Spring Beauty Edit – Five Ways to Organize & Update Your Beauty Stash

Hi friends! I thought I’d share a round up of my favorite spring beauty finds. It’s time to freshen up our makeup looks!

Because I like shiny things. Warning. I’m crazy. This will be random. Continue reading “Shining Stars – Random People Who Make Me Happy”
