Happy Planniversary!

Hey guys I've been planning in my Erin Condren horizontal planner for a full year, it's so crazy to me how quickly this time has passed. I am still as obsessed with my planner as the first day I got it. Today I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite spreads.

Let me start with a layout I did l year ago July 2015

I love camping and this was such a fun layout for me. There wasn't too much planning

going on so that is why I didn't mind taking up so much space. 

Next up is this adorable Pirate theme!  

August 2015

Can you tell that I love themes? Every Month has a theme

January 2016

we have this adorable Eskimo theme layout.

Let's move to March of 2016

I bet you can't guess what this theme is huh?! LOL

 Fast forward to April 2016

I "had" to create a Game of Thrones layout!

It is my favorite show ever!

Can you guess who my favorite character is?

May 2016

I can't get over how darling this turned out.

It reminds me of when my son was just a wee little thing and he loved dinosaur's. 

This turned out even better than I envisioned it.

June 2016

This was such a cute layout in honor of my nieces 6th birthday.

This was a princess/fairy tale theme.

Last but certainly not least 

Another June 2016 layout.

I had to include my first week of summer layout.

I mean how precious is this?

I continue to create fun pages in my planner. I truly do enjoy it so much. I love "me time" and time to unwind and get creative. 

Thank you for following me, for stopping by and let me know if you have any different planner or layouts that you like sharing.

Much Love,

Next up is my new favorite drug store liquid lipstick. It's the Milani Amore Matte Lip Creme in 15Gorgeous

I did an entire post on this, click here to check it out. This is a MUST have product in everyone's collection. I can't wait to buy the other colors.

Next up is another Milani product. It's the single eye shadow in Bella Taupe

Not only is this a beautiful eye shadow, it is my perfect eyebrow color. I have been using this for filling in my eyebrows and it's perfection. I love everything about this. Don't you guys love finding a product great for multi-tasking?
This retails for $4.19 0.05oz of product.

Last up is the Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow/Ombre in Not just nudes

This is by no means a new product but now with the hotter months I have pulled it out as a light wash on the eyelids and I love it. I do usually set it with a similar shadow color, I use it more as a base and it's perfection.  This retails for $5.99 0.12 oz of product.

Ok guys that covers all of my favorites for the month. As usual if you have monthly favorites of your own please share them with me. I'd love to check them out.

Have a fantastic week,

Plan with me June 2016 (weekly layouts)

Hey guys, hope you are all doing fabulous. Today I get to share my weekly layouts for my Erin Condren planner. As usual these are all pre-pen and strictly decorated pages. I love the summer time as I clearly stated in my Summer Bucketlist post, so yeah these pages are super fun and cute.

Let's get started.

For the first week I did a fun Lemon/Citrus layout. 

I love bright fun layouts like this. The flags are used to track my steps just in case you all wondered.

The stickers came from several different random sticker books purchased from Michael's.

Doesn't it make you want a nice cold cup of lemonade?

The cute weekend banner was purchased from Etsy.

The shops name is Sticker Pixie.

Next up I did a Lego layout

 A little fun fact about myself is that I love legos!

This was such a fun layout to play with.

The main reason I decided to use this was because my son was out for the summer this week,

he doesn't actually play with lego's anymore but who cares right? It turned out fun.

Before I forget to mention it, this kit was purchased from etsy and the etsy shop is called

PeggyDalle

Next up was the cutest layout of life...ha ha

This was a fun princess layout I did in honor of my nieces 6th birthday.

Her birthday was on June 13th hence the overload decor on that day.

All of these stickers were from a sticker book I bought at Michael's, aren't they SO darling?

The weekend banner was from Etsy and the shops name is Sticker Pixie.

The last-ish week of the month is SO stinking cute!

 June 20th was the official first day of summer!

I absolutely LOVE this layout.

These darling stickers were from Dollar Tree, not kidding guys! 

I highly recommend checking out their stickers, sometimes you can get pretty 

cool ones. 

The anchor washi is from Target

the cute heart check marks are from Etsy shop 

My Queen Bee Designs 

and the weekend banner from Etsy shop

Sticker Pixie.

Last fun fact is that this Sunday 6/26 starts Shark week!

I added the little shark on the bottom to represent that.

Thank you so much for stopping by. I love decorating my planner and showing it to you guys, I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. 

Much Love,

Milani Lip Creme Liquid Lipsticks

Hello loves, I wanted to wish you all a first day of Summer!
I wanted to share that I have recently discovered my absolutely favorite drugstore liquid lipstick.

They are the Milani Liquid Lipsticks!
They are only $8.990.21 oz/6g

Description:
It’s time to put your lipsticks on notice. The Amore Matte Lip Crème has arrived. This revolutionary, highly saturated liquid-to-matte formula dries to a soft, velvety finish for fuller-looking lips. Its double-sided, flexible plush applicator hugs the contours of lips, working to lock in bold, opaque color. Non-sticky, smooth and ready for all-night wear (up to 16 hours!) our Amore Matte Lip Crème is the ultimate transfer resistant kiss-me-matte.

They come in 18 different shades

I need to get so many of the other shades because guys I am highly obsessed with the one I purchased. I got the color 15 Gorgeous. It lasted ALL day even after eating. I can honestly tell you that they have a similar texture to the Ofra liquid lipsticks or the Stila ones. Creamy and glide on so beautifully!

Here is a pic of me wearing it.

I can not recommend it enough guys! check it out!
Thanks for stopping by!

Summer Bucket List

Hey guys I LOVE summer so I wanted to share my Summer Bucket list with you guys. I encourage you to do one for yourself. This thought makes me super happy and excited for all of the possibilities.

I am extremely excited to get all of these checked off this summer! I encourage you all to get outside and have fun! 

Thank you for joining me today on my super short yet exciting post! 

                                                                        Much Love,

Body Image and Self Esteem, Love yourself!

Ok ladies it's mostly fun topics in my blog usually but today we are going to have a serious conversation. Today's topic is not a fun one at all, and most of us suffer from it in one form or another.


In my opinion Body Image and Self Esteem go hand in hand.

We are an extremely Image based society, everyone is always trying to fit this "perfect body" mold.
But It shouldn't be that way at all. We should all love who and how we are as long as we are healthy.

I think that we need to embrace who we are and I myself need to remind myself of this very thing. I know more than anyone that it's easier said than done. I can't say that I fully love every aspect of myself but I am trying to and I'd love you all to do the same with yourselves.

Let's acknowledge what we love about ourselves and play on our strengths not weakness's!

This topic is so touchy because no body is perfect but society has this idea of what we should look like or strive to look like, but I think that we are all beautiful in our own way! Let's uplift each other not tear each other down; or allow anyone else to!

This doesn't mean you can't improve yourself it just means that you have to be reasonable and do anything to improve yourself for YOURSELF nobody else.

My entire life I was made fun of because of the size of my nose, I could have gotten a nose job, still can but the older I get the more I realize that it's a part of what makes me, me. Until I met my husband who actually likes my nose, I heard nothing but offensive and mean comments over it.
I can't actually say that I love it, but I am certainly trying to embrace that it's a part of me.

I will leave you with one last statement

be.YOU.tiful

Much Love,

Plan with Me Monthly Layout June 2016

Hey guys so today I want to share as usual my pre-pen Monthly layout for June 2016.

This layout was made in honor of Father's Day. 

In my opinion it's very blah but you know what I wanted to honor

all the great dads out there. I know my husband is an excellent father.

On the 13th I have that banner representing my nieces 6th birthday. I love that little munchkin!

On the 19th is Father's Day and the 20th is the first official day of summer.

On the 25th is the one year anniversary of the death of my uncle. You can see the post I wrote

for him last year, by clicking here.

I love the quote on this page.

"It's better to know and be dissapointed than never know and always wonder."

I really like the mustache washi, I got this as a part of a set at Target. I also really like the Key washi and the bike washi is fun since a lot of dads teach their kids to ride or to represent the start of summer.  

There you have it. Thank you for stopping by and have a fabulous rest of your week/weekend!

Summer Palette Makeup Challange First 10 Days

Hello my amazing friends. Today I have a fun post to share. 

So my friend Becci has probably the worst makeup obsession of anyone I personally know♥. 

She came up with this idea, she suggested that we use ALL of our palettes during the summer. 

Be it high end or drug store palettes, single eye shadows, z-palettes you name it but to use them all.

A lot of us purchase makeup and they sit in our beauty areas collecting dust. 

I loved the idea so much that I was like YES let's do it. 

To clarify these aren't makeup looks that are revolutionary, it's more of a fun way to use what we already own. 

Another thing she threw out there is to use a different lip product as well because I'm sure there are a lot of lip junkies out there too.

 Since neither of us wear makeup every day, we just count them based on the days that we do wear makeup.

Ok it time to share my makeup looks and products.

Day 1

I used my Lorac Mint Edition Palette 

one of the first palette's I ever purchased. 

It was a fun spring super easy eye look.

The lipstick I paired it with was the Too Faced Melted Peony.

I really love how this turned out!

Day2 

On this day I was in a huge hurry, we were running late for a movie so this 

this was a quick out the door look. 

I used the Meet Matt(e) Nude by the Balm

paired with Stila Como liquid lipstick.

This is a fun bright look and this palette is an oldie but a goodie.
I really really like the eye shadow look, it's so out of my norm.

Day 3

On this day I did another quick day time look, I had a funeral to attend and

didn't want any crazy eye shadow look.

I used the Coastal Scents Revealed 2 Palette

paired with the Rimmel Kate Rosetto Rouge 14

(side note this was the lipstick I wore on my wedding day in Hawaii)

Very simplistic yet cute.
(shed a lot of tears this day, thank goodness for waterproof mascara)

Day 4

On this day I wore my bhCosmetics It's Judy Time Palette

paired with my MAC Velvet Teddy lipstick

I loved this look so much that I used it as my Facebook profile pic.

Day 5

On this day I wore the Tarte Amazonian Clay Collector's Palette

accompanied by my Colourpop Lippie Stick in Lumiere.

This was a fun look. My falsies added so much to this look.

Day 6

On this day I used my NYX The Go to Palette in La Palette Indispensable

paired with a Hard Candy lipstick in Nudist 1066.

I had to go into the office this day, so it was a very neutral everyday look.

Day 7

On this day I wore the Hard Candy Natural Eyes Neutral Eyeshadow Palette

paired with my Pacifica Tender Heart lip stick.

This inexpensive palette is very versatile and I highly recommend it. 

I love the lipstick SO much too but hate the smell.

Day 8

On this day I got SO many compliments, it was another day in the office.

For those of you wondering I usually work from home but occasionally have to go into the office.

This day I wore the L'Oreal La Palette Nude1

paired with another Colourpop Lippie Stick in Brink

I think the green shirt I wore made a difference in the look, who knows.

Day 9

On this day I wore one of my favorite palette's It's the

Anastasia Beverly Hills Self-Made Palette

Paired with a super sheer Benefit's Coralista Lip Gloss

This is very much a "me" look, warm and beautiful

I honestly think this is my favorite look out of all of the days!

Day 10 

You made it to the end!!!

On this day I used my Coastal Scents 26 Shadow Blush Palette

paired with my MAC Creme De La Femme lipstick.

This was by far the most dramatic smokey eye I did out of all of the days.

I hope you aren't sick of staring at my mug...ha ha ha

I just wanted to thank Becci for inspiring me and 

giving me a reason to use a lot of my older palette's. 

There will be more so stay tuned.

I encourage you to use your makeup and share them with us. I'd love to check it out.

Thank you SO SO MUCH for your continued support.

Much Love,
