neuLASH Lash Enhancing Serum Review | HUGE BLACK FRIDAY SALE!

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I can’t believe Thanksgiving is almost here. If you’re looking for a gift for yourself, your friend, your sister, your mom, MIL… consider taking advantage of the neuLassh, neuBROW, and neoMASCARA which will be BOGO to the first 50 customers on Black Friday and after the entire website will be 25% off! I received neuLash lash serum and I was excited to try it and compare it to the other lash serum I’ve used previously.

neuLash Lash Enhancing Serum

I love how easy this was to apply with an eyeliner-like brush. You simply apply it to your lashline, just like you would with eyeliner, after removing your makeup in the evening. I did not experience any irritation or darkening of my undereye area when using this. I had used another serum in the past and while it did make my lashes longer I felt that they were straighter than my normal decently naturally curled lashes and they didn’t hold a curl as well. I found that the neuLash worked better than the other serum because my lashes looked thicker, I could even see new lash growth in less than a month, and the neuLash didn’t make my lashes go straight. neuLASH is a hero product!

I think this would be a very nice stocking stuffer but it’s very nice, and a bit pricy for a stocking stuffer, and could absolutely be a standalone gift for any woman in your life!

You can purchase it right from the neuLASh website or I love that Nordstrom, one of my favorite and most trusted retailers, carries it. I love this set on Nordstrom because it comes with two, one for you and one for a gift.

Morning Glamour | Stocking Stuffers For Women and Teen Girls

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I am so excited to share my FAVORITE new brand for stocking stuffers. Morning Glamour reached out to me and as soon as I saw the products I knew I wanted to try them. Morning Glamour offers satin pillowcases, satin sleepmasks, satin scrunchies, heatless curling kits, shower caps, and several other giftable products.

I picked out three products from Morning Glamour that I was so excited about and can’t wait to share them with you.

Morning Glamour

The Satin Pillowcase

I’ve been using satin pillowcases for years and I won’t go back to a regular pillowcase. I love that my hair doesn’t get frizzy, and as a woman in my 30’s I want to use something that is the least likely to wrinkle my skin or cause breakouts. And I don’t want my skincare absorbing into the regular (cotton) pillowcase. This pillowcase has cute packaging, and it feels so nice.

5 Pack Hair Scrunchies Gift Box

This is super cute, I am a total sucker for the packaging! I love having scrunchies like this when I need to wear my hair up in a loose topknot when sleeping or in a pony when hanging out in the evenings, especially after I’ve put on lotion or self-tanner and need my hair up but don’t want it to crease.

Satin Heatless Curler

I was so excited to get this! I saw the legging curling method go viral on TikTok and my daughter is 12 and will absolutely love this. I am excited to try it, too. The packaging is nice, it’s a fun and large item that would make a fine standalone gift for only $15!

HarlanMD SmartLotion | Eczema Relief

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Our son has eczema so when HarlanMD offered to send me HarlanMD SmartLotion I was excited to try it.

HarlanMD SmartLotion

If you have eczema and dermatitis then HarlanMD SmartLotion is something I would suggest you try. Our son has suffered from eczema since he was a baby, he is now almost 11. Dr. Harlan a board-certified dermatologist, has made creating a product and bringing hope of an eczema-free America his life work. I appreciate the postcard-sized informational pages included, and the fact that if his support staff cannot answer your questions, Dr. Harlan has committed to doing so personally. I spent some time on the website and it’s very well-done and informative.

I have been using this in place of our other favorite eczema, sensitive skin lotion and have been impressed. We apply this lotion after our son bathes and has toweled dry.

You can purchase the lotion here. I think this would make a thoughtful gift, and I appreciate that it supports a small start-up business in America with a positive product they’re hoping to share.

Do you have eczema? What has helped you?

5 Stocking Stuffers For Women From Target

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I know, it isn’t quite Halloween, but we have now entered the time of year where every time I buzz into Target, Walmart, or another Big Box store I try to pick up at least one stocking stuffer type item for someone on my holiday shopping list. Today I am sharing stocking stuffers from Target for her.

5 Stocking Stuffers For Women From Target

Carmex Daily Care Moisturizing Assorted Flavor Mini SPF 15 Lip Balm

These are great! I always have one on me, and this set is easy to split up. They cost $1/mini lip balm.

Avatara Niacinamide Water Gel Face Mask

Affordable facemasks that are fun to do and make your skin look and feel so nice.

Tweezerman Glass Manicure Set 

I swear by my glass nail file, and while this set is a bit more expensive at $25, it makes for a nice gift that many wouldn’t have or think to buy themselves.

e.l.f. Liquid Glitter Eyeshadow 

I love to add a dab of this on the center of my lid when going out for a fun event. This is something my 12-year-old loves, too.

Lip Smacker Lip Balm

I will never get over Bonnie Bell shutting their doors, but this helps ease the pain. SO.MUCH.FUN.

How-To Style Curtain Bangs

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I got curtain bangs in early summer, and now I have a more extreme curtain bang, and I love it. Today I wanted to share with you how I style them.

How-To Style Curtain Bangs 2023

How-To Style Curtain Bangs

I style my curtain bangs the same whether I wear the rest of my hair down, curled, straight, or pulled back. I use my favorite drugstore heat protectant and then a straightener (*note: This is not my straighener, but I had a T3 for years and it was my favorite). I hold about a 1-inch section of my bang (I usually do each side of the part separately but you can do it all at once for a quick one-and-done) straight up and go straight up above my head with the flat iron and then flick my wrist up at the very end of the hair. That’s it. I spray with my favorite hairspray and let it set for a bit before I run my hands to fix them.

Affordable Parka | Women’s Arctic Parka – Universal Thread Target

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

It’s October and last week I began reaching for my coats, and my go-to for rainy or snowy weather (50º-30º ish) has been a coat that I randomly got when I was with my mom at Target five years ago. It’s so good. The coat changes slightly each year, but the reason I love it remains despite the slight style variations: It covers the bum, has giant pockets that hold your phone and wallet easily, it is a midweight, water-repellant, and has a giant hood. Listen, this isn’t the prettiest or warmest coat you’ll ever wear, but when you’re running into the grocery store and you need to be protected from the elements, this is it. I wear this coat for the real-life stuff.

Kristin Ess Deep Clean Clarifying Shampoo For Build-Up Dirt + Oil

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

The Kristin Ess clarifying shampoo has been a game changer. I use a lot of dry shampoo and go every other day, sometimes even two days, between washes. Our oldest is getting to the age where her hair gets greasy fast, plus she dances so she uses a lot of hair gel and spray and is very active. So, both of us need a good clarifying shampoo to use every few washes to get rid of the build up.

Kristin Ess Deep Clean Clarifying Shampoo For Build Up Dirt + Oil

I love this because it’s affordable and my hair feels so clean and silky after. It is also beautiful packaging. I use it once every week or 10 days, and I use a good conditioner after using this.

Hi there! Happy Monday!

All of a sudden last week in a matter of days Michigan began looking and feeling like fall. I started reaching for my fall basics, some of which were my Time and Tru thermal waffle shirts.

If you’re not using this, you should be | COSRX Snail Mucin

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I purchased the now TikTok famous Cosrx Snail Mucin Power Essense about a year ago and used it on the dry areas of my face like around my mouth, but I didn’t start slathering it on my entire face and neck until recently and I am so impressed.

COSRX Snail Mucin Power Essense

I began using it everywhere simply because I’ve been keeping a tighter budget this year (read about my low-buy no-buy here) and needed something to use after my toners and exfoliants. I realized that my skin was looking glowy and plump, which sounds like such stretch but I noticed a real difference and that’s saying something considering I get less than adequate sleep during the week.

What I Wore To My Brother-In-Law’s Wedding | Sabina Musayev Helena Dress

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I just spent the most magical week with my family in Montana for my brother-in-law’s wedding. I wore a gorgeous dress by Sabina Musayev that I can’t wait to share with you. I will also link the shoes I wore and my rehearsal dinner outfit.

Sabina Musayev Helena Dress in Silver Multi

This dress is a showstopper. It is beautiful and the perfect dress to pack. I had it in a small bag rolled into a ball and there was no need to steam it. It is slinky and drapes beautifully on the body. It has a hook and eye detail that allows you to wear it more conservatively if you prefer, which I did until later in the reception. It is a dress I hope to wear again and it makes me so happy to own it. It is a dress Hailey could wear someday. A keeper. For size reference, I wore it in a small.

Michael Kors Serena Strappy Sandal in Black

I had a hard time finding a low-block heel that I thought worked well but these were perfect! I wore them for about 9 hours and I got one tiny blister on one foot after hours of dancing.

Angel Sleeve Twist-Front Midi Dress

This dress was comfortable and so adorable. I love the bow in the back. It is a little low-cut, but fits nicely. I wore it in an XS Tall because sometimes midi hit in a place I don’t love (I am 5’7 so sometimes I wear regular and sometimes tall, it depends on how I want it to fit). It’s on clearance now.

Women’s Carissa Slide Sandals – A New Day

The best affordable little sandal. I love these and wear them all the day.

Quilted Black Clutch / Shoulder Bag

A great bag that I used as a clutch. It held everything easily.
