The Year of the Pandemic…

December 31, 2020 mascaranbourbon2 Comments

I don’t think that anyone would call this year an epic year. It has been hard for everyone. For me it was just strange. Most of last year I dreamt of what the first year as a mom would be like and all the things that me and our little one would do…little did I… Continue reading The Year of the Pandemic…

Products I have been loving…

March 14, 2020 mascaranbourbonLeave a comment

Algenist Genius Sleeping Collagen – $98.00I have tried tons of moisturizers and overnight creams and this has to be one of the best. Yes, it is pricey but it is really worth the money. A very tiny bit goes a long way. What I enjoy most about this moisturizer is the texture. It feels thick… Continue reading Products I have been loving…

A bit of a hiatus…

February 28, 2020February 25, 2020 mascaranbourbon2 Comments

Sorry I have been absent for so long. I hit my third trimester in January and to say it has been interesting would be an understatement. I have been blessed with an incredibly easy pregnancy….no morning sickness! But as I have started to expand, I have been experiencing nerve pain, sciatic pain, and a bit… Continue reading A bit of a hiatus…

Turkish Red Lentil Soup…

November 22, 2019November 22, 2019 mascaranbourbon2 Comments

Admittedly, I have been lax at learning about (and trying to cook) traditional Turkish cuisine. Lately though our go-to weeknight quick fix meal is Turkish Red Lentil Soup. It takes less than 30 minutes to prepare– including prep time–and is hearty, delish, and comforting. I would like to point out that I am just a… Continue reading Turkish Red Lentil Soup…

Brow gel fails…

October 18, 2019October 15, 2019 mascaranbourbonLeave a comment

Here’s the thing. I had a great brow gel, but in my move to go cruelty-free this brow gel is no longer an option. So, I was on the hunt for a great brow gel from a cruelty-free company. I am sure that you can tell by the title that my hunt has not been… Continue reading Brow gel fails…

Out of touch…

October 11, 2019October 8, 2019 mascaranbourbon3 Comments

I have been slacking a bit on the uploads lately and I am sorry about that. So much has been happening in the last few months. I was finishing up my summer semester and have taken on a pretty heavy load for my Master’s Program this semester. Work has been super hectic lately and I… Continue reading Out of touch…

Over matte liquid lips?…

July 26, 2019 mascaranbourbon3 Comments

Has a matte liquid lip seen the last of its days? Or is it still a popular choice? If you look at the popular products that have come out in the last few months, it’s all matte liquid lips. But to my surprise lip gloss seems to be on the rise. Gloss has never been… Continue reading Over matte liquid lips?…

Wet n Wild Photofocus Foundation…

June 28, 2019June 25, 2019 mascaranbourbonLeave a comment

I know there is a lot of controversy out there regarding Wet n Wild…is it, or isn’t it, cruelty-free. Well, I bought this foundation to test out prior to all of the hoopla and I couldn’t just through it away. You know the old adage: waste not, want not. I have been using the Photofocus… Continue reading Wet n Wild Photofocus Foundation…

We received an instant pot for our wedding (thanks Marnie and Eric!) and it is one of our most used kitchen tools. If you don’t have one…stop reading and go out and get one now! We use it at least once a week–mostly for rice, but we love this pulled chicken recipe. We probably make… Continue reading Our favorite pulled chicken recipe…

The state of our planet…

May 31, 2019May 28, 2019 mascaranbourbon1 Comment

Since as early as I can remember, recycling has been a key component to garbage day. Taking the extra effort to separate recyclables into paper, plastic, and cans was incredibly important. We were all saving the plant, one plastic bottle at a time. As of late, even doing that isn’t good enough. All plastic is… Continue reading The state of our planet…
