Hey Royals!!!
In case you didn't know, 
one of my favorite places to go is Home Goods!
And pulling in to a close second, is:
Ulta Beauty Superstore!
A few days ago, I went to both! 
Fun Fact:
I went to Home Goods to get soap
(I love the variety of soaps there)
Did quite a bit of shopping...
Forgot the soap!
Here's what I did grab!

Candles are the way to my heart!
Walking down the candle aisle makes me so happy!
I seek out candles that come with a cap or cover.
I feel like it keeps the scent a lot longer.
Soft aromas always win me over!
​I look forward to their sweet fragrance overcoming my castle!

Home Goods features a few aisles of Gourmet Foods!
I like to browse and pick up items that sound like they taste good!
You know what I mean?! Lol
Look at these Hot Drink mixes--
Almost anything with Caramel makes me swoon!
And who could neglect a Classic Vanilla?!
Also, these SnickerDoodle Cookies sounded Delish!
I had to try them!
Friendly Suggestion:
Don't go hungry!!!
That's the reason why the bag of Gourmet Cheddar Cheese Popcorn
that I purchased couldn't be pictured here.
It was done before I got home!

I felt like this book was reaching out to me and I had to grab it!
Late last year, I started to journal..
I had never journaled before and
it's the only way to get some of my deepest thoughts out of my head
without the risk of exposure.
Some of my entries do turn into little prayers.
So I figured, I could use this book solely for the prayers.
Each page also features a poignant verse.

I made a pit stop at Ulta Beauty Superstore!
I can't get enough lip colors!
Eager to try NYX's New Lingerie Collection, 
I purchased two nudes:
HoneyMoon 
(It's my perfect nude, I'm wearing it in that picture above)
Beauty Mark
(It's a dark, natural pink)
The third lip color is
NYX Xtreme Shine Lip Cream: Skin Tone
(A pinky peach... A little too bright for now.)
The last time I went to Ulta, I purchased the Brow Definer from
Anastasia Beverly Hills.
I did that ALL from the HYPE of other beauty bloggers.
#Disaapointed
So I went back for my trusty Brow Wiz in Soft Brown.

I hope you enjoyed my little haul!
Oh and my outfit is all from
Forever21
(a few seasons ago)

See you Soon!
Are you following me on Instagram, Facebook & SnapChat?!

Hola Royals!
What do you do when your truck is literally 
buried in snow?
Take a trip out of the country!
There's nothing like beach front property to
erase thepain of the blizzard back home!
Let's relive it's beauty & tranquility together through my pix!
Scroll & Read 

Yes, my vacation was spent with
my special someone...
​You'll meet him soon!
​*girly giggle*

By the end of the trip, 
I googled the weather back home and 
I questioned coming back to NY!
​
Needless to say:
I feel rejuvenated, 
I feel loved, 
I feel like going back!
