June Recap
Hey all & Happy Friday!
I canāt believe that we are already at the end of June! This month flew by! I spent a lot of time this month with family celebrating some pretty important things, such as my grandparentās 60th wedding anniversary. You donāt really see marriages lasting that long anymore, so it really is special to celebrate a love that strong.Ā My grandparents got a blessing at theirā¦

Ā Hi all & Happy Monday!
Last week was crazy busy, with getting hired for two new jobs & filling out that paperwork; Iām just so happy for it to finally be over! I am really excited though that I finally have an excuse to get dressed up everyday. I thought Iād share with you all today my 3 favorite ways to style a scarf, I hope you enjoy!
1. In Your HairĀ
I love love love adding scarves to my hair. It always adds a little extra to an outfit I think. I either make a top knot or low bun in my hair, then I wrap the scarf around the bun & tie a knot. I like to leave the remaining part of the scarf hanging down but you can tuck them in or even make it into a little bow!
2.Ā Around Your Neck
I know styling scarves around your neck isnāt a new trend, but Iām so happy itās back because itās such a cool look. What I do is depending on the length of the scarf, I wrap it around my neck either once or twice and tie a knot. I move the knot over to be on the side of my neck so I can let the remaining scarf hang down. Itās such a carefree look & you can wear it with any type of look.
3. Around your ankle
This option is a little different, but I think it looks really cool! Iāve seen photos on pinterest where girls wear capris & then wrap the scarf around their ankle a few times. So I thought Iād give it a try & I think it looks great & adds a little extra pop to the outfit!
Ā Thanks for stopping by I hope you like my 3 looks!

Hi all & Happy Friday!
Iām so happy that itās the weekend! This weekend is going to be a busy one, jam-packed with Indians Games, Grandparents 60th anniversary, & Fatherās day!Ā Since the weather is finally in summer mode here in Cleveland, & because I have such a busy weekend ahead of me I decided to share my Glowy Summer make-up look. Ā Itās super light weight, it makes your skin look super healthy, & itās a look that I will be wearing all weekend!
Product List:Ā
NeutrogenaĀ Oil Free SPF 15 Lotion
Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream
Coastal Scents Blush
Too Faced Better than Sex Mascara
Covergirl Full Lash Bloom Mascara
Becca Champange Pop Highlighter (itās a little broken I know Iām sorry!)
Antastasia Beverly Hills Brow Kit
These are just the products that I use & really love, there are many dupes for each of these products so just find what works best for you!
I start with washing my face; skin care is key to a good makeup look! (You can check out my skin care routine here on the blog!) I apply theĀ NeutrogenaĀ face lotion after my face is nice & clean. This lotion is super hydrating & it also has a built in SPF which is very important!
Clean Face & No Makeup!
Once the lotion has set in, I then apply theĀ Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue. I apply this prodcut with my fingers, I just feel that it gets better coverage that way. This product is sheer & light weight, so if you are looking for a product that will cover all sorts of blemishes this isnāt the product for you. I love the complexion rescue because it gives your skin this really healthy glow, it lets my freckles shine through, & it has an SPF built in as well!
Once I finish applying the complexion rescue I then work on my eyebrows. Even though this is a simple makeup look I like to fill in my brows a bit, I think it really frames the face & makes the whole look pop!
After the brows, I add a bit ofĀ theĀ Becca highligher on the tops of my cheek bones. I also sweep the brush up my face from my cheekbones in a sort of Ā āCā motion. I then add the highligher to the bridge of my nose and the cupids bow of my lip.
Once Iām all highlighted, I like to add a little bit more pink in my cheeks to give that healthy glow. First I smile so I am really able to see the tops of my cheeks; using theĀ Coastal Scents blush I make circlular movements with my brush to apply the blush on the tops of my cheeks. I also like to swipe a little blush across my nose as well.
To finish the look off I use both theĀ Too FacedĀ mascara as well asĀ Covergirl on my lashes.
The finished look!
Ā Now youāre ready for a perfect summer day!
I hope you enjoy this Glowy Summer Look & thanks for stopping by!
Are you a makeup or no makeup girl in the summer?

Whatās Left in the Fridge?: Bacon, Brussel Sprouts & Goat Cheese SpaghettiĀ Squash
Hi all!
Do you ever have those days where you havenāt gone grocery shopping in a week; whether it be from laziness, or youāre going away soon, but now you have no food left in the fridge. Since this exact thing happened to me today I thought I would start a new series of posts called āWhatās left in the Fridge?ā Ā I had a few main ingredients lying around, such as a Spaghetti Squash that needed toā¦

I swear time moves faster when youāre on vacation! My time in Sedona, Arizona has already come & gone & I am super sad that it is already over. Continue reading to check out my trip!
A bit of holiday traffic slowed us down from getting into Sedona; but once we arrived into town we were sure to stop in to one of my families frequent pizza stops. Pisa LisaĀ is a great spot in town & luckily for me they have gluten-free crust. The food was incredible & it was nice to get a drink in after the long flight! After filling up on pizza we stopped at the groceries to get supplies for the week, then back out to a local winery,Ā Vino Di Sedona,Ā for a bit more wine & cheese. We sat outside as the sun started to lower & enjoyed live music while we snacked on some cheeses; it was a perfect ending for the first night.
As Sunday came along, we decided to keep it relaxing & explore more of our favorite spots in Sedona. We grabbed breakfast at the Pump House Station Urban Eatery; my mom & I ordered the smashed avocado toast & the salmon toast & split it between us. Both meals were so delicious, something I would definitely order again! After exploring more a bit in Sedona we stopped by the Mariposa, which is a Latin grill. They have amazing views of the red rocks surrounding the area. My family & I sat outside (I had my mom take part in a mini-photo shoot) & enjoyed the views with a glass of wine. We stopped for dinner in the Tlaquepaque shopping area, which is beautiful by itself. There are so many different boutiques & many cute places to take some pictures! We had dinner at El Rincon which is a Mexican restaurant with some amazing guacamole; if you go there you have to order it, as well as the Prickly Pear Margarita, that I became obsessed with over the trip.
Monday or Memorial Day, was another day spent relaxing. My mother, Aunt, & I spent the morning getting massages at theĀ Page Springs Winery. That massage was much needed, my shoulders were so tense even the masseuse noted on it! After the massage, we stayed for some wine, I mean we were already there! Just down the road was another winery calledĀ Javelina Leap Vineyard. We decided that we would spend the day Winery hopping & it was the perfect way to spend Memorial day! For the evening we stopped by the Airport Mesa in Sedona to check out the amazing sunset. It was absolutely gorgeous over the red rocks.
TuesdayĀ was the day that we decided to start our hikes. We started the day at theĀ Coffee PotĀ Restaurant, named after the rock formation that is located behind it. Every time I have eaten there it is always good & they are known for their many omelettes. After a protein filled breakfast we hiked theĀ Devilās Bridge Trail. We started the hike a little later in the day so it became very hot very quick. Other than the heat, the hike was very enjoyable & the view at the end was incredible! Once we came back from the hike we visited a town nearby Sedona called Jermone. Jermone is located up on a hill & the views are so cool. We stopped by a restaurant calledĀ The Haunted HamburgerĀ known for their amazing Bloody Maryās. My mom ordered one & said it was incredible, I of course, stuck with my Prickly Pear Margarita. The food was amazing as well, & to my luck they had these delicious gluten-free buns!
WednesdayĀ was a full day! One of the hottest days of our trip we decided to visit a popular spot known asĀ Slide Rock. Slide rock is a natural water slide located in one of theĀ parks & it was so much fun! I took my Go-Pro down & looking over the videos is just so cool! After sliding down the rocks in freezing cold water we decided to grab some drinks atĀ theĀ Indian Gardens Cafe & Market.Ā We had some wine & sat outside & we even saw a snake in the garden! All the water sliding tired us out, so after a nap we decided to walk around the shops on Sedonaās main street. I bought a cute touristy shirt & we stopped by a Mexican restaurant downtown calledĀ Oaxaca. Again, they have amazing guacamole & Prickly Pear Margaritas, also an amazing view of my favorite rock formation, Snoopy Rock.
DCIM100GOPROGOPR0483.JPG
ThursdayĀ started off with another one of our favorite hikes,Ā Cathedral Rock. Though it does have one portion that is a little tricky, those parts are always my favorite. One part of the climb is a little tight & I always say that I feel like Spider-man when I am climbing up. The top has amazing views of the valley below & it feels so relaxing once youāre finally at the top. Once we made our round trip we stopped by theĀ Enchantment ResortĀ for more views & Prickly Pear margaritas! I have become so obsessed with Prickly Pear I had to buy some prickly pear candy! The night was completed with our trip to theĀ Blazinā M Ranch. The ranch has a little town built where guests can learn to lasso, shoot, ride a tractor, & buy some drinks. Dinner is involved, which included these amazing ribs & baked potato. After dinner there was a show that featured some comedy & country music. It was very family friendly & a lot of fun as well!
FridayĀ was our last day in Sedona so we had to make it a good one! Another day meant another hike & this time we were trying a new one. We went on theĀ Soldierās Pass Trail, which features theĀ Seven Sacred Pools.Ā The hike did not feature any high climbs which was nice in the heat. Once again the hike parched us, which meant it was time for another drink! We stopped at theĀ SaltRock Southwest Kitchen for a relaxing lunch. Everywhere you go in Sedona has amazing views & outdoor seating is always the way to go.Ā We ending the night eating all of our collective left overs & having a talk on the patio.
Once again another amazing vacation is over way too soon. Sedona is such a relaxing & beautiful area I definitely recommend it; through visiting with my mother it has totally grown on me!
So where are some of your favorite places to visit in the States?

Summer Reading List
Hi all & Happy June!
Since Iām still finishing up my trip in Sedona I thought Iād share a post with you while Iām away!
This trip has gotten me into the summer time mood BIG time. So I figured I would share with you guys my reading list for the summer! I have books everywhere & the list of books I want to read is never ending. I decided to pick 4 books that I already have at home that I want toā¦

Hi all!
Sedona, Arizona is now one day away & I couldnāt be more excited! Today I am going to share with you what I normally have in my carry-on for my trips!
1. A Book
Every time I go on a trip I always make sure to have the current book that I am reading. Even though I donāt exactly read on the plane, because I get motion-sick when I do, I have it for when I am waiting around to board theā¦

Happy Hump-Day!
In 3 days Iāll be headed off for my first adventure of the summer! Along with my family I am visiting Sedona, Arizona. So I thought I would share what I am packing for the trip!
I have been there twice before, but my Mom & Aunt seem to visit there constantly. There are many things to do in Sedona; most people enjoy all the trails through the rock formations which are open to the public.Ā Since we are going in the spring/summer & Arizona is already hitting high tempuratures packing light was key!
The first outfit that I always start with is what I am going to be wearing for the flight. Since we are flying out of Cleveland in the morning, we will be arriving in Sedona pretty early. The goal for on flight outfits for me is to be comfortable, but not look so much like a bum! I choose my favorite pair of demin shorts, they are super comfortable & they wonāt be annoying during the flight; with it I choose a comfortable t-shirt, I sure do love my band t-shirts! This outfit to me is perfect because even if we donāt have time to stop at the hotel before exploring the town Iāll be ready to go!Ā
Once the on-flight outfit is taken care of I focus on grabbing my favorite tops that I have that I can basically pair with anything. The tops also had to be light & airy since the projected forcast for the week goes up to 90 degrees! Since I will be gone for only a little over a week, I really only bring 2-3 pairs of shorts & alternate tops. I choose to bring my jean shorts, a soft pair of maroon shorts, & this super cute new jean skirt that I am obsessed with!
Now that I had my āarount the townā clothes together I had to start with the hiking clothes. We always try and get out early in the morning to hike or else the heat makes it impossible to take 10 steps (I donāt do too well in the heat!) Most of the hiking clothes have UV protection which is important, you donāt want to burn out in the desert! Along with my fancy hiking pants from Columbia & Eddie Bauer I threw in a few Penn State t-shirts, I mean you never know where you will find some fellow Alumni!
To end my packing I threw in a few accessories, such as some silk scarfs to tie in my hair or around my neck (itās my new fav trend), and a couple hats as well! Where I live I donāt wear hats out & about too much even though I love wearing them! I threw in my new hiking hat that will protect my eyes & the back of my neck from the sun. I got it from TJ Maxx &Ā I just loved the funky floral pattern! I also threw in my black pom-pom hat that I got last year from TJ Maxx as well; I thought it would really complete one of my desert outfits!
Now that my packing is done the excitment & waiting is just killing me!
Thank you so much for stopping by & packing with me!
Where are you excited to visit this summer!?
Ā Pack With Me: Sedona,Ā Arizona Happy Hump-Day! In 3 days I'll be headed off for my first adventure of the summer! Along with my family I am visiting Sedona, Arizona.
My skin has been through hell & back. Itās dry one minute & oily the next. Not only that but I have the butterfly rash & my face is covered in freckles (which I love dearly). I used to have horrible breakouts throughout high school, it seems as though I could never get my skin under control.Ā Even though this combination skin has been hard to handle at times I have finally created a skin care routine for myself that has been working really well for me & I wanted my steps with you!
First & foremostā¦ DRINK YOUR WATER!
I understand this tip can be annoyingā¦ literally thatās what everyone says. āDrink water & your skin will glow!ā My mom would tell me all the time, but Iād always been tooĀ stubborn to listen. Yet, I realized when I wasnāt drinking a lot of water, that is when my worst breakouts would beā¦ especially in college. Now I make sure I have a water bottle around me at all times, you can even be fancy & add lemons & whatever else youād like to the water; just make sure you drink it! If you have a Fitbit like I do you can easily track your water intake to make sure you are getting the recommended daily amount, which is 8 8oz glasses, or what I aim for is 64 fl oz. which is about 3 large water bottles. Trust me, you may not realize it right away but in a week or so your skin will be thanking you for hydrating!

2.Ā Wash your face twice a day!
Washing your face is very obviously an important part of a skin care routine. YouĀ want to make sure all the daily āgunkā as I like to call it, is washed off your face so it can breathe. I wash my face right when I wake up in the morning & before I go to bed as well. Iāve been usingĀ Orange & Pink Lemon ScrubĀ byĀ DaylogicĀ which Iāve really been loving, Iām already onto my second bottle! I started using the product throughĀ St. IvesĀ & the other day when I went to the store to pick up a new bottle they were out! Luckily this product by Daylogic was there, which is the same exact scrub from St. Ives & works just as well, itās a little cheaper too!Ā Along with it, I use myĀ Clarisonic Mia to help really clean deep into my pores. I love myĀ Mia Iāve hadĀ it for quite some time now & afterĀ every use my skin feels so soft! You donāt need theĀ Mia to get a good clean though; a good scrub with your hands can do the trick (as long as they are clean)!
3.Ā Tone, Tone, Tone
So youāve washed your faceā¦ but donāt stop there! A toner is an important part in the skin care routine. It helps get deeper into the pores & clean anything that you may have missed & to me helps with pesky pimples. Often toners can be expensive & you may not quite be sure what is in the product. Iāve resorted to using my own DIY toner which I really have been loving; PLUS itās super easy to make!
The toner is 1 part Apple Cider Vinegar (which is good for just about everything!) & 2 parts water. BAM!Ā Now you have your new toner! I put my DIY toner into an old contact solution container that I had laying around, so you can use any empty little bottle you have. I apply the toner to a cotton ball & rub it all over my face after washing & then I give it a few seconds to dry. If you notice that you have sensitive skin I would test the mixture on your wrist to see how your skin reactions to the vinegar, Iāve had no problems but of course everyoneās skin is different!
4.Ā Moisturize
After your skin is toned & glowing donāt forget to give her an extra little hydration with some face moisturizer. For face lotion I donāt really have one product that I use, at the moment Iāve been going through samples that past me seemed to have stored in all my drawers. However, I have been using Total Moisture Facial Cream by Benefit which has made my skin so soft & smooth! Before I go out if iām going for a more makeup free look I use a moisturizer with SPF. SPF is so important in keeping your skin healthy & avoiding sunburn, & yes you should use it even in the winter months! My go to SPF face lotion has always been Neutrogena, I use the Oil-Free SPF-15, it works very well with acne-prone skin like mine! So make sure you moisturize, your skin needs everything that it can get!
5.Ā Argan Oil
So this is a bonus step that Iāve added recently into my evening routine. Argan oil is amazing for your skin, it hydrates, smooths, works to prevent wrinkles, & helps with those annoying under eye bags. I found aĀ small bottle, that again past me must have hid away, & I added a bit of Frankincense to the bottle. Frankincense helps even more with preventing wrinkles & adds a bit of a fragrance to the oil as well. I use theĀ dropper from the bottle and add little drops underneath my eyes & pat it around my under-eye before bed; if you use Argan oil youāll know that a little goes a long way so make sure you use a little bit each night!
These are my 5 steps in my skin care routine. It took me awhile to find out the perfect combination of steps to achieve clear skin so just remember everyone is different & you will find what works for you!
Iād like to know what are some of your favorite skin care products?
Thanks for stopping by!
