Hey friends and happy August! While summer is winding down, there is still an event to round out an action packed summer. Some may say that the best is even saved for last, so get excited for the Summer 2019 Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale!
The After Party Sale occurs twice per year and is the only time that Lilly Pulitzer marks down prices online. And they go BIG on the discounts – with most sale prices 60% or more off the original price! High-quality dresses, cardigans, workout gear and more, are available a significantly reduced price during the short time period for this sale.
Traditionally the summer sale has more inventory than the winter sale as well, so there’s a lot to cover! Plus a little peek of Lilly Pulitzer for Target 2019!
When one of my good friends announced she was getting married in the Dominican Republic, we were excited to attend the celebration and visit the white sandy beaches in the Caribbean. Unfortunately, soon after the announcement of her wedding plans, the news started reporting several American’s deaths occurring in the Dominican Republic resorts. We did our research on the situation and made an educated decision to proceed forward in our travel plans given our resort had prestigious reviews that had verified their safety and high standards. After four days in the Dominican I can say we are very happy with our decision, and we had a wonderful stay with our friends adventuring in the Dominican Republic.
It’s so easy to let time go by before realizing it’s been awhile since I gave my makeup brushes some TLC and cleaned them. Developing a frequent makeup brush cleaning schedule helps to harvest away the growth of harmful fungi and bacteria, such as E. coli and Staph, that can otherwise wreak havoc on your beautiful complexion. By cleaning your makeup brushes every 7-10 days you can decrease the risk of infection and inflammation, and increase that beautiful glow. With a little insight from the American Academy of Dermatology, let’s talk about how to clean your makeup brushes.
How to Clean Your Makeup Brushes:
Rinse the brush head under faucet.
Prepare your cleaning area. Use a makeup brush cleaning mat in the sink or fill a small bowl with water.
Using a small amount baby shampoo or facial wash, clean the brushes. If using a mat, gently scrub the brush head across the textured surface of the mat under a stream of water. If using a bowl, swirl the brush tip around in the bowl then place under the water faucet.
Continue rinsing under the faucet until the water runs clear.
Blot brushes dry.
Lay out your brushes to dry horizontally. Leaving them upright to dry can cause the water to drip down, damaging the glue adhesive on the brush head. Place brushes on a towel or clean drying rack, some even use a baking drying rack.
I use this silicone makeup brush cleaning mat because it’s easy and effective. The back of the mat has little suction cups to attach inside the sink. After use, I will rinse it off throughly and store away after it is dried.
This past week Michael and I packed up our wagon and went out west – well, our Jeep wagon that is! Michael grew up on a farm outside of a small town in West Texas, where the stars gaze and the cattle graze. It was a trip back home to visit his parents and we had fun exploring his hometown and the surrounding area. Today I’m sharing a few of my favorite destinations while discovering West Texas.
I hope everyone had an amazing weekend! Ours was busy between work, but we had plenty of time to enjoy each other’s company before taking Michael to the airport today.
Some of my favorite posts to read from others are their recommended Amazon products. Reading these has opened me up to try new things and discover great products to use around the house! I compiled a list of some of my tried-and-true Amazon favorites. Gosh, it was hard to narrow this list down as I have so many favorites! And since tomorrow starts Amazon Prime Day, there is also an abbreviated list of highlighted deals!
I’m always looking for recommended Amazon finds, so please share yours in the comments below.
