daily make up routine


I'm a big make-up person. I like to really present my best 'face' and so I spend about 12 minutes every morning putting on make-up. This is my daily routine! All the products I use are listed below. Almost all of my make-up is from Sephora as I'm very indecisive when it comes to makeup, so I choose to purchase them there rather than at a drugstore because I know I can always return something if I don't love it. In the end this saves me from purchasing a bunch of products I'm meh about, therefore saving space and money. I am kind of cheap when it comes to brushes though - all but one are from Target and were no more than $3. Sure I'd like more expensive brushes, but the ones I have are working fine for now.

Do you have any tips or product suggestions for me? Let me know in the comments please (and please don't tell me I look like a 12 year old boy without any make up on, I already know this haha)

twisted vlogging

So you ladies know I love a good scarf, so what's better than one? Two! Whitney from Along the Lines of Style gave me the floral scarf in December after I complimented her on it and she said she doesn't wear it - too bad we don't live closer so I can tell her I like her stuff all the time! It's a thinner scarf so I've been waiting to wear it until it warmed up but I just doubled it up with another thinner scarf and ta-da, winter scarf.

A few people have asked how I tied this scarf so I figured I'd take a note from Lynette and make a little video about it. I promise I'm as awkward in person as I am on film:















< is that the most flattering still you've ever seen? I thought so too. Maybe the next time I tape myself I won't do on a whim on a day where I have 4 day bun hair and minimal makeup on.
