School Bag Essentials

Whether you prefer a backpack or purse, your school bag should contain the right things. You always want to be prepared, but at the same time, you don't want to be hauling around a 15 pound bag! To prevent over-packing, only bring the things you will actually use.

Makeup's Expiration Date

Did you know that makeup has an expiration date? Well, it does! Everything from mascara to eye shadow expires. This is why it is important that you keep your beauty products organized and throw out all of your expired makeup. Every product has a different expiration date. For example, your mascara may only last you a couple months, while your lipsticks are probably safe for over a year, depending on how well you take care of them.

Dress Up, Dress Down: Jeans

Today I am introducing a new blog category called "Dress up, Dress Down". Basically, it is when I take one clothing item and do a dressier look, and then a more casual look. I really enjoy this type of blog, because it teaches you all how to get multiple looks out of one clothing item. Today's Dress Up, Dress Down look is all about jeans. I love the look of dressed up jeans, because it looks so chic. I also love the casual look of jeans with a simple sweater, it looks casual, but put together at the same time.
