Guess what I finally got around to buying? Yes, the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette! It’s been on my wish list forever, but always got pushed back in favor of limited edition items. Now that it’s in my hands, I realize what I’ve been missing out on.

Take a look into my shower and you’ll see some themes. Obsession worthy scents and Costco-sized wholesale bottles are two of them. I’m also all about drugstore steals that feel like they cost a million bucks. Isn’t everyone?
I’ve been sharing some of the love and telling all my friends about the new hair care I’ve been using from TRESemme’s latest lines: Split Remedy and Nourishing Rituals. I even lent my friend one of the products to try after she asked me about it, commenting that my hair had been looking so healthy!
