I am teaming up with Smile Brilliant to show you guys how great their teeth whitening products are and to give away a teeth whitening kit of $149 value! I have always been self conscious about my teeth because they are so small, my smile is small, and my teeth have never been as white as I wanted them to be. Smile Brilliant has helped me gain the confidence in my smile that I have forever longed for!

Schedules and lifestyles can be very busy, as a full-time college student I feel that every single day! Always on the go and a coffee cup in hand, Smile Brilliant fits into my busy schedule perfectly. I am an avid coffee drinker, which unfortunately is not very good for my pearly whites! Smile Brilliant’s products have erased all the stains on my teeth, and now I can drink coffee without worrying about my teeth getting more stains.

The teeth whitening process is a lot easier than one would think! Personally, I have sensitive teeth but that’s okay because Smile Brilliant carries desensitizing gels as well. I do my whitening at night time, right before bed so my gels can work their magic without any disruptions from food or drink. The process is super quick and easy, the first step is the teeth whitening gel. Smile Brilliant has custom-fitted whitening trays, so they are comfortable and fit me perfectly! Teeth whitening gel can stay on teeth from anywhere between forty-five minutes and three hours. I started with low time and worked my way up to three hours. After the teeth whitening gel step, I use my desensitizing gel for 20 minutes. This step helps me not to have any sensitivity after the whitening process, professional whitening kits can sometimes cause sensitivity, but Smile Brilliant has done an amazing job helping this situation!

Happy Whitening!

There are so many cute trends floating around this spring. I have a few certain things that I have found at GREAT prices I just had to share with you guys!

This spring, well actually always, I am obsessed with all things pink! The statement earrings pictured above are only around $10 from ASOS! YES PLEASE – I am wearing these earrings to formal with a black and white dress. This dress is currently sold out, but there are a ton of similar options on ASOS.com, I got this dress when it was super low in stock and was only $12! $12 Easter dress? What a bargain! Espadrilles are IT this season, these also came from ASOS and were only $12, there are a few left in stock in different sizes. They are super cute and tie around the ankle. My Gucci dupe belt came from Amazon, this belt is great quality and looks just like the real thing, it is only $16 on Amazon.

I recently found my new favorite inexpensive foundation! L.A. girl pro matte foundation is only $12 on Amazon and wears flawlessly! It is extremely light, great coverage, and perfect for all day wear. I have been wearing Too Faced – Born This Way foundation for a little over a year now, and this L.A, girl foundation wears just as great. Ulta also has it for $8.99!

Planning the perfect weekend with your girls can be a little tricky! Whether it be a bachelorette trip, birthday weekend, or just a girls getaway, there is only so much time to plan the itinerary top to bottom! There are ways to go about saving money and splurging on certain things as well.

My sister’s bachelorette trip was over St. Patrick’s Day weekend in New Orleans, Louisiana. We wanted to save money on the room so we could go shopping and eat at some really great places. We booked with Airbnb and it was just a short Uber ride to the French Quarter  which ended up being perfect for us. While splitting the Uber ride each time we used it, it saved lots of dollars rather than having to park somewhere each time we wanted to visit downtown.

Our trip was only about two days long, Friday night we got ready and went to dinner and then walked around the French Quarter, going in and out of a few places. Saturday morning we threw Lauren’s lingerie shower, it was the perfect time to do the shower because we set up a bubbly bar and had mimosas! After a long day of shopping, we got dinner and visited the French Quarter one last time before returning home on Sunday after getting beignets of course.

Most people think the decorations are the most complicated part of a bachelorette party but they are definitely easier than most think! We split up the decor and just assigned certain things to different girls in the group. Party favors, signs, balloons, photo backdrop, snacks, mixes, and utensils are usually the main things needed to plan the girls weekend perfectly! We had themes for the two nights we were there, Friday night was 70’s themed and Saturday night we each wore black while the bride wore white. One  of the bridesmaids made matching shirts for all of us and they were super cute!

Planning a girls weekend is so much fun, and not too expensive!
