New Year's Eve is now SO close that you can literally taste the champagne flowing, hear the end-of-year playlists playing and also have the possibility of finding tons of glitter or confetti wherever you step. If you're like me, you can find all of these quite fun - because who doesn't love the chance to sparkle + shine while you're celebrating! I wanted to share five ways to do just that tomorrow night, including everything that you will need to ring in 2017 with a dash of glitter. Make sure you've got the right wine, a few of your friends, some delicious food and you'll be ready to party. Who knows, you may even be able to wear any of these all year long!
1. A showstopping dress -  ASOS CURVE Mermaid Embellished Shift Dress ($69): The name of this dress says it all! Feel like a mermaid while dancing the night away with the absolute perfect length sleeve + hem. I'm loving the relaxed fit and the all-over embellished sequins!




It's almost that time! Time to get spruced up and fancy for whatever celebrations you're going to be apart of for New Year's Eve! Since I've already shared what outfits I recommend for your bash, here are some beauty tips that will get you in the mood to celebrate. I'm a bit obsessed with sparkle and shine at this time of year, so bear with me that all of the products have some type of shimmer to them. I know I'll be decorating my nails and eyelids with some type of gold or glitter when I start getting ready tomorrow night. Shop all the products below, and let me know what your New Year's Eve festivities are going to be! Hope it's something fun. xoxo

SHINE ON 

Fall Color Style Palette | Poppy Citrine Blossom | West End Wonderland Polish | White Jasmine & Mind Body Lotion | Rouge Coco Shine | Raspberry Glazed Lip Shine | Tory Burch Body Lotion | YSL Golden Gloss Set | Miss Dior Eau de Toilette | Compact Shine On | Essie Luxeffects Topcoat | YSL Pure Chromatics

One of my smaller 'resolutions' for this new year was to embrace wearing natural-like makeup that would reflect my skin and tone better. I don't normally wear a lot of makeup, but that has mostly been because I have not wanted to put in the effort or have been able to afford quality products. With samples that I've received through family and friends, I've actually been testing different eye shadows, mascaras, and glosses for my lips. The items that have been given to me are ones that highlight and accentuate my eye color and my lip tone, which have been super helpful and fun to try. These products also 'shine' when they are used, haha. I believe that a hint of shine on your face can be a great effect and doesn't have to be unflattering. With these beauty items you can control how much shine you want and make yourself look flawless. Shine also doesn't have to be just in makeup, it can be in your perfume or even your nail polish! So, I hope you enjoy some of my recommendations and incorporate it into your beauty routine this year.

Happy Monday y'all!

Hope your weekend was great. I had to work both Saturday and Sunday, but it was good because I found out that I am going to be Employee of the Month for August! It makes me feel great to know I am doing something right there and that hard work does pay off.

I'm SO EXCITED right now because I can finally let you know about this collaboration I have been working on with Erisha A. of A Thing Created! She is SO absolutely talented and she does these amazing illustrations, which I only wish I could have the hand for. For our first collab, we decided on doing an all things 'sparkle and shine' with an added bonus of the items being under $100! I can always go with a deal and there are so many great jewelry sites out there that are inexpensive and offer gorgeous products. With a little inspiration from BaubleBar, my idea for this post, and her fantastic mind she came up with this fabulous lady. Aaaamazing! I feel so honored that she approached me about this, and I can't wait to see what else we can work on together. Make sure to go check out her site, and let me know what you think about this collaboration! In the meantime, check out this inspiration board that says you can never have too much bling in your life.
