Ingredients:

1. Spinach

2. Pomegranate 

3. Walnuts

4. Goat Cheese,

 I prefer the one dressed in herbs

5. Cilantro

Mix up your lovely salad

Dress with Strawberry Poppyseed Dressing 

Balsamic would also work well too

Beauty Essentials

Beauty Essentials

After years of trial and error with makeup, I have found what works best for me. This is my list of top daily beauty items and the reasons I so adore them!

Aveeno BB Cream: Acne prone skin people know all too well the tales of heavy foundation only making our skin so much worse, Aveeno provides a foundation that is medium coverage, 30 SPF, and will clear up your skin instead of aggravating it. While I love trying new foundations I always come back to my true and trusted.

Stila Perfecting Concealer: A full coverage creamy, crease-less, concealer that will cover your pores and not leave them aggravated. 

Urban Decay Primer Potion(Eden): My favorite eye shadow primer, it has so much coverage it could even be used as concealer for your eye area. I always use it before my under eye concealer to ensure it stays put all day.

Stila Eye Shadow(Kitten): For that "yes I did just step out of an enchanted forest look" this eyeshadow has the perfect silky shimmery effect.

NYX Tinted Brow Mascara: The best cheaper dupe for "Benefit Gimme Brow" just swipe on and eyebrows are "on fleek" or whatever the kids are saying these days.

NYX Eyeshadow(Epic): Purple eye liner is my favorite and with a liner brush you get the most effortless soft look with this eye shadow.

Tarte Amazonian Clay Matte Bronzer(Park Princess): The women at Ulta literally described it to me  as "the best matte bronze for even the most pale of people". I always feared bronzer for that horrid sharp muddy look, but this formula is so blend able and build able. 

Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush(Sweet): For that golden peachy summer loving look this blush is my favorite!

Elizabeth Arden Mascara(Black): I only ever used drugstore mascara because I thought there was no difference, but let me tell you this mascara gives you the perfect false eyelashes look without that horrid gluing process.

Elizabeth Arden Lipstick(Desert Rose), Liner(Sugared Kissed), and Gloss(Petal): First the naming of the products are beautiful and second this combo gives the best nude lip look.

Marc Jacobs Perfume(Daisy): My signature perfume, floral, delicate, and timeless

CoverGirl Loose Foundation Powder: Best drugstore face powder and it has that ever lovely covergirl scent.

Lush Hand Cream(Love and Light): Best for winter hands and has the most amazing scent in the world all thanks to the proven serotonin(good mood hormone) boosting herb within it called Neroli. 

Finally the fashion finishing touches
