Latest YouTube Video

Today's video is another fun Day in the Life type of vlog! This time I thought it'd be fun to share some behind the scenes type of stuff when it comes to content creation, blog post writing, and Instagram. I have been a full time-blogger for the last three years. Being a content creator is the most fun unconventional job I've had!

In today's video, you're not going to see much of my family and mom life stuff that I have to do during the day, but it's certainly still happening! I just didn't film those parts of my day.

Every day looks a little different around here, depending on what I need to do. But my schedule is pretty similar nowadays - hustle during nap time and in the afternoons when Greg takes over with the baby. Are these type of "behind the scenes" videos fun to watch?

💄PILLOW TALK LIP LINER DUPES💄 ⠀ We did a b

💄PILLOW TALK LIP LINER DUPES💄
⠀
We did a blind dupe battle today on stories! The votes and results are in!
⠀
I have to say, the Charlotte Tilbury lip liner formula is extremely hard to dupe. It’s very luxurious and worth the price point because it does stay put and looks soooooo smooth. But I am really happy with these three alternatives!
⠀
A) NYX LIP PENCIL IN PEEKABOO NEUTRAL - Third place in the popular vote. But I have to say I really love the formula of this lip liner and like it the most out of the three. The shade is slightly more peachy but I’m not mad at it.
⠀
B) ESSENCE SOFT CONTOURING LIP LINER IN THE BIG PROPOSAL - Second place in the popular vote. I featured this lip liner in my last YouTube dupe video and it really is such a great color match. I will say, the formula is slightly more patchy and does not wear quite as well. But I got this for under $2 soooo I’m not complaining. I still stand by this one as a really great alternative!
⠀
C) JORDANA EASYLINER IN TAWNY - Winner of the popular vote! I think this definitely is the best color match of the three. It’s a bit harder to find (I’ve only seen it in Walgreens where I live and it’s double the price on Amazon but still under $5).
⠀
The big question - which one would I pick? I prefer the formula of the NYX but I personally like the shade of the Essence more than the Jordana. BUT I honestly think any of these would be a good pick! Best of all, they are priced at $5 and under! So there’s your non-answer answer from me. 🤣
⠀
Second question - did your vote win?
⠀
Last question - how does one pose gracefully with 4 lip liners? 🤔
⠀
Hope you enjoyed this edition of blind dupe battle! We’ll do it again soon. 👊🏻 For more dupes, check out my IG story highlight (these will be saved there) or visit my blog!

My little assistant isn’t much much help around

My little assistant isn’t much much help around here. I can’t get him to draft an email to save my life, he has discovered how to sneak into the bathroom to unroll the toilet paper, and he puked on me today. 🤦🏼‍♀️
⠀
Where my work-at-home moms at? 🙋🏼‍♀️ Major shout out to all those who are by choice and those who were forced into this role thanks to our friend COVID. 2020 has definitely been a growth and learning experience for parents, that’s for sure!
⠀
I published a “day in the life” video today (link in bio!) focusing on all of the behind the scenes of running my blog and social media. Every day is different but I had a lot of fun sharing what some days may look like. I hope you check it out and let me know what you think!

My little quarantine buddy 👩‍👦
⠀
This sweet 10-month-old has been at home for almost half of his life. 😫 I’m very grateful for the adventures we got to take before this all went down, but a part of me is sad that he only knows the inside of our house.
⠀
As Texas hits a huge surge, I can’t help but feel pretty defeated. This has been such a weird time for so many, and for so many different reasons. I know we have lots to be thankful for, and I am thankful. But it’s ok to be frustrated and sad over little things.
⠀
I owe you lots of adventures, my little Logan. I promise we’ll take them.

When you haven’t left your house much in the last 4 months, a hair appointment feels like therapy and vacation wrapped into one. It’s the little things in life right now, yeah?

THE BEST MAKEUP BRUSHES! ✨ I pulled out all the stops and shared my top 10 favorite makeup brushes (with affordable options) and the best makeup brush set I found on Amazon! Your girl was super thorough like always. 🤣 Hit the link in my bio to go check out the video and build your best collection! Here's a speed through of all the brushes for your viewing pleasure. 🤩
⠀
I realize this Hamilton song has nothing to do with makeup brushes, but I'm real excited about it coming out in 11 days on @disneyplus, so I felt like we had to jam to it. Also... lots of the lyrics are really drawing some similar parallels to how the world feels right about now 👀

Our yearly Father’s Day photo tradition has anot

Our yearly Father’s Day photo tradition has another addition this year! 💙
⠀
This year we welcomed Greg into the “boy dad” and “dad of 3” club. As per usual, he rocks fatherhood with patience and lots of humor. We are so lucky to have him!
⠀
Cheers to all the dads and father figures who show up and have a passion for the little (and grown up) children in their lives.

👶🏼 10 MONTHS 👶🏼 Are there really only 2 months left of Logan’s first year? 😭 Also, these photos are getting harder and harder to take. 😅
⠀
This little guy loves...
• Mickey Mouse
• Goodnight Moon
• When Elsa sings “Into the Unknown”
• Grapes (cut up, of course)
• Feeding himself
• Nightly stroller walks
• Remotes
• Cords
⠀
He also hit a major milestone this past month.... SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT! 🥳 He sleeps from about 8-7:30 with two daytime naps.
⠀
Logan is truly becoming the sweetest dude. He is along for the ride and is overall pretty adaptable (even sleeping well and happy as can be when we went out of town). We are looking forward to more adventures and hopefully getting him back to “school” in the fall!
⠀
We love you, little Logan!

Another day, another eyeshadow palette. 🤣 No but for real, this one from @urbandecaycosmetics is in my top 5 of all time. I love that it has a good mix of warm, neutral and cool tones, and that it also has a pop of coral. It can deliver for both simple and complex looks. It’s just so fab!
⠀
I posted this everyday look to IG stories today and felt it deserved a permanent spot on my feed for y’all to reference back to.
⠀
Right now, it’s on sale for under $25! I have it linked in my stories and on my blog’s shop page (link in bio)! 🙌🏻

I’m still listening and learning. I will continue to listen and learn. As a mother raising young children, it’s important for me to teach them to be anti-racist and speak up in times of injustice. As a creator with an audience, it’s important for me to be an ally and a voice.
⠀
While my blog and social platforms begin to move forward, so much of my learning and change have gone on behind the scenes. It’s continuing the conversation with my kids, reading books, making friends of all colors, and LISTENING.
⠀
So much of the work goes on offline, but I’m also working to be better here. Whether it’s advocating for diversity in the beauty industry (no more pathetic shade ranges!!), sharing tutorials that feature creators of different skin tones, or continuing to amplify Black voices - I’m here to do better.
⠀
The work is never done, but I am committed to the journey. I’m speaking it out loud to be held accountable. Thank you for continuing to learn and do better with me.
