‘Tis the season, you guys!
You can’t walk into a store without seeing a holiday display, and those red Starbucks cups are literally just about everywhere.
I may not be listening to Christmas carols yet, but I did already light my favorite holiday candle.
I don’t know what your plans are, but there is so much to celebrate. From Friendsgiving to New Year’s Eve. You’ve got people to see and outfits to plan.
After Halloween and all of my exaggerated makeup looks, my skin hasn’t been too happy with me.
A deep clean was very much needed.
What did I use to give myself a deep facial cleansing?
Remember when I said I was considering about shaving my head again? Well, my sister, who does my hair from time to time, pointed out that my natural hair was super dry.
She suggested using argan oil to help with that.

Halloween is this weekend and I have been trying to figure out what I want to be. At the same time, spending money on a costume is not an option.
Don’t ask me why, but I already have tons of costumes.
This year, I wanted to use what I have to be something different…

The October Birchbox theme was Positive Force and the box was pink for Breast Cancer Awareness.
Influenster and Yves Saint Laurent teamed up for a second YSL VoxBox. And by some miracle I was selected to receive this one too.
Two YSL VoxBoxes?
Be still, my heart!
Yet again I opted to receive the featured box for my September Birchbox. But in my defense it’s the Customer Favorites, so all the samples are loved by us!
There was not one product that I got this month that I hated.
My last few Julep Maven Box posts have been the result of me forgetting to skip the month (as I stop typing to go skip for October), but not this time…
I racked up enough Jules to get my September box free!
I usually go with my Bombshell box, but this time opted for the It Girl, all nail polish box. So, where I would typically get two nail colors and a beauty product, this month I got three nail colors.
Well, technically four. Because this month’s treat was the signature Julep nail color! It’s my favorite one this month and I am so happy about the timing of this all!
I got a holographic color in my August box as well, they are fun, but I don’t know that I’ll wear them very often. I guess I’m just kind of basic like that.
I thought Aubrey was a holographic color as well. Turns out it’s not, but still fun. Plus, it’ll be nice for fall. Which officially begins tomorrow. Can you believe it? I’m not ready. Some friends and I even have a giveaway on Instagram because #summerforever!
Zoey is legit the color I have been looking for all summer. Is it too sad to say that I’m already looking forward to wearing it next year? Not that I won’t before then.
So many colors, it looks like I’m going to have to start doing my nails more.
How often do you switch up your polish?

While volunteering at a local beauty event, I discovered a new local skincare brand.
And you guys, I’m OBSESSED.
Palmetto Derma products are all paraben and sulfate-free. And vegan!
Plus, 1% of their profits goes to Breast Cancer Awareness.
I’ve tired a number of skincare systems, but not really any cleansers.
With the Palmetto Derma lavender water and tea tree oil daily cleanser, my face is actually clean. Kiss those clogged pores goodbye!
As you know, I can never get enough of multitasking products, so this rose water and aloe toning facial spray is something I consider a major must have. And it even comes in a set with the cleanser!
Natural. Organic. Plus cruelty free AND local?!
As much as I love makeup, I want to be comfortable enough in my own skin to not feel like I need it. And Palmetto Derma actually supports that in their mission.
I dig that.
A lot.
Healthy skin means a barefaced and beautiful you!
