Chilly Morning Routine
Sunday morning, my alarm sounds from my phone through my room. It’s Demi Lovato’s Confident (my new mantra) and I’m singing while being half asleep. There’s a chilly bite to the air and I don’t really want to get out of bed just yet. November in Phoenix is weird – it’s that month where you need the heater in the morning, but by mid-day, you need the AC on again. *you guys – my nightstand game is on point For now, 7AM, I want my warm blanket and to never ever leave my bed. Aft

Fashion Week Beauty Prep
Earlier this month was Phoenix Fashion Week, and as you can imagine, I was a combination of excited and ecstatic. I love a good runway show, and even more, I love a good red carpet photo opp.
The week leading up to the event, I made a list so I could stay organized and be sure to have a stress-free week. My list looked something like this: FRIDAY NIGHT LOOK
– Wear Eloquii’s Ruffle Shoulder Dress
– Eye look: winged liner, big lashes, nude lips
– Minimal, earthy Bling SATUR

The HD Face feat. Make Up For Ever HD Liquid Foundation
I’m a makeup junkie. An aesthetics addict. A cosmetic connoisseur, if you will. A maquillage mercenary, even! (sorry. got carried away.)
My weapon of choice? Foundations and face products.
I can spend hours testing different textures, finishes, formulas, sticks, liquids, mousses, powder, creams, all of it. So naturally I was thrilled when Make Up For Ever offered to send me some of their Ultra HD foundation products to try out. Make Up For Ever is largely known for their in

MAXImum color
Apparently, when I do color, I do ALL the color. I fell in love with this plus size maxi dress from UK retailer SimplyBe. I’m not one to wear maxi dresses often (but that’s a goal for summer 2015! More maxis!)but when I saw the flattering waistline and unique strapless-but-not style, I knew I had to try it. The fit is great on it, from the stretchy lining to the floaty tropical overlay. I decided not to go modest with my accessories, pairing my neon orange Ted Baker cross bod

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo
I was raised on Disney movies. Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella… you name it, I’m obsessed with it. My love for all things Disney never wavered as I got older as evidenced by my annual passport and the fact that I’m at the front of the line for every new release.
This week, the live-action version of Cinderella comes out, and I couldn’t be more excited.
So, in celebration of the new movie, I wanted to share a look with you that is 100% plus size princess. The second I put on thi

DIY: Super Glam Pink Hair
“If I got hit by a truck tomorrow, I swear to god the last thing I would say – whilst gasping for air, mind you – is: dammit! I never got to have pink hair!” Yeah, that’s an actual excerpt from an actual conversation I had last week. Part of me wanted to call Jocelyn (the hair goddess at the salon I frequent far too often) And tell her to bleach my head and grab the pink dye. But having been down that road before (I can’t even talk about platinum blonde fiasco of 2004) I knew

Splurge on This: Skincare
I have several loves in this world, and one of them is trying out new skincare products. With a goal of makeup-optional, glowing skin in mind, I set out on a journey to find products that not only deliver, but deliver fast. These 5 are my current splurge-worthy favorites, 3 of which (I promise) deliver near-immediate results. You’re gonna want to pick these up. 1. FRESH Peony Brightening Mask
I’ve never met a FRESH product I didn’t like, but this mask might be my all time fa
