I’m sure I’m not alone when I say that my dogs run my life, but I love it! I spoil them and I’m not sorry about it!
If you’re new here, I have two Pembroke Welsh Corgis named Biggie Smalls and Karma.
Biggie is three years old and Karma is one and a half.
This video is all how the corgis run MY world and tell me what to do! From asking to play, to even trying to get fed early, theses corgis aren’t afraid to show you who’s boss.

Handbags are items I love to save for and splurge on – I can’t stop!
I love designer handbags from Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel, and more. However, I only actually own a few designer handbags, as they are so expensive!
I get a lot of my non-designer purses from TJMaxx, Ross, or Nordstrom Rack – so I’m not able to link a lot of them! But I will definitely link what I can still find!
Mask acne hit me really hard when there was a mask mandate for Colorado – I was breaking out like crazy! However, I didn’t take any steps to prevent “maskne” at that time.
When I did start taking prevention steps, I went a little overboard. I had read online that using a benzoyl peroxide gel or cream would be really helpful along the chin and mouth area – it was! I just used too much of it and it dried out the lower half of my face really bad – it looked like I had white scruff!
I’ve learned a lot through trial and error when it comes to maskne, so here’s what I’ve found that works best for me.
*Note: I am NOT a dermatologist and can only speak to my experience. My skin type is oily.
Step 2: Face Toner – I have a number of different toners ranging from weak to strong. I use one type of toner a day on my face, depending on what I feel my face needs. For example, if I wore my face mask almost all day, I would use the stronger toner.
Step 3: Benzoyl peroxide – I never really use toner and a benzoyl peroxide cream or gel at the same time, so this could sometimes be step 2. I use this about one to two times a week on days when I feel like my skin needs that extra care.
Step 4: The other kind of face mask – I’ve been using the Teami Beauty Mask, Restorative Clay Facial. I’ve never really been consistent with any type of face mask until this one – it’s gentle enough to be used multiple times a week (I’ve been using it almost every other day) and it’s made with natural ingredients and no harsh chemicals. Also, it smells amazing! It makes my skin soft (as expected), but it also gives me a glow. I’ve noticed that having a consistent weekly face mask has definitely helped keep my skin clear.
Step 5: This is the MOST IMPORTANT and the step that has been the most LIFE CHANGING for me: TONER. Yes, it’s another toner, but it’s used on my face mask. I’ve been using the Trader Joe’s face toner (but I’m sure any toner in a spray bottle would work) and I haven’t had a breakout since. I only spray my face mask with toner right before I head to my car.
These are all the steps I take in order to prevent maskne. Let me know if you have any tips you’d like to share as well!

I’ve been all about comfort these days, and working from home has definitely been a factor in that!
Amazon has always been my go-to for cute, but affordable work dresses, so I thought I’d give some of their loungewear a try. I also added in some workout clothes in my last Amazon purchase, so I was slowly getting things in a few boxes at a time – it was kind of like Christmas!
You’ll see shots of me trying on each item and my thoughts in my full YouTube haul video down below.
Ordering online is always a gamble, especially if you’ve never ordered from a particular brand or store before, and aren’t sure how their sizing works. So, I hope this video helps!
I don’t about you guys, but I actually find “Clean with Me” videos quite satisfying!
I love seeing the difference and change a quick clean up session can make – and it totally helps me get motivated to clean my own house afterward!
To clean my kitchen countertops, I like using the Mrs. Meyers Multi-Surface Everyday Cleaner. I’ve heard about this brand for FOREVER, but just recently made the switch – now I understand the love! The scent is long-lasting and it easily removes grime. I use the lavender scent. Get it here: https://amzn.to/3hJNql0
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale ends August 30th, but I thought.. better late than never to share what I was actually able to get from the sale!
Not sure how you all felt, but this sale was pretty frustrating for me! My main goal was to get the leopard-print Barefoot Dreams blanket, which quickly went out of stock.
The reason I found this year’s sale so incredibly frustrating was because of the sale being accessible in tiers – ranging from Icons, Ambassadors, Influencers, Insiders, and then to the public (I’m an Insider since I have the Nordstrom credit card).
Because of the tiered access, all these Nordstrom ambassadors and influencers were able to get everything they liked or what they thought would be best sellers.. first. However, almost everything that was considered a “hot item” was out of stock before the general public had access to it. How frustrating right?!
So, the wish list I had initially posted had literally gone out the window by the time I had access to the sale.
I ended up getting four items of clothing and a pair of earrings and a bangle. Although, I wish I had gotten the Barefoot Dreams blanket and socks.. I’m happy with what I was able to get. BUT.. I am hoping next year’s sale is different!
