The last weekend of Coachella is here and this time around I decided to create a makeup look that's a bit more vibrant and bold with a pop of yellow. Last week I created a makeup look that was more neutral with tons of glow and sparkle [see last weeks look]. This week I wanted to do the complete opposite from my previous makeup tutorial so I kept the entire look matte. Below is the full list of products used on the eyes to get this fun and colorful makeup look.

Be sure to watch the makeup tutorial linked above to see step-by-step instructions on how to achieve this fun festival makeup! Side note: it's a lot easier than it looks. 😉 If you'd like to see more of my videos, subscribe to my channel I put out new videos every week.

I think a more personal post is long overdue on the blog so, today I want to share the jewelry I can't live without and why these pieces mean so much to me. I'd love to know, do you own any jewelry that you hold very near and dear to your heart?

Starting with an obvious jewelry piece that I treasure more than anything, my wedding ring, which you'll see glimpses of throughout my Instagram feed. I think my husband did an incredible job selecting the ring, as I find it to be breathtakingly beautiful. He did the ring shopping all on his own [well, with the help of his friend, Sean] and I'm honestly glad he did because if it were up to me to pick a ring I'd never choose one since I'm so indecisive. I had no idea he was planning on popping the question so to say it took me by surprise is an understatement.

Another ring I wear almost daily is my infinity ring. My sisters and I all have the same ring and to me it represents our bond and infinite love that we have for one another.

These last jewelry pieces are ones you'll never see me without and they're my two favorite cuff bracelets. One is a constant reminder to have courage and be kind. I think it's always important to be kind to yourself and others, while being courageous is a trait that I try my best to embody. We all know life can sometimes get us down and we need to have the courage to get through those tough times and this bracelet reminds me of that. The second cuff says 'Do It Anyway' which for me means to not let my fears and anxieties stop me from doing what I love. As someone whose dealt with anxiety since childhood, I've let it get in the way of living my life and experiencing so many things. When I catch myself in those moments of doubt and anxiousness I look down at my wrist and think to myself "just do it anyway" despite my fears. I'm not saying it's a miracle worker but it definitely helps.

I know I don't share too much of my personal life online but, I just felt like sharing something personal with you. I hope you learned something new about me in todays blog post and thank you for taking the time to read this. Until next time friends, take care!

"Thrift shops are my favorite places for inspiration, you never know what you're going to find. It's a treasure hunt." - Paul Octavious 

I'd been wanting a denim skirt for such a long time and I'm so glad I found one that day. Best of all - it was under $5! You think that's a steal? I also found two vintage belts for a dollar each. I've seen vintage belts like these on my favorite style bloggers as they're super trendy at the moment.

When it came to styling the pieces I'd found I chose to style the denim skirt two ways: with over-the-knee boots for colder days and with ankle booties for warmer days. The great thing about this skirt is that I can wear it year round which makes me want Spring and Summer to come around even more!


I'm so happy with what I found on this trip to the thrift store. This isn't the last time you'll see these pieces in action, haha. I'll of course be sharing all future OOTDs over on my Instagram and here on my blog when I post my monthly Instagram OOTD Round Ups.

Thank you for reading todays blog post. Until next time friends, take care!
