Product Rave: Supercritical Chia Oil by One Love Organics

(Please note: Although I received a free sample of this product from One Love Organics, I was not compensated for this post. All opinions stated below are my own.) I’ve heard so many great things about One Love Organics recently, so I was really excited when the company offered to send me a sample of one of their products to try. After glancing through their website, I was immediately intrigued by the Supercritical Chia Oil. After all, I eat chia seeds, but I’ve never used them as part of my beauty...

My favorite blushes

When it comes to makeup, I have two major weaknesses: lip products and blush. After counting up how many lipsticks and lip glosses I own, I’ve put myself on a temporary ban from buying any more. I seriously don’t know how I accumulated so many, especially since they all seem to be so similar. Anyway, a ban on blush is probably in order too, but I don’t want to get too carried away. 1.

The Honest Life by Jessica Alba

I’ve been pretty vocal about my love for The Honest Company lately. In fact, I have a detailed review of the company’s customer service, website, and products in the works and plan to share it within the next week. I also have lots of love for Jessica Alba, the gorgeous actress and founder of The Honest Company. My affection for Jessica just about quadrupled after I recently read her book entitled The Honest Life: Living Naturally and True to You.

May ipsy bag & a Blog Hop!

Even though I love beauty subscription services, sometimes I get bored with them after awhile. I mean, exactly how many samples of hair serum, perfume, and lip gloss does a girl really need? And why are the perfume samples always celebrity labels? I almost took a hiatus from ipsy after last month, but I’m so glad that I got preoccupied and forgot because this month’s box was really good! yaby concealer refills (probably won’t use) Zoya nail polish (A girl can never have too many of those.) Juice Beauty reflecting gloss...

Things I didn’t share Friday (4/19)

1. While we were at Music on the Green on Saturday night, a ball kicked by some children playing soccer nearby randomly hit MT right in the head. (Thankfully, it just missed the baby!) I probably shouldn’t have laughed as hard as I did- or at all- but I just couldn’t help myself. Luckily, MT has a good sense of humor and didn’t seem to mind how entertained I was by the whole thing. 2. Whenever we go to Skillets, I usually take one of the green mints at the register because I love them so much. It always...

Product Rave: Tarte BB Tinted Treatment 12-Hour Primer

I realize that I just did a beauty favorites post (and still have yet to post my healthy favorites), but I simply could not resist sharing my latest beauty discovery with you. (Sephora $34) This stuff is amazing. Amazing! As I mentioned in my last beauty favorites post, I’ve been going lighter on the makeup lately, and I have been using my Origins VitaZing moisturizer nearly every day rather than a foundation. I really love that product because, even though it is a moisturizer, it offers a tiny bit of...
