Make St. Louis Your Vacation Spot this Summer

Summer travel season will soon be upon us and if you’re like me you love the thought of leaving the confines of your state but you hate the hassle of packing.  I always seem to pack way too much because I’m never sure of just what I need to wear. I’m hoping that my capsule wardrobe will help with this a bit. While I suck at packing my clothes I have packing makeup down to a science!  We don’t have any definite vacation plans just yet, but my Husband and I watch a lot of the food network, and we’ve…

Make this Peach Berry Refresher with Alize Peach

 This post was sponsored on behalf of Alizé Peach. All opinions stated are my own. I love mixing up great tasting cocktails to enjoy alone or with friends and family.

Granted I’m only two years in, but it’s been one amazing thing after another. Thirty is when I realized I didn’t have it all figured out, and I was finally able to admit that I was completely okay with that. My finances are amazing (besides me paying off a mountain of student loans), I’m back down to a healthy weight,…

Milani Cosmetics Mattallics Lip Créme Review and Swatches on Medium Brown Skin

I’ve slowly been developing this love for Liquid lipsticks. When the first came on the scene I couldn’t get down with some of the formulas. They’d either be too dry or just a splotchy mess. Some of the more popular ones weren’t readily available on the ground. On a recent trip to one of my local Sephoras ( I have three within reasonable driving distance) I picked up a liquid lipstick that I absolutely fell in love with. I’ll be sharing deets on that one a little bit later. This particular post is going to be all about the limited…
