Ross haul!

Hello my lovelies! Can you believe that it’s already April?! As a senior I can’t!

A few weeks ago, I needed a bit of retail therapy, so I went to check out my local Ross. I love how both Ross and Marshall’s little beauty section has a bunch of hidden little gems!

The first thing I got was a little pink portable mirror. I was going on an orchestra event that weekend and remembered that I would be sharing a hotel room with 4 girls, all of which will be fighting over the mirror. So I decided to get myself my own little one. The mirror was only $4.99

Next I got these super cute ankle high black booties. My new craze his ankle high booties, and all of mine are either brown or tan, so I wanted to shake things up a bit by getting some black ones. The booties where only $12.99

Next I got some rose oil. Now I’m a huge fan of anything rose or lavender. And I especially love rose oil and rose water, so when I saw this rose oil I just had to get it. I really love how there are real roses in it. It gives it a natural smell. Perfect for going to bed with. This was $4.99

Next I got a set of scrunchies. Recently I was going through some old hair accessories I used to have as a kid, and realized how much I love scrunchies. They are majorly under appreciated. The scrunchies I had as a kid didn’t really match the outfits I tend to wear, so when I found these scrunchies and realized that they would match a lot of my outfits I was so in love! These were only $3.99!

4 Tips for Gorgeous Blog Photos (Without a Camera)

Hi guys! Welcome back to another blogging tips sort of post, I hope this will be helpful to anyone who is starting out, or if you don’t have a camera and are using your phone! Even if you have been blogging for ages, comment down below your own tricks for nice photos, since I am no pro here!

Backgrounds for Photos –

You can create backgrounds out of things you already own or cheap materials. A white background or marble one looks the cleanest. You can pick up a tile of marble from a home improvement store for $2 for pictures. I have this white leather stool (from Poppin!) that I always use the side of for pictures. You can use anything, so its worth experimenting!

Cleaning out my Makeup Collection for the New Year

Hello and welcome back to our blog! I want to thank all of you guys for reading and I hope I help inspire you all to clean out your own collections for the new year. I felt very cluttered and didn’t have any room to put any of my amazing Christmas palettes or new beauty items away so I decided it was time for a clean out.

I’ll show you guys how I organize soon after I figure out what I am doing!

Here is a before picture: (this is a crowded nightmare)

As you can see everything is spilling out of its rightful boxes! (Also you can see my feet, I’m sorry I forgot to crop out my mismatched socks and the random mess on the right)
