Ten Beauty Items to Splurge on During the Sephora VIB Sale

Ten Beauty Items to Splurge on During the Sephora VIB Sale

The Sephora VIB sale for the upcoming Holidays is almost here. I was actually surprised to receive my 20% off coupon in the mail this past week as I was lucky enough to receive a friends and family code and I’ve already done some shopping. Of course, that doesn’t stop me from adding more items from my wishlist to my cart.  The Sephora VIB Holiday sale will go in waves with VIB Rouge getting first access November 6, 2015- November 9th.

The Changing of the Guard- Clothes Edition

This post was sponsored by SocialStar. I also love using Tide Pods so all opinions on them are my own. #TideThat Now that we’ve had a couple of back to back days where the weather has required me to leave the house with a jacket I think it’s time to make the switcheroo and pull out my cold weather clothes and put away all my summer fashions.

What’s inside the RedBook Beauty Box

What’s inside the RedBook Beauty Box

I recieved this BeautyBox for review. All opions are my own. Many of you know that I usually give beauty boxes the side eye. I mean I try to like them I really do, but most of the time they’re just a bunch of small samples that you can pick up at the dollar store or in the travel section of Target. I completely understand that Beauty Box’s are supposed to introduce you to new and upcoming brands and allow you to test out the products without the commitment of buying the full size, but after so many boxes of…

What to Do When You Feel Like Stopping Your Debt Snowball

What to Do When You Feel Like Stopping Your Debt Snowball

Before we started this Broke on Purpose journey any money that I would make working as a digital media influencer I was allowed to keep. Granted at that time I was working within one particular niche so I wasn’t generating tons of income, but it allowed me the ability to treat myself whenever I wanted. Now that we are living on a budget, any extra income that I make now goes straight to our debt. I enjoy it for the split second that it hits my account and then I take out money for tithes and taxes. The remainder then…
