Friday Faves!

By -

This week's Friday Faves are so great! I'll be talking about hair care and styling, nail polish, makeup, and more! Be sure to scroll all the way down to the bottom for links, discounts and deals!

 This first product is another one I got in my monthly Ipsy bag! If you missed last week's post, Ipsy is an awesome subscription where you get five samples of makeup and beauty products specifically picked for you delivered to your house every month for only $10! Best thing ever. And the samples always come in cute bags like the one I'll talk about below!


Anyways, I got this Beauty For Real Gel Eyeliner in my June Ipsy bag and I couldn't love it more! I've always preferred liquid or gel liners over pencil liners. I feel like they go on easier and last way longer! And this product is no exception. Super easy to apply and it stays on all day! The pliable formula lets you apply perfect, clean lines or smudge it out right after application. The shade I got was Chocolate Fix and it compliments my hair color, skin tone and eye color really well! And it's only $14! BFR is one of the first makeup lines I've seen offer discounts for buying multiples of the same item. Along with the single pen, they offer two for $24 and three for $32. You can also get it at Zulily. I'd definitely recommend this gel eyeliner!! 


Almost every woman knows that dry shampoo is a must! A staple item to have around at all times. Well, I've discovered that it doesn't have to be an expensive, high-end product to do the job! Not Your Mother's Clean Freak Dry Shampoo is fabulous! I've used it for about two years now and I don't see myself giving it up haha! The item pictured is their travel size version and I take it with me every time I go on a trip...it's the perfect size. For use at home, I have the larger bottle that you can grab at Urban Outfitters, Target, Walmart and many other places for less than $10! It's unscented, eliminates odor, and absorbs excess oil in your hair. This product is definitely one of my must-haves! Stay tuned for more posts about NYM products!


Next up is another great travel size cosmetic bag! If you missed last week's post, check it out because there was an awesome bag in that one too! So this bag is from Ipsy and it's perfect for holding all of your lipstick, glosses, and liners while traveling. Here's why it's perfect: standard and average-length liners and glosses easily fit, it's lined with a nice black fabric, and it's got lips on the front! Love this bag!




Ok, so Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Polish is one of the best inventions ever! It's gel polish that doesn't require a curing light! I put this stuff on my toenails and it lasts weeks! Two of my favorite shades right now are Red Eye and Bare Dare. You can pick some up at ULTA, Walmart, Target, or Walgreens. If you hate repainting your toe nails every few days, these are perfect for you! 





Last up, one of my all time favorite hair styling tools! I got my NuMe wand about a year ago and it's pretty much the greatest thing since sliced bread! Before, I was using my curling iron. I had to life the bar and wrap the hair around the barrel...burning myself several times during the process. With the wand, there is no bar or clamp, it's just a barrel. So wrapping hair around it is easy! And my waves last all day. I got mine on the NuMe website and went with the "Classic Curling Wand" in Hot Pink 25mm (1 inch). They also offer a 19mm and a 32mm. You can find them at ULTA and other retailers too! If you're tired of burning yourself and your fingers can't take anymore, invest in a NuMe wand...you won't regret it! Follow NuMe on Instagram for deals, discount codes and more! There's always celebrities and bloggers posting about these wands and they'll usually give a discount code for their followers to use!

Playing Catch Up: June (Plumb Family Vaca)

June was a CRAZY month for us! My family came out for eight days and then Shawn's parents and friends came out for about five days. Oh, and we managed to squeeze a super fun camping trip in between those visits! We love having visitors, it makes us feel less lonely and far away from everyone! And we love showing people around Boston! My parents and two little sisters came out here the first week of June and we had so much fun! We did everything...and I mean EVERYTHING! We crammed a lot into the eight days they were here. The first day we took it easy and laid low since they got in really late the night before. We went and checked out the Harvard campus, had some shawarma , then went and saw Wonder Woman (such a good movie!) in 3D at the huge IMAX screen inside Jordan's Furniture. If anyone hasn't been there, you really should check it out ! They have the newest technology for sound...there are sound boxes above you, in front of you, behind you, on the sides of you, AND...

How to Build a Summer Capsule Wardrobe

Happy Friday! Isn't summer the best?! The sunshine, laying by the pool, days at the beach, cruises, vacations...it's perfect! Just like I did this spring, I've put together some items to help you build the perfect summer capsule wardrobe! Whether you have fun summer vacays planned or just need to freshen up your closet, I'm sure that these capsule pieces will inspire everyone!  The whole point of a capsule wardrobe is to put together a handful of staple pieces from each clothing category that can be mixed and matched to form a wardrobe of multiple outfits. The pieces should all be complimentary in color, pattern, style, etc. So let's get started!  First up, the basics! The best way to start building your capsule wardrobe is with some simple tees. I tend to choose tees that are neutral in color; some solid some with subtle texture. This way they go with more items and outfits! (Tip: make sure one of them is a plain white tee because they literall...

Dealing with Life’s Lemons! Man, I’m falling behind on this whole blog thing! Yikes! I better get my butt in gear. Anyways, I’ve been thinking about a lot of things lately. So disclaimer, this post may be fairly long…but it may also help someone out. I know it definitely helps me to write it all down. Everyone has heard the old saying, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade…” Well, sometimes I don’t want freaking lemonade! Sometimes I just want to chuck the lemons back at life haha. Harsh, I know. But it’s the truth. Sometimes all I want is to vent, blow off steam, or punch a hole in the wall haha! I can’t be the only one who feels this way. I’m sure we’ve all had our moments. And by moments I mean weeks. This was just one of those weeks for me. I won’t bore you with the details, but let’s just say things have been snowballing for awhile and this week I burst. It takes a lot to make me cry and get upset over things, but the other night I did. I told Shawn everything that...
