Get Fit With Me! | HI DEF 45 @ Studio Three

Hi friends, welcome back to the blog! Today we're changing it up from makeup and fashion to talk about something I love just as much...fitness! Lately, I've been back on my fitness game and have been trying out some really cool workouts and classes! One of the classes I tried recently was at Studio Three in River North (Chicago) and was called "HI DEF 45." It was my first time ever going to this studio, so I thought I'd spill the tea about the class so you can decide if it's

My Summer Bronzing Routine

Having beautiful tanned skin and hair kissed by a mist of salt water is what I look forward to each summer. I love being bronze and rocking my white dresses, gold jewelry, and every bikini I own. However, I don’t like to damage my skin. I am an absolute freak about skin care. Over the years, I’ve tried countless self-tanners. Most of the ones I liked have either faded in a few days, or look patchy and dry when they start to come off. Recently, I found myself wandering around

LipSense Review: Everything-Proof Lip Color

I love wearing lipsticks, lip stains, liquid lipsticks, or any type of lip color. A bold-colored pout paired with full lashes and touched-up brows is what you’ll typically find me sporting nearly every day of the week. With that being said, finding a lip color that lives up to my everyday standards isn’t always the easiest to come across. However, a couple weeks ago I was contacted by a LipSense Independent Distributor who was kind enough to send me LipSense to try out. Like

Make Your Wishes Come True With These Candles

With the crisp winter air lurking around outside, all I’ve been begging to do is stay inside with a captivating book, mug of steaming tea, and a soothing candle, while bundled up in a fuzzy blanket. Having that hour or so to be warm and just relax is something I look forward to when I get home from work. Within the past year, I have been absurdly obsessed with candles. When I was younger, I used to laugh and wonder why adults always gave wine or candles for gifts—now I unders

NYFW 2016...So Far

New York Fashion Week is one of my favorite times out of the year. Although everyone in the fashion industry is most likely stressed out of their minds, the pay off is fabulous. The streets and the runways are filled with beautiful people in show-stopping outfits, hair, and makeup. NYFW is a huge week, and ideally, I would like to update you all on every moment that fashion week showcases, but doing that alone would be nearly impossible. This week/weekend, I'm hoping to updat

Review: Covergirl Outlast Lip Color

If you're looking for a lip color that stays on all day—and night—I’ve found the perfect one for you. I was in Target a few weeks ago buying those non-slip things you put on the bottom of your shoes and decided to head over to the makeup section just to look (which is a lie because there’s never “just looking” in Target). When I saw this display of all these different liquid lipstick colors (Covergirl Outlast Lip Color), my interest was piqued. After looking at them for a l

The Simple Secret for Getting Ash Blonde Hair

Calling all “blondes” that have the following problems with your hair… If you’re hair looks yellow, brassy, unnatural, or just looks greasy all the time, I’m going to explain a product to you that will change your life—and your look. The magical product: purple shampoo. I discovered purple shampoo about two years ago. Ever since then, I have been using it at least 3 times a month. I’ve gone through more bottles than I can count—but for a good reason. But, before I get too ahe

Travel Review: The Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas

On August 16th, I turned 21 years old. On August 19th, I arrived at the Flamingo hotel in Las Vegas. I was about to spend nearly a week celebrating my 21st birthday with my mom and sister in the fabulous Las Vegas—and I couldn’t wait to get started. When I walked in, my attention was immediately captured by the beautiful natural light illuminating the ivory and gold interior of the lobby. Soon after ascending the escalator, I headed to the check-in line. The check-in line had

Review: NYX HD Finishing Banana Powder

Banana powder used to be one of those “best kept” secret beauty products, but ever since word got out that Kim Kardashian uses it, banana powder has become as popular in the beauty industry as iPhones are in the technology industry. I lived a long time without using banana powder. I usually kept my highlight and under eye makeup simple. However, everything changed one day when I used banana powder for the first time. It was light on my skin. It blended naturally. It took my f

Review: It's a 10 Miracle Leave-In Treatments

Is your hair damaged? Color-treated? Dry? Frizzy? A tangled mess? Well, if your hair isn’t any of those things, I’m jealous. If your hair is one—or all—of those things, keep reading this because I have something you’re going to love. I first started getting highlights in my hair when I was in 5th grade. The highlights were nothing dramatic, just a few here and there that were just a couple shades lighter. I’ll be honest, the reason my sister and I got them was because I had l

Review: Flash Tattoos

Spring break is here, which means summer is right around the corner! For the past few months, I’ve seen silver and gold tattoo-looking patches all over the skin of popular Instagrammers that look like jewelry. Immediately I found myself wondering what it was and where I can get it in time for my spring break trip to Flordia with my friends. Eventually I found out that they were called “flash tats” or “flash tattoos.” These flash tattoos are exactly like those temporary tattoo

My Invisilign Experience

I keep running my tongue across my top teeth in my mouth, amazed at how smooth and straight they are. For the past 10 months, I have had little hard tooth-colored nubs—or “attachments” if you want to get technical—bonded to my teeth, in order to straighten them. But today, I finally got them removed and have been left with near-perfect teeth. I started Invisalign in April of 2014. My older sister had gone through the process of Invisalign too before me; she had Invisalign for

No-Chip Manicure, No Thank You

I love getting my nails done. I always have, always will. I remember being a sassy little two-year-old having my nails painted and trying to keep still while my mom got her nails done. Until my sophomore year of high school, I stuck to basic manicures. The acrylic phase lifestyle started mid-high school and still continues on today. Of course I would go back and forth between acrylic and my natural nails, but there is something about having long, (artificially) strong nails t

Travel Review: Paradisus Resort in Cancun

During the last week of November, I spent five days at a resort I’ll never forget: Paradisus Resort in Cancún. I had been to Mexico four times prior to this trip, but never have I experienced a resort like this. The resort’s pictures on their website are beautiful—but even those don’t do it justice. First Impressions This resort is huge. Read again: HUGE. When walking into the main lobby, you see in front of you a large area of green. Green vines (real ones) draping from each
