I have been loving a lot of products this summer, especially since starting school, but I didn’t want to make this a super long list of favorites when August Favorites is right around the corner and not to far down the road will be yearly favorites! So I tried super hard to narrow it down to the top five things I have been

Redken Styling Collection
As I mentioned in a few posts, I just started school for a degree in Cosmetology. This means that I’m not only learning new techniques for hair and makeup but I’m also learning more about products. This would be a great time to mention a new series that I’m starting but I haven’t quite named it yet so if you can think of a
Allure & butterLONDON Arm Candy Collection
Last Monday and Tuesday I was having a set of REALLY bad days. I’ve had some bad days in my life but this was just the icing on the cake.

July Favorites
Wow this is super late isn’t it? I had all intentions of having this post up at the end of July, however, with all the stuff that has gone into getting ready to go back to school I just didn’t have the time.

Easy DIY Chipotle Burritos and the Guac is Free
I first heard about Chipotle from a friend who went to one every chance they got. Living in the back country I had to ask “You mean like a Moe’s?”, which is the only non Taco Bell/Taco John’s burrito place I had ever heard of.

Did you know that Christie Brinkley has a skincare line? I didn’t realize that either until I was given the opportunity to review the Instant Wrinkle Reducer and Treatment. I agreed to try it because I was super intrigued, as I usually am about celebrity products. I’m usually wary of products created/co-created by celebrities, I’m usually afraid that they just put their name on
