Helping women love what they wear on a budget

February is a month all about love! Love for your spouse or significant other, love for your family, love for your children. But what about love for yourself? As moms, I think we often forget the importance of self-love and taking care of one’s self. I practice self-love just by taking care of myself both mentally and physically. Today I want to share how I practice self-love with my daily mom beauty routine.

Favorite Beauty Finds of 2021

December 31, 2021 by Katie Haller

A round up of my favorite beauty finds of 2021

 

As much as I love sharing clothes, I also love sharing my beauty finds.  That’s why at the end of every year I always like to do a review of my favorite beauty finds from the year.  This year I bought a lot of repeats of my favorite beauty products, but I also made a few new purchases that I wanted to share today.  I will also go through a couple of misses that I didn’t love at the end of the post.

My Everyday Skincare Routine with Maelove

My Everyday Skincare Routine with Maelove
*Thank you to Maelove Skincare for sponsoring this post and gifting me these products!  All opinions are 100% my own.  This post contains affiliate links.

Over the last few years, I have made it a point to make my skincare routine a priority in my life.  I used to be the girl who thought a quick makeup wipe before bed was all you needed, but as I got older I realized just how important a good skincare routine can be.  I now look forward to my skincare routine every day.  It’s a form of self-care for me and it only takes a few minutes out of my day.

Instagram Made Me Buy It! Are They Worth The Hype??

January 28, 2021 by Katie Haller

*This post contains affiliate links.

Have you ever been influenced to buy something because of Instagram?  I have!  Instagram has a big influence on me and what products I choose to buy.  I’ll admit, I’m a hard sell.  I don’t just go out and buy everything I see, but some things get hard to ignore.  That’s when I just need to try them out for myself.

2020 Beauty Products Review

January 8, 2021 by Katie Haller

Favorite beauty products of 2020

*This post contains affiliate links

Just like I shared my favorite clothes purchases of 2020 (Read about that HERE), I wanted to round up and review some of my beauty purchases of the year.  I know that many people might think that 2020 wasn’t the best year to be buying many beauty products since most of us spent the year at home, but for me, 2020 was all about beauty products, especially makeup.  Doing my makeup helped me get through the year.  It made me feel good about myself and helped give me some normalcy in my life during all the chaos of 2020.

Does your family do family photos in the fall? 🍂

We have never done family photos but every year I get asked for recommendations for affordable family photo outfits. I always think @oldnavy is a great place to find affordable family photo outfits. It’s easy to mix and match the colors and prints with your whole family. Plus they always are at great prices! 

Here’s what I tried on…
🍂V-neck sweater (small) This sweater is super soft and perfect to wear with skirts!
🍂Faux leather skirt (xs) This skirt is actually breathable and very comfortable! 
🍂Black slip skirt (xs) A slip skirt is on my wishlist for fall. It’s so versatile and cute! 
🍂 Burgundy floral midi dress (xs) I love the color and fit of this dress. The material is lightweight so it’s a perfect dress if you live somewhere warm. 
🍂Flatter sleeve midi dress (small)- I love the fit and flare style on this dress! 
🍂Square neck midi dress (xs) I actually really loved the style of this dress, despite the fact that you would need to wear a strapless bra with the dress!
