My First Hydrafacial Experience.... Is It Worth The Hype? + VIDEO

I've seen so many insta stories on Hydrafacials and I wanted to try it out for myself! It was also my friend Amber who actually sent a Youtube video to me recently and said she wanted to try this out and I jumped on the bandwagon ASAP too and went to Erickson Dermatology in Chicago! First off... it's normally $200 for this facial. Seems pricey but to do it quarterly instead of your usual facial, it's not too bad. And let me tell you, the extractions part during normal facials

Latex Skirt... Yes I'm Wearing A Latex Skirt

This weekend was so fun in the city! We did brunch at Angelinas on Broadway because they have a great deal- $24 for bottomless AND a meal. So amazing. Then we headed to Sluggers because the boys wanted to, and then we hung out at my brothers apartment for a bit. I quickly changed into his sweatpants when we got there... haha I love being comfortable. Saturday Colin moves in with me and actually so is my brother. They'll be sharing a U-haul from the city to the burbs and we'll

How I Tone My Hair at Home (And Grow Out My Natural Hair Color)

I've been wanting to grow my hair our for years but then always get sucked back into dying it because the color fades so much and my hair turns an orangey color and I look horrendous. I am finally trying to suck it up thought and I haven't dyed it since August 25, 2017. It feels so long!! In the meantime until my hair completely grows out naturally, I've only been toning it at home if I need a quick fix for an event or something along those lines. Toning it is just a deposit

Vegas was a blast!! I can't believe I'm home already. :( We barely slept while we were there so I spent Sunday sleeping my life away. This weekend we'll be doing a brunch with friends before Colin moves out of the city at the end of the month! Crazy to think we won't have a city apartment anymore to hang out at but on to the next adventure! On to the outfit...I bought the dress from Charlotte Russe and it's on sale for $18 right now! Also wore my favorite knockoff sunglasses

10 Things I Want to Do Before 30

I've been thinking about doing some sort of bucket list on things to do before 30 so I just thought I might as well just share it with all of you reading too! Maybe it'll help me make these things really happen and I'll feel accountable.. :) 1. Go to 25 countries... I'm currently at 18! I was shocked when I added it all up! Most countries added up during my study abroad stint in Florence, Italy in 2012 but I want to get to more in the next few years! Last year we went to Ital

The Best Spring Transition Coat

Easter was so nice! We usually go to church at 5AM but this year we splurged a little and went at 7:30 AM. Then we eat the BEST breakfast with kielbasa, polish vegetable salad, and other favorites of mine and we lay down for a nap. It's my FAVORITE holiday. I'm also doing a GIVEAWAY on my Instagram so check it out to sign up - (you have until April 9th). I'm giving away makeup remover pads by Face Halo. I'm so shocked as to how good they work. You only put water on it and it
