Happy Thursday Loves!

I say it every.damn.week, but thank GOD it is almost the weekend. I am so ready for the weekend!

I only have a few things on the agenda, I am getting my hair cut and colored. So yay!! That being said, I am in a conundrum of what to do. I am kind of just over my hair, but I know if I cut it, it will just be a countdown of how long it takes me to grow back out again.

I am taking suggestions, so PLEASE if you have any throw them my way!

Also, my entire family is going to a screening of the new movie Wonder. My nephew was born with a craniofacial condition. We are so lucky to live in a city like Boston, where he has had access to amazing Dr.s that have performed live changing surgeries. As a family every year we walk and raise money for a great charity Paces for Faces . Their mission is to provide patients and families with the most accurate, up-to-date, and accessible information about facial conditions,

and to advocate for the best care possible for children with facial conditions. Throughout the year they host events for the families affected by these conditions, this screening of Wonder is one of them. I am especially excited because this was one of the Summer reading books Nolan and I read.

This Look

One of my biggest pet peeves is not coordinating a jacket or coat to finish a look. I remember in my early twenties looking at girls out at bars and clubs wearing dresses only to be covered in a north face fleece...NO! The wrong coat or jacket can really ruin a look, as can the right one create or make a look. Over the years I have kept a lot of my clothes simple white experimenting with my outer wear.

This brings me to my starry bomber. The deep rich peacock color is what originally caught my eye, but the quilted star print and stripe of metallic glitter on the cuff really sealed the deal. Simply styled with a tee and distressed jeans, it is a cute and practical mid-fall look!

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Again, open to any and all hair suggestions, please and thank you!

Rodan Fields Lash Boost

Hey Lovelies!

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. While mine was all kinds of crazy and fun, I have not been feeling well for a few days, so I have been laying low. Also, my mom has been fighting a nasty bout of pneumonia and has ended up in the hospital too, so we are off to a great week.

*This is by no means a sponsored post*

I am not being compensated in any way, nor am I a Rodan Fields consultant. I have used their skin products for a little over three years. While I enjoy them, I am not a huge fan of multi-level marketing brands. This is my opinion of course, it just seems if the product is so good why are they not sold in stores? I think the answer to that is they would have to lessen the price and spend on ad campaigns. With multi-level marketing they don't have to do that. There are teams of people texting and posting on social media all day about their limited time offers and if you don't act soon this product you can't live without will go away forever!!!! Also, if I am paying 180 for a regimen and my consultant and her team make a profit as well as whoever she works under, and anyone they work under, so on and so forth, how much is the product actually worth?

Ok, now you know my brutal opinion about multi-level marketing, I will tell you my honest review of this product. Get it!! there is nothing like it! Ok, seriously, I have fairly long eyelashes but they are certainly not as long or as thick as they used to be. I toyed with the idea of possibly getting eyelash extensions, but they are pretty expensive and the upkeep seems to be something I would struggle to keep up with. I kept seeing posts on social media regarding lash boost and having it suggested by my consultant I thought I would give it a try. I broke down and decided to purchase it because they were having a sale and I was going to get 20% off. Turns out, so many people were ordering because of the sale, the computers were down (what are the odds?). So my consultant would have to order it full price and she would send my a free gift (eye roll).

I wasn't sure what to expect when it arrived. It comes in what looks like a mascara tube. You use it ever night after your skin routine and before bed. Brush this clear liquid across your top lash line and wait... and wait... and wait...

It definitely took a few weeks for me to notice anything, then one day I woke up and my lashes were so long and super thick and frankly, gorgeous, LOL!! Lash Boost certainly has gone far and above my expectations. If you order it from the website direct it is $150, through a consultant if you are a preferred costumer it is $140. At first I thought it was a little steep, but consider the cost of extensions. Extensions run anywhere from $150- $300 initially and $80 for refills suggested every two weeks. I have been using the same tube of Lash Boost since May, that is pretty cost effective.

Have you tried Lash Boost or any similar products? What are your thoughts?
