My Everyday Makeup Routine

My Everyday Makeup Routine (Under 10 Minutes) When it comes to makeup, I keep things pretty simple. I'm neither the girl who takes thirty minutes and contours everyday, nor the girl who just does a quick swipe of lip gloss and mascara. Instead, I fall somewhere in the middle, keeping things low maintenance but still allowing for coverage. I created a short little video to document the process, but I'm talking about each product below, giving a full description of why I love it and why it works. ... View the Post

Eyelash Extensions: Everything You Need To Know

My First Lash Experience Last year, about this time, I got my first set of eyelash extensions. They weren't exactly what I expected... I went to a local nail salon because they were running a special price on the extensions. I've always been a fan of long, beautiful lashes and couldn't resist the price point. I am a little weird when it comes to eyes. I don't like touching my eyes and one time I even passed out at the eye doctor because I was so freaked out after they dilated my eyes. Not ...

How To Get Hydrated, Dewy Skin

K: I'm so excited to be partnering with Neutrogena today because I've been using their products since I was twelve years old. The acne free face was was my first real face cleanser and their makeup line was the first brand of makeup I tried at age thirteen. Fast forward to my college years, and I noticed that my skin grew drier and drier, particularly in the winter months.

Bathroom Organization

K: On our blog survey, many of you expressed an interest in seeing more of our home. While some areas are still unfinished, we want to deliver on this subject and thought we'd start small with the bathroom. I absolutely love organization (you can see posts like this one and this one for proof) and the bathroom is just one of those areas that can fall by the wayside in keeping it tidy and organized. We feel lucky in the fact that we're sent a lot of new products to try out, but all of that can ... View the Post

Winter Hair Care

Let me start by saying that I don’t think I have good hair. My natural hair is extremely dark (like my brows), and I’ve regularly gotten highlights since college. My hair is stick straight, flat, and doesn’t hold a curl. In the age of the flat iron, I got by because my hair looks like it’s been straightened if I just let it air dry. Fast-forward to today’s time, and curls/waves are all the rage. I’ve always had trouble getting that textured wave but have always wanted to master it, especially as ... View the Post
