What to Pack When Visiting Dublin, Ireland


I can't believe we've almost been in Dublin for a month! Unfortunately, we are still living out of our suitcases until our other stuff arrives (which is hopefully soon). There are things that I'm so glad I packed and happy that I can use now and things that I wish I would've packed, that I currently don't have just yet. So whether you've been to Dublin, or plan to go in the future, I put together a list of items that I would suggest bringing when visiting!

5 Benefits of a Simplistic Make-Up Routine


Make-Up. Ah, what a fun thing that we get to play around with! I love the idea that make-up gets to enhance our natural features, however I hate when we discredit our own natural beauty when we "don't have our face on."

At one point, I was covered in bumps underneath my chin that hurt and I knew some changes had to be made -- externally and internally. While I still get break outs now, these products along with some other internal changes have helped reduce my acne tremendously!
