What My Dog Taught Me About the Importance of Space

What My Dog Taught Me About the Importance of Space

He was the most adorable thing I ever saw in my life. His hair was the perfect mixture of white and brown strands. His nose was so cute, short, and round. His eyes were big and dark brown. He had the cutest little overbite.

He was given to me for my 8th birthday. When it came time for me to name him, I looked at the adorable brown and white Shih Tzu puppy and pondered. I thought of his physical features to see if anything, in particular, would inspire his name. Continue reading “What My Dog Taught Me About the Importance of Space” →

What Happened in 2018?

What Happened in 2018?

I started 2018 with high hopes and a bunch of goals for the blog. Little did I know that in the year ahead of me, I would meet challenges that would cause me to sink into introspection rather than explode with creative expression, as I preferred. I didn’t leave 2018 completely void of uploaded posts, however, I surely wanted to post more often and more consistently than I did.

Kush Mascara by Milk Makeup Review

Kush Mascara by Milk Makeup Review

*DISCLAIMER: I received this product complimentary via Influenster

It is one of the most talked about beauty products on the market right now. Kush Mascara is raising eyebrows due to its usage of a very interesting ingredient: Weed. I have to applaud the marketing team behind Kush Mascara for their brilliant usage of typical references to weed in the context of a mascara (i.e. “One hit for high volume” and it’s release on 4/20). It certainly ignited my curiosity about the product and just how closely it would measure up to its claims of bringing on the volume.

I was not apart of the lucky few who actually received their Kush VoxBox on 4/20 but it did not take away my excitement upon receiving it. Before I dive into the review and talk about my experience thus far, I’d like to answer two dominating questions you may or may not have thought of by now:  Continue reading “Kush Mascara by Milk Makeup Review” →

While in Dallas,TX: 4 Vegan-Friendly Eateries You Need to Try

It wasn’t until I came back from Dallas last Thursday evening that I realized the only pictures of the trip I shared via social media were of food and food places. I figured that I should probably disclose on the blog that I did not solely visit Dallas for the food… even though that still would’ve made an awesome trip considering the restaurants we found!

We adventured to a few really neat places while in the area, but I wanted to share all of that in another post. This post is all about the amazing vegan food we got to try during our trip! If you are ever in Dallas, be sure to check out these places. You won’t be disappointed! Continue reading “While in Dallas,TX: 4 Vegan-Friendly Eateries You Need to Try” →

DISCLAIMER: I received these products complimentary via Influenster

There are two things that matte liquid lipsticks tend to have to combat: 1) a drying formula and 2) not being smudge proof or long-lasting. It is safe to say that Covergirl’s Melting Pout Matte liquid lipsticks successfully combat both of these issues.  Continue reading “Covergirl’s Melting Pout Matte Liquid Lipsticks Review” →

Books That Challenge the Way You Live Your Life

Books That Challenge the Way You Live Your Life

I am a huge fan of books that promote personal growth. I love reading little bits of wisdom concerning living life in the best way possible and books regarding personal growth have such a motivational nature to them. It’s hard to finish reading one and not have new ideas prancing around in your mind about things to try doing differently in your life and what greater gift can a book give than to enrich your life with such wisdom?

St.Ives Revitalizing Lotion and Soothing Lotion Review (VoxBox Unboxing & Review)

I received my first VoxBox complimentary via Influenster (if you are a beauty addict or just enjoy free things in general, you should sign up!! It’s amazing.) at the end of December 2017 after having a profile with Influenster for a good year, year and a half. A cool milestone to reach just in time for the new year if I do say so myself. *wink wink*  

Now if you follow me on Instagram, you might be saying “finallyyyyyy!” because I was so excited when I got the products, I posted about them as soon as I possibly could (that was back in December..). I mean, in a sense, you’re right. This review is sort of overdue from a chronological standpoint but if we look at it from a testing period standpoint… I’m actually right on time (;

I wanted to wait a little to write and Continue reading “St.Ives Revitalizing Lotion and Soothing Lotion Review (VoxBox Unboxing & Review)” →
