Blonde Basics!

This post is for a special gal who just needs a little makeup guidance!

Being a girl definitely has its ups and downs but the best part, in my opinion, is getting all glammed up and feeling gorgeous! A sweet friend of mine wanted to know what essentials are needed to achieve a basic everyday look that is simple and won't break the bank but leaves you looking like a million bucks! I got ya girl!!

My face essentials are also posted in this post but here's the nitty gritty! First off, get yourself a beauty blender! These things are definitely worth the buzz! To use, wet (yes, I said wet as in water!) the blender. This provides a smooth look, so get that thing under the water and squeeze! Then apply your foundation on the largest end for an all over face application and, if needed, apply to the narrow end to get in the smallest spaces like inner eye and around your nose.
e.l.f Beauty Blender $5.00

Gives you a smoother look
Another girl must have is a really good palette! For my everyday look, I currently use another e.l.f product! It is a contouring palette as well as their blush palette. So, something I had to learn was where to put what color in the contour palette. I use this diagram via the amazing Pinterest!

e.l.f $6.00





















e.l.f $6.00
After I apply each of these, I blend all over with an all over face brush. Then, I top it all off setting powder and a setting spray for a smooth finish and all day wear!!
Maybelline $9.00
Maybelline $12.99
















All these products are the perfect face base! Make sure they're applied with the necessary tools to get the best look!
Ignore my ridiculous look, lol, this is the all over face brush from e.l.f

Highlight applied with a bronzer brush
Hopefully all this helps for the beginner face kit! I will be following this with the basics for your eyes!! My goal for anyone who reads this is that they feel beautiful inside and out! I love makeup and feeling absolutely gorgeous after it on! You do not need makeup to feel beautiful, but sometimes it helps!

I'm Made of Glitter, Water, and Anxiety

So over the last few years I have struggled with admitting and treating my own personal demon of anxiety. I have many friends who have a similar struggle and agree that prior to becoming it's prey, we thought anxiety was a total joke. I mean, when I would witness an anxiety attack I would just think, 'come on, pull it together sister!'. But now that I tend to deal with it on the daily, it is a very real monster. To have your own brain betray you as such is a difficult thing to grasp. Going from a perfectly rational person to trying to prevent anything and everything that could possibly happen, you look at yourself and think 'jeez! What a nutcase!'. Treating my anxiety wasn't an easy task, especially since I began treating mine at the end of a relationship and while being completely alone. It was a daily struggle and I really didn't feel like anyone would understand without being judgemental. I also used substances as my release, we all know I love my wine....

Tropic Like it's Hot!

Oh Florida summers... Goodness, is it hot?! Growing up in Fort Myers, you lived for Disney Original Movie marathons, ice cream, pool day and that rainy 3pm nap. That was life for us! After living in Central Florida for a little bit, I will say there is no better cure my Summer woes except for being in Fort Myers. Don't get me wrong, Mt Dora was beautiful but there is just something about my hometown! This week was the second at the new dermatology job, I'm slowly but surely learning the lingo. I have been in the medical field 10 years, but this specialty has a language all it's own! It's hard to keep your confidence, this position is more hands on involving anesthesia and sutures, but I'll get there! I will say though, I truly despise being the "new girl". Everyone asks the same question, patients and peers are a tad nervous since you're a stranger and all they have to go off of for your experience is your word. It's intimidating but adds to ...

We Don't Talk About That...

Mental health has never been a "hot topic" or a common dinner conversation, it is usually dusted under the rug and left to fester til another day. Honestly, I'm writing this for my own mental health, rather my sanity. Since this virus took over our lives, being forced to live completely out of the norm has made mental health become a little bit more of a subject but not by much. Being bored and forced to be in the same house almost 24/7 can cause you to focus on things you wouldn't normally think about. This is also true for myself. Up until now, I haven't really discussed with anyone but close friends and family what I have struggled with for a long time. To me, you talk about it and everyone will think you're looney. Well, I'm over it and tired of hiding it so here goes! When I lived in Orlando, I had extremely high anxiety for the first time. I was basically alone full time miles away from my hometown. I tried so desperately to avoid facing what I...
