Spring Favorites from Forever21!
I can't be the only one counting down the days until Spring has officially sprung... especially with so many cute sundresses on the racks each time I go shopping. With fun floral and stunning little lace details, I'm gaga over almost every dress I try on this season. Dresses aren't the only way to embrace Spring though, with cute little shorts and a couple of rompers that are just too adorable, what's not to love about ditching the winter gear we've been lugging around and start loving the warmth and sunshine?!
Today I want to share a handful of my favorite Spring looks from Forever21! With so many cute items and such an awesome sale going on right (items start at just $3.99), I just can't get enough... I'm stocking up while I can still rock "normal" clothes, soon maternity will be my only option but luckily F21 carries items that I'll still be able to wear! That's the best part, whether you're thin or full-figured, under 21, or nearing a multiple of 21, Forever21 has a fun piece to add to your wardrobe this season.
1. This super cute Cami Dress is a dreamy way to stay comfortable!

Eat, Drink, & Be Merry with Libbey!
This post was sponsored by Libbey as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review
Now let's get to the fun part, I wanted to pair my foods with wines that were equally as delicious so I grabbed a Malbec-Syrah blend and Sauvignon Blanc and both bottles were a hit.
Since I had such delicious pairings, I also decided I needed to upgrade my stemware. I think when you finally decide to upgrade to gorgeous, reliable stemware like the Perfect Signature Collection from Libbey you finally have mastered "adulting".
These glasses are huge and that is absolutely perfect, I suppose you could say they're made for wine drinkers like me. Plus, the collection is so sturdy it will hold up to even your heaviest handed friend.
Here's an added bonus, since they're offering a 30% off incentive for the Libbey Perfect Signature Collection at Bed Bath and Beyond (find the store closest to you here) you can save big while upgrading to the finest stemware (made right here in America)! Here's how it works:
You'll start by going in-store to Bed Bath & Beyond and purchasing any glassware set from the Libbey Perfect Signature Collection - then, you'll head home and need to take a picture of how you celebrated with the Perfect Signature Collection and share it by January 30, 2016.
To gain an official twitter entry, you'll need to share a tweet showcasing your celebration! Don't forget to tag @LibbeyInc and include #CelebrateThis and to gain an official Facebook entry, you'll need to post a photo on the Libbey Facebook page. Now go ahead and sit back, relax, enjoy a glass of wine & wait for your 30% discount to arrive!
While it would be awesome to have a coupon for your initial purchase, I want to remind you - this is an incentive for your next purchase, not a coupon for your initial purchase. The discount applies to future purchases at retail.Libbey.com; not Bed Bath & Beyond.
Now that I've shared how I put together my super simple table with my awesome new wine glasses, I'd love to hear how you like to claim the title as the "hostess with the mostest"? Are you an excellent bartender or do you have a knack for secret santa gift selections? Tell me all about how you like to celebrate the holidays in the comments below!

My Travel Essentials: Everything a Girl Needs for a Getaway
This post is brought to you by Vera Bradley and Her Campus Media.
While I try to keep things simple, I tend to overpack... but everything I'm sharing today is included on my MUST HAVE list! Here's what I bring on every getaway and why:
My Kindle Fire so I can read and entertain myself during layovers or long hauls on the road... I'm totally guilty of getting lost in a book on a vacation and I love every single second of it.
My next must have is obvious - chapstick. Whether you're going somewhere sunny and need a little protection from a sunburn or your heading somewhere cold and need to soothe your chilled chapped lips, this is a necessity for everyday life really.
Another technology related must-have for all road trips - headphones! Not everyone wants to hear Drake busting out of your cell phone nor do they want the play-by-play from the episode of Teen Mom you're watching on Hulu. Go ahead and plug in a nice pair of COMFORTABLE headphones. Try on a few pairs and find what works best for you!
You'll probably also want to pack a journal with you, at least I always want one with me. As a creative person, you never know when a good idea will strike - you don't always have access to technology because those silly devices die, but usually a pencil (or pen, most of the time) is pretty reliable. Plus, if you see someone famous you can ask for their autograph... because who doesn't love fangirl-ing in the middle of an airport or hotel lobby?
Speaking of looking ratchet, I always bring at least 3 hair ties and a handful of bobby pins with me because my hair is naturally curly and in the right climate, no matter what I do, it's going to show off it's au-naturale look. While I love rocking my curls, sometimes... It's nice to be able to pull my hair out of my face and frankly, being stuck without a hair tie just isn't fun.
Something else I bring with me just in case is my travel water bottle with a built in filter. I refuse to pay airport prices for water, plus I never know how badly jetlag will hit so I make sure I always bring my travel water bottle with me and then fill it once I get to the airport!
Another lifesaver while on vacation is eye makeup remover. Whether I'm attending a wedding or just spending time with family - most likely I'm going to shed a tear or two, although it'll be from laughing too hard... With that said, I don't want mascara and eyeliner smears all over my face so I make sure I always have a stash of my favorite way to remove it all.
On the same page as eye make up remover, I also bring an acne treatment cream with me, just in case my skin decides it wants to work against me. After using a facial cleanser, I apply a dot of a treatment before bed and I typically can wake up without a blemish!
The last item I always make sure I bring is something that helps me stay fit. I know that my activity tracker and it's charger are two things that always accompany me while I'm on the go... I love being able to know how much I walk while I'm sight-seeing and finding out my calories burned for the day let's me know how much I can indulge in my favorite foods back home.

I'm Participating in No-Shave November: I Quit Shaving with my Flash&Go!
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #GiftSilkn #CollectiveBias
I don't have to worry about shaving all the time because I've started using the most amazing little device, the Flash&Go. What exactly is a Flash&Go? It's an innovative light-based device for permanent hair removal on the face & body, the perfect tool for a busy girl that wants a smooth body without having to put all the effort into shaving on the daily.
Plus, I no longer have to worry about pesky ingrown hairs or razor burn, a beach bum's worst nightmares! The Flash&Go is so easy to use, effective, and safe on sensitive skin, that's why I think it'll make the perfect gift for every woman, especially my besties.
Once I grabbed an extra Flash&Go with my Keep On Gifting gift card, I decided I wanted to make my bestie a gift basket full of items we both love. Since she's as much of a beach bum as I am I decided to make her a beach bag full of all the essentials.
I included the Flash&Go in her bag, of course, as well as all kinds of little goodies that I knew she would love. If you want to make your best bud a beach bag that'll make her smile you will need to grab a new sparkly bikini, some citrus scented sunscreen, a rad pair of sunglasses, a pretty little white pashmina, a trendy, floral headband, frilly, lacey shorts, a fun and fancy pair of flip flops, a handful of beach towels, and a beach bag! Now she'll be all set to rock the beach all year long, with hairless legs and all the essentials a girl needs.
Now that I've shared how you and your bestie can stop shaving and participate in No-Shave November with me, I'd love to hear what you think of handy new device in the comments below! What area of your body would you choose to treat first? Who in your life would you love to gift a hair removal device to this year? Don't forget about the awesome $25 gift card from KeeponGifting.com when you decide to surprise that special person!

DIY No-Sew Clutch Purse Tutorial + Be Healthy For Every Part of Life with These Date Night Essentials
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its
advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #BeHealthyForEveryPartofLife
#CollectiveBias
While I love my hubs, I also love fashion, so it comes as no surprise that I love handbags. After updating my main purse to a sturdy and adorable black and white number, I needed a place to keep all my date-night must haves; that's where this DIY No-Sew Clutch comes into the picture.
So what will you need to make a cute clutch like mine?
You will need:
Scissors
1/2 yard of a sturdy fabric
2 pieces of felt
Washable Fabric Glue
Step one of making this adorable little clutch is deciding on what piece of the pattern you want to use; or in my mind this was the logical first step... I'm going to be transparent here and admit I totally designed this purse based on the beautiful pattern. The size and shape are based purely on getting the full mandala on the backside of the purse... and I didn't take exact measurements until after it was made. With that said, I think that just means this project is that easy - you literally don't even need measurements. Regardless, my purse measures 8 inches x 12 inches.
After cutting your fabric, you'll want to make the "felt lining". To add my lining I simply cut about an inch off of each piece to make my purse interior and it's lining the size I desired. Placing the felt and folding the purse as if you were assembling it to make sure it's cut to the correct size.
After cutting it down and "testing" it to make sure it was the correct size, I used the fabric glue liberally and stuck the fabric to the felt.
The next step in this project is finalizing the outer seams of the purse. You'll want to apply a liberal line of glue down each outer edge and the middle/ bottom of the purse, as if you were using the glue as a sewing machine of sorts, sealing each edge. I allowed my project to dry with clothespins on the top "seam" for about an hour, to make sure no rough edges would show when the purse is closed.
The final step is adding in all of your purse essentials, now your little top-fold clutch is ready for date night!
So what are your date night essentials? I guess since I've shared my tutorial to make my cute little clutch, I should share what my date night essentials include... these must-have items are the things every gal should have stashed away in her purse in case of emergency, especially when going out on the town with her man!
First we'll start with the item in my clutch I love the most, my Chapstick Total Hydration. This 100% Natural, age defying, advanced nourishing formula with Argan oil, avocado butter, and rosehip oil is the best way to smooth and moisturize my lips! With a noticeable difference within minutes in the way my lips look, I would say that Chapstick Total Hydration is a new favorite for myself (and my hubby)... and just in case you were wondering, it is actually a clinically proven way to get healthier looking lips - not just my own little beauty secret!
Speaking of healthy, let's talk about the way we keep our immune systems nice and strong with Emergen-C. Offering more healthier days and more healthier nights, Emergen-C allows everyone to "let [their] healthy out". With a zingy orange flavor (as well as several other flavor options), I'm able to guzzle down over 20 varieties of vitamins in one drink, the perfect way to karate chop illness before it even gets to me and since I want hubby to remain healthy, I'm sure to always have an extra pack for him to sip on as well! No sneezing patrons at nearby tables, nor any adorable sniffling baby with a cold will threaten us with their germs, we'll just use an Emergen-C!
Next let's talk about Nexium 24HR, the #1 prescribed acid blocker brand (based on IMS health data: total Nexium® prescriptions 2006 - 2014). It's the answer to heartburn for us ol' married folk and it's been just what we needed more times than I can count. These tiny little pills offer all day, all night heartburn protection. But please note, they do sometimes take 1-4 days to offer the full effect and as always, use as directed.
Lastly, let's talk about the pain reliever that's been helping all of us deal with aches and pains for the past 25 years - Advil. I make sure I always have a little Advil Tablet Vial in my clutch at all times, because you never know when a headache or sore muscles will sneak up on you. I don't want hubby or myself to suffer from pain so I'm always stocked up on the strongest OTC pain reliever, because I know Advil is the only way to make sure the aches and pains go away quickly.
So as you can expect, our date was awesome. With all of the date night essentials on-hand we were able to ward off chapped lips, a head ache, and hand cramps from paddling too much...
Now don't get any ideas, we went out on the kayak for a few hours and just enjoyed spending time together out on the water with the sunshine on our faces. We also spent a little bit of time shopping and then chowed down on a delicious lunch at one of our favorite spots near by the mall. Simple, but the perfect little date with the perfect guy for me.
Whether you are planning a date, heading off to the first day on a new job, or just spending the evening in and watching a movie... It's good to be healthy for every part of life, so be sure to stock up on all the essentials for your family at Walmart!
So tell me, what do you bring with you on date night with your man? Is there any lipstick shade that you need to have in your bag? Also, if you decide to make one of these adorable little clutches, I'd love to see how it turns out, be to share it with me!
