My Simple Everyday Makeup Routine

Some of my friends have asked about my everyday makeup routine so I figured that I would share it with everyone because it is SUPER easy and usually takes me less than 10minutes! Even my husband comments on the fact that I get ready quite quickly. Haha I’ve been doing the same makeup for a few years now. A friend of mine helped me figure out a natural makeup style for my wedding and honestly I haven’t really branched out since then. My skin is super sensitive so when I’m able to find some products that my skin seems to

I discovered the brand Boohoo while I was shopping on the ASOS website last year. I was looking for cute outfits to take on my trip to Los Angeles, and I realized that four out of the five dresses that I purchased were from Boohoo! Since then, I have purchased a few more things from that brand. It is a great brand because they have really cute and unique styles that are very affordable. Let’s Talk Sale Boohoo is having a major SALE right now on their website. Most items are discounted up to 60% off! I have found so

If you know me, you know that feminism and women’s empowerment are two social movements and ideologies that I like to stand behind. If you do not know me yet, you will learn that I am all about “girl power”. Therefore, I am excited to introduce you all (if you do not know BPD yet) to a brand that reflects perfectly feminism and girl power! Story behind Betsy Pittard Designs I discovered Betsy Pittard Designs when I worked at Cheeky Peach in Athens, GA. I loved the fact that Cheeky Peach was making a deliberate effort to carry local brands.

I was contacted by a local Jackson blogger (Laurel – The Hive) to be a part of a photo shoot to promote #MiracleTreatDay at Dairy Queen. At the time, I didn’t know much about #MiracleTreatDay, but it sounded like a good opportunity to meet other local bloggers and help them promote a great cause. I immediately said yes! When I arrived on location, Laurel explained what #MiracleTreatDay is all about, and I was thrilled to be there to help raise awareness for this great day and great cause! What is Miracle Treat Day at Dairy Queen? Miracle Treat Day was

I’ve had my ears double pierced since college, but right before turning 30 I suddenly felt the desire to get them triple pierced. I had seen lots of girls on Instagram and Pinterest wearing mix and match earring sets, and thought that they all looked really cool. Some of the girls who inspired me weren’t too “rock and roll”, and I felt like I could relate to them. For example, Emily Schuman, who is the founder of Cupcakes and Cashmere ,is so cute & always rocking the best earrings! Once I decided to get my ears pierced, it was super

I just got back from a trip to France where I spent time with my family and friends for two weeks, and it was amazing! Even though it’s summer, it was hotter than usual so I made sure to pack a lot of layering pieces in case I needed to adjust to the crazy weather. I also made sure to bring outfits that I could style different ways in order to “recycle” them throughout my vacation. That way, I always looked like I was wearing something different each day! Sharing some of my favorite items with y’all below. Hope you

Making and eating pasta is my favorite! One of the coolest things about growing up in Europe is having access to different cultures and foods. I learned from a young age to try different foods and to appreciate different flavors. Pasta is definitely one of my favorites. Pair it with a good wine and I’m your date! I went to Rome, Italy with my family one summer, and eating real Italian pasta in a local family-owned restaurant was a really cool experience. When I travel, I always want to eat at the restaurants where locals go to get the “real
