I just couldn’t not share about what I’ll be drinking tonight! Don’t hate me, but I’m not a big fan of Guinness, or Baileys. So, still wanting to keep it festive for St. Patrick’s Day, I found a green beer DIY on Pinterest.
SUPER easy you guys! The how to can be found here.
Essentially, you just add green food coloring to your favorite light colored beer. But the order is kind of important.
Happy St. Paddy’s Day! If you’re going out tonight, be safe. And also wear green, especially if you want to avoid getting pinched.
If you have really short nails like I do, you’re going to want to cut the confetti into smaller pieces. I cut each piece in about half.
After prepping your nails as you usually would, apply your base coat, then, without letting it dry place a piece of confetti on each nail.
This part can be a little tricky (and a little messy). If you have nail glue, you can definitely use it to hold the confetti in place. I didn’t. But it’s an option.
Let dry before applying your top coat. I let this dry and added another coat, you don’t have to, I just get slightly paranoid.
Plus, I really wanted to make sure they lasted as long as possible.
This may have to be my new St. Patrick’s Day tradition!
Not the first time I’ve mentioned this, but although Agnes & Dora is best known for it’s amazingly comfortable leggings, their other items are equally as comfy and cute!
What I like most about their leopard print skirt (other than the leopard spots, obviously…), is the fact that it looks great both dressed up and kept casual.
Holy chic! Right?
The second way is actually how I wore it to The Lady Project Summit this past Saturday. Oddly enough, I started to prepare for the summit by mentally picking out my outfit.
Major fail!
I ended up not having anything ready until after I did my makeup that morning.
Even though my outfit was kind of just quickly thrown on, I like to think I looked very much so put together. (I attribute that to the cape blazer.)
This is not the first time I have tried Hask Hair shampoo and conditioner. As much as I liked the Argan Oil, I really wanted to try the Monoi Coconut Oil set.
Because, coconut.
Not only does it work just as well, it’s even more moisturizing.
Plus, it smells AMAZING!
And as a bonus, Hask Hair included a cute brush. It’s travel size, so I tossed it into my tote bag and use it to brush my hair whenever I’m on the go.
The brush is pretty sweet, but I am obsessed with the Nourishing Shine Hair Oil. If I wasn’t afraid of accidentally not putting the cap back on properly and it coming off and spilling all over everything, I’d keep it in my bag too.
Of all the shampoos, conditioners and hair products I’ve tried, these are my favorites.
Each month myself and four other boss blogger babes have been styling the same piece of clothing and since we all look and think differently from each other (hair, religion, location, skin, size, height, style…all of the above), you’ll get five totally different looks. That means you’ll get to see what I style, on other body types so you can find something that is best for you!
Wrap shirts and dresses aren’t typically my style, but this NoVAe top is very me. So, for this look I went with the most me things in my closet, including my favorite pair of destroyed jeans and everyday Gap flats.
I get a lot of compliments on bucket bag, and people often ask me where I got it. The answer is Old Navy, so the next time you’re there, you have to make sure to check out their accessory selection!
As for jewelry, I like bold, but I love dainty. More so, I like classic pieces that are timeless or meaningful. My necklaces represent my name and my zodiac sign.
Double the meaning because I layered them.
As a whole, this outfit is basically what I would consider my go to daily uniform.
It may be a little more risqué, but I totally want to try wearing this Novae top without a tank top underneath. What do you think?
Continuing my National Craft Month challenge, I decided to attempt one of my more recent pins.
After not being able to successfully track down the Who What Wear x Target zip pouch, instead of giving up all hope, I took the DIY approach.
From the second I spotted The Crafted Life’s 10 Minute DIY Polka Dot Purse, I knew I wanted to make my own polka dot clutch. Something I could use to keep my purse a little more organized or quickly grab on my way out the door for a few quick errands.
The hardest part of this craft project? Picking out the colors!
In other words, it’s super easy, really quick and, most importantly, it’s a lot of fun!
It’s been a little bit since I’ve gone with the featured box for my Birchbox sample choice selection. But, for me, the March 2016 Birchbox, Ready for Anything themed box was the obvious option.
Parlor is a brand that I have heard a lot about through Birchbox, but didn’t think I’ve get in as a sample in my Birchbox. Just another reason to have selected this month’s feature box. I’ll be attending a conference soon and really hope this blowout spray will hold up throughout the weekend.
I’ve gone a little face mask crazy lately, and even managed to get the manfriend kind of, sort of into them a little too. Surprisingly, I haven’t tried any eye pads, so these Wilma Schumann ones will not go to waste! Maybe multi masking will be my next beauty endeavor…
Something a bit more familiar, is Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream. Having tried it before, I knew I liked it, but I’m happy to have some again. Plus, the container is great for travel!
Smashbox is one of the first beauty brands I ever tried and loved. A sample with not one, not two, but THREE colors is practically unheard of! I really want to order the full size version in Vignette.
Milk Makeup is a brand spanking new and I am excited to have gotten it through Birchbox. I wish the sample was a bigger (and another color), but I’m happy I get to try it out.

Growing up, I never thought I’d be even half as makeup obsessed as I am. I wouldn’t say that makeup is my passion, exactly, but I certainly am passionate about makeup.
Trying products out in various colors is fun, and I absolutely love it when I find new makeup bag staples. When I tried Lune+Aster that I received from Blue Mercury, I found just that.
I tried layering the mascara with other mascaras and didn’t love the outcome. But alone, loved it for an understated, everyday look. As for the lipgloss, Teacher makes an excellent nude. While I adore my NYX lipgloss in Praline, Lune+Aster in Teacher is equally as amazing, minus the scent, which a lot of people don’t like.
Both will definitely be found in my purse on a regular basis. And I for sure will be trying the lipgloss in different colors. I’m thinking Editor in Chief or Rebel next…
Chances are you’ve heard of The Confetti Bar, or at least seen their confetti around Instagram. It’s also likely that you got the today is National Cereal Day memo, even if it was a little too late.
I hate scrabbling around at the last possible minute to get everything together. And with so many holidays to keep track of and to prepare for, it can really get to be a bit overwhelming.
Not anymore! The Confetti Bar now has the Confetti of the Month Club and I got to give their first box a go. Included is four different confetti mixes that go with that month’s national holidays and a digital holiday calendar is sent to you via email in advance so you’ll be able to know what holidays are coming up.
This month’s confetti is for National Cereal Day, St. Patrick’s Day, National Awkward Moments Day, and Easter. Which is in March this year.
The Awkward Moments Day mix is scented, I can’t quite figure out what the actual scents are, but sunshine and rainbows smells pretty darn close!
Today is the last chance to sign up for the April box, if you’re already signed up for the ultra-exclusive email list. Find out how to get the party started here!
Did you know that March is National Craft Month? I plan on taking full advantage of this and using it as an excuse to do at least one of the thousands of Pinterest projects I’ve long since sworn that I was going to do, each week this month.
One easy craft project each week for a month?
That’s totally doable!
I wanted to start with something pretty, and while at Trader Joe’s picking up flowers, I spotted a bouquet of eucalyptus branches for only $2.99. After having just bought a rug at IKEA and keeping the string that it came wrapped in, I knew I had my first simple project. A minimalist eucalyptus DIY arrangement that is WAY easier than making a wreath or even a garland.
STEP 1: Open the bouquet and cut the branches (on an angle) to desired length.
STEP 2: Gather a few branches and wrap your string around them. Finish by knotting the string.
That’s it!
Simple, right?
What you decide to do with your arrangement next, is completely and totally up to you. I currently have a bundle I made displayed on a tray with faux steer skull and a candle, but I have given some thought to hanging one up in the shower or on the wall over my bed.
If this is a craft you’d consider doing, how would you show it off? Tell me in the comments!
