This is a collection of my favorite hair 'dos I styled during the month of June. Let me know what you think! :)

Pinned It & Did It: DIY Grocery Bag Holder

Aren't you tired of empty grocery bags taking up precious space in that kitchen drawer or under the sink? I sure was! That's where this super easy DIY comes in! I thought I had pinned a similar DIY project, but I can't seem to find it on any of my boards. I know that I didn't come up with this idea on my own! I just wish I could give due credit to the blog I got it from. Life must go on, right?

HEALTHY LUNCH: Chef Salad w/Homemade Dressing

I am always on the quest of finding easy, cheap, low cal, healthy and filling lunch ideas. This one is high on my list. We've all seen the chef salad done before. It's not a secret find or anything spectacular. But what I do love about this meal is the fact that it's clean, VERY filling and super yummy. Not to mention, only 353 calories! 

4 Ways to Style Growing Out Bangs

If you are in the process of growing out your fringe then you have probably been experiencing that awkward stage where they just want to fall in your eyes. Or maybe they are just not listening to you when you tell them to swoop to the side. They are just too long to be cute on their own but too short to flow with the rest of your cut. Sound familiar?

Mani Time: Emerald Green Polish

Pinned It & Did It: Smooth Legs w/ Aloe Fresh

I am a women of many addictions! Pinterest is another one. You don't want to know how many hours I can spend on this website. Whoever thought of it is a GENIUS.

I discovered this awesome tip of using this aloe gel for keeping my legs smooth.

Fall/Winter 2013 Hair & Makeup Trends

As hard as it is to believe, we are already half way through October. The pumpkin spice craze has begun, the leaves have started to fall, the mornings are frosty and Christmas decorations are on sale. And all of this can only mean one thing...it's time for a new 'do and new makeup ideas! Fall fashion/hair/makeup are the only things that keep me going as the temperatures drop. I have been researching the latest hair and makeup trends for a few weeks now, and I am ready to pass on the love.

Beauty Changes Lives Application: Living in the Prologue

I thought that since I have been on a hiatus due this project of putting together a video essay, I thought it would only be fair to share with you guys. So without further ado, here it is!

DIY: Vanity

The past few months I have been fantasizing about having a glamorous vanity. You know, one like you see in the movies with bright round bulbs lining the huge mirror and pretty drawers under the table top all done up in a Victorian fashion. I finally decided to investigate the damage one of those would set me back and found out that they are freaking expensive (anywhere from $200-$2,000)! My dreams were instantly crushed. But something had to happen...my current set up was a nightmare. 

Experience: Make Up Removers

I remember being a teenager, not too long ago, who hated washing her face. Why? Because make up is difficult to remove. Now that I am a little bit older and have been though some esthetic training in beauty school, I understand the importance of a thorough face cleaning every night. Not only will the lack of washing your face cause avoidable break outs, but it will also age the skin quickly.

June 2013 IPSY Glam Bag Review

For those of you who do not know what IPSY Glam Bag is, you are in for a real beauty treat! It's a popular beauty subscription box bag. For $10 a month you take a beauty quiz to figure out your beauty profile and they send personalized hair/skin care/cosmetic products right to your door. The Glam Bag always comes with a make up bag and 4-6 products, some times samples and some times full size products.

Rockin' Review: OPI Bond Girl Liquid Sand Mini Set

I don't know about you, but I never seem to be able to finish a full bottle of nail polish. Before I get through it, the formula gets thick and unusable. Or I just plain get tired of the color. That's why I love getting the mini collections. At this point in my life, I think I have more mini bottles of polish than I do full size ones. 

5 Favorite Links 6.18 - 6.24

Just as I am addicted to beauty products, I am also addicted to beauty/fashion blogs! I have been saving the links to my favorite posts for the weeks just so I can share them with you! Let me know which one you enjoy the most.

LOTD Cobalt Liner & Coral Lips

I just got this FACE Stockholm Matte Shadow in Stubborn (the cobalt blue) in my June Wantable Beauty Box last week. As soon as I saw it, I envisioned this look. I love wearing bright colors, especially in my hair, but sometimes bright blue eye shadow can be super intimidating. That's why I used it as a bottom lash line liner with neutral/copper liner and shadow. And I think it looks just marvelous!

Rockin Review: KnockOut Cosmetics Flatte Polish

This is my very first time using a matte nail polish, and I think I have fallen in love.

June Wantable Beauty Box Review

I had been reading about Wantable for a little while before I decided to sign up. I was only able to find positive reviews about this one, and believe me, I tried to find something negative so I wouldn't want to sign up! This is a unique subscription box program because they let you pick between a beauty box or a jewelry box. You make your decision and fill out a detailed survey to determine what products you like and hate. The subscribtion is $36 a month with the option to opt out or pause at any time. So, I went for it! My box was delivered THREE days after I purchased it. THREE DAYS!! I couldn't believe how quick it was.
