I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! I was so productive on Saturday. I woke up and spent the entire morning cleaning like crazy. I reorganized my closet, did five loads of laundry, dusted and cleaned our hardwoods and cleaned all of our cabinets (H helped too, which was awesome.) Then,we went to finish some Christmas ...
How I Organize & Store My Makeup
I filmed this video over the weekend and I realized I never posted it on my blog and since not everyone subscribes to my YouTube channel, I thought I'd post the link here. These are the trays I use to organize my makeup drawer. They are from The Container Store and they're fairly inexpensive. I feel fortunate to have a big drawer like this in our ...
Christmas Decor So Far…
I had some time this past weekend to start my Christmas decorating. I am still not 100% sure if I'm going to put up my tree this year. I have no idea where half of my decorations are after the move. I may do a mini tree. Until then, I'm perfectly happy to just have some holiday-themed decor in the house. Here are some snapshots of my holiday ...
Giveaway: Saadia Organics 100% Argan Oil
In the spirit of the holidays, I have a wonderful giveaway today from Saadia Organics. I was contacted by the lovely Joèl (who, by the way, is awesome) and she introduced me to their 100% Argan oil product by sending me a bottle to try. The only other Argan oil product I've ever used is the Moroccanoil, but that's only for your hair so ...

Five Tips on How to Look Polished/Put Together (90% of the Time)
Recently, I got a formspring question from one of my readers: How do you have the energy to get yourself ready and dressed everyday so nicely? I want to be that girl that always looks put together but then I get lazy or I think eh I'm not seeing anyone important today I'll look generic. Any tips? I thought this question would be a good one to lead ...
OOTD: Neon Azalea & Polka Dots!
OMG! It's an outfit of the day post! These are rare these days, because, let's be honest, I've been re-wearing like five outfits over and over. I finally got back into the excitement of daily dressing and was delighted to style my new J.Crew No. 2 Pencil Skirt (in the color "Neon Azalea") I paired it with one of my Black Friday finds (haul ...
How to Shop (For Less!)
When I get home from a shopping trip, I often quip to my husband "look how much money I saved!" while excitedly flapping my shopping bags in the air. It's usually met with an eye roll, but the hubs does oftentimes congratulate me on my shopping prowess. He even saves coupons for me when he sees them in the mail! True love! Obviously, ...
Holiday Shopping: Gifts for Men!
Alright, I'll admit it. I am the worst at picking out gifts for men. The main reason is that my H never really wants things. He likes to get gadgets, like any dude (big flat screen TVs, iPad, etc) but as far as other things...he could go a year without buying new clothes and be perfectly happy (not that I'd allow that!) I'm trying to fulfill ...
OOTD: That Striped Dress
I never thought I'd say this (ever) but I wish it was cold. I mean not "snowstorm minus 30 with a windchill making it feel like minus 40 cold, but cold.) I want to wear tights, boots, leg warmers, coats, hats and mittens. I'm still going to the office bare-legged, only dreaming of the days I can break out my tights and layer more. The last ...
