Good morning!! Fall has officially hit Columbus. The weather is perfection and I lit my first pumpkin scented candle, so that pretty much makes it official. Here are a couple of things that are must have items in my bag for the fall transition!

  1. This has become an essential. My legs are not doing so hot and need pretty much all the support they can get. And I hear this is pretty great for after the baby too?
  2. It is my mission to stay healthy this season. Already at school we have had projectile vomitters, sneezing galore, and plowed through most of our tissues. Plus, I nanny for two little ones who seem to always have sticky hands. Always. These handy little wipes are amazing–and cute to boot!
  3. I cannot say enough about this planner. Apparently everyone else feels the same way too, because it is sold out everywhere!
  4. I got hooked on Lara Bars when I was doing Whole30 and now I never leave the house without one stashed in my bag. Can’t wait for the release of the seasonal flavors!
  5. In the spring and summer, I wear Wild Bluebell by Jo Malone or Kate Spade Live Colorfully, but once fall hits, I switch over to my absolute favorite perfume of all time: Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb. The scent is spicier and absolutely perfect for the fall!
  6. Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment is heaven. I usually switch out my pinks in favor of a redder shade, I have never really looked great in the maroon colors associated with fall. This provides just enough color and is moisturizing at the same time! Win!
  7. Essie Smokin’ Hot. I’ve been wearing this for weeks and I cannot get enough! Love this shade! And does anyone feel like Essie reformulated? It goes on so smooth and dries super fast now!
  8. Dry Shampoo: I never leave the house without it.
  9. This oil has been a Godsend. The constant itching has started and this seems to be the only thing that cures it.
  10. Ok, so I do not actually own this bag, yet. At only $38 it seems like the only real option for fall.
  11. I walk to work, so it is actually becoming that time of year where I do actually carry shoes in my bag. On top of that, I also have this awesome new accessory called compression hose. Finding shoes that work with those all day is pretty much impossible so I like to have options!

So that’s what I am totin’ around these days! What about you? What are your essentials for this season?

Stay tuned Monday for a little giveaway to celebrate 3 YEARS of this here blog! Until then, I hope everyone has a great weekend!

20140521-064526-24326801.jpg

Good morning! Yesterday, I shared with you some of my first things first beauty routine. Once I’m ready to conquer the day, which is not until after my coffee or tea (which I pack several of to go) I use these makeup essentials:

1. Thanks to Birchbox I have gotten to try lots of new products that I wouldn’t necessarily pick off the shelf. Plus, each month you can accumulate points by reviewing items. This Hot Mama Blush is one that I buy with my points over and over again. It has a bit of shimmer to it and the shade is just perfect.

2. Laura Mercier Eyelash Curler. The thing I love most about this is that it is compact. Most eyelash curlers are SO bulky!!

3. Milani Liquid Like Eyeliner.

4. They’re Real Mascara.

5. Bare Minerals Powder Foundation and Brush. Liquid foundation is usually too intense color wise for my face. Powder foundation blends better and is more practical for me for everyday use.

6. Bare Minerals Powder Concealer and Brush. Oh my. I don’t know what I did before I found this. Works wonders on dark circles.

7. Laura Mercier Gloss in Bare Pink. As an everyday lipgloss, I love the way this stays on your lips for awhile. If I’m feeling feisty that day, I’ll put it on over a red or pink lipstick.

8. Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb. I love this travel size. Plus, it smells amazing.

These are pretty much my everyday staples. I also have ‘fancy’ makeup I save for getting gussied up–like primers and finishing powders–but for everyday I keep it pretty simple!!

So how about you? What are your favorite makeup staples? Anything you swear by?

Happy Wednesday!
Erin

natalie's bag

Happy Tuesday, friends! I hope you all are recovering nicely from Cinco de Mayo. Those chips and margaritas can really sneak up on ya!

Today I thought I’d share my go-to items for every day travel. These things can always be found in my bag. I never leave the house without them! My purse weighs 100 5 pounds but I’m telling you, these are the essentials! Tad, however, may disagree. 🙂

What's in natalie's bag?

BKR Bottle– Never leave the house without this. Definitely an essential.

Jouer ‘Lip Enhancing’ Conditioning Lip Treatment– I used this so much this past winter.

Kate Spade- ‘Cobble Hill-Bee’ Wristlet– Doubles as a coin purse for me!

J.Crew. Backup Battery for iPhone– I’m on my phone wayyy too much so this always comes in handy!

Tide to Go pen– Unfortunately, I need this way too often.

Madewell for Birchbox Nail Emery Board

Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment– This gives your lips the prettiest color.

Any must-have items that you carry around? We’d love to hear ’em!

Stay tuned for Erin’s purse essentials later this week!

4. Go Be Lovely Lavish Hand Cream. Have you all checked out Illume’s new packaging? It is to die for!

5. Market Tote.

Happy weekend!
