Birchbox Reveal // May 2013

Posted on May 20th, by melissa.sims in Lifestyle, Obessions. No Comments

This month’s Birchbox was an interesting one. I was excited about a few of the products, but some fell short. This month’s theme was, “Beauty Diaries,” which was all about your morning routine.



OBSESSIONS // Fregrance Frenzy

Posted on May 8th, by melissa.sims in Obessions. No Comments

One of my favorite things to splurge on is perfume. I love when you walk by someone and you smell a little of their perfume or cologne. (I’m not talking about smelling them from across the building haha!) But just a subtle hint! I love to find new scents so that I can switch them up from day to day depending on my mood! Currently, these are some of my favorites!



OBSESSIONS // Gloss Moderne Masque

Posted on May 1st, by melissa.sims in Obessions. No Comments

I recently ordered myself this new hair masque by Gloss Moderne, the High Gloss Masque! I have been using the Moroccan Oil Repair masque for over a year, and decided I needed to add a different kind of a masque into the mix! And, well, who doesn’t love beautiful glossy hair?!



Birchbox Reveal // April 2013

This month’s Birchbox was done in partnership with Women’s Health. Their focus was on, “Tiny Tweaks,” in your life/lifestyle to work towards healthy living! Which couldn’t be more perfectly fitting for what has been going on in my life this past month! Funny how things work like that! Well, without further a-do, let’s take a look at what was in the box this month!



OBSESSIONS // Eyelash Extensions

One of my most recent obsession has a bit of a hefty price tag, but is oh-so-amazing! I am completely amazed and obsessed with eyelash extensions!



OBSESSIONS // Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain

Posted on April 3rd, by melissa.sims in Obessions. No Comments

I love wearing a great lip color but absolutely HATE reapplying all the live long day! I am constantly afraid that I am going to get it on my teeth, have an outer ring of lipstick with nothing in the middle, or leave lip rings on my coffee mug! I find myself checking the mirror a lot and worrying. I do however, happen to love lip stains! But they always seem to dry my lips out! This new product solves that problem!



OBSESSIONS // Three Bird Nest

The other week I ordered this gorgeous scarf that I have been swooning over for months now from Three Bird Nest! The Cornelia Infinity Scarf! It finally arrived and I couldn’t be happier!



OBSESSIONS // eyeliner

Posted on November 5th, by melissa.sims in Lifestyle, Obessions. No Comments

Eyeliner is pretty amazing, it creates a statement, makes your lashes look fuller and just has this way of creating drama! I love jet black eyeliner, and don’t want it to smudge! I personally prefer liquid liner, but let’s face it….I don’t have the steadiest of hands. These two eyeliners are my go-to!



OBSESSIONS // things I am crushing on

Posted on November 4th, by melissa.sims in Lifestyle, Obessions. No Comments

1. loving this adorable Oatmeal South West Cardigan by Windsor! The whole tribal print/Aztec prints are in and I am loving it! This is friendly on the budget but still encompasses that style. I love the neutral colors and the open flowy front. You bet I am crushing on this and wanting it in my wardrobe!! (I happen to LOVE sweaters!)


Falling in Love with Fall // Pumpkin Patch

Posted on October 21st, by melissa.sims in DIY, Lifestyle, Obessions, Personal. No Comments

So, for those of you who know me this will come as no surprise….I absolutely LOVE seasons….especially fall and winter. I love the changes in the air, the environment, people’s attitudes, the foods, music, decor…everything. I particularly have a love for traditions and seasonal activities. Growing up, my family created lots of great traditions and seasonal things. For example, ever since I was three, on our birthdays we got to pick our breakfast menu and get breakfast in bed! We always play Christmas music and decorate the day after Thanksgiving, we always open a present of new pajamas on Christmas eve, and I always make gingerbread cookies. We just had some wonderful things that we did every season every year. As I get older, I find that I tend to cling to these traditions, maybe because they remind me of … Read More »
