  I'm all about drink coolers.  I can never drink my drink fast enough and in the summer especially who wants warm beer?  I've had Corkcicle and Rtic ones before and they work for a short period of time, but not as long as I'd like them to.  Enter Brumate.  I had seen lots of influencers on Instagram talking about them, namely @tiarachel91 .  I decided to try it and went with the Trio.  It can accomodate a regular can if you use the ice pack piece, a tall craft can or you can use it with the lid it comes with.  I absolutely love it.  It keeps my drinks colder much longer and I love all the colors.  There is a style for everyone I swear.  I have heard friends tell me they love the slim style for the Truly and White Claw cans.   Brumate is offering 15% off sitewide this weekend for MDW with code BRUSALE15

I have really fine hair and am constantly switching between shampoo and conditioner brands because so many make my hair oily and weigh it down.  This is the first shampoo and conditioner that doesn’t!  I love the smell.  It is a light cherry blossom, but not too perfume smelling.  And their website advertises their products are free of Parabens, Sulfates, Phthalates, Animal Testing, Animal Cruelty, Animal Derived Ingredients.   Count me in!  Once you get the bottles they also sell convenient refill bags.  You can find it at Ulta , Amazon , or NatureLab 's website.

 So Kate Spade recently had one of their Surprise sales.  Who can pass up 75% off?!  And I do honestly try to purchase from them during their sales and save some money.  I found an adorable bag and ordered it.  It took a while to come in, but I didn't care too much.  I know the sales slow down delivery, etc.  So it was a medium size bag I ordered, light pink tote.  The box gets here and it's HUGE.  So I'm assuming they did a really great job packing it.   I open it and it's not the bag I ordered.  It's this huge red polka dotted tote bag, not my style at all.  So I contact customer service and I basically get back a response like "Oh that's disappointing you got the wrong bag and the one you ordered is all sold out.  We're not doing exchanges either because of the sale.  So here's a label to send the wrong bag back."  BUH BYE.   I've bought from them for a long time now and I'm so disappointed in t...

  I bought these to try as I don’t drink nearly enough water even on days I work out.  I’ve seen them advertised all over and you can buy them on their direct site, amazon, etc.  I went with the passion fruit flavor, but the acai berry also sounded good.  It’s simple.  Mix one packet into 16 oz of water.  It doesn’t change the color of your water, but instead makes it sort of cloudy.  My one surprise was how salty it was.  I understand the science behind it and that there needs to be sodium, but I expected it to be more sweet than salty.  Next time I am going to try diluting it more and see if that helps.

Lets all plan some trips finally!  I have never owned packing cubes and never thought I needed them.  But this set was only $17.99.  I took it on a recent weekend trip and it made functioning with a duffel bag so much easier.  It’s 3 cubes, 3 different sized laundry pouches, and a shoe bag.  The cubes expand much larger than I thought they would and it definitely kept me more organized.  You can get them here .

Just trust me and get this, okay?  As someone who works evening/night shifts, I always have bags under my eyes.  I had always just bought drugstore concealer and it was okay, until I found this.  Literally, the best coverage ever.  No more eye bags.  Even covers scars flawlessly.  Full size is $27, but if you’re unsure on shade, the travel size version is $10.  It comes in 35 colors.  You can get it right on Tarte , but I know they carry it at Ulta and Amazon as well.  

 Hey all! Looking to start posting some lifestyle content, but mostly reviews on things I purchase.  I realized I love hearing reviews on what other people buy before I purchase things.  I often see people post things though saying they would never purchase something a blogger or influencer advertises.  And I hear that.  But I have before and I've found some cool things that way.  So I'll be posting what I buy and whether I like it or not.   And if you have something you've been hesitant to buy because you saw someone advertise it, send it my way.  I'll try it and be honest!
