Everyday Makeup
Personally, I love learning what other women do for their everyday makeup routine. It is very interesting to hear other women’s favorite products. I was asked to share mine, and I thought it was a great idea. So, here is my everyday makeup routine. First of all, I start out with a great skincare routine. Skin care makes all the difference in makeup application and overall look. Concealer I begin my makeup routine by concealing my dreaded dark circles and the occasional blemish or two. My favorite one is the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser in Light. This one offers great coverage and brightens the under eyes well. Yes, it is mostly…

January Favorites
Since we are nearing the end of January, I want to share a few things I have been loving this past month with you. Let’s start with beauty. Naked 2 Basics Eyeshadow This month, I decided to splurge with my Ulta gift cards from Christmas and purchase this high-quality palette. This comes with 6 beautifully matte, cool-toned shades perfect for everyday wear. They are super pigmented and smooth, which makes them easy to apply. Whether you are a beginner or an expert with makeup, this is definitely worth every penny spent. $29 at Ulta Lush Ocean Salt Face and Body Scrub If you have never been into a Lush shop and…

Skincare Routine: Day + Night
I have been told many times that I have great skin (*blush*) and have been asked to share my secrets. If I am being completely honest, I have no secrets! Good skin runs in my family, and I have found products that work for me. That’s it! First, I want to talk a little bit about my skin type. I have combination/oily skin, which means that I get oily in my t-zone (the nose/forehead area) and am a bit drier towards the outside of my face. I also really only break-out around–ahem–“that time of the month,” and it is usually just one or two spots around my nose, forehead, or chin…

Christian Music
If you are thinking that you do not really want to read this post because it is about Christian music and you think Christian music can be boring, I encourage you to keep reading, and I hope I change your mind about this like mine was. Up until recently, I had never really liked listening to Christian music. Honestly, I always thought it was boring. I enjoy loud and upbeat music that makes me want to dance around or sing at the top of my lungs. I have never wanted my Christian life and love for Christ to be boring, and I desire to feel connected when I praise Him. The Christian music…

New Year’s Goals
Yes, I said goals and not resolutions. I recently heard a Y0uTube beauty guru talk about her view on the whole “new year’s resolutions” thing, and it really stuck with me. She said that resolutions are things from the past year that you wanted to “fix” and that “new year’s goals” were way more important. Goals are things in the new year that you want to achieve, improve on, or start, rather than fix and make right. Since I loved this idea so much, I thought I would share some of my new “goals” for the new year, and maybe you can get some ideas for your own goals instead…
