MAC Cosmetics was the first “real” makeup I ever bought. I was preparing for the Miss Missouri pageant (back in the early 2000’s) and knew nothing about stage makeup. Of course the products I bought back then are completely impractical for every day wear. However, it began a life long love affair. Not just with …
Of course, as you already know, I wait all year for Holiday beauty launches. In fact, it’s practically my Super Bowl. (Although, with J.Lo scheduled to perform the half-time show at the real Super Bowl, I’ll actually watch it this year – you know she’s going to look amazing.) Anyway, back to the topic at …
One of my favorite things about Sephora is that they make it so easy for you to try new things. Of course one of the easiest ways to try new things is with samples and travel size products. But what if you don’t know where to start? That’s where the Sephora Favorites Kits come in …

Of course it’s inevitable that holiday makeup collections are my favorite. With that being said, MAC Shiny …
One of my favorite things about the holidays is trying new recipes for my friends and family. Since presentation is everything at parties, this Christmas Sangria cocktail recipe is always a hit. It’s a light refreshing cocktail garnished with apples, cranberries, and rosemary. Plus, it includes all of the best flavors of the season! In …
I have a really large family. On my mom’s side, I am the fourth oldest of 16 grandkids. Needless to say, family events are madness. I remember being at my grandma’s house for Christmas Eve as a little girl. She always had a stocking for each of us grandkids hanging on her mantle. Eventually, the …
