Key West Aloe & Giveaway

February 11, 2016

Product Sample

After our trip to Key West, Florida, I wrote a little travel guide from some of the places we visited and what we enjoyed. One of those things I mentioned was the bath and body products we used in our hotel. Yes, really. I’m one of those travelers. You know, the kind that pilfers the shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and body wash… if it’s good, anyway. Our hotel was smart, they had large reusable containers that I couldn’t swipe, but I figured I’d order from the company when I returned home.

Well, lucky for me, Key West Aloe found my post and sent me a fun goodie box of products. Unbeknownst to me, they also sell dog products made of aloe too. Rigby and I were more than excited to try out more of their aloe goodness and I want to share my thoughts with you today!

Romantic Half Top Knot Hair Tutorial

February 10, 2016

Affiliate Links / Product Sample

So, this week I’ve covered a makeup tutorial that would be perfect for Valentine’s Day… what about a hair tutorial to go with it? I was playing around this weekend and came up with this slightly messy, slightly romantic, and super easy half top knot hair tutorial. I promise it’s easy and will only take you about 15 minutes including curling your hair! (Because let’s be honest if you’re anything like me you really don’t want to spend hours on your hair!)

Who What Wear Target Collection // Shopping Guide & Try On Haul

February 9, 2016

Affiliate Links 
Last week Target launched their latest “designer” collaboration… except it wasn’t with a well-known designer, but instead the founders of Who What Wear, a popular fashion blog. When I saw the press release and lookbook, I was super excited. Stripes, florals, bright pops of color… the collection looked like my jam.

However, when I was online at midnight… nothing showed up online. I waited and waited and finally gave up and went to bed. I set my alarm for the next morning to hit Target to see it in person. And then my phone died, so my plans to post a “fitting room” try on was completely foiled. When I got to the racks… I was disappointed. A lot of the pieces I most wanted to try, like the lace tunic and floral trench, were nowhere to be found and still aren’t online. Other pieces looked and felt too cheap. The blue moto jacket, for instance, was not available in my size, but I wouldn’t have bought it anyway – it was super thin and did not look very nice regardless of the price. The cape blazer was also MIA.

I carried on because I genuinely wanted to like this collection… but after taking a sampling of pieces I genuinely thought I’d love home, I’m not so sure.

Valentine’s Day Makeup Tutorial

February 8, 2016

Sponsored Post: Today I’m partnering with Maybelline and Collective Bias to share my looks to love just in time for Valentine’s Day. All opinions are my own. :) #MNYLookstoLove #CollectiveBias

Since Valentine’s Day falls on Sunday this year, what better way to spend the day than going on a fun afternoon date with the special person in your life? I thought it would be fun to prepare ahead of time with a little day date appropriate makeup just in time for the big (or small, depending on how you feel about Valentine’s Day) holiday.

While we’re never ones to go over the top with celebrating, I’ll take any excuse to find a new outfit, don a fun makeup look, and enjoy my company on a fun new adventure. Regardless of what you have planned for the day, be it a Galentine’s Fete, a special night out, or just chilling at home, I’m pretty sure you can’t go wrong with a lovely blush toned eye and a red lip. So grab a couple of your Maybelline favorites like The Blushed Nudes Palette & the Falsies Push Up Drama Mascara and let’s get started!

Valentine’s Day DIY Hot Cocoa Bar & Giveaway

February 4, 2016

Affiliate Links / Product Sample: Starbucks sent me some products for review, but my coffee/chocolate addiction and thoughts are my own. Just Four Kicks also sent me a copy of their game as a gift.

What do you do when you have leftover Christmas candy, Valentine’s candy, and a bunch of Starbucks Hot Cocoa calling your name? You create a DIY Hot Cocoa Bar, obviously. We have dinner with my side of the family every other Sunday, and I thought it would be fun to have a little hot cocoa over a new-to-me card game called Just Four Kicks. I’d kept seeing pins for these DIY hot cocoa bars, and while I did not create anything nearly as fancy, it probably tasted just as good!

With a few boxes of Starbucks Hot Cocoa and VIA instant coffee for those with a craving for caffeine, we had the base for our bar. Add in a couple of handfuls of candy, some marshmallows, and your favorite whipped topping you can create a fun hot cocoa toppings bar for a special Valentine’s Day treat. Obviously if everyone is of age, feel free to throw in some extra special ingredients if you get my drift. We opted to stick to keep it PG on this particular night, however. ;)
