Happy Saturday, Baby Dolls!
This week went by so crazy fast. Did anyone else feel like that? Crazy! The older I get the faster time flies.. Anyway, With Texas and Oklahoma weather being all over the place every other day I am thankful for some consistent chill, for now…. I may be taking back my words when I land in New York City on Monday and am frozen, but for now I am loving the cold. I bought this jacket early December and it has been a “go-t0” for me ever since. I had always wanted a white fur looking jacket like this but didn’t want to “go broke” while trying to be cute and cozy! When I found this one and tried it on in-store I couldn’t let it go. There were a few that I liked, similar, but I love hoods so this one was the ticket! When I purchased it it was full price but lucky for you, it’s on sale now too for $27.99!
SUCH A STEAL. GET IT!
(I like things fitting a little looser so I got a large.)
On a different note, I wanted to touch on my makeup. That is one thing I am constantly asked about so I am going to try and add a “shop my face” to every fashion/beauty post I do! One of my new years resolutions is to wear less makeup. I know many of you who have followed me for any time at all whether that be on Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat, have been able to tell over the last few weeks! Some of my close friends have even commented on it before I even said anything to them about it! Which surprisingly made me so happy!
A resolution to wear less makeup, may sound silly to some people especially because if you know me at all you know I LOVE.. I mean LOVEEEE makeup. For me, makeup has always just been something fun to play in and try new looks with. [I remember begging my mom at 5 years old to play in her makeup and it’s been a love affair every since.] I am obsessed with false eyelashes, bronzer, lipstick, concealer… just everything! I love it. I have so much fun sitting in my room alone painting my face, because at the end of the day it really is a form of art. Lately though I have kind of felt that I needed to “loosen the reigns” on my makeup days. It kind of started getting to the point where if I was putting on makeup it was either an intense lip, falsies, packed powder and sparkly eyeshadows or nothing at all! I mean zero to 100 real quick (real quick). All that to say, I just felt like the Lord really put it on my heart to just embrace my natural beauty more this year and not feel like I needed to be ready to walk the runway every time I left my house.
Did I say that I wanted to stop wearing makeup and that it’s bad? NO NO NO. Do I want to wear less of it on a day to day basis this year and embrace my natural beauty more? YES!! Am I still going to get all dolled up every now and then? UM, DUH?! Just not as religiously as I did this year haha!!
So often in life it’s easy to trick ourselves into thinking that we aren’t pretty unless we do this, or do that- but in reality we are all made in the Lord’s imagine and He, the Creator of the universe, made each and everyone of us beautiful. No matter how young or old you are. Even though there will be times that I am still going to get all “glammed” up and pack on the makeup I want to make a point to really embrace my natural beauty this year!
You should do it with me!!
With all that being said, I want to link the products I use for my everyday natural look here:
These are the only three products that I am wearing in the pictures above. (Lip color: Wine)
XOXO, VLE
