Bath & BodyWorks Praise!

Hello!

This is a praise post about 1 product in particular from the spa-inspired Bath & BodyWorks Aromatherapy Line. I have two that I purchased myself and encourage you too look into! I have the Stress Relief (Vanilla Verbena)  and Sleep (Lavender Vanilla) lotions to relax and unwind and relax before sleep, respectively. These smell amazing, especially the stress relief vanilla! There is also a vanilla verbena candle that I would love to get my hands on...

Think: immediate at-home spa... 

The formula of these is smooth, and they provide a great balance of moisturizing without leaving too much grease behind. The smell on these is also nice because, while heavy,  it's not overpowering and it doesn't last too long. They smell sort of earthy and paired with the Enya Pandora station and a hot cup of tea, I really feel like I'm in spa! After taking a bath I love to lather on the sleep lotion on my dryness-prone legs, then cover them with extra soft (tight) yoga pants for an extra-deep moisturizing treatment. My only complaint on these is they are in glass bottles which is not ideal for clumsy ol' me. They add a fancier touch though, I will say. My tip would be to find a scent that you love because the scent it stronger like most of their products. I chose lavender and vanilla bases because they're favorites and they really do help me to relax after a long day or go to sleep!

These retail for $13.00 on Bath&BodyWorks.com . Enjoy!

FOTD and OOTD!

Here in Alaska it's raining and chilly, which is heavenly for the large forest fire that's been raging on the past week (over 160,000 acres!) Nonetheless, I wanted a bright cheerful spirit in my makeup and clothes and this is what I did! 











Face: Too Faced Boudoir Eyes Palette,  Rimmel liner, Nyx liner, Maybelline Mascara, bhcosmetics Tulip Duo on cheeks and a Nyx Jumbo lip Pencil (Chaos) and Lip Butter over top. Easy as pie! 

Outfit: Lace shirt (Thrifted), Jeans (Forever 21), necklace (unknown) and earrings (Forever 21). 


Happy Summer beginnings!

The Body Shop Praise!

Hi All, 
Just here for a quick praise post about The Body Shop! No, it is not sponsored in any way- just my own thoughts and praise. I love The Body Shop! They market themselves as naturally and ethically produced, something that makes me love them more. I've been purchasing things there ever since I was a little girl and they sold loose bath beads by the pound. It was like being in a candy store when my mom would let me get a baggie and collect a few different delicious smelling treats! Here's a few of my past and current favorites that will last in my make-up collection. All prices listed were gathered from The Body Shop Website and may vary slightly in your area. 


Chocolate Box Shimmer Cube-06, $11.
* This quad is darn near perfect for warm toned skin in the summer. All the colors are beautifully shimmery, have great lasting power and color payoff, and are easily removable. They are gorgeous and affordable!

*They also have a cooler toned quad, as well as some brighter colored quads to add extra fun to your looks. This quad transitioned me from summer to fall, winter and back for the better portion of 5 years. It is a permanent must-have...

Thrifty Lovin'!


Just a quick post here to highlight a good find from today. Check out this cool bracelet! Who knew wire was so neat? I must say thrift stores are the place to get jewelry if you don't have any sensitivities. It's cheap, unique, and oh so fun! Can't wait to layer up this bad boy for an OOTD tomorrow!
