Happy Friday! Lets get started! CAN’T STOP LISTENING TO… The Thousandth Floor series by Katharine McGee (who is a fellow Houstonian!) I’m on the third and final book in the series and just love it. These are totally YA novels – kind of like Gossip Girl set 100 years in the future – so if you’re into that, this is the series for you. I may be a ...

How to Grow Your Lashes + Brows & My Eye Makeup Routine
Thank you Nordstrom for sponsoring this post. Eyebrows have always been one of my most prioritized features. I used to pluck them really thin (#highschoolbrows) and when I was 15 or so, my modeling agency told me I had to grow them back (ie: not pluck them ever until they fully grew out). Once they did, I finally realized that my brows were ...
The Best Way to Store Your Curling Iron & Hot Tools
In our last home, I used a hot iron holster on my countertop to hold my curling and flat iron. It wasn't ideal as I like to keep counters pretty clear, but I didn't have a ton of under-the-sink storage in this bathroom, so the hot iron holster worked for the space and I do recommend this method if you have a counter with overhang (not up ...
The Best Red Nail Polishes
Last week, I asked you on IG stories about your favorite red nail polishes. I wore red polish pretty much exclusively for the last couple months and am kind of addicted now, so I'm always looking to expand my collection. You can read about how I paint my nails at home, here. THE BEST RED NAIL POLISHES: OPI Red: My go-to winter shade. ...

Cle de Peau Concealer Review
Thank you Nordstrom for sponsoring this post! One night, while watching my Instagram stories, I came upon a very convincing review of a CLÉ DE PEAU BEAUTÉ concealer. I swiped up, saw the price and tapped forward. I had never tried any Cle de Peau products before, but my intrigue prompted a deep-dive into reading reviews ...
Beauty Products for Your Summer Vacation
Thank you Walmart for sponsoring this post! I’ve got the beach on my mind this week (hello, Seaside!) and wanted to share products I pack to keep my skin and hair looking its best on a beach vacation. I’m a creature of habit and don’t change up my beauty products much, even when traveling, but I wanted to share a few items I’m taking with me ...
Affordable Summer Makeup + Skin Care Staples
Thank you Walmart for sponsoring this post! I'm thrilled to be sharing a makeup and skin care post today that features affordable options from brands that have been beauty routine staples for me for years (plus a couple of new products too!) I'm a big fan of mixing high and low and that goes for my outfits and beauty routine. I purchased all of ...
My Favorite Nail Polishes for Summer + How I “Do My Nails in Bed”
I’ve been painting my nails at home for as long as I can remember. I love getting professional pedicures at a nail salon and won't ever give those up, but I find my nails chip so quickly when I get a professional manicure (even Shellac) that the price + time commitment simply isn’t worth it.I’ve shared before that I paint my nails in bed so they ...
Should You Try a Facial Roller?
Thank you Nordstrom for sponsoring today's post! All product selections and opinions are my own. Just like using essences on my skin, I'm about three years behind on the trend of facial rolling. I first started seeing jade and rose quartz facial rollers pop up on Instagram and YouTube and I was intrigued, but didn't want to add one more step to my ...
