I hope everyone had a safe and happy thanksgiving! Ours was spent with my husband's wonderful parents and my best friend who joined us for a turkey dinner. Candice even baked an apple pie (from scratch) and it was delicious! I couldn't have asked for a better thanksgiving. I was able to get some reading done this weekend. I had ...

My Top Mascara Picks: Dior, L’Oreal, CoverGirl and Make Up For Ever
I've been on a roll lately with my product reviews so I thought I would continue my review-a-thon with a post about my favorite mascaras. Plural, because, uh, I love too many of them to choose just one. From L-R (please note that I only use waterproof mascaras. I don't like any formulas that aren't waterproof) Cover Girl Lash Blast ...
Product Reviews: Urban Decay 24/7 Liner, YSL Touche Eclat, Ole Henriksen Ultimate Eye Lift Gel
I've ordered a lot of products from Sephora lately so I wanted to give a little review to 3 products that I'm really excited about. For Lining Your Waterline Number one is Urban Decay's 24/7 Eyeliner in "Zero." It's actually much better than my Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes Eyeliner for the waterline, specifically. It goes on smooth ...
Weekend Shopping: Sephora & Victoria’s Secret
Last night I went on a cleaning spree. I think that anytime I'm stressed or sad, I turn to cleaning to center myself and feel "in control." I spent at least 2 hours cleaning out my closet last night (I also cleaned the bedroom and bathroom.) I even took all of the socks (mine and my husband's) out of the sock drawer and threw all the ...
Returning It: Redken Body Full Instant Bodifier & Requested: IRL Pics of the CR Boots
Redken Body Full Instant Bodifier. Oh do I have things to say about this product. Usually I post product raves, but sadly (and I wanted to love this) this gets a big thumbs-down from me. It's from their new Body Full line and I thought I'd pick it up when I was at Ulta over the weekend since it was so highly recommended by ...
OOTD: Zara Black Dress & Cooking Healthy Meals
Today I decided that H and I would try to cook 2 new meals a week. I got this awesome cook book from my amazing friend Ed for my birthday called "Eating Well Serves Two" and I must admit I haven't ever really used it. I would like to learn how to make yummy, healthy meals now so when we have kids I can just whip it up ...
Products I Won’t Repurchase (& What You Can Use Instead)
Sometimes I see a product that looks exciting and then when I use it it's just OK. Most of you ladies know that I am pretty consistent when I like something. I will repurchase the same products over and over because I know they deliver the results I'm looking for. I would never discover new HG products if I didn't try new things, but not ...
We Got An Elliptical, Some OOTD’s & OPI’s “Midnight in Moscow” Polish
Hello ladies! We made it through another Tuesday! Today was an exciting day for me because we got an elliptical machine! The wonders of Facebook connected me with a friend who was selling hers and so we got this lovely elliptical for just $100. It's so essential for me to get cardio since I quit the gym so this will be perfect for ...

Requested: Lash Routine & OOTD: Black, White & Gold. Plus: I Quit the Gym
I've been getting a lot of requests to post about my lash routine so I am going to do it in this post! Thank-you to everyone who requested this post. Here are a few images of my finished lash look: I like really thick, soft, feathery looking lashes. I notice a lot of women have sort of a clumped-together look and I'm not sure if it depends ...
