TGIF! The first week of 2015 is officially over. Here’s what I’m loving this year so far!
I just got 3 new Red Brick candles – the entire Loft collection, actually. And I have to say, they do not disappoint. I started burning no. 3 (lush purple and white lilac coupled with jasmine and sweet vanilla) and the amazing fresh, but warm scent filled the entire room within minutes. As a serious candle lover, I have definitely found my new favorite. What’s even better is that Red Brick Candle donates ten percent of every dollar they make to community development and urban revitalization efforts in the U.S., with a special focus on the arts and education initiatives in their hometown of Atlanta, GA. Talk about a win-win!
I couldn’t be more excited for my upcoming trip to Hawaii! I’ll be landing on Kauai on February 2. I can’t wait to spent 8 days in paradise! I really don’t know how people live in cold weather like this. I have been shopping for bathing suits and beachwear for the trip, so I think that’s making it even worse. February 2nd can’t come soon enough! If you’ve been to Hawaii, I’d love suggestions on what to do and where to go! In a dream world, I’d wear these picks from !
I just started using (pictured above) and I am in love. The name doesn’t even being to do this perfection justice. It is the most flawless application I have ever experienced. I used it for liquid foundation and I’m not sure if that’s what it’s intended for or not but I don’t care. It’s amazing!!

Maybe it is because everything on my counter is constantly covered in a fine mist of dry shampoo and hairspray but I just can’t seem to make my little bathroom counter set up look as pretty as yours. Maybe I should add a plant. Who knows!

Haha! My bathroom isn’t this clean – this is my beauty counter in my room (see it better here: http://www.lushtoblush.com/glamorous-spaces-at-home/). I have to keep everything separate so it doesn’t get too crowded! I honestly need a whole separate room for all my stuff though, ha!

Wow! It IS the first full week of 2015. So. Weird. Welcome to The Blogging Elite! Hawaii will be sooo nice. Last night my mom and I were so cold that we looked up the weather in places further North than us to make us feel better about being in 18° weather. And then we looked up the weather in Hawaii to see how warm it was there. It’ll be nice and warm for you.
Megan

I know – crazy! Yeah, I’ve been looking at weather in Hawaii like every day now (added it to my weather screen on my phone, lol). I need to go like now!! Ah, I can’t wait to be warm!

Oh how fun!! Definitely bring stuff that can be worn a lot/in different ways so you keep your packing light! I haven’t started packing yet, but I really want to. I just can’t wait! All my summer clothes are in boxes too though so it might be a bit of a pain to go through it all. Have fun in Punta Cana!
