Today I wanted to give you all another update to our house situation. Most of what I want to share with you all at this point is in the video, though, but I still just wanted to say a quick couple words to go along with this post. I do have a larger following over on YouTube--at this point--so I get a lot more comments from my lovely subscribers over there--even though I do more posting over here on the blog--but I never want to leave any of you out, so I always do a post, too, to go along with any video I upload! Listen.. listen, friends: it's best to just follow me all over so you don't miss anything... sometimes I leave little notes on Facebook or Instagram that won't be seen here... and I just started SnapChat, so perhaps quick updates will start being easier from there rather than an entire YouTube video or blog post about a small update...

June & July Favs - Monthly Beauty Buys & House Update

This post will focus on my favourites from the past two months--June & July--but I just first want to give you guys a little update on the house situation.

Dupe, Not a Dupe - NARS vs Maybelline | Matte Foundations

I heard, from somewhere in the blogging/YouTube world, that the Maybelline Dream Velvet Foundation was a dupe for the NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint, so I decided to put that to the test. Having already purchased the NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint, I was looking for something similar that cost less anyway, so I could extend my more expensive product by wearing the cheaper version on days when I'm not doing anything special but still want to feel put together. So what did I think? Watch the video to find out!

DIY Inspirations - Accent Chair

This is a project I have been thinking about for a while - not quite a year yet but pretty close to. Victor found this great chair sitting out in the lane behind our place where garbage pick-up is, and he thought it was pretty cool but in rough shape. Once I saw it I knew instantly it could be turned into an amazing piece once re-finished, so he brought it home for me. I know I want to turn it into an accent chair for our living room so I've pulled together some inspirations to inspire me, and hopefully inspire you guys as well in your own accent chair DIY projects. First, let's take a look at the gem of a chair we found in someone's garbage; "One person's trash is another person's treasure"... or it will be...
