My Hello Kitty Bag and its Many Things!

I often switch out my handbags depending on the season and the mood. While I don't tend to carry a whole lot of stuff (the vast majority I ever carry would be Bear's iPad, which is not currently pictured), I thought it would be fun to show y'all what's usually in my bag. Let's go! Let's start with the obvious - Hello Kitty by Loungefly Maks gifted me this handbag

These Products Will Help You Have a Hot Mom Summer

Rapper Meg Thee Stallion coined the phrase, 'Hot Girl Summer' and it's 2019's new slang phrase like "bling" was back in the early 2000s. I'm personally glad people have started to retire lit because some of y'all weren't even saying it right. https://media.giphy.com/media/3oAt2dA6LxMkRrGc0g/giphy.gif Anyway, this post is how to have a Hot Mom Summer. The products I'm recommending are affordable (and a few are FREE!) and it'll just give you

Can You Be In the Nude?

As I've been experimenting more with my lips, I found that I have a small penchant for the nude lippy. The barely-there-but-we-can-all-tell-you're-wearing-something-on-your- lips-and-OMG-I-so-want-that-look color. So, there are three nude-ish colors in my arsenal that I like.

How Giving Fantastic Lip Will Change Your Life!

This past weekend, I decided to play with my makeup a tad. So let's start off with the first product review, which is the Raizin blush by MAC. Now, I've never really been partial to blushes.
