1. Mini Bio?
I am a west coast girly-girl, but I’m far from “high maintenance” and I can rough it if I have to ;) I have an M.Ed in TESOL, and I speak French and some Spanish. I love to travel and have been lucky to visit a lot of incredible places! Many things in life make me smile, and sharing my love of makeup and beauty products is a passion turned hobby!

Wednesday's Beauty Tip

Beauty Tip of the Week

HOW LONG DO YOU WAIT IN BETWEEN HAIR CUTS?

 I've always heard that the general rule is between 6 to 8 weeks, and I'm totally guilty of waiting longer than that more times than not. Oops! 

 Did you know that the type of hair cut you have determines how long you should  wait till you're next cut? I didn't know that until my friend that is a hairdresser recently told me. She said she always discusses the "expiration" date with each person's hair she cuts because every single hair cut is different. After she told me that I had to share this with you guys and thankfully she gave me the lowdown. Here it is:

Review: Maybelline Dream Nude Air Foam Foundation

I'm going to review Maybelline's Dream Air Foam Foundation today. This is a fairly new product that I never heard of it until I came across it at Walmart. At first I got excited bc I thought it was an airbrush spray foundation bc thats what it looked like. Then I realized it was an air-infused foam/mouse, I was still interested so I gave it a try.

Guest Post: The Importance of SPF and a Skin Care Routine

Hi! My name is Aly and I'm so honored to be able to do a guest post for Kelly's blog! I have my own beauty blog- www.seventhingsbeauty.blogspot.com . I love makeup and I consider it to be a creative outlet for me. In this post I would like to share with you the importance of skincare and my own, personal routine.

I know skincare may seem like a very boring thing that you don't need to pay much attention to. Before I really started getting involved in makeup, I thought the same thing. I really thought that my skin would always look like it did when I was a kid. I grew up in southern Ohio and if you live there, then you know the weather varies a lot . It will be 100+ degrees out in summer and then below 0 in winter. We also get a lot of wind and a decent amount of rain. Growing up, I never applied sunscreen when I was out in the sun like when I went to an amusement park or water park. My mom would always lecture me, but I never really saw the need to put on sunscreen, despite her wishes. Sometimes I would just to keep my mom happy, but that didn't always happen. I would get itchy, red sunburn all over my face and shoulders and I always complained.
