Anyone else hear about the impending heat wave coming up? I’m sorry, I thought I lived by the ocean breeze. I don’t know about you but I could go for some true fall weather right about now. While we’re at it lets throw in a few trees with huge burnt orange leaves and a large chunky knit sweater too. In true makeup junky fashion I’ve been leaning hard into the joys of […]

I try my best to put effort into getting dressed and ready everyday because I work at home and it mentally prepares me to go out and conquer my day. […]

Miley Cyrus is on the rise y’all!! And so is this makeup trend that is the perfect soft and simple Memorial Day makeup.

April 4, 2017January 8, 2025

by Alice Christine

Today I want to talk about something very near and dear to my heart… going to church. Growing up church was a integral part of my family’s weekly routine.

The church was my second home and it was easy to go every week. After leaving home in Redondo Beach and going to college an hour away…this routine ended. Why I stopped going to Church For College I attended Azusa […]
