Things I’m Loving

Books
I’m a big fan of books that inspire you to take charge and dream big.  Welcome To The Real World is written by the founder and CEO of internqueen.com.  She has helped so many graduates find their dream job, and you can tell her words of advice come from a place of experience and wisdom.  This book is designed for the recent college graduate (and would be a great graduation present), but I found a lot of helpful tips and advice even as someone who has already started their career.  She touches on everything from dealing with rejection, to time management, to getting promoted – all things you can use no matter where you are in life or your career.

Beauty
This duo is a spa day in a bottle.  I start by spraying the hydrate spray, then use the red clay mask, and  finish with the hydrate spray.  I felt like my skin just glowed after using the red clay mask, and my pores seemed tighter.  It’s the perfect remedy for those days when you just feel down in the dumps and need to pamper yourself.

NYX Lipstick in Tea Rose (Currently BOGO 50% off)
I bought this before a work trip to Seattle because I wanted a lipstick that was sophisticated yet pigmented enough to look like I had some color on my lips.  This is so close to my natural lip color, but about 2-3 shades darker which I looooove.  I’ve been wearing this every day lately.  (I tend to do that – where I’ll wear out a lip color).  For the price, it’s definitely something you should add to your makeup collection.

Bohemian Top from TJ Maxx (similar)
While in NYC, my bestie Kaitlyn and I had to pop into the TJ Maxx down the street from our hotel.  We are both huge bargain shoppers and spent a good amount of time perusing the TJ Maxx and the Nordstrom Rack right above it (a dangerous yet beautiful combo).  I saw this little bohemian blouse and had to grab it since it was only $14.99.  I love the combo of navy & neon pink so it really stood out to me.  I can see this being an easy go-to blouse in the summer as it will look just as cute dressed up with white skinny jeans as it will in cut off jean shorts.
