What’s Your Wellness?

Wellness is a pretty big buzz word these days, and it can mean different things to different people. Dictionary.com defines wellness as "the quality or state of being healthy in body and mind, especially as the result of deliberate effort." Wellness is not something I really thought a lot about before I turned 30, but…

MOTD: Antique Rose

I've been in a bit of  a makeup rut lately I think. Actually scratch that, rut seems too negative. Basically I've been doing the same makeup look almost every day for the last few months, and although I like the look (it's easy and quick), I've just been itching to play around a little bit…

Review: The Ordinary Mineral UV Filters

I wear sunscreen on my face, neck, and hands every day (regardless of the season) and I'm always on the hunt for the perfect, non-greasy, lightweight facial sunscreen, especially during the summer when I'm less apt to fuss with foundation. I've found a few that I've really liked over the years (Biore UV Aqua Rich…

How Do You Store Your Beauty Bounty?

As I mentioned in my last post, I recently moved into a new apartment, and one of my favorite things about it is that there is so much storage space including built in shelving in my bathroom. A more responsible adult would probably use this space for towels and such, but I've dedicated the entire…

MOTD: Soft Smokey Eyes

My go-to look every day as of late has been easy on the eye makeup, relying mainly on lipstick to pull everything together. I recently moved and as I was packing up all my makeup (two boxes worth y'all), I realized I was missing some of my more dramatic looks. It just so happened that…

Skincare Sunday

Okay I realize it's Tuesday as this is posting, but I am pretty consistent about taking some time for a little extra skin attention on Sundays. This isn't my day to day routine, just that special something I like to do for myself once a week. My skincare routine on Sunday evenings involves a few…

Update Time!

Hello from the world's worst blog updater haha! It's been a long time since I've posted anything here, but I thought I'd check in and write an update about my weight loss and fitness journey as I've hit my year anniversary! It seems crazy to me that I'm a year into this adventure already!! I…

My Weekly Workout Routine

I've mentioned before that part of what can be intimidating about going to the gym is not knowing what you're doing. When I started working on being healthier, I started out slow. I had no idea what to do really, I just knew I needed to get up and get moving. As I have gotten…

What’s Your Most “Slept On” Beauty Product?

Every time there is a new product launch, you see every one writing about it, vlogging about, etc. for a couple of weeks to a month and then often it just fades into the background. Similarly, I sometimes get super excited for new stuff, but then ultimately end up forgetting about for a time before…

Tools for Success: What Keeps You Consistent?

As someone who has done plenty of yo-yoing as far as food and exercise goes, I've given myself just about every "out" you can there is over the years. Typically I'd decide I was going to make some changes, and then I'd dive head first into those changes for about a month before I burned…
