Why Get Body Waxing Services?

July 2, 2018 By McKenzie Leave a Comment

Thank you Waxing The City for sponsoring this post. Unwanted hair is part of life…and so is getting rid of it. From brows – to backscaping – to bare it all Brazilians –we’ve seen it all. With 100 locations open –you’ll be sure to find a Waxing The City studio near you. First time customers get 50% off their first service!

When I was in beauty school, it was the first time that I learned about body waxing. I had gotten my eyebrows waxed for years, but I never gotten any other part of my body waxed. I am a huge believer in it now!

Body waxing makes me feel clean, smooth, and ready for any activities. I don’t have to worry about shaving before swimming or chafing when I am running. Body waxing has been a really awesome investment in myself! [Read more…]

Sleek Twisted Bun | Quick and Simple Hair

May 24, 2018 By McKenzie Leave a Comment

With as busy as life gets, many of us don’t have a lot of time to dedicate to our hair. However, when I have done my hair, I feel SO much better about myself. It is worth taking the time to do my hair, but the time is always there. That is why I am excited to bring you the second hairstyle in my Quick and Simple Hair series! If you missed the Quick and Simple Hair series kickoff hairstyle, braided cross-over ponytail, definitely check it out as well! Today’s hairstyle is a simple twisted bun that is sleek and is easily my favorite hairstyle to do when my hair is wet.

This twisted bun is also a favorite of mine to do when my hair is dirty, or just isn’t cooperating the way that I want it to. It looks regal, fresh, and fancy. But here is the secret… this hairstyle takes less than 10 minutes to do! All you need in order to achieve this look is hairspray, bobby pins, and a hair elastic. Pretty simple! [Read more…]

Putting Olay Infusions to the Tilt Test

May 11, 2018 By McKenzie Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Olay. The opinions and text are all mine.

By now, you know how much I love Olay Cleansing Infusions! I also know that many of you have purchased it for yourself and are loving the results as well!

I put Olay Cleansing Infusion body wash and face wash to the test to see if it really would make my skin glow. Olay introduced the world to what they like to call the Tilt Test. After you have been using Olay Cleansing Infusion, you can tilt your skin in the light and literally see your skin glow! I feel like when my skin is this radiant, I feel more radiant on the inside as well. [Read more…]

Braided Cross-Over Ponytail | Quick and Simple Hair

May 9, 2018 By McKenzie 1 Comment

Let’s face it, most days we don’t have time to do intense hairstyles that take loads of time. Most days, we have 5-10 minutes to do our hair before we have to get to appointments. That is why I am excited to start bringing more quick and simple hairstyles! To kick off this series, I am bringing you one of my absolute favorite hairdos for busy days. This braided cross over ponytail looks like it took a lot of effort, but it only takes 5-10 minutes to do and it can easily be done with wet hair!

February 15, 2018 By McKenzie Leave a Comment

Ever wonder what the best facial cleansing wipes are? Do you find yourself searching online for reviews of different products and wish you could just find a friend who had tried a whole bunch of products that could compare them all of you? Well, you are in luck because I am going to be THAT friend for you! I am SO excited to announce a new series I am bringing you… Battle of the Brands! I will be coming once a month with a category and will be testing several brands of that product. Some of them you can look forward to seeing in the future include drugstore foundation, mascara, long wear lipstick, and concealer. To kick things off, I tested facial cleansing wipes!

Facial Cleansing Wipes Reviews

So, how does it work? I came up with my own little scoring system to grade each of the facial cleansing wipes on more than me just saying, “This one was good” or “This one was no good”. I tested [Read more…]

Poop Emoji Hairstyle for Crazy Hair Day

January 31, 2018 By McKenzie Leave a Comment

If your kids are anything like my daughter, they are probably obsessed with all things emoji! We have emoji stickers, pencils, keychains, etc. They are slowly taking over the house! That is why, when it came time to creating the perfect Crazy Hair Day hairstyle, we knew there was basically only one real option… a POOP EMOJI!

This hairstyle was a huge hit! There wasn’t anyone else in the school with the same hairstyle and she absolutely loved it. I don’t think there is more we could have asked for! I think one of my favorite parts though, was just how easy this hairstyle was to make. We weren’t slaving away, putting hundreds of elastics or braids all over her head. This hairstyle was simple, just the way we like it!

To create your own Poop Emoji hairstyle, you will need… [Read more…]

Glam Fall Makeup Look

November 21, 2017 By McKenzie 1 Comment

This shop has been compensated by ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses and Collective Bias, Inc. All opinions are mine alone. #TreatYourEyes2 #TreatYourEyes #CollectiveBias

I love making my makeup a little more moody as the seasons change. After a summer full of light and airy makeup, I am ready to bring on the rich colors of Fall. This glam Fall makeup look can easily be worn as an everyday look if it is paired with a little less dramatic lip color and looks fantastic for a night out with an even more dramatic lip color! I love how regal it feels, without being over the top and difficult to recreate.

When I do my makeup like this and really try to focus on my eye makeup, it is important that I wear contacts. I have experienced doing my makeup in the past, only to have to wear my glasses and it just kind of takes away the effect! I find my ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses just as important in my beauty routine as my actual beauty products. I have absolutely loved these ACUVUE® VITA® Brand Contact lenses that were so highly recommended to me during my Target Optical® visit.

To create this eye makeup look, I used one eyeshadow palette with many neutral options. I love having a palette like this because I can find every color I need in one place. I also used a liquid eyeliner pen and volumizing mascara. [Read more…]

Vanilla Mint Sugar Scrub

I absolutely love how my skin feels when I am exfoliating regularly. It leaves skin feeling baby soft! I used to buy different scrubs to use in the shower, but they can be quite expensive. The good news is that making your own scrub costs very little and takes less than 15 minutes. It is a major win! I love making different varieties to try, but I also love making them to give as gifts! This vanilla mint sugar scrub is one of my favorite scrubs to make. The scent is really soothing and delicious!

To make your own, you need… [Read more…]
