sephora holiday vib sale recommendations

This year's Sephora Holiday Sale snuck up on me. Anyone else? I remember it being a bit later in November in past years, but I realized on Sunday that the sale starts this Friday!

I don't typically buy a lot during this sale, but I still love seeing what people recommend and purchase for themselves. I wanted to share my all-time favorites that I constantly repurchase and that I think you should have you in your makeup collection.

halloween oreo brownies

Or how to make boxed brownies better.

I feel guilty even writing this a blog post because it's so easy, but I always like sharing helpful tips like this. And while you'll need to have some kind of Oreo for this, you'll need one more ingredient that I bet you always have in your kitchen. It's probably even something you have every day. And you'll need so little of it that you can just put it aside in the morning.

Are you ready?

a life update and another leap of faith

Some big news to share today, friends!

I've been wanting to update my blog and make more YouTube videos but was pretty busy and feeling very rushed during the month of July. There were so many things that needed to get done and it had me feeling like there just wasn't enough time in one day. Or really, there just weren't enough days in the month.

But I've had some time to get a little bit settled and felt it was finally time to share my big life news. Are you ready?

what i love but didn't buy from the nordstrom anniversary sale

Public Access to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale started today! I've been watching the site the last few days to see what I love that's still available. While a bunch of things have obviously sold out, there's still a lot of good items left in the sale. If you really think you absolutely need it, I would grab it as soon as possible. But just as a warning, I ordered things last Friday that were then cancelled two days later so don't be surprised if that happen to you too. It's disappointing, I know, but at the end of the day, they're just clothes.

I know everyone talks about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, but I love reading what other people found and loved. There are a ton of great things included this year! Of course I bought a bunch, but there were also things I passed on and other things I already own that I definitely recommend. I just placed my order today so it will be a few days before I even get any of my purchases so I plan on doing a follow up on what I keep in a week or two.

But... My thoughts on the sale this year differs from previous years.

hi, i’m 30

Hi. Remember me? I'm still around, promise!

Life in general got the best of me, but I want to come back and start writing more. And what better way to do that than to share some things I've learned before turning 30.
