Signed, Sealed, Delivered

I may be old fashioned, but I still find excitement in receiving cards and notes in the mailbox. While browsing on Etsy, I found the cutest personalized return label stamps from '2impress'. These stamps will definitely add your own touch of uniqueness on the traditional white envelope.

Spring Fling






Although we're still in the middle of winter, your closet may already be seeing some new spring additions. I'm absolutely loving the bright colors that this upcoming season brings, and have already started a list of must haves. J Crew is my first stop!

Horse Power

With being in the cold winter months, even your nails need some extra TLC. A couple of posts ago I declared my obsession for nail polish. That is why this next product I discovered will be hard for me to follow through with - but I think it will be worth it. Butter London's Horsepower is a nail fertilizer; with powerful nutrients and high in silica, this clear polish claims to show results in a month. Instructions say to apply one coat onto clean, dry nails. Reapply daily for a week; remove on the 7th day, and start the process over again. I will struggle to keep my nails colorless for a month; but in the name of research, this is something I'm willing to try :)

Organizational Love

We all know recycling is extremely important; but when you can reuse an item and it can organize your make-up, it just doesn't get any better. I always have a candle lit - but what do you do with the jars after the candle is burned out? Don't throw them away! Instead, clean the jar with hot water and soap; they might need to soak for some time, seeing as wax isn't so easy to remove. You now have clean, simple jars for any organizational needs. I used my medium sized jar for eyeliners, mascara, make-up brushes and tweezers, the large jar to hold hair products and the small jar to hold bobby pins. This solution satisfies my overabundance of make-up and slight OCD issue.

Nailing It

Nail polish has become an obsession of mine for the past year now. Along with giving your overall appearance a boost; I believe colors reflect your mood, style and personality. I have quite the collection as of right now, but I always look for new colors and trends that come with each season. I have some staple colors that I always resort to. I'm a sucker for colors that will go with almost anything; pale pink, classic red and perfect plum are the three colors I have many shades and variations of. I've included some of my favorites below. Do you have a favorite polish that you will always stick with?
