How to Have a Unique Bourbon Trail Experience

Happy Wednesday!  This week has been FLYING by for me; today I’m sharing what I wore to an event I attended two weeks ago at Jeptha Creed.  I get a lot of questions from readers about Louisville and Kentucky in general and wanted to share the unique Bourbon Trail experience that Jeptha Creed allowed me to have as well as what I wore!

Is BoxyCharm Worth the Hype? Plus New Product Thoughts

Hi gang! Coming at you with a brand new post today all about the latest beauty products I’ve been trying out.  This includes a new to me subscription box, BoxyCharm!  I just received my July box last week so I haven’t truly had a chance to try out all of those products but wanted to review the June box and share my overall thoughts.  I also have a few other new beauty products I’ve been testing to review so keep reading.

Is BoxyCharm Worth the Hype? Plus New Product Thoughts | What Is BoxyCharm?

BoxyCharm is a monthly beauty subscription box that includes 4-5 full size beauty items valued to be at least $100.  The monthly box costs $21, although signing up for 3-12 month subscription will drop the cost a bit.  Beauty subscription boxes definitely are not a new concept but this is the first one I’ve ever received.  In the past, I’ve always worried that I wouldn’t love everything in a beauty box and that it would end up being cheaper to just directly purchase beauty products that I was interested in.

BoxyCharm was a subscription box I knew about through beauty YouTubers that I follow so I was pretty excited to receive my first box.

4 Things I Learned About Life at Sigma Kappa Convention

Hi friends! Last week I headed to Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida for my sorority’s national convention.  This was my first time attending and I was completely unsure of what to expect.  Would I learn a lot? Would I meet people? I’m so happy to share that I’m very glad I went and left the long weekend feeling inspired AF. While I had tons of takeaways from Sigma Kappa convention that were relevant beyond my volunteer role, I wanted to share four that I think all of us can use.

Let me know what you think of the new Friday Favorites format, it’s definitely more work so if it’s not something that y’all love, tell me!

Best of Trader Joe’s: Haul, Reader Favorites, & Lunch Ideas

Last week I made a very rare Trader Joe’s run which resulted in me getting SO many suggestions of what to buy. I asked and you all said that you wanted to see a round up of what I bought, the suggested reader favorites, plus a couple of easy lunch ideas that I whipped up with my Trader Joe’s haul. After my last trip, I’m definitely thinking that Trader Joe’s needs to be a more regular stop for me.
