The Best Amazon Leggings
The long-awaited Amazon leggings post is here! I have two of the most incredible leggings in this post (I love on pair so much I have multiple colors!)

What’s In My Shower
We had a shower niche built into our shower when our home was under construction and it has been the most wonderful thing! I love that it has two ledges to hold our products and blends in with the subway tile (they also used marble on parts of the niche).

The BEST Drugstore Mascaras
I’ll admit it – I love higher end makeup products and don’t mind splurging on bronzers, blushes, foundations, finishing powders and more. But one product that I find myself using almost exclusively drugstore products for is mascara. I’ve used high-end mascaras that are great too, but I keep going back to these affordable ones that give amazing ...
