Happy Almost Turkey Day + Insta-Dump

Hi Friends. I feel like it's been far too long since I've done an instagram dump and just generally updated you on the day to day of my life! Oh wait... that's because it's been over a month. woops.

 



It's been ten days of relaxation and getting back to normal--- which has been greatly appreciated.  Plus I missed Oliver the cat more than I thought I would. Isn't he cute?

I am at work today, but flying to Atlanta for a long weekend first thing tomorrow morning. Then I'll head even further south to Hawkinsville, Georgia to visit with family and have dinner at the Steak House. Thankfully I'll get to spend some quality time in my home town catching up with friends like this one and this one oh and my favorite 9 year old. I'm heading to Athens on Saturday to go between the hedges for the first time in TWO YEARS. So excited. Then... who knows. I fly out Monday night so I'll have some time to kill (just no car) so it should be interesting.

Whatever you're doing and where ever you are I hope you have a fantastic holiday! Eat  lots of yummy food for me :)

Novemeber Birchbox

stila all over shimmer liquid luminizer

Review: LOVE LOVE LOVE. This is a gorgeous cream highlighter. And you can get all three for just $20! This would be a perfect stocking stuffer or just little just because gift. They're all gorgeous shades too!

Masqueology 7D Moisture Cream


via
Review: really gentile scent. Super creamy. but other than that... ehh. A solid moisturizer but for me, it's not worth the $$.

MCMC Fragrance Phoenix Eau de Parfum


via
Review: I think I'm one of the only people who LOVE getting perfume samples in their birchboxes. They are always big enough to last a few weeks and now I have so many I can switch up my daily scent all the time (which I love). This has to be one of my favorites. Ever. It's super floral, but it's very light at the same time. 

Masqueology Revitalizing Eye Mask

via
Review: Okay--- I got this weird face mask from these people a few months ago--- and was less than impressed. Needless to say I was disappointed when I saw this in my box. but OH how I was wrong. These are this cool gel pad that you put below you eye and let it dry. First of all, I was obsessed with looking at these. They're like a mesh surrounded by gel and it's awesome. Second. They totally worked. I've been fighting fatigue like no other lately (mostly because my body hates me because I've put it through the most ridiculous sleep schedule the last 4 months), and bags are gone! Yay!

One Love Organics® Aromatic Body Serum

 via

Review: I'm kind of obsessed with this body serum. It's essentially just a scented oil but I've never really used an  oil to moisturize. I'm in love for real. AND, I apologize if this is TMI, but I've been dealing with some winter eczema on by legs and after only 3 days of using this... it's gone! That has NEVER happened to me before. 

Masqueology Masque Cleanse

via
Review: More Masquology? I mean--- I know you're trying to sell this stuff in the store Birchbox--- but three products in one box is a little much. I want more of a variety. Needless to say this was a bit of a miss for me. Lightly scented. Cleaned my face. Not worth the price. But I appreciate the sample.

Purple Smoke

It seems every time fall rolls around I'm itching to switch up my makeup routine. I'm beyond loyal to my naked palette, but lately I've been reaching to a few of my standby clinque shades. I'm obsessed with purple lately. Eggplant liners, purple mascara, burgundy shadows... I can't get enough. 

Today I have a few of my favorite pins for you to get you excited.
