Sandal Season

It is getting so warm in Connecticut and I am loving it!!!! In honor of this new warm weather I painted my nails with Essie's Mob Squad! It's the perfect pink . . not too barbie like!

Tomorrow I will be wearing my bow sandals! Can't wait!! Are you excited for the warm weather???

Birchbox

My March Birchbox has finally arrived!!! It is everything I hoped for and more!!! Birchbox gave two options this month - the regular Birchbox or the Teen Vogue Birthbox. I opted for the Teen Vogue Birchbox. I figured, Hey why not, I want to look a little younger!!!! For anyone who is thinking of ordering the monthly Birchbox subscription . . .DO IT!!!! It is definitly worth it!

This is how the Birchbox came! Adorable Packaging I must say!!!!

I don't even have the heart to throw away the box!!!!

An adorable note was written by the Birchbox girls and Teen Vogue!

This is how the Birchbox looked when I opened it!!!! I got a sample of Kate Spades Twirl Perfume, an Essie nailpolish (that I have already painted my nailes with). a hair elastic, a hair product (not my favorite but still okay), a Tarte Lip Stain, and 2 coupons!

When I first saw this color I wasn't sure how I was going to like it or if I was going to like it. Well I put it on my nails with no color underneath and I LOVE it! My nails look adorable with just the right amount of shimmer!

This was my favorite in the Birchbox. A full size Tarte (in the color Lucky) moisturizing lip stain. I'm not sure if I can rock the color yet, BUT I have to say that it is so moisturizing that I don't even care if it doesn't look good! It is a creamy stain! Love!!!

This hair elastic is ideal for someone with thick hair like me! I almost always wake up with a dent in my hair from regular hair elastics and this one didn't leave a mark! I am going to be purchasing some of these with my Birchbox points!

This product was okay! My hair is very picky about what it uses and so I probably won't be using this product too much!

All and all my first Birchbox experience rocked! I can't wait for next months!!!

Beauty Routine

I wanted to share my daily face care routine with you! It's so simple and easy and I very rarely get any kind of blemishes! These products are budget friendly and fantastic! 

Step 1. Yonka Gel Cleanser - This works wonders! It's lightweight and non drying but oil free.

 

2. Proactiv Toner - I love this toner even though I don't follow all the steps. I had a really hard time finding a toner that dried my combination skin. This works wonders!

3. Mario Badescu - A.H.A & Ceramide Moisturizer - This makes your skin radiant and so soft! Oil free and non greasy, I love the feel of this cream!

I hope these products work for you as much as they work for me!!

Hallway Redecoration

I have been living in my new apartment since October and little by little it's getting to look the way I want! These next couple of weeks I'm working on the hallway. In order to get to any room in the house, you need to walk through the hallway so I want it to be beautiful and comforting! The house is a 1900's Victorian and there are a lot of original "touches" to it that I just adore!
                                                                   Like this chandelier!

There is an original chair rail dividing the wall and right now the top is cream and the bottom is beige . . . BORING .  . . So I am thinking of painting the top walls a lighter blue and the bottom a darker tan so it gives a beach like effect!! This way the furniture, pictures, and mirrors that I have on the wall pop! Can't wait to paint!
