Packing for an upcoming trip or weekend getaway can sometimes be a daunting task. Particularly, when it comes to beauty products. If you're like me, you don't want to over pack. Especially, if you're trying to fit everything in a carryon. With all the traveling we've been doing this past month, I've had several questions about my travel beauty routine and products that I was featuring on snapchat or instastories. Here are the products I've been traveling with lately: ...
When Austin and I traveled to Charleston a few weeks ago (you can read our travel guide here), we stayed at The Mills House. It was a beautiful hotel and the perfect location to walk around the city. While we were there, I got several emails and comments asking if I would share my packing essentials and suggestions. I personally, love to read "in my bag" types of posts so I am excited to share one with all of you! ...

Happy Friday! Today is the beginning of public access to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (meaning anyone can shop) and what better way than to share with you all a few of my favorite handbags, including my neutral tote bag. If you're not in the market for a new handbag, you can still see what I purchased from the sale or my Top 25 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks. ...
As promised here is a peek into my travel beauty bag. I shared a few snapchats (username: theteacherdiva) of my products during our recent trip to Europe (travel details coming soon!), but wanted to include a full post going into detail on each product. A few of you were curious about my skin care routine and miscellaneous beauty items so I was sure to go into detail on each of those. ...
As Summer quickly approaches, I can't help but reach for some of my favorite Summer pieces. A few of you have emailed asking about accessories you can take with you to the beach and I wanted to share with these pieces from White Elephant Designs. I am currently planning a family beach trip of my own and these will definitely be on my packing list! ...
I'm the first to admit that I am a beauty junkie. If there's a new lipstick on the market, it's hard for me to say no. And if you tell me a mascara will make my lashes look longer than ever, I've already handed over my credit card. But when it comes to fragrance, I'm a little more selective. I've never been the type to have an overwhelming assortment of perfumes on my dresser, but I do have two or three that I rotate weekly.
My current go-to fragrance is Bombshell from Victoria's Secret. Their iconic fragrance is ideal for everyday wear, both day and night. ...
Last weekend I had the joy of getting to room with my sweet friend Katey McFarlan at our work conference. Many of you know her for her gorgeous home and adorable puppy, Peaches, but I am excited to share a fun project we worked on featuring our favorite travel must haves. ...
Over the past few weeks Austin and I have been traveling much more than normal. From family vacations to destination weddings, it has been a very busy past couple of weeks! When I travel, I always like to take one of my biggest totes as a carryon. My Goyard GM Tote from Keeks Designer Handbags, has been a favorite of mine for travel and everyday. It's the perfect size to carry all of my essentials, especially while traveling!
Louis Vuitton Key Chain | Gigi New York 2015 Planner (2016 version here) | Goyard Pouch (comes with the bag) | Sonix iPhone Case | MAC 'Hip & Happy' Lipliner | Bobbi Brown 'Almost Nude' Lipgloss | NARS 'Claudia' Lipstick | Jo Malone 'Lime Basil and Mandarin' Perfume | FRENDS

I Hope all you are having a wonderful weekend! I wanted to share with you some of my favorite beauty finds from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. It is still Early Access, so if you have the Nordstrom Debit or Credit card, you get to shop the sale early and take part in these great deals. ...
Leather tote bags have been a staple for many handbag designers for the last several years. The tote is easily one of my most used bags simply because it holds everything! I use my Louis Vuitton Never Full and Gigi New York Teddie Tote on a regular basis but I was excited to introduce this Rebecca Minkoff Unlined Leather Tote to the mix.
From lipsticks, iPhone, planner, notebook, keys, to gum wrappers-- the list of items in my handbag seem to be forever growing. This Leather Tote does the trick just fine and still leaves room for any other goodies I can manage to fit in there.
First, let's talk about the two toned leather. How gorgeous is that silvery-gold inside?
These Yosi Foldable Flats (more colors here) are a life savor...or feet savor I should say. I have about 7 pairs and I would wear them while teaching or even on the weekends if we were going to be walking a lot. They are very comfy and conveniently fold up into that little pouch. I always have a pair with me or in the car, just in case my ...
