Makeup must-haves of 2019

Happy Monday everyone!  I haven’t done a beauty-oriented post for a while now so I thought today would be a great day to run through all my absolute makeup must-haves of 2019.  I have so many incredible products in my makeup bag and many of them I have repurchased over and over and over again so I really know their worth.  Many of these products I use on a daily basis and whenever I’m ready for a full-glam kind of day, I’ll actually use them all.  Let’s dive into my all-time favourite beauty products!

Ways to wear a Leopard Print Midi Skirt

My most authentic self

There’s nothing quite like first light in the morning.  The earth is calm.  The birds are chirping.  The air is crisp.  It’s a new day, a fresh start, a rebirth.  As I take a deep breath acknowledging all the possibilities the new day brings, I realise with total awe how grateful I am for so many things and how at peace I am with my most authentic self.  The relationship you build with yourself is the most important relationship you could possibly work on.  While it’s only human to go through cycles of working on improving yourself, it’s also always worth taking a moment to check in with yourself and evaluate your progress.  Here’s a look at me, today, at my most authentic self.
