This is one of my most popular YouTube vids (at over 200 views lol!), so I thought I would share it on the blog if you missed it! It's a super quick video to give you the main details, so let me know if you have any other questions below. Though, I think most people are coming for the Rothy's<a href="https://share.rothys.com/x/hHT42P"> $20 off referral code</a> ;P If you own a pair of Rothy's you too have a $20 off code. So many people have heard about them- but haven't taken the plunge yet- so definitely pass on your code to friends & family!<br />

After sharing a look into my morning routine, I thought I'd share 5 ideas/tips to create your own morning routine to feel your best and most productive! I love watching morning routine videos for inspiration, but it can be disheartening to feel like you can't accomplish it all-so my biggest tip is to DO YOU. Everyone's morning goals and responsibilities are different!<br />

My kind of recipe video! Beauty DIYs! These are perfect for after a yoga sesh, but also if you don't do yoga and just want to relax and unwind! I've shared the <a href="http://www.evlady.com/2017/04/diy-bath-bombs.html">bath bomb recipe</a> before, but the other two recipes were new ones for me-and I love how they turned out. In starting my YouTube channel, I knew I wanted to share beauty DIYs, so let me know what recipes I should test out next!<br />

Not only do I love a good beauty haul, but a box full of cleaning products is also a welcomed package.

I decided to try it out for the cute 5-piece set free and got hooked! Here is <a href="https://www.grove.co/referrer/4470030/">my referral code</a> if you want to try it out!<br />

It's almost the unofficial start to summer! But I am in the peak of Spring vibes. I am definitely wanting all the florals and creamy pastels. If you are in the spring state of mind too, I just posted a getting ready with me for this make-up on my YouTube channel! Even if you are already focused on summer, I think this look would be perfect anytime of year!<br />

I've shared a couple of their <a href="http://www.evlady.com/2014/12/tatcha-holiday-collection-kinhaku-miyabi.html">holiday sets</a> back in 2014 and <a href="http://www.evlady.com/2015/04/mothers-day-set-from-tatcha.html">2015</a>, as well as the <a href="http://www.evlady.com/2017/08/sephora-favorites-skin-super-foods.html">dewy skin mist</a> that everyone raves about! I've also been dying to try the Violet C Radiance Mask-which now comes in a set as a travel version. But today, I thought I would share a product I never really thought about purchasing and is now my secret skincare and make-up weapon. <br />
<br />
For most of my life, my number one skin concern was acne. As I've gotten older under eye dark circles have stolen the first place spot. I assumed the answer was just add extra concealer-in a shade lighter-on top- despite that clearly not working by the creasing and cakiness.<br />
<br />
<i><b>The Pearl Tinted Eye Illuminating Treatment </b></i>stumbled into my hands by way of Kirbie Johnson at the Popsugar Playground event. We sat in on her session about her favorite beauty products, and she shared this little purple Pokeball of a product. We were extra stoked it was included in a swag bag to try out!<br />
<br />
It comes in three shades that roughly correspond to skintone but really it's the texture and the brightness that does wonders for the under eye. Hence, this is the medium shade, Softlight, and it works on my super fair skin. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><i><b>Before</b></i></div><div class="noborderdv" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqDcjwfFpVEizvwuSxBlTAwLJ4HqKG_LxB4uk4gXWM3NIUFXhklsMuUPjI0g6cST9A65uFFuMEJlPNIdSDQXKsOWoupVITtUyIwfMvTVshmfeUD-VaWsZ4cFBop31R9I9VLrNJx_6x2Z5_/s1600/IMG_8087.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" height="667" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqDcjwfFpVEizvwuSxBlTAwLJ4HqKG_LxB4uk4gXWM3NIUFXhklsMuUPjI0g6cST9A65uFFuMEJlPNIdSDQXKsOWoupVITtUyIwfMvTVshmfeUD-VaWsZ4cFBop31R9I9VLrNJx_6x2Z5_/s1600/IMG_8087.jpg" width="1000"/></a></div>Here is my before face! No filter/editing/enhancing. Mostly natural light, but there was a light in the room to the left side of my face.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><i><b>After</b></i></div><div class="noborderdv" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCWelHoplXdjyRq5OdRieEqsXSGN3E9onQbuq02EXmcji6CMQVhXa1d2DHIS6CIWgb1KL8H-uANbc4bZax3VatrxOJkn9w7HwkQvlGq7Wf2VyhdADRW5_SqNzyTgvBbWerZW-0qwxuuTIf/s1600/IMG_8091.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1498" height="936" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCWelHoplXdjyRq5OdRieEqsXSGN3E9onQbuq02EXmcji6CMQVhXa1d2DHIS6CIWgb1KL8H-uANbc4bZax3VatrxOJkn9w7HwkQvlGq7Wf2VyhdADRW5_SqNzyTgvBbWerZW-0qwxuuTIf/s1600/IMG_8091.jpg" width="1000"/></a></div>Only with The Pearl on! It's natural but oh so brightening. And the texture blends in your pores so well. You only need a teeny tiny bit for both eyes. As you blend it in with your finger, it kind of bursts into moisture. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b><i>All the make-up!</i></b></div><div class="noborderdv" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbj2F8rZp43dke1hgYFOilo6vqCZnxkDJZtVVTWCJzI4wSa3WW2Ah3aIlP3_5CrmkV7hjh2E8x7TlrLTCR261uBZXuGKQd-tWXi752dT4XVAoUKu9R8PqY_14123MbcpRCApGUO49s2eFp/s1600/IMG_8113.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1273" height="790" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbj2F8rZp43dke1hgYFOilo6vqCZnxkDJZtVVTWCJzI4wSa3WW2Ah3aIlP3_5CrmkV7hjh2E8x7TlrLTCR261uBZXuGKQd-tWXi752dT4XVAoUKu9R8PqY_14123MbcpRCApGUO49s2eFp/s1600/IMG_8113.jpg" width="1000"/></a></div>And here it is with a full face of make-up. Though, I totally skip the concealer step now! I also love that it's not only a make-up product but also a treatment.<br />

<i>Hello Summer! </i>Technically, not yet, but the weather sure is feeling like it! I'm ready for beach days and long nights with fun, food, & friends. This season's <a href="http://xo.fff.me/jhhaE">FabFitFun</a> box is perfect for the occasion. It's also packed with beauty products, which as a beauty aficionado, is my cup of tea. <br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
My beach towels were looking a bit scruffy, so I was stoked to pick out the <i>Summer & Rose Beach Towel</i>. I went with the minty palm print. It's a super soft microfiber material and HUGE! I can't wait to bring it to the beach. Or maybe just snuggle up with it as a blanket. This month's box also stocked me up on several large bottles of skincare. I am set with exfoliators-both a physical scrubby formula with <i>Vasanti Brighten Up! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator </i>and a new chemical peel mask, <i>Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel. </i>I have tried the Vasanti product in previous sub boxes and love it! For my next pick, I chose <i>Aromatherapy Associates De-Stress Muscle Gel. </i>I love using this after a yoga sesh. It has a peppery scent. A summer box wouldn't be complete with some SPF. I love Coola's formula and am excited to have fresh tube of <i>COOLA Face Sport SPF 50 White Tea Moisturizer </i>for sun protection. For make-up, you couldn't go wrong with tarte! I received the <i>tarte tarteist PRO glow highlight & contour palette. </i>Really excited to play around with that, once I bring myself to take the first swipe. My marble, rose-gold obsession knows no bounds, so this <i>Pier 1 Imports Marble Ring Dish </i>is perfection. I have been using it for my make-up sponges. Finally, the wow-item of the box, <i>FOREO LUNA fofo. </i>I have been getting more into beauty gadgets lately, but with the cost point, it always seems like you have to really research before you make that investment. I have been seeing the Foreo devices around and am so happy to finally own one. The silicon bristles are gentle for cleansing the skin. It also has an app and sensors on the back to measure skin moisture-I'm not 100% sold on the accuracy of that, but it is fun to try out. </div>

I've don't think I have the guts to do a full-on retro ensemble, but I have been dabbling with the occasional throwback. The choker, a denim jacket tied around the waist, daisy prints... I mean nail art + daisies are a classic 90s combination. <br />
<br />

A black background or even a nude would also look cute! For the flower, I used <i>Wet n Wild French White Creme</i> and <i>Butter London Pimms</i> and a couple of dotting tools. Depending on how big you draw your flower, you could do a couple on nail for an accent or do an all over pattern. Perfect for spring/summer!<br />

I am all about rose-rose gold, rosy shadows, rose floral. Here are a few of my favourite rose-themed things.<br />
<br />
If you haven't <a href="http://www.evlady.com/2018/01/beauty-habits-for-new-year.html">made the switch</a> to natural deodorant yet, pick up <i>Schmidt's Rose + Vanilla</i> scent. If it doesn't convince you, I sincerely apologize-but I am willing to take that bet. It smells like a luxe perfume while keeping you fresh. This was the one that finally stuck for me, but even so, natural deo does take a little bit to get used to. This <i>Rose Water Facial Toner</i> was a surprising find from Trader Joe's-next post idea TJ beauty finds. It is beautifully scented (duh, it's rose) and a great value. Feels much fancier than the price!<br />
<br />
I am nearing the end of my beloved <i><a href="http://www.evlady.com/2017/08/another-little-glossier-haul.html">Glossier Coconut balm dotcom</a></i> and knew I need to pick up another. I loved the coconut and am equally in love with the rose. I've used every last granule of sugar from this <i><a href="http://www.evlady.com/2018/03/review-herbivore-botanicals.html">Herbivore Coco Rose Body Polish</a></i> jar, and now, I need to upgrade to the big one. Rose + Coconut = Amazing. So scrubby and so hydrating.<br />
<br />
Now that I've gone on and on about the scent of rose, let's move on to the colour. I'm a fan of the <a href="http://www.evlady.com/2013/12/urban-decay-naked-3.html">Urban Decay Naked 3</a> - classic for rose tones. But lately, I have been loving this small but packs a punch palette- <i>Wet n Wild Rose in the Air.</i> Five dollars. It's clearly a dupe for Anastasia Modern Renaissance and honestly, I had a moral dilemma about purchasing a dupe-creativity should be rewarded! Throwing down $50 for the real thing felt pretty steep until I knew I could pull the colours off, but I loved <a href="http://www.evlady.com/2017/12/anastasia-beverly-hills-subculture.html">Subculture</a>, so I am sure the full price is worth it. Depending on your budget check either out! The hot pink and burnt oranges are my favs and surprisingly wearable! <br />
<br />
I also threw in a couple packets of this <i>Pukka Tea Love</i> blend for a full rose experience! Rose Hip Oil is another solid beauty staple, and of course, rose gold all the things. Maybe next, I should share my collection of rose gold clothing items. You would think it would be small....until I walk in wearing a rose gold leather jacket....<br />

The <a href="https://brandless.com/">brand that claims to not be a brand</a>-I am not buying that, but I am buying quite the assortment of $3 products. Three dollars. Organic, non-GMO, all that for 3 bucks. I piled my virtual shopping cart high and have been eating away to share my thoughts!<br />
<br />
<div class="noborderdv" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCp0Os0YYsBqLEmMAvMJBfjNtg_cYZWS-Us8cXwBYluVeTCvlzcJ21G68TOhxbfNTjRnQVQ6JWiIorcA_pYqqN_txXW4EEg6n7uLSfGj197V23lin8XPkvcIXtPuwwNUjZm5N6MO8GTl-w/s1600/IMG_7328.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCp0Os0YYsBqLEmMAvMJBfjNtg_cYZWS-Us8cXwBYluVeTCvlzcJ21G68TOhxbfNTjRnQVQ6JWiIorcA_pYqqN_txXW4EEg6n7uLSfGj197V23lin8XPkvcIXtPuwwNUjZm5N6MO8GTl-w/s640/IMG_7328.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
What first got me curious, was the mention of $3 dollar organic maple syrup. You really can't beat real maple syrup. When I am not pouring it on pancakes, I use it to sweeten matcha lattes. But at the grocery store pricing of ten dollars it felt like a luxury. Their coconut oil is another highly mentioned product-so I grabbed that too. <br />
<br />
<div class="noborderdv" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCce-jAbf3PmavFW8SggOuMA_-DeCTUuMHQrpCLkNtrkn4XDXpIhNehvpBE2wz9ir_Xlh5eOuzfuQs4G5jAmn74W4qL3Ay99x50NGBTvgbQCHzNBcl0OBHl04TO3SB0i_3PsFK3HzJgXj1/s1600/IMG_7322.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1292" data-original-width="1600" height="516" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCce-jAbf3PmavFW8SggOuMA_-DeCTUuMHQrpCLkNtrkn4XDXpIhNehvpBE2wz9ir_Xlh5eOuzfuQs4G5jAmn74W4qL3Ay99x50NGBTvgbQCHzNBcl0OBHl04TO3SB0i_3PsFK3HzJgXj1/s640/IMG_7322.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
Along with all the snacks-hummus chips, barbeque, Brandless Oreos, crackers, dried mango, granola. It's amazing to have a fully stocked pantry! I also decided to try the body care items and threw in a body wash and hand soap. One item (or three) that I wasn't expecting to add were these spoons. But again, three dollars each for some sexy spoons. <br />
<br />
<div class="noborderdv" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've already placed my next order-I need more instant oatmeal packets for work, some granola, maybe try a muffin mix-let me know what your favourite Brandless products are!<br />

I have gone through quite the range of subscription boxes over the years. I love checking the mail, and you got to have something fun in the midst of wrong addresses, spam, and junk. I have always been curious about <a href="http://xo.fff.me/ijeKF">FabFitFun</a> (my referral link for $10 off!). All the boxes I had seen seemed to have a high value and good variety of products. I also like that it's a quarterly box, so I don't feel inundated by stuff. <br />
<br />
I first became a subscriber for the Winter 2017 box. I thought it was an excellent way to get a few gifts for friends while keeping a few goodies for myself. My mom loved the skincare and eyeshadow palette, my sister the necklace, and I got to keep the poncho and socks. <br />
<br />
<div class="noborderdv" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7_isch5AXxW_lDZF5Rzs9hZpr-fcFF2M7LdFORUGaMMQwKzVFKB1RCZa2WRCBpnV5oQjsOyaYwdyLQTojHgSmhpjMSoVyWUvBGyN8oi5wcz8MP8Ah5202Ygsxk9SOfm7TUMd21fv2uytT/s1600/IMG_7372.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1068" height="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7_isch5AXxW_lDZF5Rzs9hZpr-fcFF2M7LdFORUGaMMQwKzVFKB1RCZa2WRCBpnV5oQjsOyaYwdyLQTojHgSmhpjMSoVyWUvBGyN8oi5wcz8MP8Ah5202Ygsxk9SOfm7TUMd21fv2uytT/s1600/IMG_7372.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
This month, I may just be keeping everything-wait, I did share the Lip Masks with friends which was fun. Sharing is caring :] I am loving the eye mask, earrings, and candle. I have been trying to get better about foam rolling and this massage roller is super easy to use. The moisturizer and nail polish base coat are perfect staples. I am looking forward to some spring weather- brunchin' with the clutch and earrings for a killer spring combo.<br />
<br />
Overall, I am super pleased again with this box. The items feel very curated to me and epitomize the spring vibes of the seasonal box. I love that it's basically instant self care in a box, making it the perfect gift for friends or yourself-or a bit of both!<br />
<br />

I'm calling this a review, though it's very incomplete as there are many products from Herbivore I have yet to try. But before I spend a massive amount of money on the next batch of amazing smelling, powerful formulas, and streamlined packaging-I thought I'd share my first impressions of the brand.<br />
<br />
<div class="noborderdv" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8rYg4YQEL2AJsyiJuRVUITlaISjoZodWOGttSCdYpAAdURpjfT0OZRdPVCl1ToGckKLQ0KHWVyZFxEbYoNSZuniC7PRwoyecenLSM02fym-hxiNIVB5427vAd4nBRQ_hIkAbBtP1iQ-kA/s1600/IMG-5783.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1598" data-original-width="1600" height="638" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8rYg4YQEL2AJsyiJuRVUITlaISjoZodWOGttSCdYpAAdURpjfT0OZRdPVCl1ToGckKLQ0KHWVyZFxEbYoNSZuniC7PRwoyecenLSM02fym-hxiNIVB5427vAd4nBRQ_hIkAbBtP1iQ-kA/s640/IMG-5783.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
The first product I tried was the infamous <i><b><a href="http://www.evlady.com/2017/08/sephora-favorites-skin-super-foods.html">Coco Rose Body Polish</a></b></i>. This scrub is amazing. It smells so delectable. The coconut oil, rose combo is just gorgeous. It's super scrubby and very hydrating. I need to repurchase a tub of this-which is crazy that the little one lasted so long! My next dive in the Herbivore pond, was the True Blue set. I couldn't believe the sizes for the price-and the amazing blue colour. I love facial oils and was excited to try <i><b>Lapis Balancing Facial Oil</b></i> with Blue Tansy Oil. The <i><b>Blue Tansy Resurfacing Clarity Mask</b></i> and oil make my skin feel calmed and balanced. Gorgeous smelling, gorgeous on your skin, gorgeous packaging.<br />
<br />
Next on my list are the mists-Rose Hibiscus, Jasmine Green Tea-, Moon Fruit, Pink Cloud, and a jade or quartz roller, perhaps?<br />
<br />

Happy Valentine's Week! I hope you have something sweet planned with friends & family. I've got quite a few things in the works. Lots of fun food is in my future. I love Valentine's for all the cute patterns and kitschy items. I'm normally more of a neutral kind of girl, so it's nice to mix it up and go all pink & red!<br />
<br />
I've shared quite a few V-day themed nail art. Some of my favourite's revolved around the classic heart motif-see <a href="http://www.evlady.com/2017/02/valentines-day-heart-mani-again.html">2017</a> & <a href="http://www.evlady.com/2014/02/nail-art-valentines-day-hearts.html">2014</a>. This year, I went with a red & pink floral inspired by the February <a href="http://www.evlady.com/2017/09/plan-with-me-september-2017.html">Paper & Glam </a>planner kit. (I did this same mani in <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BbHy3qDnY83/?taken-by=kdalve">fall floral </a>back in November.) These remind me so much of Strawberry Shortcake! <br />

Whenever I start reading a new book, I'll usually snap a pic on Instagram, but I rarely update when I'm finished. Just like I share beauty reviews, I thought I'd start sharing some book mini-reviews. That way you can have a better guess at what you should be reserving at the library or adding on to your <a href="https://www.mybotm.com/qamb4n7flz69a4i">Book of the Month</a>-my favourite places to get books!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Never Let Me Go <span class="st"> </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span class="st">Kazuo Ishiguro</span></i></div>
I watched the film adaptation of this years ago and had this on my to be read list for a while. I love the mix of a sci-fi backdrop, English countryside, and coming-of-age. Despite the dystopian underpinnings, the story is truly a tale of three friends navigating adolescence, love, loss, and mortality. The movie is a very accurate portrayal of the book, so you won't get anymore explanation of the world, but you do get more of the subtleties of the characters detailed. Recently, I've been seeing people sharing that they are reading <i>What Remains of the Day</i> despite it's original publication in 1989. I'm going to have to give that one a go!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The Essex Serpent </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Sarah Perry</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A historical novel with complex characters and neighborly gossip of a mysterious serpent to connect them together. Definitely more about the relationships between the characters than any magic. A mix of narration and letters between friends, lovers, and navigating those stages in between. Despite the story mainly following Cora, a recent widow discovering her newfound freedom, her entourage of friends are given enough page time to really develop and the writing is excellent.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Winter </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Ali Smith</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I read Ali Smith's Autumn, in well, Autumn. So I couldn't resist reading Winter this January. If you enjoyed Autumn, you will love this one as well. But don't expect a sequel. The characters are different but those same good intentions, missteps, mental imagery, and lay-people political discussions. The story is basically the fear everyone has before going to Thanksgiving dinner with extended family. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Pond </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Claire-Louise Bennett</i></div>
You never know the character's name or why we are hearing her story. But this plot-less novel sucks you into the daily activities and musings of our lonely character, and you piece together a little the reason why she now lives in a cottage by a pond. The descriptions are detailed and her thoughts are charming in their bluntness. <br />
<i></i><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The Wife Between Us </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen</i></div>
This was my Book of the Month pick for December and quite the opposite of my previous reads. A fast-paced thriller with a few good twists. I would describe it as a combo of <i>Gone Girl</i> and <i>The Girl on the Train</i>. You have a very genuine telling of the experience of someone in an isolating and abusive relationship that looks perfect from the outside and friends' initial warnings that something isn't what it seems. I appreciated that the twists weren't so outrageous (well, maybe the last, last one-sorry, no spoilers) and added to the moral of the story. <br />

Sharing a few beauty habits that I've incorporated into my routine-some more recent than others. Exploring these ideas might have crossed your mind before too, so I thought I'd share to give you some motivation for 2018 to be the year that you test these out! <br />

<i>Natural Deodorant</i></div>
Last year, I made the switch to natural deodorant. It took awhile to find a favourite that worked for me. And it took awhile to get used to the change, but now, I regret not embracing it sooner! No irritation, no chemicals, and lots of fun scents. My favourite is the Schmidt's stick versions, keeps it the same as you're used to (I can't quite get the pot to work-I think I'm not getting the right amount?). I love the Rose+Vanilla scent for everyday, and I have the Bergamot+Lime in my gym bag to swipe on before hot yoga. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Vitamins</i></div>
I'm sure we can all relate to being on & off with vitamins-probably since being a kid. I have tried quite a few brands-<i>including all those Instagram trending ones....</i>How I've got my regimen to stick was buying a weekly medicine holder from Amazon (blinged out with some <a href="http://www.evlady.com/2017/06/glossier-milky-jelly-cleanser-boy-brow.html">Glossier </a>stickers) and setting my vitamins out for the week. It makes it easy to see if I remembered to take it for the day. You can do a ton of research for what kinds and brands work for you. Personally, I take a vegetarian Biotin everyday (the Trader Joe's brand), and I've been trying vitamins from <a href="https://www.humnutrition.com/">Hum</a> (my referral code is: <span>101FD3)</span>. They also have great smoothie powders too. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Cruelty-Free Beauty </i></div>
I started making the transition to cruelty-free beauty when I started this blog. It can be a tricky world to navigate with brands using deceptive legal speak in an unregulated field. But there are a ton of <a href="https://logicalharmony.net/cruelty-free-vegan-brand-list/">great resources</a> too. I love following vegan beauty and cruelty-free beauty Instagrammers to see what brands they post. You can find people who share anything cruelty-free, just vegan, only natural, etc., etc. There are so many different brands out there to try, you really don't end up missing out on any products-from high end to drugstore. <br />

We are a couple of weeks into the new year, and I am still thinking of my intentions. I am not necessarily of the "new year, new you" mentality, but I am all for self-reflection. Here are a few things I have been thinking about for 2018. I'm sure some new goals will get thrown in the mix and shared here in the weeks to come.<i> Let me know your goals for 2018 in the comments!</i><br />

<i><b>Read </b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My goal for the past few years has been to read at least a book a month, so about 12 books a year. This past autumn, I have kicked my book love into overdrive and doubled my goal with 28 books read this year. Now, I'm going to strive for 36 books. We'll see if I can do it! </div>

In 2017, we took an amazing trip to South Africa. This year, I want to keep up our international travel as well as add a few stateside trips in as well. Currently thinking about a California road trip and another Asian adventure. I would also love to go on an Alaskan cruise.<br />

<i><b>Friends</b></i><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
One of the most difficult things in adulthood is making and maintaining friendships. You just don't have those built in places to connect and packed calendars further complicate things. I also admit that I am a terrible texter. I've come to terms that that probably won't change, but dear friends, I have a hoard of stationery and a love for brunch-let's hang out. <i><b> </b></i></div>

They may call it spring cleaning, but I think a lot of people agree that the new year brings a desire to reorganize and declutter. Embracing the less is more attitude, I need to give Marie Kondo a re-read and make a plan of attack on this apartment. I keep daydreaming about building a tiny house or renovating an Airstream, so even though I have a small apartment, I could simplify even more! </div>

<i>No</i>. At least, I can't make any promises. All I can say is I'm trying. I <a href="http://www.evlady.com/2014/12/on-blogging.html">never started this</a> to make a business or even for anyone to read. Not diminishing the full time bloggers out there. I just love my day job-it's my calling. Everyone should get to follow their passions. But even if my main focus wasn't this here piece of the internet, it was a meaningful project. I enjoyed spending hours (what ends up being many hours-as above, blogging is workkk) thinking of ideas, taking pictures, and fleshing out some semblance of a story-musings of something in my life.<br />
<br />
Until I didn't. I'd think of an idea. I'd take the pictures. I'd even upload them, edit them. But I just stared at the blank electronic page. Unsure of what to say. Unsure of my voice. Did I have anything to say? Did it matter? My finally putting fingers to keys is not a statement of banished doubts. I could immediately get stuck back in that mindset tomorrow and never post again.<br />
<br />
My time away from this forum also doesn't represent how I felt in other aspects of my life. Of course, there are days when I don't want to get out of bed or nights when I am restless, anxious, skin crawling and unproductive. But for the most part, I've been enjoying those things I love. But keeping the posts to a snap on Instagram. And maybe an emoji for a caption. It's hard to find the words sometimes, exhausting to find the words sometimes-so I just needed the pretty pictures.<br />

December 1st is still Fall y'all! And even if you are already jamming to Christmas music and basking in the glow of your twinkle-lighted tree-this palette is still perfect for the holidays. I know the Subculture eyeshadows have been making the rounds of some major controversies, but now that that has settled down...I thought I'd share my thoughts and a few eyeshadow looks.<br />
<br />
When I first saw the color scheme of this bad boy, I had to have it. Did I know how to rock an orange or teal eyelid? <i>Hell no</i>-but who could resist these peacock feather, rich hues? I'd figure it out...and then, I read some reviews...which led to hours of YouTube videos of people tearing up this palette. If I was already worried about pulling off the bold shades, a troublesome formula wasn't going to help. There were a few reviews citing no concerns, so I crossed my fingers and purchased. <br />
<br />

And I love it. Not that the critiques are unfounded, they are super pigmented shades, but I haven't experienced much of the complaints myself. I use the lightest amount-no swirling here-and plan the shadows accordingly. You can't blend a blue into an orange. But you can lay down some complementary shades for some badass contrast. Below are a few looks I've photographed if you need some inspiration! <br />

If that <a href="https://www.sephora.com/">Beauty Insider Holiday Reward</a> is burning a hole in your wallet, definitely check Subculture out. It will make the perfect holiday gift for your trendiest make-up loving friend or as a treat for yourself to be holiday party ready. And if you end up being in the anti-Subculture camp-I'm sorry I steered you wrong. It was worth the shot. <br />

<i>Hello September! </i>It's my favorite time of year! Fall feels like fresh beginnings. It's also my birthday month which, for me, is a time of thinking through new goals and future adventures.<br />
<br />
I decided to mix it up from my usual planner and test an Erin Condren Life Planner. I have heard so much about these planners, but the style didn't seem quite for my neutral loving self-until the neutral version came about as well as the hourly layout. My personal Filofax was great for jotting down an appointment and keeping a few to-do's, but lately, I have been wanting to take a bit of a deeper dive into my time and seeing what I can make from each day.<br />
<br />
Additionally, I wanted to live more in the present and celebrate the little things. I had been following Paper & Glam on YouTube and on Facebook for a while, and finally made the jump to ordering some stickers. Couldn't resist the fall colours and the cutest of icons to make even cleaning dishes look glam!<br />

My current workout wardrobe was constantly being rotated in and out of the laundry. I had been following Onzie on Instagram, and a few yogis who seem to always be repping their stuff. I loved how many neutral colored yet bold designs they featured. They are high quality with a price tag that's way more affordable than brands like Lululemon. Think $50-60 dollars per item. Every so often they have a discount code which is when I ordered. You can also find their stuff on YogaOutlet.com which is where I ordered to get the Petunia print that was off season. I have also seen Onzie at Nordstrom Rack-the difficulty there is finding your size.<br />
<br />
These photos are some <i>real awkward</i> timer shots, but I hope they give you a sense of the fit and movement of these pieces. I really can't wait to order some more. The fabrics are super luxe with edgy design details. They also passed the hot yoga test with regards to moisture wicking. I will say I prefer wearing the Ballerina capri in a non-heated, not so sweaty sesh as the fabric has a more cotton/sweatpant feel (despite not being cotton-they are just more cozy feeling). It showed a bit of sweat marks during class though instantly were dry after leaving the room. I also realized I prefer long pants for hot yoga, so I am not slipping when holding my shin or ankle (trikonasana). The high rise legging are perfect for that since they are long, skin tight, but super movable. They are so sleek, it's almost like water. The bra is full of details with the darting, high neckline with chest cut out, and X back. They have so many awesome strappy selections. And speaking of straps, I just love the lace ups on the side of the ballerina capri. I ordered an XS in the pants and a S/M in the bra. <br />
