Healthier Way to Make-up

How is your weekend going? I hope it's been a good one! Today I wanted to more on the beauty side of things. Since I'm still struggling with problem skin, I'm constantly on the lookout for different sensitive skin solutions.

I was, recently, inspired by a post written by fellow blogger, Elizabeth Stewart, to learn more about healthier makeup and a specific brand called Beauty Counter. (If you want to read her list of harmful makeup ingredients & parabens, check it out here.)

Below I've included some of my tips for being more aware of what you're putting on your face.

It's All In the Details

How are you all doing? I have to admit I'm on a little bit of a low after coming back from our amazing trip to Ireland and England, but I'm still trying to make the most of the summer months.

For my first post back at home, I just thought I'd talk about the little details and how they can make an outfit.

Get to Know Yourself (& Your Style)

Most people have taken or will take the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator at least once in their life. The MBTI is a personality test that determines your psychological preferences, how you view the world, and how you make decisions. Recently, I've been doing research involving my senior project at university, which has lead me to taking it online. I was very impressed and intrigued by the results. Here is one online that I enjoyed taking, because it offers a lot of information about your personality, such as strengths and weaknesses, romantic relationships, and famous people who have the same personality as you. Take the test and comment down below what you got!

After taking this quiz, I wanted to see if there was any way I could relate this to fashion. Below I've listed each personality type and a defining piece that should be in there wardrobe! Comment down below if you agree!

How to Style Black Denim for Summer

Anyway, let me introduce, to you, my very favorite summer outfit at the moment...and yes...it features black skinny jeans! Not usually a frequent companion for the summer months, my go-to BDG Urban Outfitters skinnies can still make an appearance in May. For this post, I thought I would let you know how I would style black skinny jeans for a warm summer month.

Pattern Play

I hope you've all survived the work-week and are enjoying your weekend! I'm in a great mood because the sun has been shining and there's been a lovely breeze blowing through. Also to all the mothers out there, Happy Mother's Day! I don't know what I'd do without my mom/best friend/biggest supporter, so make sure you treat your mom well and thank her for raising you into the lovely, stylish person you are today.

Now onto this week's style post! What's more summery than a bit of pattern mixing? I know one of the most challenging trends can be mixing and matching patterns, without coming off as a crazy bag lady...So, below are my tips for mixing different patterns, and still looking like a your stylish and sane.

My Month With Bioclarity

I know this is not my usual post day, but I just wanted to do an extra post because I had a little free time! I am going to try and do a beauty post mid-week every now and then just to mix it up a bit now that I have more time in the summer.

First of all, for those of you who also suffer with acne, I feel your pain! It's such a confidence destroyer sometimes, but remember, there is a solution for everyone out there. I recommend trying different acne systems, spot treatments, and maybe even try a birth control to help with hormonal breakouts. There are thousands of options, so never give up trying to find the right one for you. Another important thing to remember is that pretty much everyone as some point in their life suffers with acne, so no one is judging you. Most of the time, other people won't even notice the spots that seem so obvious to you. It's a normal part of life and sometimes we just have to remind ourselves of that.

Elevate Your Weekend Look

How has your week been?As for me, it's been a little tough getting back into the swing after spring break, but I'm doing better now that it's the weekend. This week, I thought I'd write about how to elevate your weekend look from boring to fabulous. In usual Georgie form, I have compiled my personal tips to create the perfect weekend ensemble.
