Changes, Challenges & Updates

As you may or may not have noticed, I have made a few changes to my blog. It needed some sprucing up! My ultimate goal is to tie my blog and YouTube channel together, as well as utilizing my Facebook page more often. (In other words, lighting a fire under my butt to get moving again!) I completed a mini project that incorporates all of these together and am anxiously waiting to see the final product. It should arrive around the beginning of March.

I also wanted to restructure my blog a bit, give it somewhat of a content makeover. My goal is to focus more on makeup and beauty including product reviews, monthly favorites & fails, tips & tricks, sales, hauls, and anything else makeup/beauty related. For now, I will be putting "The Saturday Seven" on hold but possibly incorporating some of my answers in monthly favorites posts. I am not completely eliminating random life related posts because I enjoy sharing these as well, just shifting my focus back to makeup and beauty. I truly love blogging and am looking forward to posting on more of a regular schedule. 

Lastly, I have imposed a beauty challenge on myself comprised of "shopping" my current makeup collection and putting myself on a "low buy". My current collection has some really fabulous products that have not been used enough. I hope to rediscover favorites and weed out products that are not worth keeping around. "Low buy" is my answer to the ever popular "no buy". I have attempted a "no buy" in the past but to me, it is just not realistic. I prefer "low buy" which I define as drastically cutting back on beauty related spending while allowing an occasional, minimal purchase. This will be my beauty challenge indefinitely.

I am excited to share all of these new changes and challenges with you. Thank you for visiting my blog! Your support means the world to me! See you soon!

Weekly Beauty Challenge Mini Series: Challenge #3

This week's challenge is the FOTD challenge. I will photograph and post my FOTD each day (obviously). My goal is to end up with a mini journal of daily looks and to focus on my weekly beauty routine. Are there aspects I can change? What products do I reach for the most? What products from my collection do I need to reach for more?

Check back here in a week for my update!



The Snowy Saturday Seven 2/9/13

1. Mood: Panicky. After being hit by Blizzard Nemo, all of the news reports have been saying to stay at home today because the roads have not been completely cleared yet. I often get cabin fever, extreme and sudden cabin fever. I am hoping the roads will be safe later on today. 
2. Substitute questionLooking forward to Valentine's Day? Of course! Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday. Most people feel the need to inform me that it is not really a holiday but I think it is. To me, it's a day to celebrate and appreciate love.
3. Product(s) I'm adding to my wish list: I love the new Too Faced Boudoir Beauty collection. The Boudoir Eyes palette and the Sweetheart Blush are super cute!
4. Most used product of the week: MUFE Mat Velvet + 
5. Scent of the week: Gold by Kim Kardashian
6. Favorite song of the moment: When I Was Your Man by Bruno Mars...One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.


7. A sprinkle of randomness: I am not a huge fan of the snow. I think a dusting is pretty but could live without it. My pups really love playing in the snow. So I'm looking forward to seeing them have fun outside today! :)


Have a great weekend!!!
