Avocado and Cottage Cheese Toast.

I am always looking for simple and healthy lunch ideas. 

This one is definitely a favorite.

Here's what you need:

1 piece of wheat bread (toasted)

A few spoonfuls of cottage cheese (I absolutely love the Darigold brand)

1/2 an avocado sliced

Olive oil

Salt and pepper

First spread your cottage cheese on to your toast. Place the sliced avocado on top. And to finish it off lightly drizzle olive oil and top with a dash of salt and pepper.

Enjoy!!

HOW TO: Foundation, Highlight, & Contour.

Hey guys! I had so much fun filming this tutorial on how to contour and highlight your face! I know this seems like a lot of makeup and that it took me forever, but when I'm not filming and going into major detail, this takes me about 3-5 minutes (depending on how intense I'm wanting it of course.)  For me, this is not an everyday look. I typically like to contour and highlight like this only when I'm wearing bolder eye makeup. I hope you guys enjoy this tutorial!

Sexy & Romantic.

Who doesn't love a good, sexy smokey eye? Especially with a touch of glitter! I used mostly warm tones to create this look and to really make it dramatic, I used a piece of scotch tape to make the shadow on my outer corner nice and crisp. As you know, I love adding glitter because it makes the look more exciting, playful and romantic. I found some amber colored glitter and just pressed it on my inner lid towards the crease. A look like this would be perfect for a fun night out because it's definitely more dramatic and bold, however there are no rules so just have fun with it!
