Cozy Bed Guide

October 23, 2017 No Comments

Let me go ahead and start this post by apologizing for being the worst blogger ever lately. It’s been a couple of weeks since my last post and I haven’t been as active on Instagram lately because I’ve been slightly distracted by my new auntie status- and let me just say, Ella Rose Gifford is the most perfect human ever!!! Exhibit A: Most of my spare time is spent rushing over to my sisters to snuggle this little one, but I am finally getting back into a routine now that she’s almost two weeks old! Onto the post! I totally […]

Shay Mitchell Makeup Tutorial

October 2, 2017 No Comments

Isn’t Shay Mitchell everyones girl crush? Cause she’s definitely mine! Most people know her from her Pretty Little Liars days, a show I never actually watched, but I do follow her on Instagram and I keep up with her Youtube channel pretty regularly, too. I was watching this video the other day and got inspired to do a makeup tutorial that was similar. Similar meaning none of the products are the same and I didn’t take nearly as many steps, but a tutorial nonetheless with glowy skin, matte shades of brown on the eyes, thick brows, and a nude lip… […]

Bootay Bag Review

September 30, 2017 No Comments

Can I just say that I love monthly subscriptions? I love them because I always forget that I have them and then I get them in the mail and its like a surprise present from myself, to myself. Well ladies, listen up because today I’m here to talk about BootayBag, a monthly subscription service you’re sure to love that is “changing the way women enjoy underwear”. The Company: You know I already love BootayBag because they are a Denver based company, but in addition to that they are a company I totally support because…. They give back- for every […]

September 26, 2017 No Comments

Do you clean your makeup brushes regularly? I know so many people in my life who don’t- and I totally get it! I used to DREAD cleaning my makeup brushes until I found the routine I have now. No matter how big a hassle though, cleaning your makeup brushes is essential for getting the best possible makeup application and to keep your brushes (and therefore your face!) bacteria free and squeaky clean. Let’s jump right in because this routine is super simple and it’s more than likely you have most of the tools needed to get clean brushes! WHAT YOU’LL […]

Sneak Peak: Fall Sweaters from Violet Joy

September 17, 2017 No Comments

Am I the only one who started dressing like it was fall several weeks ago? Especially with a 9-to-5 job now, I think its so much easier to dress business casual when the weather is a little crisp and you can just throw on a sweater and go! The other day while I was shooting new arrivals for Violet Joy I fell in love with so many of the sweaters we have coming that I had to get on here and do a post about them. As some of you have probably seen, I have been working very closely with […]

PSA: My favorite lipgloss EVER is now at Nordstrom Rack!

September 12, 2017 No Comments

The other day I was casually strolling through my favorite section in Norstrom Rack when I saw the MAC logo out of the corner of my eye. As a Norstrom Rack regular and a MAC freelancer I knew this was a new display so I walked over, half expecting to find a bunch of unsuccessful MAC products that were probably in shades I would never even think of wearing. I was mostly right, but before I gave up I just so happened to stumble upon my favorite lipgloss of all time. Ample Pink Plushglass by MAC is something I can come […]

DIY French Themed Baby Shower

September 4, 2017 1 Comment

My sister is having a baby!!!! We held the baby shower last weekend and unfortunately I am just now getting around to posting about it! For the shower, I planned the entire thing but I had a LOT of help executing all my big ideas. To start: the theme. My sisters name is Jaclyn and one of the names she is considering for the baby is french as well so I thought a french theme with a lot of white, pale pink (its a girl!), and greenery would be perfect! As I always do with events like this, Pinterest is […]

I Colored My Hair!! Back to Brunette <3

August 24, 2017 No Comments

This Persian girl is back to her roots! I naturally have darkish brown hair that lightens up in the summer, probably thanks to my blonde haired mama. For the past 2 and a half years I have been balayage highlighting my hair similar to the way Jessie James Decker’s hair looks, but I just recently decided to go back to brunette! Pics of my old hair below: I have a tough head of hair that can handle a lot, but this last summer I really started noticing the bleach taking its toll. My hair just wasn’t as soft and shiny […]

Lake Glendo

August 13, 2017 No Comments

Is it just me or is time going faster than usual? It seems like I always have something to do the last couple of weeks and I don’t see that slowing down anytime soon! This time of year I am usually preparing to head back to school, but since college is over, instead I am doing what I’ve done all summer: working my little tail off. The golf course is nuts this time of year, Violet Joy just launched our site and is crazy busy (YAY!), and looking for a full time job is a full time job in itself. […]

A weekend of outfits

August 7, 2017 No Comments

This weekend was an eventful one and I wanted to share the outfits that I wore with you guys! On Friday night Hayden and I went to one of our good friends from high school’s wedding (congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Rust!) For occasions like this I don’t like spending an arm and a leg on a dress I will wear once. Instead, I like to find something less expensive and simple so that I can dress it up and wear it on other occasions! I found the perfect dress from Norstrom and it was only $45. It is by […]
