DIY- Easy Infant Burger Costume Tutorial

Well here we are. The day before Halloween and if you’re like me, you’re scrambling last minute for a costume for your child. Actually, I planned Little’s costume over a month ago but kept putting off making it. I’m always a DIY costumer. Growing up that’s how my family did it. One year in high school, my brother was an 80s business man and was a hit (this was before the full wave of nostalgia and rush of social media).

Product Review: The Melisa Michelle Palette by Ulta

I’ve always been a fan of Ulta’s in house brand of makeup. It began by necessity. The first Ulta near me opened in 2009 in the midst of the recession.
