Wearing
Want budget-friendly beauty products that are actually high quality? How about some budget-friendly outfit ideas? Welcome to everything fashion and beauty for the average girl! Here you'll get all the deets on everything I'm wearing - clothes, makeup, etc. I don't have a lot of money, so I'm very intentional with the items I buy. Most things I wear/use are under $30 or I got on major sale to make them fall below that number. Or I used rewards. Lol. After all, the more money I save on things, the more places I can travel! I shop for beauty products almost exclusively at Ulta and Walmart or Target. If you have any specific questions you don't see answered on the blog, feel free to DM me on Instagram!

We’ve all been there. It’s September, so everyone’s breaking out the mums and booties and fall scented candles. But it’s still 7000 degrees and the humidity is 100%.

How do you look like you’re ready for fall without feeling like the clothes on your body are your very own mobile torture chamber? I’ve got the outfit for you!! Bodysuit // Jeans // Shoes // Purse (similar) // Sunglasses // Earrings I don’t know about you, but finding a bodysuit that doesn’t show wayyy too much up top without…

Easy Winged Eyeliner Tutorial
This is probably my most requested post so far! I think it’s funny because my eyes are actually two different shapes, so they’re probably difficulty level: advanced. If you follow these steps, it should be much easier for you than it is for me to get everything even! Because of my one hooded eyelid, I struggled for YEARS trying to find a liner that wouldn’t rub off on my lid/crease! I tried a couple of high end ones that worked, but MAN $22 is expensive for something you’ve gotta buy every couple of weeks! (it is for me, at least 😉 ) I FINALLY found this liquid liner that is…

What to Buy When You Can’t Afford to Shop the Nordstrom Sale
If you’ve been around me long, you’ve figured out I’m not the type of girl who spends a lot of money on clothes. Well, let me rephrase that. I won’t spend a lot of money on one particular item of clothing. And to me, “a lot” is typically over $25. Sometimes $15 or even $10, depending on the item. SO every year when the Nordstrom sale rolls around, I can’t help but watch blogger after blogger talk about their “amazing NSale finds” and wonder… Is it really that good of a find? Because I guarantee I can find just about every one of those “must have items” for this fall for…

Loose Curly Hair Tutorial
I’ve gotten quite a few requests over the past few months to do a hair tutorial, so here we are! I’ve never done a tutorial for anything before, so bear with me. I think this’ll be fun!! First off, I have naturally curly hair, so 1. It does hold curl well and 2. I have to blow dry it straight before I curl it, otherwise it looks a little crazy! I use this primer to keep my hair from getting heat damage. AND it cuts your drying time in half, which, if you have thick hair like me, is a LIFE SAVER. (I included it in my post all about my…

NYC Summer Packing Guide
Helloooooooo from my little home for the month in NYC!! I’ve been here for less than 24 hours and can already tell I’m going to love it. For those of you who don’t know, I’m currently trying to decide where I’ll be moving to next. When my friend called me up a few weeks ago and asked if I wanted to sublet her apartment in Queens for the entire month of July, I said HECK YEAH I DO! Because what’s life without a little spontaneity? So here I am, settled into her apartment and *almost* ready to explore the city. It feels like a furnace outside today and it’s supposed…
