February 18, 2020

Last year I searched high and low for the perfect nude lipstick. There are literally hundreds of options! Once I found the right color, I noticed that the formula was a bit sticky and it felt like I was wearing paint on my lips. Not good! So I decided to see what Beautycounter had to offer and my mind was blown!Colors from top to bottom: Color Intense Lipstick in Backstage, Lip Sheers in Terra and Twig, Color Intense Lipstick in 9 to 5)

2019 Book Recommendations

February 11, 2020

I'm super excited about this post, but I wish I had kept an ongoing log of my 2019 book recommendations as I read them instead of trying to recall them now. One of my goals from 2019 was to get back into reading, along with watching less tv. 🙂 Fortunately, I was able to read 11 books. Unfortunately, I didn’t reduce my screen time. In fact, my dedicated Netflix hours quadrupled during Fall 2019. So there’s that!

I’m super excited about this post, but I wish I had kept an ongoing log of my 2019 book recommendations as I read them instead of trying to recall them now. I’ll remember to do that next time.

It’s a new year and a new decade! Can you believe it?! How are we already done with January? It feels like a whirlwind.

Back in September, I got super sick during a vacation to Boise, Idaho and I haven’t been 100% since. During Christmas, I also came down with a cold and then once January got here I got the flu. During that time, I fell completely off social media. I was posting pretty good there for a while but after a busy quarter 4 with my business and getting the flu, it kinda went downhill. Needless to say, I am ready to kick this cold in the butt and get back to a healthy lifestyle.
