In a Flurry Snowy Makeup

I've been having a crazy couple of weeks!  Our pug puppy Polly was spayed and had surgery to open up her nostrils a couple of weeks ago.  We knew that she would need to wear a cone while she healed but whoa doggy.  What a pain in the tush for both Polly and her humans… Continue reading In a Flurry Snowy Makeup

Influenster and Becca Velvet Blurring Primer

The cooler temperatures are rolling in.  My kitchen is being filled with the scents of apples, pumpkin and, of course, nachos.  I've already baked an apple spice cake, pumpkin cheesecake and banana bread.  I'm in autumn spices heaven.  Will I overdose on pumpkin spice?  Yes.  Yes I will.  And I will do it with a… Continue reading Influenster and Becca Velvet Blurring Primer

Stay Cool August Glossybox

As I mentioned in my August Ipsy post, I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of autumn.  I'm working on fending off a cold along with an autoimmune flare.  Summer colds are particularly annoying because you're usually battling the heat while trying to break a fever.  It's total hot garbage juice!  I was in a prednisone… Continue reading Stay Cool August Glossybox

Biggie Mac Nachos

Nachos.  My favorite food of all time.  A comforting friend that is always there to make you feel warm and fuzzy.  When I first started my blog, I wanted to create a space for ranting about two things near and dear to my heart:  makeup and nachos.  I've been so distracted by tinkering with my… Continue reading Biggie Mac Nachos

National Lipstick Day!

A year or two ago I was ranting and raving in a fit of confusion over National Broccoli.  I had seen an exuberant instagram post that had a picture of dancing broccoli, hash tagged #nationalbroccoliday. National Broccoli Day?!  Why???  I was confused as to why there was a day that I had never heard of… Continue reading National Lipstick Day!

Over Easy, I Love Ipsy

I swear that it feels like I blinked my eyes and July has almost come to an end.  Where did the summer go?  Only one month to go before September.  Here in the northeastern part of the United States, we haven't seen the brutal heat that my friends in the western region of the country… Continue reading Over Easy, I Love Ipsy

Get Glowing with Glossybox

Do I have too many beauty products?  In my humble opinion, no.  Although I often find myself mumbling to myself "We're gonna need a bigger boat" when trying to find the space for new arrivals.  But if you're looking to curb spending too much dough on beauty goods, subscription services are the most bang for… Continue reading Get Glowing with Glossybox
