Outfit Post// Summer Getaway

When its 120 degrees in Phoenix the only thing I want to live in is sundresses + rompers. Luckily this adorable number from Lizard Thicket does the trick. I paired it with one of their super comfy bralettes in a coordinating color + it made for the perfect date night look. I will definitely be bringing this with me on my upcoming vacations. I love that this romper is only $39.99 + bralette is $22.50! Their pieces are so affordable + easy to wear. {plus who likes to wear real bras anyways...not this girl! haha} If you are local check out their shop in Dana Park + if you aren't shop their website {here} links below to my exact look//

Most of you know that I work at lululemon. I absolutely love my job + am blessed that I can call the people I work with my best friends. Through working for this rad company its only fitting that I have met some AMAZINGLY rad + talented individuals. One of my dearest coworkers + friends Afton started her etsy shop {here} + I just had to share her incredible talents with you all. She has a keen eye for design + is so creative. All of her designs are stunning. This new mom puts so much hardwork + effort into everything she does + her shop is no different. Go check out all her amazing pieces on her shop! I put my pieces from The Bubby Collection on our dresser in our bedroom. They were made for it :) I absolutely love them! "Love God, love people." xo

For any custom requests you can reach Afton here// thebubbycollection@gmail.com

Microblading Update Pt. 2// Q + A

Hi friends! I have recieved so many compliments + questions regarding my microbladed eyebrows from @highbrowamanda I thought it would be fun to do a little "frequently asked question" post - {I am now healing from my touch up appointment}.  Plus some of these questions I asked before getting microbladed as well. Enjoy!

Q//  How long do I need to wait after my microblading session to get my eyebrows waxed/how long before my microblading session do I need to get waxed?
A// 2 weeks before or after. Make sure you give your skin enough time to heal so it doesn't interfere with the microblading.

Q// Does the color come back after my brows peel?
A// Yes, sometimes the color does come back after they peel. Sometimes a thin layer of freshly healed skin has formed over the pigment and it will exfoliate off in a couple of weeks. You will see the color come back then.

Q// How long will my microblading last?
A// The average life span of microblading is 12-18 months depending on your skin type + how well you take care of them during the healing phase + after they have healed.

Q// How do I take care of them post session?
A// No heavy sweating. {this was the hardest part for me} aka no gym! Keep them as dry as possible, keep them out of the sun, do not exfoliate them + no harsh skin products.

Q// Does it hurt?!
A// Numbing cream is applied which will prevent you from feeling a lot of the microblading. {TMI but I happened to be on my period during the first session + I was a little more sensitive.} Everyone is different!

If you guys are debating whether or not to take the plunge on getting your brows done...I HIGHLY recommend it. I love not having to fill in my brows #iwokeuplikethis follow @highbrowamanda on Instagram + check out her amazing work. She is so talented + SO SWEET!

PS** Can I be the first one to call out the water bottles on Jeffs side of them bed...haha! #reallife
