11 Things I’ve Really Been Loving Lately

I hope you are keeping warm and enjoying the season! I’ve been elated that it seems to have cooled down a bit more consistently in NC (at least for now) and we have enjoyed doing some of the typical Autumn activities for sure. Today, is all about the things that I have been using a bunch- a whole bunch! So today I have a mixture of clothing and accessory items, one lifestyle love of mine, and of course a few beauty- related things that I have been loving lately. Happy Reading, friends!

Lumene Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover– This has been a nice little addition to my routine at night before washing my face. I made a mistake and grabbed waterproof mascara the last time I bought mascara and we all know how annoying that can be! This remover is awesome at getting all eye make up off quickly so I am not tugging on my eye area when used with a cotton pad. It’s very affordable, doesn’t burn my eyes, and is comparable to many higher end removers.
Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Shower Gel– This has been so appropriate for the season! It not only smells yummy like pumpkin, gingersnaps, and vanilla, but it lathers well and leaves my skin with a light scent reminiscent of all things Fall.
Lancôme Tiente Idole Ultra 24HR Foundation– I have used this a lot when going out and about over the past few weeks. It looks incredibly natural, which is important in a foundation for me. I find that I don’t need more than a dot or two to get a matte and even base on my entire face. It doesn’t transfer or get shiny on me, which is a pretty big deal with my oily skin. I apply with my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush and it all works wonderfully together.
Soap & Glory Heel Genius Foot Cream– I am becoming a major Soap & Glory fan and have been using and loving lots of their creams lately! This foot cream has been great [Read more…]

Fall Fashion Trends

While going out and shopping around a bit, I have been so inspired to try some of the Fall 2015 Fashion trends. There are lots of new shoe and accessory trends out this year! For Fall 2015, I think that the 70’s inspiration in shoes, accessories, and fashion overall is so fun! Think Earthy stone jewelry, capes and ponchos, big geo shaped earrings, lots and lots of fringe, suede boots and other suede items, [Read more…]

I am happy to share some great new beauty finds for my second post on what I have been loving lately. Grab a warm drink, get comfy, and let’s talk beauty! [Read more…]

Fall Nail Polish Ideas

There are so many things I like about the Fall time: rich and moody colors, the fashion, the fabulous boot options, leather moto jackets galore, fun scarves, warm fall drinks, and the inviting feel of Fall home decor are just a few. I really like to experiment with nail polish and I go between using an at home gel system and actually polishing my nails with traditional polish. With the new season quickly approaching, I thought it would be fun to share some of my picks for great Fall 2015 nail colors. You’ll see a couple of “oldies but goodies” and also some that are from newer collections. All are equally pretty awesome colors. If you try any of these recommendations, just be sure to use a good base coat such as CND Stickey Base Coat and good fast dry shiny top coat such as Seche Vite when you polish your nails. These two really make polishing your nails a breeze, whether you’re a mommy or are simply one busy lady 🙂 It only takes 15-20 minutes to do your nails start to finish with the fast dry topcoat. Just be sure to apply it to wet polish for it to work effectively. Try them all, and you’ll be glad you did! Enjoy!

Tom Ford Toasted Sugar– this is so gorgeous to me! It is a great nude shade that will provide a barely-there polished look to any outfit worn this fall.
Butter London Lovely Jubbly – this is such a fun glitter polish for all year round, but I particularly like the idea of wearing this with lots of black layered pieces and a good scarf this fall to really showcase the blue, pink, and purple glitter.
