My husband’s family lives in Cleveland, so we take quite a few weekend trips. (5 hour drives!) I remember the first time we went for the weekend. I took the BIGGEST makeup bag with me. I was thinking I would want to do some really unique things all weekend and stay on top of things…but the truth is, I stuck to a pretty basic look all weekend and could have brought less than HALF of what I did. This time, I really worked on travel sizes, not bringing duplicates of things (like 400 lipsticks) and multi-tasking pieces. My Urban Decay Naked Flushed palette is a bronzer, highlight and blusher all…

Last weekend, Brett and I joined Mell and her family at a small, local water park that happens to be at the halfway point between both of our houses (15-20 min each way.) It was a little chilly, but it was such an awesome day! I took my Ipsy bag and some of my favorite contents from July’s bag. The Pixi lip crayon, Pur Big Look Mascara, and Hang Ten tanning oil are my picks for the day at the park. I also brought some cash and my eyelash curlers. The best part about my Ipsy bag this month was actually the bag itself! It’s the only one I’ve truly…

There ARE about 3-4 shadows I LOVE. They all happen to be the shimmery, taupe and bronzy shades. The rest I just like. The pigmentation isn’t the greatest, especially in the matte shades, but if you have a good base, you can work these up to…

About a week ago, I was invited to a happy hour/tasting party to sample some of Bagger Dave’s newest signature drinks. (Spoiler alert: They are all delicious!) I took my husband and our friends Kathy & Liza to do the testing with us and had an awesome time. The drinks were all really flavorful, but Red Sky and The Silencer were my favorites. Oh! You can’t leave out the food!! We had a Bleu Buffalo Tavern Fries appetizer and some sweet potato chips and regular french fries. I am in LOVE with their garlic buffalo sauce. It’s honestly to die for. They have tons of burgers and a build…
