Making The Most Of Black Friday Shopping At Target #MyKindOfHoliday

Nov 29

It’s that time of year again. Black Friday shopping has begun, already. This year many retailers have opened their doors early and given shoppers a head start. At this time last year I would typically be struggling to stay awake, still shuffling through my lists, and hitting people’s ankles repetitively with my cart as I browsed each aisle like a walking zombie. Not this year. For the first time I headed straight to Target to begin my shopping and made it out in under the normal 5-7 hours. Yes I calculated this given my experience two years ago! It was a breeze this time around and much less stressful. Target had their ad out ahead of time which made it easy for early birds like myself to get organized.

Discover Your Favorite Holiday Scents This Season! #SuaveScents

Nov 20

The holidays bring upon so many wonderful traditions, memories, and festive scents. During this time of year you will find a several fragrant candles and diffusers scattered within my house. I love anything Frosted Cranberry and how it fills each room with a soft touch of sweetness. It’s crisp and welcoming. As soon as guests arrive they walk into a delicious wave of sugared fruity-ness. When I close my eyes I picture a room full of family and endless smiles. This scent will always remind me of Thanksgiving dinner and setting up the Christmas tree afterwards. There is something special about holiday scents. It isn’t because of the cute packaging but more of how it allows us to reminisce and remember the important moments. Isn’t it amazing that a single scent can ignite a spark of vivid memories and happy thoughts? Our nose is one powerful tool!

It’s the one day out of the year where everyone comes together to share what they are thankful for and appreciate what we have.

Perfect Your Pout For The Holidays With Sephora & VIB Shopping Event This Month!

Nov 04

This week I took the time to browse the newest and existing gift sets Sephora has to offer during the holidays online and in store. I’ve been gravitating towards lip products lately and noticed that they have so many gift sets from brands that I love. Each year I pick up a few of their Sephora Favorite’s Fragrance Samplers because they make great gifts for any age or gender. Last Christmas I purchased one for my mom and my boyfriend because I always spend hours deciding what scent they would like best. With this gift set they were able to smell several samples and redeem for a full sized fragrance of their choice. Such an awesome concept when people are difficult to shop for!

Love is in the air. Everywhere I look around..

The Fall wedding season is officially in full swing. Colorful leaves are coating the ground, hot days are starting to cool down, and beautiful earthy tones have begun to surround us. This is the ideal time to take advantage of the gorgeous weather and tie your long awaited nuptials outdoors! As the big day approaches there are quite a few celebrations that take place before and in between. Traditionally these include the bachelor/bachelorette party, engagement party, rehearsal dinner, and bridal shower for the lovely bride. While I love to part-ay with my girlfriends, I get giddy when it’s my turn to host or attend a shower. Who doesn’t love dressing up, drinking girly drinks, nibbling on little sandwiches, and socializing with friends? I do! I also enjoy lending a helping hand when it comes to decorating and pulling a theme together. This is why I have taken upon the task of bridal shower planner for my wonderful mother. With the help of Target, I am ready to take the bull by the horns on this one. Let the planning, baking, making, creating, and decorating begin!
