Hi, friends!  It is FINALLY that time of year.  Spring temps are approaching, the days are getting longer, and I think we might have had our last snowfall.  Around this same time last year, I posted my spring cleaning tips and my goal this year was to complete my spring revamp before returning to work.  I feel like when my house is put together and everything has a place, I just feel more put together overall.  I spent the entire day last Saturday doing just that.  I tossed products that weren’t working for me anymore, replaced makeup that was drying up, and deep cleaned our bathroom.  I tend to hoard products and love trying everything out as soon as I get it, but the result is stuff everywhere.  So, each spring, and really at the start of each new season, I look forward to going through what I truly use everyday and organizing it so that it is simple to find in the mad dash that is our mornings.  This means sorting several spaces in our house and cleaning out each makeup bag that I keep in my bag stash by the door (work bag, baby bag, errands bag, etc…).

Some of the products I am loving for the new season are the new Tresemme new Reverse System, Covergirl Matte Lipcolor in Passion, Aveeno Absolutely Ageless line, and the new all-in-one Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water (I especially love using this in the morning!)

All of these products and more can be found at Meijer!  And…as always, for such a deal–and you know I love a good deal!

What are your spring cleaning tips?  Any products you are loving this season??

Happy Saturday!!
Erin

Christmas Wishlist + Gifts for Her

Good morning and a very happy Saturday to you all! It has been a whirlwind the last couple of weeks with the baby shower, my mom and sister visiting, wrapping up my final project for my master’s, tying things up at work, and last, but not least, prepping for BABY! We are 38 weeks today and we have moments where we sit back and say we are totally ready and then have moments (like when we realize that we haven’t installed the car seat) that we begin to panic. I find myself crying for no reason lately. I get really happy, then really sad about something I would never normally get sad about (I cried the other night because our new favorite show, Fargo, wasn’t ending fast enough and I wanted to go to bed).

SO–for this year’s Christmas gift guide…I am not going to pretend I know what grown up people want. I gathered up what’s on my wishlist this year which to be honest consists mostly of adult beverages and things I think will help make me feel like a human once baby arrives! SO here it goes!

  1. My all-time favorite Lip Balm.
  2. Kate Spade La Pavillion Set. We haven’t really gotten new towels or oven mitts since the wedding–we are overdue and these are darling!
  3. I saw this candy concoction at Nordstrom the other day and I just thought they were so cute! So fun for a holiday party!
  4. Wine plus cute packaging? Yes!
  5. Sayings on wine glasses are the best reminders!
  6. I try to stock up on my makeup essentials at Christmas like my Bare Minerals Foundation.
  7. …and NARS Blush.
  8. This ornament is just darling and until tomorrow everything at Papersource is 20% of with code FALALA!
  9. I have vowed to be better at getting pictures printed and I think it would help if I had some cute albums like this one!
  10. I have had my eye on this tote for years and with a momentous Christmas ahead, graduating with my master’s on the same day I am due, and 30 creeping up in early January, I think this needs to be the year for a very grown up bag!
  11. This book will just make me think I actually have a plan for keeping my house functional and cute post baby.
  12. Yes, to all things Essie.

So, what’s on your list?? Hope you are all making headway on your Christmas shopping list!

Have a great weekend,
Erin

Fall Beauty with Meijer!

autumn, beauty, blog, blogger, cleaning, Fall, makeup, meijer






Good morning and a very happy Monday to you all!  The first true fall weekend of the year gets me all kinds of happy.  It’s when I do the great switch out of everything.  While the hubby watches his football, I concentrate on buying and getting out everything I own that is even slightly pumpkin.

After my house smells like a fall harvest explosion, I begin tackling my beauty products.  Each season, the act of switching out my products brings me great, great joy.

1. For makeup, every two seasons, I invest in new brushes.  I give them a good cleaning every couple of weeks, but at just about six months, they get the good ol’ toss.   I also switch out my really bright pinks in favor of more muted/matte pinks.  In general, I tend to hoard so I try to toss what I don’t really use and invest in some new makeup that gets me excited to get up and get ready.  While I don’t use a whole lot of makeup, I try to find ways to genuinely enjoy the few minutes I spend putting on the basics of:
-If it’s a rough day: concealer under the eyes
-mineral powder foundation
-a little eyeshadow (I really love a little bit of shimmer that can double as a highlighter around the eyebrows)
-black liquid eyeliner for above the eyes; a pencil for below
-mascara
-blush
-lipstick

2.  Next, my favorite, is perfume.  I hoard this stuff.  Seasonally, I get hooked on one scent, maybe two and neglect the others.  Rotating them helps keep them exciting and fresh!

3. At the end of the day, makeup removal is a top priority.  If I sleep in my makeup, I will wakeup feeling and looking like a zombie.  Plus, I shower at night and if I don’t remove my makeup before my shower, I come out looking like Alice Cooper (which my mom used to call me growing up on account of my wild hair and general lack of teenage upkeep).  SO, I’m happy to say I do remove my makeup to avoid being called this in my adult years.  I love how gentle the micellar water is and then I follow with moizturizer immediately after I get out of the shower.

4.  When it comes to hair and skin these days, I cannot get enough moisture.  My belly itches all day.  I know with the impending dry months ahead, this situation is probably only going to get worse, so I am stocking up.  I pretty much only buy products that claim deep moisture–one product that this has become especially true for is body wash.  I used to just use any old thing, but I have recently switched over to Dove which has really helped!

5.  Last, but certainly not least in my beauty routine, is hygiene.  Especially when it comes to toothpaste, I have become more particular about what I use because inevitably I feel like I am swallowing some of it so it has become increasingly important to me to find natural products.  Plus, have you smelled Tom’s deodorant?  Heaven.

Every season, I am able to find everything I need (and for a steal) at Meijer.  If you live in the midwest, you know how amazing this place is.  It has everything you need.  If you aren’t already an mPerks member, head on over and get signed up.  It takes just a few minutes and the savings are incredible.  Simply clip the coupons onto your account and then start shopping.  You can also enroll in certain programs to earn points for even greater rewards like money towards your next shopping trip. Yes, please!

So, what are your tips or must have beauty items this fall?  As always, let me know if you have any questions about Meijer or mPerks!

Have a great day!
Erin

Spring Cleaning with Meijer Beauty!

Good morning!! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend!! It has been quite snowy and cold here the last few days!  This girl has literally been trapped in her house for four days straight.  Needless to say I am going a bit stir crazy.  Reorganizing, cleaning my beauty products, and dreaming of spring is the only way I am getting through these bitter temps.  Here are some of my spring cleaning tips to get you started on the path to a fresh new look for spring!

1. Toss out any expired products, stat!

2. I don’t know about you, but I acquire quite a bit of beauty products that I simply will not use.  I get samples through box subscriptions that are just the wrong color or that I don’t use in my normal skin routine.  Solution: have a trade party! Get a few of your friends together, pop some bubbly, and trade those products for things you will actually use!

3. Take every. single. thing. out of your shower and give it a good scrub.  Then replace it with staples that you will use every time you get in the shower.  I find that I tend to clutter my products and it makes it hard to find what I need to use.  Simplifying can help you to maintain a consistent beauty routine!

4. Trade out seasonal colors and clean those brushes.  Every season I try to dedicate a Saturday afternoon to makeup rotation.  For spring, trade out those reds for pinks and reintroduce your bronzers!  I also try to make sure I have foundations that have SPF in them for those warmer days where I might be outside more often!

image1-7

5. The final piece I am adding to my mix of spring cleaning, is a consistent night and morning routine.  I am trying to be better about flossing–Hi, Mom!–and now that my 30’s are rapidly approaching–a more consistent anti-aging routine.  You can never start too early? Am I right?!

What are your spring cleaning and beauty tips?  Just a few more weeks, friends! We can do this and let’s refresh our spring beauty routine with Meijer this season!! Head here to take a peek at their beauty book for some beauty tips and money saving coupons!

Happy Monday!
Erin
