Good Morning readers and Happy Cinco de Mayo. I’m sorry that I don’t have a festive Cinco de Mayo outfit planned for you today, but I figured  you’d like the chance to win this amazing GLAMdivide plus a personalized Gigi NY clutch in the color of your choice just a little more than my fiesta attire.  Am I right?

Anyway, like I told you last week…still no living room furniture or a kitchen table, but my clutches are now organized on a beautiful lucite display all thanks to GLAMboxes!  Who cares about pots and pans are area rugs!! We’ve got the perfect handbag display!! Okay, maybe I took that a little too far because being able to cook something and having a place to sit other than floor might be nice.  The point is that the GLAMdivide is the perfect display piece to help you more easily organize your clutches to where you can still see all of them which makes getting ready easier.  I love lucite displays so that I can see all of my options instead of always using the same bags or having to dig around my closet to find them.

If you don’t have very many clutches, I highly recommend checking out Gigi New York’s current spring collection, but be careful because you just might want to buy them all! Oh and don’t forget to enter this giveaway for a chance to win one in the color of your choice!

P.S. Stay tuned for some exciting details about an event that I’m hosting at Lakeside mall on Saturday, May 31st!

Good Morning readers, so remember on Monday night when I gave you a sneak peek of my new place on Instagram and said that you’d be seeing more photos the next day? Well, I failed horribly and didn’t even post anything because we still aren’t finished settling in and when I say we haven’t really finished settling in, what I really mean is… We don’t have couches or a kitchen table or pots and pans or silverware or WiFi (I take that back! We literally just got Wifi a few hours ago).

On a more positive note, the nail polishes and necklaces are organized beautifully on these lucite displays. At least we have something out together, right? Everything is slowly coming but surely coming together and I can’t wait to show you the end results! You’ll see in upcoming posts that is the first of many ways that I organized my jewelry and accessories. I loving using lucite displays so I can more easily see all of my jewelry and don’t have dig. All of my options are right in front of me!

About the Agave Smoothing Trio Lately I’ve been trying to get my hair back to its old healthy looking self, but it’s hard when I’m constantly putting heat on my hair with blowdryers, straighteners and curling irons so I was ecstatic when Agave reached out about trying their smoothing trio products. I’m kind of a product junkie and will try almost any hair product.   I’ll tell you that these Agave smoothing products smell divine and make your hair feel silky and new!

About the Beau & Ro Bag: The Pebble Beach is a sandy coastal oasis. This bag features pebbled tan / gold leather with a natural canvas center panel. This bag, measuring 6 x 8 inches, makes for a perfect clutch-to-belt bag. An inside pocket is large enough to keep your Ray-Bans safe and within reach. The belt measures 45” from end to end.

Good Morning readers, I hope you’re having a great week so far. I can’t believe we’re already halfway through it. I’ve still been getting settled into my new house and going through all of my clothing, shoes, accessories and beauty products trying to decide on what to keep and what to toss. With a new season right around the corner, it’s time start thinking new wardrobe pieces and new beauty essentials. I don’t know about you, but when the season changes so do my beauty essentials. I mean it makes sense though, wouldn’t you agree? Your skin changes with the weather so why shouldn’t your makeup? That’s why I was so excited when StyleList asked me to be apart of their Best of P&G Beauty Review. I tried out all of these products and found that I liked the lashblast 24HF, the Clean Whipped Cream Foundation and the CoverGirl Clean Glow Blusher best. The 24 hour mascara is great for these upcoming hot months because it won’t smudge under your eyes as much as you sweat throughout the day and the the whipped cream foundation is so light and fluffy on your face that you can barely even feel it, which is really important to me. I hate wearing thick makeup when it’s hot outside because I feel like it’s clogging up my pores so I like to use lighter coverage.   As the for CoverGirl CLean Glow Blusher, it does exactly that! It gives you a clean and shimmery glow which complements a nice summer tan perfectly!
