HOW TO BUILD A PERFECT PINTEREST-INSPIRED WARDROBE

I'm always keeping an eye out for how-tos on building a Pinterest Wardrobe - you know, the wardrobe that says that "I didn't really try, but somehow I found myself looking fabulous." Unfortunately I've never quite found the how-to that I've been searching for, so I finally decided, gal darn it, I'm going to make it myself! What I've noticed over the years of browsing Pinterest is that fashionable gals have a few things in common - they tend to pick staple pieces that can be paired with anything, they stick to a lot of monochromatics (often adding colour with accessories), they layer their clothing nicely (longer t-shirts peeking out from knit sweaters) and they look primarily for fairly simplistic clothing with beautiful cuts. So I've assembled a wardrobe that hopefully achieves just that.

8 UNDERDOG MAKEUP PRODUCTS

The great thing about working in the beauty industry is that I get to try out a ton of makeup. There are some fantastic products out there that receive major hype through the blogging and Youtube community. But I want to forget about those products today.

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BUILDING YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE

I've got a whopper of a post for you today. It struck me the other day that I hadn't yet written a comprehensive guide to building your own skincare routine. I've done posts on specific skincare woes, but I wanted to create a place that had it all. So here's how I'm breaking it down. I'm creating categories for common skincare struggles. I'll explain a little bit about how I would address each struggle (keeping in mind that I'm not a trained aesthetician – I've simply done a fair bit of research into skincare) and then I'll build a few shoppable potential routines for each category.

10 IDEAS FOR A HAPPIER, HEALTHIER 2016

A new year comes along and we all make a resolution. This year, however, I don't have one firm goal. Rather, I'd like to make a conscious effort to become a more well-rounded human being. I have a tendency to take the easy way out – watch trash television, sit in front of my computer, stay home and do the same old thing. Don't get me wrong, I think we all deserve a bit of comfort, but this year I want to push myself to do more and I'm sure a lot of you guys feel the same way. After all, there's a whole world out there for the taking. So here are some ideas for growing yourself as a person.

THE BEAUTY LOVER TAG

I felt like doing something different today. I wanted to make up a tag (God I'm weak for a good pun). I'm sure this exact tag has been done before, but screw it. We're making it our own! I thought it'd be fun to create 10 beauty questions and rally you all to join in. I've given you my answers, but I want to hear yours too! Here goes.
