confidence, cruelty free, Thoughts

Hi all! I know it's been a long time, so I thought I'd fill you in on where I've been and what's happening in this space. So mainly, I've been focusing on school. I started grad school in the fall and have been working to find a way to balance everything; school, health, me time, friends, family, blogging, work... you know, it all! I wanted to keep it up, but I was going crazy and losing focus, having high anxiety and losing sleep over everything. And finally, over the holidays I decided that I can't do it all and that's ok.  I decided that I needed to prioritize my life and school's at the top right now. So for now this blog will be on hiatus until I graduate (hopefully by the...

Yes To Masks - My Review

cruelty free, Review, skincare, Thoughts

 I was at Ulta a while ago and saw all the Yes To Masks and decided to needed to try them out. Overall I really like Yes To products; they're affordable and generally I think they work well. But not all things can be wonderful, so there's 1 mask I loved and one that's a hard pass. Be ready for all kinds of akward pictures of me with no makeup on and all masked up! And yes, I mask after I get out of the shower so that should explain some of these pics. So let's take a minute to appreciate my horrible mask faces and talk masks! Miracle Oil Brighten & Condition  Argan Oil Mud Mask I don't normally love a mud mask as I find them too drying for my skin and really hard to...

October/November Love Goodly Box Review

cruelty free, makeup, Subscription Box, Thoughts

Lol talk about last minute! Here we are the last day of November. Another few months and another Love Goodly Box to review (see my previous boxes here and here). I always love getting this box in the mail, it's just so exciting to know there are a bunch of new products waiting for me at my door! I'm not going to lie, the October/November Love Goodly box was a little lackluster. There's only 1 item I really love, which is sad but it happens with a subscription service like this. I will say that the products are still really good, it's just a matter of personal preference. To see exactly what I thought about the products keep on reading: Belle Pierre Blush - Autumn Glow I wasn't so sure...

cruelty free, Halloween Makeup, Makeup Tutorial, Tips

We've all been here- you have no Halloween plans and didn't think of a costume, then someone up and invites you to a Halloween party that night! What do you do? Well funny enough I didn't plan on doing a makeup tutorial this year like I did the last 2 years (see my Cruella and Spider Lady makeups) becuase life's just been crazy. But due to many requests I tried to come up with something simple that I could do with the makeup I already have. And here's what I came up with! Bird Makeup This is an easy Halloween makeup that's versatile and you should own all the products you need to do it. Score! What I like about this is you can change the colors to fit your asthetic and you can be whatever...

This post contains products that have been sent to me for review and products I've purchased myself. All opinions are my own. It's been a long time of me trying and testing hair products but I think I've finally found some great ones I want to share with you all. Shampoo and Conditioner Oddly enough I feel like these are the hardest ones to get right. Especially when going cruelty-free and more natural. I feel sometimes maybe my hair just needs silicone to feel soft. But I've stayed strong and found some products that actually make me excited to wash my hair (and that's saying something!). SheaMoisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen & Restore Shampoo I've been using...
