Beauty for real women, from the inside out. Self love, easy beauty tutorials, and a simple, joyful home.
About a year ago, one of my “bucket list concerts” came true when I saw Backstreet Boys in Las Vegas. They are touring again and I get to see them tomorrow! That’s why I knew that I absolutely HAD to do the Millennium album as my next Album Cover Makeup.
Millennium was the first CD I ever purchased. Technically I purchased two CD’s at the same time… [Read more…]

I have a paint sprayer that I have used for years on furniture projects, but I was always too scared to use it inside. Then my friend asked if she could borrow it for a bathroom makeover. I knew I wanted to help her to overcome my fear of using it inside!

Clinique was the first brand of mascara that I ever tried that I didn’t buy from a drugstore. I remember feeling like a real adult when I purchased it! It opened up a whole new world of makeup for me. Clinique is such a trusted brand who makes quality products time and time again. The awesome thing about Clinique too is that they offer special pricing on different products really often. I LOVE getting a deal on premium beauty products!
I have been wanting to try more Clinique mascaras, so I will definitely be taking advantage of the buy 2 mascaras, get 1 free deal at Macy’s, happening 7/19/19-7/20/19! You get a free full-size Clinique mascara! That is such a killer deal! Before I chose which mascaras I wanted to try, I did some research and read a lot of online reviews. I narrowed it down and I want to share the 3 choices I will be purchasing. [Read more…]
I have been a Color Street Independent Stylist since they launched over two years ago. I absolutely love my Color Street nails! I love that they last so much longer than traditional nail polish and my customers do too! One of my most asked questions is how to remove Color Street nails. While these nail polish strips can be removed with nail polish remover, I wanted to share a few tips to make sure you remove your Color Street nails easily, while keeping your nails healthy.
It’s no secret that I love music, but did you know that my whole family does too? We love creating music playlists that our entire family can enjoy, as well as playlists that are created for each of us individually.
I started getting a lot of questions about what type of music I let my kids listen to, that I also liked. It made me realize that people just don’t have the time to research music that adults like, but isn’t full of filthy messages. That is when our summertime playlist, Girl Loves Glam Summer Jams was born. Everyone deserves to have access to a good, family friendly music playlist that your whole family will actually enjoy! We literally went through each of our playlists and chose the songs that we felt were most appropriate for summer!
Unicorn crafts have been all the rage for a few years now. Everything seems to be cuter with a unicorn horn on it! We wanted to host a little summer kickoff party with my daughter and some of her friends. There is no better way to kick off the summer with a bunch of little girls than to do a unicorn craft! We made these darling unicorn dreamcatchers. Each of them were unique and they all turned out so cute!
These unicorn dream catchers are really easy to make. I would recommend them for ages 6+, depending on the skill level. [Read more…]
By now, you know my love of bath bombs runs deep! I love the benefits of using bath bombs. They are great for your skin and the various essential oils used can help with different ailments. These lavender vanilla bath bombs are great for relaxing your mind and body. The lavender helps soothe you, while the vanilla adds another gorgeous scent to your experience.
The lavender and vanilla scents make this bath bomb a perfect bath bomb to make as a gift! They are popular scents that almost everyone loves! [Read more…]
Why are so many women wearing bras that they hate? I hear my friends mention how much they hate their current bra all of the time. Why are we doing that to ourselves?! Not all bras are created equally, and honestly it is hard to find the right one. But the best way to do that is to try a variety of bras!
It seems like every month becomes my favorite Album Cover Makeup look! I am happy to say that this month is no different! When I chose Katy Perry Teenage Dream as my next album cover makeup venture, I was excited to do something fun, bright, and a little crazy!
Katy Perry Teenage Dream is PACKED with hits. This album has 7 Grammy’s for both the album and the songs on it. Basically if you think of any of Katy Perry’s biggest hits, it is probably on this album. It’s pretty incredible! Katy Perry took on the theme of bright, playful, flirty, and fun and brought it to the next level with this album and it’s tour. I knew I needed to do the same with my album cover look! [Read more…]
We all know the dreaded words, “I’m bored” that seem to happen all summer! It is important to be prepared with some summer boredom busters. Last year, I prepared ahead of time and created what we are calling, the Summer Boredom Box. It was a summer boredom idea box that was used as a reward system for when chores get done. It worked really well and I wanted to do it again, but we did make a few adjustments for this year. I wanted to include a lot more free activities and things that my kids could do without my help.
I will include everything that we put in the summer boredom box from last year and this year, as well as tons of great summer activity ideas that you can use that aren’t in our boxes.
I wanted it to be used as a reward system, so that we were sure to get chores done before anything else. I also wanted it to be kept in a box that only one thing is taken out each day, so that everything is looked at as a novelty. Some days, we will be going out and doing fun activities after chores are done, so the box won’t be necessary on those days. A summer boredom box doesn’t need to be a crazy financial investment. I did spend a little more this year than I did last year on a few of the items because I knew they were going to be items that we were going to buy this summer anyway. Because there were a few more expensive items, I wanted to include more free items as well. [Read more…]
