On behalf of breast cancer patients & survivors, 50% of the proceeds will be given to The Breast Cancer Foundation.
This tank is adorable. So unique. The sheer hearts scattered across it are so much fun. I rocked this under a grey cardigan and the hearts peeping out from underneath are the perfect twist to a standard, simple, staple camisole.
First Facial
Friday, after work, I treated myself to my first ever professional facial. It's scary when I splurge on things like this because there is a very good chance that I'll get addicted. I think I just may with this...
I made an appointment to get an express/mini facial at AvaShay's Salon in Brighton MI. There were two different options to chose from: a regular facial or a pumpkin mask facial. I opted for the regular one, with the guidance of licensed Esthetician, Barbara, since it was my first time and I was a little nervous as to how my skin would react.
While filling out the initial paperwork since it was my first facial there, I had a glass of wine and had a chance to unwind from work. The facial started with a cleansing, and ended with a mask, serum and moisturizer. I don't remember what happened in between too clearly since I dosed off a bit :)
My face felt so smooth afterwards and it felt good knowing that my pores were thoroughly cleansed. Barbara used Bioelements and Tao products for my facial, and so far, so good, no breakouts or sensitivity.
If you're looking to treat yourself to something relaxing, and want to spend less than you would on a massage, check facial prices around your area. A 30 minute facial should cost anywhere from $25 - 40, depending on any add-on's you may want. Not only is it relaxing, but it's a great treat for your skin.

Get Ready...Set...Coordinate!
These are genius! For someone like me who lives in flip flops May - September these are a dream come true. SwitchFlops allow you to easily switch and trade the top straps to coordinate with your outfit. I wore these all summer long and switched the top strap to match my different bathing suits and sundresses.
Lindsay Phillips is the energetic inspiration and founder of SwitchFlops. Her idea for SwitchFlops came from a high school art project! Her strap designs are influenced by her voyage around the world on the Semester at Sea and her travels to Europe. Her motto is: "Change your look, not your sole."
The newest design features a Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon and 25% of the purchase price to breast cancer research.
I suggest stocking up on these for next summer so you are ready to coordinate! Find the retail location nearest you.

Time to Organize!
I finally finished switching out my summer clothes with my fall/winter clothes and organizing my closet. Now, it's time to take on my makeup. With the help of my fellow beauty bloggers, I reorganized my makeup, bath, body and hair products in my bathroom. It took approximately 5 hours....
Both Temptalia and Beauty & Fashion Tech suggested the sterilite containers you can find at Walmart or Meijers. Lucky me, they were on sale at Meijers. I bought 2 larger ones with a single drawer and 3 smaller ones with 3 individual drawers. I organized my palettes and brow kids in one large one, and in the other large one I have my shadows organized by shades and type.
I organized my foundations, bronzers, lip pots, mascaras, eyeliners and blushes in their own mini drawers. I also have a a mini drawer for tweezers, scissors, and other misc. beauty essentials.
I previously had everything semi organized in a pink and brown plastic woven baskets from the Dollar Tree (I heart the Dollar Tree). I moved these, along with fun pink Victoria's Secret boxes, to the lower shelves of my closet and have my bath and body products, hair products, sun care/self tanner and giveaway products stored in these.
I outgrew the dollar store martini glasses for my glosses, so I purchased regular glasses from the dollar store and organized my glosses in them by color (pinks, browns, sheers, etc.).
Here comes my favorite part. I got this idea from Temptalia and Bionic-Beauty. I purchased square-like glasses from the Dollar Tree along with small polished river rocks and pebbles. I put the rocks in the glass and 'voila' a brush holder and really cool, spa-like decor for my bathroom, for only $3!!!
I look forward to opening up my closet each morning and doing my makeup. I love the 'store like' feel to it and knowing where everything is! Not only did this help to clean my counters up, but it also makes doing my makeup in the morning more efficient since I can quickly find everything!
I'd love to hear how you organize your makeup...please comment!
