Now for the good stuff.. what to add to the cart? Here are some products that I own and LOVE! 


I have been using this Vitamin C Moisturizer every single day since June and I have noticed such a difference since adding this into my skincare routine. I experience less redness (specifically in my cheeks), more hydration throughout and an overall better make up application. Not to mention it smells like a bright & sunny summers day? LOL (like an orangey smell). 

UNDER $20 || This might be my favorite product to recommend out of all the items bc I think no matter the age or beauty interest, anyone WILL benefit from this lip mask. Not only do I use this nightly as a "mask" but I also use it throughout the day or before applying lipstick. It hydrates your lips like no other and they have a lot of unique scents. I have my eyes on the Vanilla next. 

If you would have told me two months ago that I'd be recommending a lash primer, I would not have believed you. "No way can a lash primer make such a huge difference.." oh how I was wrong. I am HOOKED on this product. The reason I recommend this lash booster is because I am able to apply my mascara faster (goodbye 5 minute lash application) and it truly does preserve the longevity of your mascara. I am able to put on less coats of mascara with this product. 


The best concealer. I used to use Tarte Tape Shape for years and was always a little disappointed by how drying and creased my under-eye would get. This concealer is hydrating and will last you for-ev-er! 


UNDER $20 || An OG for me. I have used this since freshman year of college and this will always be one of my fave lip glosses. It has a tingly, lip plumping feel and I have the shade White Russian which goes great over nude lipsticks and by itself! 


I really love all products from the Drybar line but the Triple Sec 3-in-1 takes the lead. I have tried SO many texturizing/volume sprays and none work as well as good as Triple Sec without giving the sticky-horse hair feel. This leaves my hair looking, smelling and feeling good!


I first became obsessed with this foundation a few years ago when my bestie introduced me to it! I have always had dry to normal skin but I'm sure as most of you can relate, the winter is tough on my skin so I need a foundation that is hydrating- so I use this all winter long! It is full-coverage in my opinion but buildable so you can put as little or as much as you need.


Another Hourglass goodie! Can you tell they're one of my favorite makeup brands? This translucent powder really pulls my makeup all together and creates a seamless finished look. It is hydrating and does not crease my under eye. I also love this product because of the packaging it feels so luxurious and doesn't make a mess like some other powders may. 


I can't say enough good things about this Shampoo & Conditioner. It is made with clean ingredients which is so important to me and it has such a light and refreshing scent that lasts so long.

Balcony Decor: Before & After

When deciding between different apartment layouts after moving back to Illinois, one thing was certain on mine and Rob's wishlist, we knew we wanted a balcony! We love spending time outdoors, especially in the Midwest. We have to take advantage of the little time that we have before it gets below freezing again ðŸ˜‚ Also, we are living in a one bedroom apartment so we wanted to make our balcony as inviting as possible since it'll serve as another hang out area in our home.

All furniture and decor (minus the plants) will be linked below! Our outdoor table (also a cooler) is currently out of stock but I added the link incase it comes back soon. XO
