Hello!

The other day I went out and picked up Benetfit's newest release, the Roller Liner, which they've seen to launch without much press. The only place I saw it being promoted was on Sephora's Instagram, there were no bloggers or youtubers reviewing or promoting the the new line so I thought I would go ahead and buy the product and review it and do a wear test for you.

The eyeliner is promoted as having a "supper smooth application" and being "long wearing" and "waterproof" so after I applied it and gave my official first impression I put it to the ultimate makeup test. I wore it to a workout class.

This you're interested in hearing my thoughts on the product and are wondering if it passes the gym test then watch my full first impression video down below.


See you guys soon!

I mean, who didn't already like Target? But with all of the new lines they've been releasing recently I'm completely in love with Target.

They have something for everyone, whether you're embracing the 90s trend or mens wear trend. And they're accessories are killing it right now. The shoes and belts have a broad selection, my favorite fall pieces are these shoes and this belt.









What's your favorite Target line? Let me know in the comments!

See you soon!

Color-block sweaters are another HOT stripe this season. Brands are coming up with amazing and unexpected color combinations and I love that it doesn't have to be jewel tones to feel like Fall (Don't get me wrong I'll take all the jewel tone stripes too!).

Hello All!

*warning personal post ahead*
I highly doubt anyone is even here with me right now because I haven't posted in about 2 months and even before that I only posted about once a month because honestly I have felt so unmotivated to update my blog or do anything on social media really. Social Media has been kinda negative for me recently but thats a whole other post for a different day. Today I want to focus on my lifestyle change and how I went Keto.

FIRST, LETS TALK ABOUT THE MENTAL CHANGES

Before I started Keto I was in the middle of a quarter-life crisis (still very much am but ya know, once again, a post for another day) and was very unhappy. I used food (mostly carbs) as a crutch and would turn to food when I was unhappy (which was a lot of the time). Finding out about the keto diet came at the perfect time for me and was the exact lifestyle change I needed because the bulk of my food came from refined sugar and unhealthy carbs.

The first few days of Keto were so so so hard for me. I went through major sugar withdrawal, I had horrible headaches and I was constantly starving even though I was eating roughly 1400 calories. It was so hard not to cheat during those days but what helped my push through is the fact that my mom is doing this diet with me and I'm in a few Facebook groups that are so motivational and positive. Having someone with you on a lifestyle journey and having access to good resources definitely makes the difference and keeps me accountable.

After about a week of headaches and cravings I finally started to feel really good with my diet. I have amazing energy, my appetite is down and I no longer feel the need to emotional eat or boredom eat, and I'm not even craving carbs that much (except potatoes. I miss French fries so bad 😭). This diet has also helped a lot with my anxiety and keeping my head clear and focused.

NOW, LETS GET PHYSICAL

Hello guys!

I've done a few career related posts (2) in the past and now I wanted to talk about dressing business casual (which I feel like is the new professional).

Its so hard as a young adult to get your professional wardrobe sorted out. I used to think business attire was boring, just a lot of black and navy skirts and blazers, but you can actually show a lot of style while remaining professional especially with the surge of #girlboss in the past few years.

|| Blazer: Forever 21 || Pants: American Eagle || Shirt: Target || Shoes: Madden Girl ||

I love pairing black jeans with blazers, its a nice mix of menswear and femineity. I found this Blazer at Forever 21 that was surprisingly decent quality and the exact pattern I was looking for. Forever 21 can be a great place to get some pieces for cheap if you put in the work to search the ENTIRE store (I wouldn't order things online because you never know the quality based on the pictures). Business clothing can get expensive so I try to find pieces that work wherever I can.



Here are some of my top stores to look at when I'm searching for updated office wear.

MY GO-TO SHOPS:

H&M- They have really been stepping up their game the past few years in every aspect but their contemporary line has so many fashionable, office appropriate finds.

Target- Another store that has really stepped up their game (the cami I'm wearing is from A New Day). With the new additions of Who What Wear and A New Day  they really ramped up the ready to wear section that I used to think was kind of low quality and not fashion forward.

Loft- Loft is a store that I thought was for old people a few years ago *insert laugh-crying emoji here* but now its a great place to grab a few statement pieces for your wardrobe. They always have a fun variety of colors and patterns to bring life to your wardrobe.

Macy's- Macy's is a great place to pick you key, classic business pieces (I believe I called them boring a minute ago lol) for a reasonable price. Its great to have staples to mix and match ket pieces with.

Where do you shop for your workwear?

See you soon!

Hello!

Today I wanted to talk about my favorite face masks and it has been a hot minute since I talked beauty on here and that needed to be fixed ASAP. I'm a huge advocate for a weekly face mask! Not only are they good for your skin but they're also really relaxing. I love spending a Sunday afternoon with a face mask some coffee and Netflix, its like the perfect day for me. And of course there are some face masks I like more than others and I wanted to share my favorites with you!

BOSCIA LUMINIZING CHARCOAL MASK

SEPHORA SHEET MASKS

ORIGINS ROSE CLAY MASK

I love to use this mask when my skin is feeling dull and I'll put it on a few minutes before my shower so a can rinse it off easily in the shower.  Clay masks are great exfoliators and my skin feels silky smooth and after using this mask my skin looks so bright and flawless!

That wraps up my favorite masks! Are there any masks you love that I should try out?

See you soon!
