This week has been a tough one, emotionally speaking. Though I don’t tend to share my political views (even on my personal facebook) let’s just say that I am devastated. But in an effort to remain positive, today’s post will be like most Friday posts; casual and light.

The bangs are back! (much to my mother’s dislike, haha! She never likes my bangs. Sorry Mom!) Since I was recently a bridesmaid in a friend’s wedding I wanted to wait until after the wedding to cut my bangs in case I didn’t like them. No need to over document a bad haircut in all of their wedding photos. But so far I’ve loved having them again!
I’ve also stated on instagram multiple times how busy life has become. I have so many ideas and plans for this blog but I’ve been all over the place (literally, traveling so much). Starting next week I plan to make this blog a priority again. Thanks for sticking with me!
Buying

I’ve owned this before but had thrown it away some years ago after quite a lot of use. I decided to repurchase the Olay ProX because I love how clean it leaves my face. It’s the same idea as a Clarisonic, just a fraction of the price. It came with two brush heads, which are fantastic, and two types of cleansers, but I swear by this Clinique facial soap and love using the two together. [/one_third][one_third padding=”0 5px 0 5px”]
I literally have worn these boots everyday since I bought them. They are crazy comfortable and the 2.5in heel is perfect for daily wear. They come in three colors, and I’m really wanting the other two. See below 😉 [/one_third][one_third_last padding=”0 5px 0 5px”]
We sold this salve at Anthropologie when I worked there and for some reason I never gave it a try. It was kind of a last minute purchase at Ulta the other day but I’ve worn it constantly since then. It smells like roses, (obviously, it’s called rosebud salve…) which can be a tad old-lady-smell in my opinion but the product helps my chapped lips so much that I don’t even care.[/one_third_last]
To Buy

Like I said before, these boots are to die for. I really am contemplating getting the grey and tan colors. I just need to do it and stop thinking about it haha.[/one_third][one_third padding=”0 5px 0 5px”]
I’ve been going back and forth on whether or not to get one of the film packages from VSCO. They seem brilliant and I know they have gotten some great reviews. I’m just having a hard time choosing just one set![/one_third][one_third_last padding=”0 5px 0 5px”]
This may in fact be the lens of my dreams. It’s the perfect focal length for portraits/weddings, but also has such a low f-stop that I’m literally dying to have it. Although, I’ve been thinking about updating my camera body as well, so I might hold off until then.[/one_third_last]

I just found Belong Magazine randomly at Barnes and Noble the other day and knew immediately it had to come home with me. It’s a blogging and entrepreneurial magazine and is absolutely gorgeous with fantastic content. I highly, highly recommend. I also picked up another copy of Bella Grace, which I’ve loved for quite some time.
Little known fact: It used to be my ultimate life goal to work for a magazine. As a teenager and throughout college I was really setting my sights on a Condé Nast magazine. Needless to say, it would be a dream come true to own/work for a magazine like Belong or Bella Grace. Both are perfection in my book. But lucky for me, I’ve still found a way to still write and be a graphic designer, so I’m not complaining.
I think that’s all for now. I hope you all have had a fabulous week! I’ll see you Monday!
