Drugstore mascaras - what are your faves? I’m working on a post to round up my must-haves and the @covergirl Lash Blast Flourish mascara and amplifying primer are my current dynamic duo of choice. I also like to layer mascaras on top of each other for different looks. Tell me which ones you love in the comments below so I can add them to my list!! #covergirlmade #sponsored . . . I’ve linked these here on the @liketoknow.it app and on my shop page on the blog! http://liketk.it/2xgj9 . . . . . #liketkit #LTKbeauty #LTKunder50 #LTKsalealert #iamwhatimakeup #atlantablogger #beautyinspo #beautytips (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnd0NM9ga2a/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=510mkpkfuj95

Are you a dewy or a matte gal?For me - depends on my mood and my sheer and utter excitement over the product I’m using - which is major right now! Thank you @makeupforeverus, @neckholas, @nicklujanmua and @barmercadoatl for hosting a fabulous evening introducing us beauty influencers to the new Matte Velvet Skin foundation. Matte makeup shouldn’t be opaque a la the 90s. Now it’s all about radiant and flexible matte finishing. I’m in love!

Oh hey eyebrows, I see you - because you are so long I can basically braid you 🤢. How do you cover grooming them at home? I use a white kajal liner to draw my boundaries and arch and then get to work! The pencil rubs in or comes off easy and keeps you from over- or under-grooming!

Have you discovered the magic of charcoal yet?! I use it on my face, on my teeth and on my armpits (for real, charcoal deodorant is the best!) to pull out bacteria and detoxify. This @yesto mask is one of my favorite affordable charcoal options, and I’ve linked it and my other drugstore charcoal favorites on the @liketoknow.it app. P.s. All my favorite drugstore skincare, hair care and body care is live on bellemeetsworld.com.

Where did my summer go?? Currently searching for lost time and three more days of vacay so I can keep this relaxation going just a bit longer - anybody feel me?!?!? This striped dress from @bananarepublic was such a hit last summer that they cut it in two new styles this year. I’ve linked both on the @liketoknow.it app because they are each fabulous and linked a similar watermelon bag you’ll want for the rest of these warm days we have left! http://liketk.it/2wZTy . . . . . . . . #liketkit #LTKunder100 #LTKstyletip #LTKunder50 #LTKsalealert #atlblogger #charlestonblogger #summerbeauty #summerstyle #vacationallieverwanted #vacationmode #summerdress #stripes #thatsdarling #palmtrees (at Charleston, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmlpc19A2L2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vjpuud2e24bd

The @elfcosmetics ultimate blending brush is affordable, drugstore beauty perfection - just like most of their studio brushes (the black ones). It is the right shape, size and density to blend all the contouring, highlighting, blushing, setting and glowing you could possibly do! I bought this at the recommendation of one of my fave beauty bloggers @mego and have used it every single day since! I tagged two of my fave other elf brushes and my number one drugstore makeup product too (also by elf). Just head to the @liketoknow.it app to shop! http://liketk.it/2wYXP . . . . . . . . . #liketkit #LTKbeauty #LTKunder50 #LTKstyletip #beautytips #drugstoremakeup #bestofbeauty #makeupoftheday #motd #beautyobsessed #makeupismylife #atlblogger #beautygirl #bestmakeupbrushes #elfcosmetics (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmitM-lASh1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qhbefvhzrj5h

Alone time is so important to recharge, am I right?! Today Evan had to work so I spent some time at the beach on my own reading a trashy book, splashing in the waves (I’m afraid to go in too deep because Jaws) and just thinking in the breeze. It’s a valuable experience to be alone with your thoughts and to check in with yourself. Do you thrive on alone time?? . . . . . . #alonetime #rechargeyoursoul #beachlife #beachtime #solitudeisbliss #vacationmode #atlantablogger #tybeeisland #georgiablogger #georgiavacation #confidenceissexy (at Tybee Island, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmer02pgPFn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13ha10c0vjsaf

This is 36! I had a great low key birthday today - we went to the beach, I took a nap and read a book, we went into Savannah for dinner at @atlanticsavannah and then got ice cream and walked on the beach at night. It was fabulous, just like getting older is. I’ve spent too much time sweating birthdays and decided to give that up this year because 36 is a) amazing and b) inevitable! . . . . . . #happybirthdaytome #thisis36 #tybeeisland #atlantablogger #georgiablogger #vacationmode #beachhairdontcare #beachwaves #vacationallieverwanted (at Tybee Island, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmcOI6ZAPsC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pl2snzggdsaa

I think I’ve found the culprit of my cystic acne - KOMBUCHA. Seriously! I stopped drinking it for 5 days and my cystic acne went away. COULD THIS REALLY BE A THING?! The fermentation or something? To address the more surface-level zits, I’ve bought into this pink clay mask craze real hard, and it’s helping with the black heads. I’ve also been using the mask as a spot treatment on the smaller zits and it’s helped suck the gross stuff to the surface to get it out of there. So why is everyone freaking out over pink clay? It has Vitamin A in it which helps with acne (think Retin-A). Plus, it’s pink, so...duh. @sandandsky sent me this one to try and they got me with this packaging and the little brush! I’ve used it 2 times plus the overnight spot treatment way once. Apply w the brush, let it dry and then use the little soft scrubby to get it off. Swipe to see it! #sandandsky #sponsored . . . . . . #acnetreatment #acnescars #cysticacne #kombucha #kombuchalove #skincareproducts #skincaretips #atlblogger #atlantablogger #pinkclay #pinkclaymask #beautyjunkie #bestofbeauty (at Atlanta, Georgia)

Do you feel like you are living your best life from a health perspective? I don’t, and I’m curious how many of you prioritize wellness. Each day feels like a psychological battle for fitness - Should I exercise? Eat that? Drink that? Sleep now? Stay up for one more episode? Hit snooze? Meditate? Have one more cup of coffee? Shave my legs (or just wear pants again)? Today I had a conversation with another woman about how much we needed to accept whatever we did that day as enough. So…Today I ate one healthy meal at Flower Child here in Dallas. That was enough. But I also like pushing myself to be better when I’m not happy with my health choices. What’s your advice for staying motivated?
