SUBSCRIPTION BOX HAUL - REVIEW & UNBOXING!

I am a HUGE fan of subscription box services. I've been a faithful subscriber to both Popsugar and Ipsy since last year and am now exploring a few new (to me) options. For this video I collected 7 different boxes throughout the month of May to unbox and share with you! I had a really hard time not opening them right away and waiting to record this video. ;) I hope you enjoy!



SUBSCRIPTION BOXES MENTIONED
Naturebox - Get 50% off your first box! Definitely worth trying.
Citrus Lane - Also get 50% off your first box. Yes! And there is a multiple month saving option!
Popsugar Must-Have Box - $40 per month, also has a multiple month saving option.
Ipsy - Take the quiz and review the products you receive in your "glam room" to get products that fit you better. :)
Julep Maven - You can get your first box free, but note that you have to call in order to cancel your service if you don't want it automatically renewed month after month.
Birchbox
Sample Society

On top of already loving Popsugar and Ipsy, I think my new all-time favorites are Citrus Lane and Naturebox. What are some of your favorite subscription services? Any you recommend I should try?

MY FOUNDATION ROUTINE

Sharing my favorite foundation and application tools in my new foundation routine video! Let's be real, I usually only put on a full face of make-up 1-3 times a week at the most. When I'm at home working and spending time with Soren, I like to let my skin breathe and don't usually wear anything. I also have a 5 minutes make-up routine that I'm planning to share soon! Perfect for the on-the-go mommy/entrepreneur. ;) Thanks so much for watching!

3 WAYS TO WEAR A SCARF WITH CURLY HAIR

It can be a little tricky styling curly hair. Most of the time my hair just has a mind of its own and really doesn't want to be tamed! One of my favorite tricks is using a scarf in my hair to help keep things in place and make the look seem like I put more effort into it than I really did. ;)

Since I dye my hair red, I definitely get roots! Wearing a scarf is my favorite way to semi-hide those roots and keep things looking fresh until my next dye job. :) Putting this video together just made me wish for spring even more!



I'm currently working on new videos for the spring season!! Have any requests pertaining to beauty, mommy or lifestyle that you would like to see?! Please let me know in the comments below!

BEAUTY: LUSH & SEPHORA HAUL

A couple days ago I adventured out into the real world and took a little mommy break. This was the first time in nearly 4 weeks that I had been out by myself since having Soren and it was just what I needed. It's been so wonderful being home with little Soren and my husband, but as Jon informed me...I needed to take a little break. I had been wanting to re-stock on some of my favorite Lush products as well as try out some new things, so to the mall I went. The lady working at Lush easily sold me on a handful of new-to-me items and I had a blast talking with her about the products and her recommendations. Their helpful employees are just another reason why I love Lush so much. ;) Afterward, I decided to pop in Sephora before heading home and pick up a couple things there too. Some pamper time was just what the doctor ordered! :)

BEAUTY: TOP EIGHT RED LIPSTICK PICKS

Wearing a beautiful, bold red lip is my very favorite go-to look when wearing make-up. Since I have red hair, it's a little tricky deviating from a red without it looking a little funky so I tend to stick with red as my top color choice. Wearing a red lip can seem a little intimidating but the great things is that most skin types and hair colors beautifully pull off a classic red lip. --- Not to mention, wearing a red lip is totally acceptable year-round. It goes beautifully with every season. :) Check out my latest video for my top eight, go-to red lip picks!





PRODUCTS MENTIONED
* Kate Moss 111 in Kiss of Life - Rimmel
* Stay all Day in Beso - Stila
* Brat Pack - Poppy King (similar) 
* Velvetines in Red Velvet - Limecrime 
* Color Elixir in Signature Scarlet - Maybelline 
* Shame - Urban Decay 
* Liquid Lip Balm in Apple-A-Day - Almay 
* Matte Balm in Standout - Revlon

Quick Baby Update: Soren is still cozy in there!! Feelings lots of Braxton Hicks contractions and 3cm, we're hoping to see him soon! :) -- Also it's snowing in Atlanta so prayers for safe travels to the hospital if he decides to come soon would be great!

It's classy with the right amount of edge, it also translates beautiful as a daytime or nighttime look! Check it out!

BEAUTY: CHRISTMAS HAUL

I've mentioned this before but I LOVE gifts. It's one of my top love languages and it always means so much to me when someone gives me something thoughtful. I also LOVE giving gifts, wrapping them, watching people open them. I get so giddy and it's my favorite part of any birthday celebration and one of my favorite things about Christmas. I find myself getting so addicted to some of my favorite beauty gurus on YouTube and their "Christmas Loot" videos that I thought it would be fun to feature a few favorites that I received during Christmastime! Also, I'm super excited to be featuring a couple of great companies that make top-notch goodies! 

Of course Christmas isn't all about gifts, but having a spirit of giving, and loving on those close to you through giving, whether that be a heartfelt letter or pair of earrings from their wish-list is so fun! :)

BEAUTY: FACE CARE DURING PREGNANCY

A few months ago I did a video about my body care routine during pregnancy and I wanted to follow up by doing a video about my favorite face care products to use during pregnancy. It can be a little tricky finding great products that make you feel fabulous AND help combat acne if you're struggling with that during pregnancy.

I really experienced a lot of hormonal acne during my second trimester and into my third trimester so it became super important for me to have a clean, fresh face and do a little extra to take care of myself. Honestly, spending a little extra time on myself during this time and been one of the main ways I relax and feel loved on. Pregnancy is such a special time. Soak up every minute and don't forget to give yourself a little extra love. :)



PRODUCTS MENTIONED
* Cucumber Cleansing Face Towelettes - Say Yes // http://bit.ly/19jlC2r
* Charcoal & Sugar, Dead Sea & Chocolate & Strawberry Face Mask - Freeman's // http://tinyurl.com/kg3b26q
* Skin Savior Beauty Balm - One Love Organics // http://tinyurl.com/74fwks6

* Ocean Salt Scrub - LUSH // http://tinyurl.com/lclqt7w

Christmas is 4 DAYS away!! Are you done Christmas shopping yet? I've still got one more thing to pick up and a pile of gifts to wrap. I can't believe it's almost here. :) Love all of you, Merry Christmas!

BEAUTY: SPARKLY LINER TUTORIAL FOR THE HOLIDAYS!

I have always been a glitter lovin' girl at heart. No matter what style phase I find myself in, I'm always drawn to sparkle. My favorite way to incorporate a little shine into my everyday look is by adding in little touches. Of course every now and then you might as well rock the sequin pants right? Christmas is the perfect time to bring out the glitter and one of my go-to ways of doing that during the holidays is with a little glitter liner. I love using glitter liner over a pot of glitter because it really stays put beautifully and doesn't get all over your cheekbones and counter top. ;) Check out my quick glitter liner tutorial to help you out with a fun look for all of your holiday parties!



PRODUCTS MENTIONED
* Stay All Day Waterproof Liner in Carbon Black - Stila
* Heavy Metal Glitter Liner in Midnight Cowboy - Urban Decay
* Flawless Definition Mascara - BareMinerals

I hope you have a fantastic weekend!!
