BEAUTY BABBLE// FUNCTION OF BEAUTY 3 MONTH UPDATE

I have been using function of beauty shampoo and conditioner for 3 months now and have seen the benefits from the customized formula. I found this shampoo and conditioner through Instagram and thought it would be fun to try.

DIY DISTRESSED DENIM

When I can wear jeans at work, I wear jeans with no holes because I still want to look professional (a previous school I worked at allowed jeans, but none ...

SUNSET LOVIN’

Sunsets during spring and summer are one my favorite things. I love when the sun sets later and our days are longer. There is nothing more relaxing than going for a walk while the sun sets. Plus that glow from the sunset is pretty dreamy! After a day hanging out by the pool, I slipped into this comfy maxi dress and went sans makeup for the rest of the evening. I found this maxi dress at Target a few weeks ago. The price tag said it was its ...
