Ulta Haul

Today I went to Ulta with my mom and picked up some goodies!

I absolutely love the They're Real Mascara. I usually buy the mini's because I can't use a full tube before it dries up. I used the Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner freshman year, but switched to MAC's gel liner, but now I'm back. Ulta Brand Concealer is my favorite! So easy to use and inexpensive! I also love Ulta Brand nail polish. Today it was on sale for $2! The color is called "Moody Blues," it's not really showing up, but it's kind of a navy.


Also, my pink Hunter's came in the mail today! I was so disappointed when the buckle fell off my black pair, but so excited when Nordstrom let me trade them in for the pink!

Hope everyone has a great week!
xoxo,
Caroline

New Year's Resolutions

So of course I'm doing the cliche New Year's Resolutions. I feel like actually writing them down might help me stick to them.


  • Cut back on Diet Coke I'm am definitely addicted. I went a whole week this month without them and I had a ton more energy. I still don't think I can quit cold turkey, so I was thinking just 2 a week.
  • Keep my nails painted Freshman and sophomore I always had my nails painted, but this year I've got busy and lazy and nails have just been shoved under the rug. I just think I look a lot more presentable with polished nails.
  • Save more money Right now, I have 25% of my paycheck sent directly to my savings account, but I'm trying not to waste as much money. I also want to look in to investing (in companies, not shoes)
  • Put more effort in to my outfits I have a ton of cute clothes, but I totally got in to a jeans and t-shirt rut towards the end middle of the semester. It's one of those things that slipped under the rug when I got so busy with school and work. I also want to start posting OOTD's!
  • Be more generous with my money I'm pretty good at donating to charities, but I definitely think there's room to step it up. It's so easy to only donate at Christmas time and not year round.
  • Read the bible more often I often forget how important and therapeutic it is to read His word. I love reading the bible right before I go to bed, but I definitely forget to.
  • Eat healthier I know this is super broad, but my diet is actually so bad. I work at a bakery and there's always some sort of cake tempting me! I definitely am trying to eat more fruits and veggies.
  • Workout at least twice a week This is another thing that I used to be so good at! I honestly have no excuses for this one. 
What are your New Year's Resolutions?
