SHARING SOME MAY DESIGNS LOVE

It's no secret us File to Style gals love ourselves a great notebook.  A few weeks ago I scored a new May Designs notebook on sale and had the best time personalizing my cover. With so many options I probably spent way more time than necessary but I couldn't help myself. And the funny thing is the cover I picked was my first choice but isn't that how things always work out....lol!  

When I opened my package I found out about my new favorite day #NationalNotebookDay.  I mean seriously what a great idea. I've enjoyed popping over to their Insta feed throughout the day to see all the fun pics.  

One of the best things about these notebooks is keeping them on display.  Once I'm done using them I just can't bring myself to toss it out so instead I'm going to start a collection.  It will be fun going back to my old books to see my random brain dumps or what crazy idea I was cooking up at the time.

  

Happy National Notebook Day!!

XOXO

This has been my favorite facial spray for years, but I really want to try this one! I use these to set my makeup and add a little hydration to my skin everyday!

How cute is this sleepy little mug? Totally need to add it to my collection. Also loving this Etsy shop, everything is so cute!

Kind of obsessed with these scalloped sandals.

How adorable is This scalloped tote? Best part; it's under $50!

Thinking about adding this sparkly bauble to my collection.

Swoozies has their Kate Spade and Ban.Do academic agendas up for pre-sale!

I'm a little late to this party, but I just started watching Gossip Girl on nexflix and I can't stop- it's so addicting!

This dress is perfect for any occasion this summer!

BEST IN BEAUTY // BEAUTY BAG SPILL SAVE VS. SLPURGE

I'll admit it... I'm a beauty product hoarder. I love trying new products weather it's a new mascara or a new cleanser for my skin. I think good quality beauty products that actually work are available for any budget, however I also think that there are some products that are worth the splurge! Today I'm sharing some of my favorite "splurge" and "save" products that I love!

1. Foundation- Splurge

Foundation is something that I like to spend a little money on since I have pretty sensitive skin and I like to avoid things that will potentially clog my pores and break me out. I learned through going to the dermatologist that sticking to makeup that is mineral based is better for your skin since the makeup won't sink into your pores and cause breakouts. My favorite has been Bare minerals, specifcally the complexion rescue and the powder foundation, but I've been wanting to try the It Cosmetics CC cream

2. Powder- Splurge

My favorite powder is the IT Cosmetics bye bye pores powder. It's Translucent and doesn't make your makeup look cakey or powdery. I even like to wear this alone on days I'm not wearing makeup because it does a great job at keeping my skin shine-free!

3. Blush & Bronzer- Splurge

Noticing a trend? Like I mentioned earlier, I tend to spend a little money on the products that go on my face since my skin is so sensitive. Right now my favorites are Bare Minerals and Smashbox! I've been looking for some great drugstore options to test out, so leave suggestions below!

4. Eyeliner- Save

I can be picky about eyeliners since I want something that is pigmented as well as last all day. That being said, I've actually found some great options at the drugstore that actually work really well! Right now I'm using the Maybelline line stiletto eyeliner and so far I love it!

4. Mascara- Splurge/Save

I've found great mascaras at both price points! Right now I'm loving the Benefit roller lash as my go-to. I like my mascara to not clump up, last all day and give my lashes a lot of volume!

Thanks for stopping by, we would love to hear your beauty bag favs in the comments below!

HOLIDAY HUSTLE // MOTHER'S DAY GIFT GUIDE

ABD floral mug // Nike free running shoe // Tula purifying face cleanser (obsessed with this stuff!) // Tula discovery kit // Swell water bottle // Lisi Lerch tassel earrings // Neutrogena body wash // Pajama set // OPI nail polish

With Mother's day right around the corner we thought this would be the perfect time to round up some of our favorite gift ideas that we know any mom will love! Let us know if you have any additional gift ideas by leaving us a comment!

ABD floral mug- My mom loves her coffee, and who doesn't love having a collection of cute little mugs to drink it out of? A cute mug with a box of her favorite K-cups or some of her favorite coffee would make the perfect gift!

Nike free running shoe- Any mom would really appreciate a nice pair of tennis shoes, especially when they're cute and comfy! Perfect for weekend wear or running errands!

Tula purifying face cleanser- I'm seriously obsessed with this stuff! My skin has never felt so smooth or looked so clear! This would make a great gift since the probiotic technology behind this brand makes it suitable for any skin type. Also, the discovery kit would make a great gift since you can try out every product!

Swell water bottle- These are one of my favorite gifts to give because everybody can find a use for a high quality water bottle. These are great since they keep your drinks hot or cold- perfect for fresh water or coffee when you're on the go!

Neutrogena body wash- The other day my mom and I were out shopping when she pointed out this body wash she has been wanting and hinted at as a little gift for the big day- you can never go wring with a luxurious body wash!

Pajama set- These are great gifts to give because who doesn't love sleeping in a cozy pair of PJs?? The Gilligan O'malley ones from target are my favorites!

OPI nail polish- Treat your mom to a mani/pedi on her special day! How fun would it be to grab lunch at her favorite place and head over to the salon for a little pampering??

Thank you so much for reading! How are you celebrating your mom this mother's day?

XOXO
Angela & Amy
