Easy DIY 2016 Desk Calendar (& Free Printable!)

Hello, hello! Right before I left work for a nice little Christmas/New Years break, I realized I needed a new desk calendar. I know it's crazy that that's what I'm thinking about, but I look at that thing like it's my job and know I would be inconvenienced if I came back without a 2016 (HOW?!) calendar to reference.

I knew I wanted something cute but also practical so I decided to take it upon myself to come up with a DIY and I'm super happy with it!


Perfect Inexpensive Makeup Storage

Hi friends! Today's post is all about my new makeup storage. I've been in the market for larger storage and was also hoping to find something that was black. Let's just say, I hit the jackpot!

My Workout Must-Haves!

For the past month and a half, I've been going to the gym 5 times a week which is so unlike me. If you knew me in real life, you'd know I've always been a yo-yo gym goer. In the past, I've always lacked the motivation and drive it takes to get my butt to the gym multiple times a week.

Along with the immediate motivation of knowing I had a beach vacation coming up, I finally got together some items that keep me motivated and at the gym for more than 20 mins ;) Keep on reading to hear about my essentials!

December BoxyCharm Unboxing!

I'm obsessed with this month's box! I can't say enough good things about BOXYCHARM. Not only has this subscription helped me stop spending so much money on products (since I know I have 5-6 full size products coming to me each month), it's really helped broadened my horizons on beauty brands.

Sometimes it's hard to find great brands that aren't sold at Sephora or talked about on YouTube, so this box is the perfect solution. I've found so many favorites from this subscription and I don't see that stopping anytime soon! Keep reading to see this month's box.


Dry, Flaky Skin Remedy!


It's that time of year where your skin decides to become chapped and flakey. As you know from my last post, I just came back from a vacation in Mexico and my skin is nicely bronzed. The one issue is, I didn't prepare to come back home to almost freezing weather and my skin went into shock. Between some sunburn and frigid temps, my skin bugged out and became extremely dry and flakey.

I never experienced dryness like this before so I was kind of freaking out. I couldn't wear makeup without my face looking SO cakey and when I woke up on Saturday morning, my skin looked like it was all about to peel off. Luckily, I ended up at my neighbors house in the morning and she saw my face and knew exactly what to give me... almond oil.
