Liquid Matte Colors for Spring

Since I began using liquid lipsticks, I've become a little obsessed. Really. I'm a tad bit convinced that I may never buy a regular lipstick again. I'm loving the liquid, people! For some reason, I find that being able to apply lipstick with a wand (like lip gloss) is much quicker and easier for me than applying traditional lipstick. Matte colors tend to be my favorite because I don't usually prefer glossy, sticky looking lips. AND, now that these liquid matte colors are so popular, you can find great options from drugstore brands for awesome prices. Have a look at a few I've been enjoying recently:

Love at First Slice

Yesterday was Valentine's Day and I hope everyone had an amazing time with someone they love! I think Valentine's Day is an adorable holiday and always tons of fun to celebrate. So every year I wonder, why do so many people hate it?

Five Happy Things

I can't think of an easier time to focus on the happy things in life than on a Friday afternoon (hooray)! The weekend is officially here and I couldn't be more excited. It's been a while since I shared some happy things in my life, so here's a few:

In Our Kitchen: Peanut Butter Bites

True life: I'm a peanut butter addict. I think it's amazing on fruit, toast, celery, and yes, sandwiches! I'm 25 years old and I still crave a good peanut butter and jelly sandwich every once in a while. And don't even get me started on peanut butter and banana sandwiches either... SO GOOD! Anyway, I tried this new recipe for the first time about a month ago, and it's safe to say I have discovered my new favorite snack! These peanut butter and oatmeal bites are delicious and incredibly quick and easy to make. Plus, peanut butter is full of healthy fats and other vitamins, so this snack is much better for you than you might think! Time to put down the Reese's and make these instead.

What I Wore: A Snowy Night Out

Yesterday, it was so cold that we experienced quite the sight... snow in Florida!! Okay, so maybe it was just a few small flurries, but it was exciting nonetheless! However, while getting ready to meet friends for dinner and drinks, James and I found ourselves digging out the warmest things we owned and packing on the layers. I would have preferred to travel out in a giant snuggie, but instead I settled on my thickest sweater, scarf, and coat to handle the flurries (and maybe 3 pairs of socks under my boots, who's counting?). What a true Floridan.

7 Skincare Favorites

As much as I love all the latest and greatest makeup products, I'm a firm believer that looking fabulous should start with a great skincare routine. However, I know this is often easier said than done. We all have unique skin types and trying to decide between thousands of products can be exhausting. Where do we start? What will work best for us? Personally, I've struggled with my skin since I was 15 years old. With large pores, an oily t-zone, and skin that's prone to scarring, it's taken me years of trial and error to find products that work best for me. So even though I'm always on the hunt for new items, I thought I would take a minute to share some of my favorites I've discovered (and stuck with) over the years.

Weekend Exploring: Eco Relics

Last Sunday, I visited Eco Relics for the first time and basically fell in love. The giant warehouse is full of everything from old furniture and antiques to lumber and tools. I came across things like old traffic lights, record players, creepy dolls, pianos, vintage jewelry, windows and doors, hardware, countertops, and even toilets and bath tubs. It was amazing! I'm already planning on going back for a window to purchase and decorate with. I'm also dreaming about some of the chandeliers they had, but sadly I have nowhere to hang one.
