Another month, another favorites video! I hope you all are having a great start to the summer. May was a fun month for me! I had a memorable trip to NYC with Matt and a trip to Alabama with Bartlett to visit my family. Here are the products, TV shows and more that I enjoyed over the month of May!
What were your favorite things this month?
I made my first unboxing video last month when the kind folks at BoxyCharm sent me the April beauty box. I was really impressed at the quality of products they selected and excited that it was a beauty box filled with full size products instead of tiny foil packets.
This month, I thought I would share my box with you!
The May box features several products that are perfect for spring and summer! I especially love that bold orange nail polish and the brow kit — something every lady needs.
If you’d like to win this box, all you have to do is:

I will select one winner sometime next week! Good luck!
I mentioned in a previous post that I’m not the biggest fan of spring. Fall has my heart. BUT spring is here and today I’m sharing my fashion essentials for this mild season:
There’s something about Kool-Aid that reminds me of warm weather and fond memories outdoors. Sure it’s a deliciously sweet and refreshing drink on a hot summer day, but you can also use the mix to make a yummy lip stain! With so many flavors to choose from, your lips will be colorful and sweet this summer.
All you need:
1 packet of unsweetened Kool-Aid mix (depending on what color stain you want)
a bit of water
Q-tip to clean up the look
(You could also add a little coconut oil if your lips are on the dry side.)
Dip your finger into the water, then into the dry, unsweetened Kool-Aid mix. Apply the wet mix to your lips like a normal lip balm. Then use the Q-tip to get rid of any bumps and even out the color!
I used the Black Cherry flavor for this look.
Try not to lick it off your lips immediately! Trust me, it’s tempting.
