Unboxing: July Sephora Play!

Greetings Rubies!

Better late than never. The year is truly flying by isn’t it? Summer is one of my favorite seasons this year we went on a family vacation to Williamsburg, which was soo much fun. But if your budget doesn’t permit you going away you can always have a “Beauty Stay-cation” the theme of the July Sephora Play beauty Box. I know we are in August and I am super late with this post but charge it to my head and not my heart. I am determined to keep it consistent with these unboxing posts even if they are late!! 🙂

OOTD: Orange One Shoulder Dress

Hello Again Rubies-

So I’ve been shifting through my camera roll (my DSLR and cell phone) finding photos of previous travel and other activities and I thought why not share them with my Rubies.

Summer is officially here, which means more time outdoors and less time indoors. Myself included, I’ve been away from the blog doing just that.

I know, I know it’s the last day of June but hey, it’s still technically June!!

One of my good friends called me up, knowing I love all things beauty and asked if I wanted to attend an event at Blue Mercury in DC  with her. I had two responses for her, sure (let me make sure my three-year-old mini is all set after school) and what exactly is Blue Mercury? I had never heard of the beauty retail chain.
