Time management.....how do you manage?? We all want to get everything done in the 24 hour day but it seems like there isn't enough time in the day. I feel like I may be taking on too much or losing how to manage everything. There is so much I want to do and it is like I don't have enough time. Maybe I'm over thinking and I do that a lot but I'm starting to get a little overwhelmed with everything. I know what is important but there is so much that is a priority. It is already tough being a full time working mom and now fiance' but throw in grad student, blogger and now wedding planner. Also still finding time to be around friends, date nights,working out and family time. Sometime it is a miracle how I even get everything done. Sometimes I'm running around like a crazy person but you wouldn't see that. I keep it looking like I have it all together and not letting others see that you are going crazy. That you have a million and one thoughts running through you

Happy Tuesday!! I am loving this beautiful weather and hope it stays for a while. I know in my last post I was feeling pretty overwhelmed and getting a little stressed out. I figured planning your own wedding would be stressful but not this stressful!! Well after talking and a few discussions, we have decided to change this to a destination wedding!! My fiance suggested this when we first got engaged but I really didn't hear him. I just kinda envisioned what I always dreamed of and ran with it. I didn't realize how expensive a wedding would be and I just shut out his opinion in a way. I kept saying "Oh, this is our day, not just mine" but I was acting like it was mine. I had to realize how much we would be saving with a destination wedding and how much stress that would take off of us and myself. It really pays to open your mind to others and really listen to people. I just never thought of having a destination wedding but the more I learn about it and research, the m

Happy Friday beauty lovers! I hope you have been enjoying Winter again lol! I hope Mother Nature gets it together soon lol. Today I am bringing you another review powered by BrandBacker! *I was sent these products for testing purposes and this is my opinion after using. Let's get into the reviews! *Powered By BrandBacker* I was pretty excited when I was picked for this campaign. I have tried a Make Beauty eyeshadow before and loved it. Honestly, I was expecting the samples to be a little bigger. I was a little disappointed in the lipstick sample, it was hard to use. It kept breaking when I was trying to apply it. Make Beauty is a very new company to me that I was introduced to through Birchbox.  They have just about everything from eyeshadows to contour kits. They also have a line for skincare as well. Alabaster Eyeshadow This shadow on the Make Beauty site is described as a soft eggshell with peach undertones. This shadow is a matte and can be used as a brow

Happy Friday! I have been loving the weather this week and hope it stays. I know I was supposed to have my makeup tutorial up today but was having some technical difficulties. I will have that up later today or tomorrow for you guys. I still wanted to get something up today so why not update you on how I did last month with my goals! You can see my previous post HERE!! Record tutorials and upload once a week- You know, I commend those that do this for a living because this whole tutorial process was no joke! I was able to get my hair routine up for you guys and that was a lot. I had to record like 5 separate videos and mash them all together. The editing process is a lot of work as well. I recently purchased Adobe Premiere and have been learning how to work it. It seems pretty easy and I'm getting the hang of it. I plan on getting more tutorials up and practicing my editing skills. Clean Eating- I was pretty good with this one. I always have healthy snacks at work and drink wa
