Valentine’s Day is so much fun for me; I look forward to it every year. Even if you don’t have a “valentine”, February 14th is a day full of candy, pink, and hearts — you can’t go wrong! I’ve put together another Valentine’s Day Gift Guide and, of course, these are all things I would love!
After I made the decision to renew VIB Rouge for 2016, I received an email from Sephora letting me know that my “Rouge Status is solid until December 31, 2017” and that I could pick up my VIB Rouge renewal gift if I haven’t already. And they showed a picture of the Nars blush that I wanted!

I first gained VIB Rouge status in 2013 with the inception of Sephora’s Rewards Program’s highest tier. I was really excited to see what exclusive perks were in store as a VIB Rouge and all that came with this elite level.

Hello, New Year! I really like the beginning of a new year; it’s a time to re-set and start fresh. Of course, you can set goals and start fresh at any time, but the new year is definitely a great choice.

The Starbucks For Life promotion is going on now through January 11th. I haven’t been going to Starbucks as frequently since I learned how to make my own Very Berry Hibiscus Refreshers, but of course I wouldn’t turn down free Starbucks for Life!
You can play to win Starbucks for Life in two ways — make a purchase at Starbucks with your registered Starbucks card or play for free through the website. You can play up to two entries per day and each play earns you a game piece or bonus stars!
In order to get your free game piece, just sign into your Starbucks Rewards account and click the link at the bottom of the Starbucks For Life home page. You’ll need to enter your address and then Starbucks will email a game piece link to your registered email address.

I remember hearing in school that “it only takes 21 days to make a habit” — If you want to become a morning person, you can — in just 21 days if you stick to your routine.
Becoming a morning person and establishing a morning routine will allow you to be more productive throughout the day, accomplish more of your goals, and tackle any challenges that arise.
Here are my 9 tips for how to be a morning person:

It’s almost a new year — 2016 is right around the corner! It’s the perfect time to start fresh and start thinking about a new planner to help you keep track of your goals and schedules. I absolutely love the Erin Condren Life Planner and I’ve been waiting patiently to finally start using my 2016 Erin Condren Life Planner!
There’s something really nice about beginning a new planner. I love the Erin Condren Life Planners because they are so colorful and fun. It’s easy to stay motivated and really use your planner when it is beautiful and exciting. I’ve lost motivation to use planners in the past and it ends up being a waste of a planner because the year is over and you can’t use it again. With Erin Condren Life Planners, each month is a fresh, new color and there are stickers included in the back of each planner that make you excited to plan and motivated to be organized.
I will be using the new, horizontal layout in my 2016 Life Planner for the first time and I can’t wait. You can read all about my 2016 Horizontal Layout Life Planner Review, but in this post, I wanted to share a few other “accessories” that I use to plan and to make my Life Planner more personalized and fun.

I absolutely love the Comforter Bubble Bar – hands down, number 1 favorite. I’m super sad they keep raising the prices, but I really love the smell, the pink, the bubbles — pretty much everything. Last time I was at LUSH, they gave me a sample of the Comforter Shower Cream but when I smelled it in store, I didn’t really care for it. Boy, was I wrong!!

I ordered my Polaroid Zip Instant Photo Printer from ErinCondren.com as a fun way to accessorize my new Life Planner which I am super excited about. I love photography and instant cameras — there’s something cool about having a picture you can hold rather than just swiping through on your phone. I love my Fujifilm Instax 210 Instant Camera and I already use those pictures to decorate my Life Planner, but this Polaroid Zip Instant Photo Printer is extra neat because you can print wirelessly (via bluetooth) any picture you want directly from your phone.
This digital printer is super small and compact — it reminds me of my portable battery charger at 2.9″ x 4.7″ x 0.9″ and only 6.6 oz. From the Erin Condren website, you can get $10 off your purchase by creating an account through my link. The printer comes in white and is $130. You can find the printer in a super pretty teal blue, red, or black on Amazon for the same price, but when you buy from Erin Condren, you get a cute sticker to customize your printer.
On Cyber Monday, I bought a new bottle of Purity Made Simple facial Cleanser by Philosophy from Sephora. It was their $15 for 12oz. bottle; a pretty good value (although $5 more than it was in previous years).
In the checkout, I saw some super great holiday “rewards” from the Rewards Boutique for 250 points and 500 points. I know the rewards are limited quantities (did someone say Epic Rewards/ Epic Fail?), so decided to use my 3000+ points to redeem a few things.

I love all of Lush Cosmetics’ bath products — bath bombs (make your own Lush-Inspired Bath Bombs), bubbleroons, and of course bubble bars! I’ve been a Lush customer for at least 5 years and I’ve posted all over about my favorite products, my Lush Hauls, the limited edition seasonal products, (hello, Valentine’s Day!) and more.
It’s no secret that I love a nice, long Lush bath — in fact, my go-to Lush favorite is the Comforter Bubble Bar. Love. Love. Love. So, when I recently went in to Lush, I was super sad to see that the price of the Comforter Bubble Bar had gone up again 🙁
I really love the Comforter, but the value for the price is getting kind of close for me. I cut it up into smaller pieces for my bath, but I thought it was pricey at $9.95, and now that it’s $11.95, I’ve started looking into other options for my bubble bath.
I found this Bubble Bar recipe on Hayley Williams’ YouTube and it was super fun to make. I made a ton of fun Bubble Bars and figured out a few tips for the next time I make these.
Here’s everything you’ll need to make your own Lush-inspired bubble bars:
