Drugstore Lip Combo

I get asked about my lip combo all the time. While I do change it up often, my favorite are MAC liner, lipstick, and gloss, that can be on the pricier side. I found 3 dupes that create the same look at a fraction of the cost. All can be found at any drug store but I got mine from amazon, 2 day shipping on Prime. Let’s get started!

Hair Curling Tools & Products

I have done both hair crimping and a hair curling tutorials over on Instagram and here I’m sharing the tools and products I use to achieve the look. Good products give you good hair. Period. I truly believe that BUT, that being said, quality doesn’t necessarily mean expensive. I look for products safe for color treated hair, no parabens, and heat protectant. Also, your tools should be good quality as well. Let’s get started!

My Everyday Makeup Routine

While we are all in self-quarantine, I decided to do a much requested makeup tutorial and link all the products I use. I like to mix it up for the season and try new brands, but for now these are my favorites. I have to say, primers are your friend. If you are not using some sort of face primer, you are missing out and it could be the reason it looks like your makeup changes throughout the day. I will link all of the primers I use(not just the one in the first picture). Let’s get started!

Whats In My Bag

Since I shared Simplifieds’ Instagram post about emptying your purse and making a little bag of essentials, I shared with you that I already have a bag of essentials in my car. Well, now you all want to know whats in that bag. Haha. I like to keep this bag separate from my purse for a few reasons. For one thing, I change my purse frequently. Secondly, the Hubs keeps NOTHING in his car so if I’m with him, or take his car, I don’t want to be stuck. Lastly, if I go with someone else, I can grab this bag, throw it in my purse of the day, and go knowing I have everything I need. I am all about the “Just in Case”. Let’s get started!

Setting Goals for 2020

2020 is here whether we like it or not people! A new year can be a new start and it gets me thinking about the year ahead. I’m not one to make “resolutions”. I feel like the word itself co-insides with the word “diet”. A diet is temporary, I don’t want temporary. I need a lifestyle. I try to add onto things I’m already doing to make my life easier, more enjoyable. Let’s get started!
