Sarah Breden's Apartment Tour

Hi lovelies! It's been too long! As I mentioned in my last post, I have really been focusing on my new project, The Beauty Bar. However, the moment I moved into my new apartment, I knew that I wanted to give you all a tour before anyone else.

I just moved in a few days ago, so things are far from perfect. I'm one of those people that is constantly shifting things around, adding things in, and taking things out to make my space more functional. Hopefully, this little photo tour will give you guys a basic idea of the look I wanted to go for. Let's just go ahead and jump right in!

How To: Organize Your Makeup Collection

Confession time. My name is Sarah, and I am a makeup hoarder. What can I say? Some people collect stamps, I collect cosmetics. With so many products in my collection, I figured out pretty quickly that I would need an organized system to keep everything straight. So whether you have a whole stash of stuff like me, or a bit smaller of a collection, I’m here to help you figure out the best way to keep all of your makeup in its proper place!

My Apartment Tour!

Hi lovelies! Get excited, because today is a big day! You know why? After months of requests and promising I'll post it any day now, I AM FINALLY GETTING AROUND TO SHOWING YOU GUYS MY APARTMENT! Basically every time I was ready to publish the pictures, I thought of something in the room I wanted to change. Whether it was a frame I wanted to move, or a new pillow I wanted to add, there was always some reason why it wasn't right. So I have finally just accepted that it will never be perfect, but I hope that I can at least provide you all with a little inspiration for your own rooms!

School Sparkle: DIY Crafts to Deck Out Your Dorm Room!

Hi lovelies! You all gave such amazing feedback from my School Sparkle guest blogger series, I decided to invite one of my favorite bloggers, The Caro Diaries, to come write one final post all about making this school year the best one ever! And for all of my fellow college kids, a huge part of having a great year is having a great dorm room or apartment on campus! So today, Caro will be sharing some of her favorite DIY crafts to spruce up your room!

I'm lucky enough to be entering my second year of university this year, and I know what it's like being a broke college student. When the exchange rate between your home country and the US is 6:1, broke becomes your middle name. That being said, I can't afford expensive accessories and decorations for my dorm room, and I've been forced to be creative. Dorm rooms can be boring. This is the place you eat, sleep, study and just hang out in all day every day for nine months out of the year, so sprucing it up is recommended, but managing to do it without spending big money is the challenge. So I headed on over to Pinterest (my favorite thing to do whenever I need any sort of inspiration - check out my Wednesday Wisdom posts every week!) and created a list of some great, easy and inexpensive DIY pieces to turn your dorm room into your home.
