I have blonde eyelashes, blonde eyebrows, and blonde arm hair. In fact, I have had multiple people ask if I dye my hair because it is so dark in comparison - I don't ;) I've been a brunette since I was born! I also have short eyelashes and pretty much rely on mascara to look like I am not sick. When I heard about eyelash extensions, I was super intrigued. I'll be honest. I was also pretty terrified because I have totally tried to put on fake lashes before and they were the worst - I just ... continue reading...
A Day in Denver
For my birthday my wonderful husband took me to Denver for the day. Denver is only an hour & a half away from the Springs but we don't often make the journey up there.

I texted all my friends in a panic to make sure I wasn't going to lose followers with the new way I started editing my pictures. It sounds a bit crazy right?! But maybe next time you find yourself in a similar situation you ... continue reading...
Revealing Your Summer Skin
Thank you Pure Silk for sponsoring this post! Summer. The word alone carries magical feelings. Tropical vibes, sun-kissed skin, palm trees, juicy pineapple, music, and coconut everything. It makes you want to plan all the vacations, backyard picnics, BBQs, and weekend adventures. While travel may not be huge on our list this year (we're saving money for other things... ugh ;) ) both Bruce and I are summer junkies. We love the long days, warmer evenings, wearing shorts, and outdoor ... continue reading...
