I can’t live without it.
I’m already contemplating which lipstick to wear tomorrow night. I think the whole DFA roster calls for several lip changes.

After blush and lipstick, I think my biggest weakness is Trader Joe’s. Every time I go, I fill my cart up with fruit (they charge by the piece, not the pound so I always pick the biggest fruit I can find), cheese and crackers, mochi ice cream, and basically everything dipped or covered in chocolate. I’m wrist-deep in a container of TJ peanut butter cups right now.
Their beauty aisle isn’t anything to scoff at either…
My heart aches for those affected by Oklahoma’s horrific tornado and I can write from personal experience when I tell you that physical and emotional devastation from a natural disaster lingers long after the storm passes.

I’m a terrible juggler which might explain why I can handle putting together a good, albeit plain OOTD and perfect makeup, but my four-day-old hair needs some serious attention.

Hello! I'm looking at quite a few camping and backpacking trips this summer. Clearly, I won't wear any makeup, but a girl still needs to wash her face! Anything I use must be unscented so as to not attract bugs or animals in the backcountry. Any suggestions?
Sounds like your summer is shaping up quite nicely! Here are a few of my favorite travel-friendly, synthetic fragrance-free cleansing options:
1) Bioderma ($8.06 for 100mL)
2) Josie Maran Bare Naked Wipes ($12 for 30 wipes)
3) Fresh Umbrian Clay Treatment Bar ($38 for 7.8 oz) - I know it sounds like a crazy option, but this one bar is a one-thing-does-it-all cleansing machine made solely from umbrian clay and Fuller’s earth. It could very well be the only soap you need for face and body the entire time you’re camping and you don’t have to worry about it taking up too much space or leaking in your backpack.
Happy trails to you!
