This is one of those real love 'em or hate 'em type of posts. Some people think it's a bit bratty to post about the gifts you received for Christmas. I, however, am on the other side of things. I love these types of posts because I am absolutely nosy and love to see what interesting gifts everyone got. You honestly never realize...

I know most of you are off enjoying your holiday-- so am I! That is why I've queued up this post with some pictures of my Christmas decorations. I've added some holiday spirit to my home, and on Christmas day I'll add a bit to my blog. Enjoy! The tree, looking all bright and happy. My mom made these little bows to put...

The lovely Erin over at Two Thirds Hazel came up with this lovely survey for us bloggers inspired by the celebrity questionnaire in Cosmopolitan magazine! It was right up my alley as a small-time blog as it is a nice way for my readers to get to know me without being too trite, right? If you would like to fill out the survey for...

Source I don't usually "discover" new music. I stick to my classic rock, what I listening to in high school, and what is on the radio. So when I get introduced to something new, it is super exciting. That is what happened with these girls: Haim, the kind of indie-pop band of gorgeous sisters (that I kind of wish I could be). Thank...

As a person with less-than-perfect skin, I am always on the hunt for the perfect foundation. For reference, I have redness from mild rosacea and acne scars on my cheeks and chin. My skin also is pretty unpredictable-- it can do from super dry to extremely oily in the T-zone in a week. So you can see why I might have trouble finding...

While I was out searching for the new limited edition Maybelline Color Tattoos (which still haven't hit my area-- sad face), I ran into these little beauties. I'm a sucker for jumbo lip pencils and matte lip color, so I was all over this. I've been purchasing a lot of darker colors lately, so I decided to go in the opposite direction and buy...

Not a very catchy title, I'll admit. Like I said, I have been super busy with school and work since everything started up at the end of August. So when I have the chance to relax or do something a little fun-- bonus points if I can write about it for work!-- I jump on the opportunity. So here is a little bit...

It's been nearly a month since my last update. I could do another life update post but-- hello!-- I have already done enough of those and, trust me, it would be boring. I have been busy and stressed and now I'm sick on top of it all. I've been feeling a little down, so I searched the internet to find some inspiring quotes... and just...

It's been a while since I've found myself jamming to certain songs on repeat. And, yes, I did just use the word jamming. It is a very under appreciated word. But in the last couple of weeks I've finally gotten hip to some pretty awesome music that I cannot stop playing-- and if I'm not playing it, I'm singing it in my head....

I know everyone says it, but it is hard to believe August is already over. And while I'm sad to see it go-- after all, my birthday was in August-- I'm ready for autumn. I'm ready for more coffee, cooler weather, sweaters, boots, and of course the makeup choices. But this post will show you the products I was loving in this last...
