Okay let’s talk about perfume! I have definitely been guilty in the past of getting all caught up in the pretty packaging and not paying any attention to what is actually in these little bottles. Over the course of the last year I’ve done some research regarding fragrance and it was really disappointing to find …

Oily DIY: Body Oil Roller
I just made my favorite DIY ever and the recipe is so easy! I’ve been hoarding my Young Living rewards points and just redeemed them for two oils I’ve had my eye on forever, Neroli and Jasmine. These are probably my favorite two scents in the world, but they’re a little pricey so I waited …
Switch and Ditch: DIY Dry Shampoo
One of the things I’ve enjoyed most about being a member of Young Living is the access to low tox products. I’ve been on a low tox journey for years but as I learn more I want to change more. I’m going to be starting a series of posts called “switch and ditch” which refers …
Brand I Love | Belmondo Skin Care
One of the things I love most about Instagram is its ability to connect people. I recently came in contact with a wonderful person named Daniela who introduced me to her product line, Belmondo Skin Care. I’m always on the lookout for unique small businesses particularly in the green beauty space, and I was really …

Hi Friends! In an effort to streamline this site a little bit, I’ve decided to combine all of my monthly beauty posts into one large beauty post each month. All of my beauty box reviews and product reviews will now be in one place! The first order of business this month is to talk about …
July | Sample Reviews
Philosophy Purity Made Simple 3 in 1 Cleanser This product was average at best to me. I usually like thicker cleansers but this one felt really thick and hard to remove. I also really didn’t like the smell. My skin felt smooth and clean after using it, but there are too many other cleansers out …

Huda Beauty Classic Lashes in Samantha First of all, I’m new to lashes (full breakdown about that on an upcoming post) so my lash expertise is still that of an amateur. When I apply lashes, I really prefer a natural look and for me, these were much to dramatic. Even though these are classified as …
Sephora Play | July
Clinique Take the Day Off Makeup Remover This product is good as far as traditional makeup removers are concerned. I don’t usually use this type of a product, I much prefer the lighter but effective feeling of a micellar water. This is definitely a longstanding classic, but isn’t a great fit for me personally. Bite …
Self Tanner Comparison Part 2 | Tanning Products
This post is a continuation of my summer self tanner series. If you missed the first post which talks about gradual self tanners, you can read about that here. Since we already talked about subtle and gradual tanners, I am now moving into traditional, fast acting self tanners. I’ve had a lot of experience with …
Birchbox | July
This month I opted to receive the clean box with all green, healthy brands. Derma E Overnight Peel with AHAs I didn’t have high hopes for this product but I was extremely surprised at how effective it is. There is a slight stinging feeling when you first apply it, but it doesn’t last long. The …
