My Thankful Thursday - Part 3

This will be the last post in the #MyThankfulThursday series I have been participating in this month, along with my friend, Amanda, over at The iLOVE Project.  I have really been enjoying writing about the things I am thankful for this month, as it is so easy to take for granted the good things in your life.  This week is going to be a little different and fun, because I am going to talk about totally random and some frivolous things I am thankful for.

How to Create a Simple Coat Rack for your Entryway

This post may contain affiliate links for your convenience

I am always jealous of the houses with large foyers that can be styled with console tables and/or benches, since my house has a nonexistent foyer that only offers a jam packed coat closet.  I wanted to dress up our front entrance, which opens into our hallway and has no room for a  piece of furniture and little room for styling.  I looked through home magazines and scoured Pinterest for inspiration.  I decided on adding a wall-mounted coat rack for guests and a family photo, similar to the looks I found HERE and HERE.

Brand Love - E.L.F. Cosmetics and #playbeautifully Challenge

I have recently become obsessed with a makeup line called e.l.f. (Eyes, Lips, Face) cosmetics.  It has been around for a while and I probably used it in my younger years, but I have recently become re-acquainted with it through Instagram.  The line is so affordable, and it can be found at your local drugstore, Target, and even the Dollar Tree! The products are all good quality and come in a wide variety of shades and styles.

My Thankful Thursday - Part 2

I am going to continue with my Thankful Thursday series this week because I feel it helps me keep things in perspective.  Check out the other posts in the #MyThankfulThursday Series  over at The iLOVE Project.  Last week I talked about the big things in my life that I am thankful for; family, financial security, and my church.  This week, I am going to focus my gratitude on a few specific things that have affected me personally over the last week.

Birchbox Review November 2015

It is month two of my BirchBox subscription and I am pretty happy with the products I received for $10. The theme for this month was pampering and polishing, so the items related to personal indulgence.  The box itself was very pretty; it was turquoise with a rich brown flower pattern.   Although these are all sample sizes, the full size versions of these products come to about $100.

My Thankful Thursday

The month of November seems to be a time when we focus on being thankful, more so than the rest of the year.  This week I am joining my dear friend Amanda over at The iLOVE Project for #MyThankfulThursday Series.

What I am Wearing (On my Nails) - Jamberry Wraps

I am not a Jamberry rep, but my dear friend Jill is and she has gotten me hooked so I wanted to share my experience.  It is no secret that I love pretty nails; just look at my Instagram feed!!  I love bright colors and funky designs, and love trying to do my own nail art.
I love trying new products like nail stickers and wraps and I have tried many options from the drugstore.  I like the fact that there was no dry time with the nail wraps, which is great when you are a busy mom. So, when I got the chance to try the Jamberry wraps, I went for it!
