I’m jetting off to London & Paris tomorrow, I am so excited. I haven’t been since 2012 when we got engaged 🙂 Make sure you’re keeping up with me on Instagram & Snapchat to get a peek into my travels! I’m going to be prefilming/editing two New Years Eve tutorials today to post while I’m away so be sure to let me know what kind of looks you’re hoping to see – I’m still brainstorming what to film!
Today I have a tutorial for you on how to create this heavy glam smokey eye perfect for the holidays! I used scotch tape to create wings with my black eyeshadow so I ditched the gel liner all together in this look and I think it’s quite pretty!
Ahhh finally a new tutorial!!! OMG the past several weeks have been absolutely insane, I dont even remember the last time I was in town for two weeks straight. I’m currently on my way home from Mexico and I just have one more weekend of travels until I can just be HOME for the holidays and New Year. Last week I was in Long Beach for the weekend judging Miss California Teen USA and to say it was intense is an understatement. So many girls compete in the state of California that it’s seriously more competitive than Miss USA. I had my camera rolling while I got ready so I could put together a GRWM for you guys but my lighting was a bit off (when isn’t it in hotel rooms?!) so I recreated the look at home. I hope you guys love it! A huge thank you to SimplyDresses.com for my gorgeous Sherri Hill dress, I’ve seriously had my eye on it since Olivia Culpo’s reign as Miss Universe in 2012 lol!
Nosebleeds, eczema, itchy, scaly skin.. the reasons why I’ve always kept a humidifier in my bedroom since childhood are endless; but I could never tell if the air in my bedroom actually felt different than the rest of the house. Sometimes I felt like I had to have it blasting directly on my face in order to feel the hydrating comfort on my skin, eyes, and nose – but who wants to wake up clammy and damp?! I recently set up my new Dyson Humidifier on my nightstand and not only does it not leave a 2 foot radius of damp everything, its Multiplier technology keeps the mist evenly distributed throughout the room. The air in my room finally feels different than the rest of the house and I’m loving this humidifier as an addition to my beauty routine. Yes, beauty routine! I’ve recently gotten much more into skincare, I always say that I wish I began sooner in my 20s but.. better late than never! My skin right now is the best its looked post-puberty so I’ll happily choose this 29 year old face over my 22 year old previous face haha. Your skin rejuvenates and repairs itself while you sleep and a young looking face is a well hydrated face. So while my skin is soaking up all the oils and creams I slather on before bed, the water I gulp down before I shut the lights off, I now know that my skin is also drinking up the water in the air thanks to my Dyson humidifier. As I mentioned earlier, the moisture is distributed evenly throughout the room and with its Intelligent Climate Control it measures both the temperature and moisture in the air to create a comfortable environment, never over-humidified. Although this appliance was a winter addition to my home, it has dual functionality for year round use – delivering hygienic and even humidification in the winter and cooling air for the summer.
I’m at that stage in my life where we are beginning to plan for a family, and although I am not expecting, I am forever making mental-mommy notes. Aside from all of the beauty and comfort benefits of having a Dyson Humidifier in the room, its a very healthy addition as well. This humidifier uses Ultraviolet Cleanse Technology to kill 99.9% of bacteria in the water releasing hygienic mist and hydrated air into the room. Every single drop of water is exposed to a UVC light upon turning on the machine – it takes about three minutes before it begins to humidify. The amount of bacteria and yuckies that can grow in sitting water is a scary thing that becomes more alarming when babies are in the picture. This humidifier and its hygienic mist is definitely going to be staying with us as our family begins to grow – so although it is a pricy piece, its longevity and health benefits are worth the price tag IMO.
It retails for $499 but I found it on sale on Amazon for $479 HERE!
