Girl Where Have You Been & Sephora Sale Splurge | Life Lately

What a ride. I’ve been very fortunate in my relatively short life to have a strong immune system and very, very few health problems but April just knocked me on my butt.  The month started with a sore throat that I immediately chalked up to allergies.  After a few days of no relief, I finally headed to the doctor who gave me a strep test and prescription for an antibiotic.  I’d never had strep before but expected the virus to get knocked out in about 72 hours.  Six days in, I had an allergic reaction to my antibiotic.  A quick trip to the doctor confirmed that I did have strep throat, but also had picked up mono.

I really didn’t know much about mono before last week, but can say that the depleted energy is a tough cookie.  Taking four or five naps a day shouldn’t be physically possible and yet, I’ve been overachieving in the department for three weeks now.  I’m feeling VERY lucky that I’m recovering and feeling better and definitely won’t be taking my good health for granted in the future, phew.

It’s not a secret: I love makeup.  I’m lucky to get to try out a lot of new products through both collaborations and public relation samples that I receive.  It’s been awhile but my spring beauty finds are pretty good and a couple may save you a few bucks!

‘It’s Poppin’: Urban Decay Lipgloss First Impressions

March 15, 2018

Lord knows I love changing up my lip color; for me, makeup choices, especially, lips is another way to accessorize.  Being that lip products are my favorite, I was super excited when Urban Decay sent me all of the shades of their new Hi-Fi Shine Ultra Cushion Lipgloss.  {Yes, all of them!}  Seeing as this is a new product, I thought it would be fun to share my first impressions and a makeup look featuring the Urban Decay lipgloss.

March Madness & Magazines: Life Lately & Monday Musings

March 12, 2018

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks both professionally and personally. I’ve tried a couple times now to sit down and write about real life for Friday Favorites and admittedly kept putting it off. Honestly, I didn’t feel like I had a grasp on my feelings and I haaaaate putting pen to paper, metaphorically speaking, before I’ve fully grasped on everything. Keep reading today’s Monday Musings for more behind the scenes and some personal talk.

I’ve gotten a TON of new makeup in the past month or so and in an effort to prepare for a big beauty post, I’ve been digging through old favorites and working my way through a ton of new products. I’m due to write a “new beauty” type post to review some new items, but I’ve been thinking about writing a post about destashing and some of the products I haven’t loved. What do y’all think?
