Jones Road Beauty has recently arrived on the scene.

Have you ever tried the Drunk Elephant Babyfacial? Well this is similar to that. Has the same "tingly burn" you feel and baby soft skin results, but guess what? This is 70% cheaper. Only $24 compared to $80 for Drunk Elephant's peel. Don't get me wrong... I really like Drunk Elephant's peel, but this one is so cheap. Don't know about the long term results of this product, so time will tell.

What type of world are we living in?! When you're stuck at home, what else is there to do but to try new products.


Smashbox Cosmetics has a new and improved setting powder. Turn the pan to shave off a top layer of the powder to get fresh product everytime. Nothing is worse than ruined powder from double dipping. This prevents your powder form becoming compromised. Blurs, sets, and makes your look flawless for hours.

Are you excited? Because I am! These brow products from Urban Decay are really grabbing my interested so I wanted to share the sneak peek with you guys.



What are you picking up? I'm totally intrigued with the Brow Finish Waterproof Brow Gel in Midnight Cowboy! Glitter eyebrows? I feel like I could dig it.

Lol you like this gif I made? #saltbae

If you are anything like me, you have tried almost every meal delivery kit available. They are so EXPENSIVE and sometimes you feel like you're not even getting the most bang for your buck. I discovered EveryPlate which is the most affordable meal delivery kit on the market today. It comes with everything you need to make a delicious meal in about 30 minutes. Fresh, pre-measured ingredients all in an insulated box complete with recipe cards.

This meal plan is $4.99 per meal. I receive three meals with two servings each for $29.94 plus $8.99 shipping. That meals your weekly meal plan comes to $38.94. There is five meal options to choose from and one of them is a premium option that you can add for an additional $3 per serving. These meal options are not usually vegetarian or vegan friendly.

I use EveryPlate in order to save money at the grocery store and have a great home cooked meal six times a week. I'm a single lady, heyyyy! I divide my meals into two, sometimes three, which will last me an entire week til my next delivery. It comes out to be cheaper to do this meal plan rather than going to the grocery store, because if you're anything like myself, I end up getting other things that are not just on my menu! I can't say no to deserts! When I use a meal plan like this, I also save myself from eating too many snack foods and I'm able to stay within my calorie goals. (I'm trying to lose some weight).



Compared to most meal delivery plans, sometimes you do not even get a side item. With this recipe, I got TWO! It was very easy to prepare this meal. You roast the zucchini and garlic in the oven, boil the potatoes, then cook the chicken. You also prepared a pan gravy style sauce for your chicken which was mmmm good. Promise.

I must add customer service is also easy to reach by chat that is open 24/7. I have contacted them at midnight with no issues. If there is ever an ingredient missing, they refund partial money for that ingredient. On these hot summer days, they make sure to pack it well. The boxes themselves could be a little sturdier, but they do add extra ice packs for these HOT days.

I highly recommend using EveryPlate. I have used higher end meal delivery services and I see no difference with using this one. There is another meal delivery service that is the same price as EveryPlate. However, their meals are not as flavorful and they do not give you as many ingredients. It is hit or miss with the pantry items you are supposed to have on hand. For example, they want you to have butter, but will provide you with flour. The other meal delivery service provides you with butter, but wants you have flour and eggs. I haven't had to use eggs for any of the meals in EveryPlate. So we'll see.

If you're interested in using EveryPlate for yourself, I have a referral code that allows you to receive $20 off your first meal subscription.

Disclaimer: I was not sponsored for this post. However, if you do use my referral link for EveryPlate, I do receive compensation off my next box. Which I appreciate very much because I am poor and hungry.

UPDATE: It's real. It's out. It can be purchased here. 

If you are an avid beauty user like I am. You have seen the spoilers for the new Urban Decay Naked Cherry palette. I'm 99.9% sure that this is a authentic palette.
My research is based on a few key pieces of evidence:

1. Urban Decay has trademarked the terms: Naked Cherry, Naked AF, and Naked Honey.

2.  The code on the back of the package does come back to being registered to Urban Decay and being produced sometime in July 2018.

I don't need anymore evidence. I am sold that this is happening sometime soon.


Pictures have popped up from it being introduced in Thailand already. Am I impressed?! Ehh, it's hard to tell from the pictures. The palette seems like it's a cross between the Naked Heat palette and the Naked 3 palette with the pink tones going on. With already having all of the Naked Palettes (the only one I don't have is the Ultimate Basics), do I really need another? It's becoming exhausting!



The colors are as followed from left to right: Hot Spot, Caution, Bang Bang, Feelz, Juicy, Turn On, Ambitious, Bing, Devilish, Young Love, Drunk Dial, Privacy. They range from pale pinks, peachy, to berry.

Yes......

They are very pretty. Do we need more red toned eye shadow? It was the newest trend in beauty this year. For some it's hard to pull off without looking like you got punched in the eye. The Naked Heat palette of mine looks hardly touched. I could put it back in the box and they could put it back on the shelf. Well, they can't because that's gross and it is used. My point is that I haven't picked it up past the month I bought it in.

Honestly, my verdict is I have my red, burgundy, and berry shades already. If you really look at this palette, it's almost the same shade range as the Anastasia Modern Renaissance palette.

I'm going to keep telling myself I don't need it, but watch me. I'll get it.

Oh, and P.S. Urban Decay, the Elements Palette is cute and all, but I didn't buy the Distortion palette the first time.



What I'm really interested in is Naked Honey!

It comes to a point in a person's life when they realize:

A. They are not in their early 20s anymore

AND

B. They cannot afford Botox

So, what is one to do?! You purchase enough skincare that works and doesn't break the bank.
