DIY Mason Jar Succulents

I saw this really cool painting technique one day whilst scrolling through my Facebook feed and knew I had to try it out!  Using nail polish as your paint also seems to fit my theme really well — the beauty guru turned lifestyle maven. I have all of these fun, bright Spring polishes, and yet…

Spring Fashion Haul | Pink Blush!

This may come as a shock, but I actually really dislike shopping.  Especially clothes shopping.  In fact, it’s become somewhat of a tradition for me to just do one big online haul each spring.  After falling majorly in love with their maternity and nursing lines last year, I chose Pink Blush as this year’s shopping destination….

Review & Swatches | VMV Hypoallergenics Makeup

“100% All-Types-Of-Fragrance-Free. 100% Dye-Phthalate-Paraben + Preservative-Free. Non-Comedogenic. Non-Drying. Non-Darkening. Usage + Patch-Tested.”  That statement is generally not what you find on most cosmetics.  VMV Hypoallergenics is a brand that was recently introduced to me, and while I’ve not had very good luck with more natural products in the past, I’ve been really pleasantly surprised by…

Fresh Friday: Bronzed & Naked

TGIFF!  I hope y’all had a wonderful week, and are ready to start the weekend off right.  This bronzed look has been a favorite of mine recently, and it was the look I was wearing in last week’s Spring/Summer Foundation Routine video.  A few of you requested it, and I couldn’t wait to share it…

Fresh Friday: Spring/Summer Foundation Routine

Happy Fresh Friday!!  Since my last makeup tutorial was an evening smoky eye, I wanted to lighten things up a bit for this week’s look.  This has been my foundation routine for a few weeks now, and I’m absolutely loving it.  I can’t stand the feeling of a lot of makeup on my face when…

Spring Haul 2013: Forever 21 & … Costco?!

With all of the Spring sales going on, I just couldn’t help myself.  I don’t particularly like shopping in stores, but I’m totally down with shopping online.  No hassle, no driving, no dressing rooms, no getting dressed.  Uhhh…what? I don’t wear yoga pants every day…  I’m getting off topic.  Let’s just get to it, shall…

March ’13 Favorites

Happy April, y’all!  Doing these monthly favorites videos just really makes me realize how quickly time flies by!  Is it just me?  This month went by especially quickly because we had friends in for SXSW and then my parents were just in town for Easter.  It got me all thrown off my filming/posting schedule, but…

Easy Spring Makeup | Pink & Luminous

As the weather gets warm and Spring arrives, I like to lighten up my makeup.  For one thing, a lot of makeup in warm weather usually makes for a melty face.  Not a good look for anyone!  Plus you want to look natural, healthy, and fresh, so today I’ll be showing you a great way…
