I’ve never been a makeup guru, but I’ve always wanted to perfect a smokey eye look. It’s a great look this time of year for holiday parties…something more dramatic than your standard 9-5 makeup look. To attempt my look, I tried the Holiday Smokey Eye Palette from Studio Gear (currently on sale for $25). I […]

This oncoming week is going to be a busy one…I will be in 4 different states! On Monday, I head out to NYC for work. It’s my first time ever in the Big Apple! EEE! After that, I will be back home to Illinois for a day or so, then the hubs and I are […]
Since I am a budgeting blogger when it comes to clothing, I was intrigued when Rachel of Suburban Style Challenge passed along an opportunity to head to a sneak peek event before the grand opening of a Savers thrift store. I jumped at it and was curious to see what a Savers store was all […]
Brrr it’s cold outside! Our first snowfall was on Monday and the temperature is dropping FAST. Such a difference from the lovely weather on Saturday during our Champagne & Chocolate Crawl (which was heaven, by the way.
