway, I thought I'd do my first monthly favorites post! This month's favorites are all newer purchases (aside from the eye shadow palette and Jo Malone perfume sample) that I'm really enjoying! Pura d'or: If you didn't catch my ...
How I Traveled to 7 Countries for a Month for Under $5,000
I still remember when my friend Julia (from Gracefully Julia, you must check out her page!) and I first started talking about traveling in Europe after she graduated. We made a list of all the places we wanted to go and figured out how long, two months maybe? My parents just laughed it off, they were certain it would never happen. I had a job at the time and quitting really wasn’t an option after my trouble finding a job the last time I returned from Europe (Read all about that lovely ...
NYX Intense Butter Gloss – Review & Swatches
A couple weeks ago I picked up the new NYX Intense Butter Gloss range at Ulta. There's 12 shades and I just couldn't resist trying them all! Some things remain the same as the original Butter Glosses, the texture is still that wonderful non-sticky feeling and the scent is still perfectly sweet. But there's one main difference: they're all super pigmented. The applicator is also a little different than originals, it's a flat spatula applicator. It made it pretty easy to apply the ...
Nutella and Orange Hot Chocolate
Good morning! This Sunday is the last of my quick hot chocolate series and I made some Nutella and orange hot chocolate! I really loved this mixture and I hope you will too! As with the other recipes, it's super simple! Only three ingredients: milk, Nutella and pure orange extract. Fill your favorite mug with milk. I picked this one up in November in Disney World and I absolutely love it! It's matte black and looks as if it was done with chalkboard paint and has some wonderful Disney ...
Benefit’s Roller Lash Mascara – Review
Yesterday I received my February Birchbox in the mail and was so excited to find Benefit's new Roller Lash! This mascara has been absolutely every where on the blogs lately and I couldn't wait to give it a try! The packaging is super cute and as always it has such a great retro vibe to it. The claims are that the eye-opening Hook ‘n’ Roll™ brush grabs, separates, lifts and curls…while the instant curve-setting formula holds for 12 hours. 87% said it gives long-lasting curls, 97% said it visibly ...
Pura d’or
Sponsored Post I think it was when I started college that my hair started thinning, thanks to what I believe was mix of stress and anxiety. Graduating and stepping into the real world hasn't helped much either. It's frustrating to say the least. I've tried countless products, hoping to make my hair appear thicker, but nothing ever seems to do the trick. So when I read about Pura d'or's Premium Organic Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner which is supposed to help prevent hair loss as well ...
