It has been a little over a month since I started using NeuLash. In case you missed my first post, NeuLash is an eye lash serum that helps strengthen and grow your lashes. I was so excited to try this product because I have heard so many amazing things!
While it’s still only been a month & I plan on continuing till I use the bottle up, I have yet to notice a difference yet. As you can see in the picture above, taken with iPhone 6, they look similar (maybe a little fuller in the bottom picture). When I wear mascara and curl them, I still haven’t really noticed much of a difference. If I got nervous that I didn’t apply enough the night before, I would apply a little in the morning.
I will continue to use and see if there are any new results… I will keep you all posted! I have been told it can take up to 6 weeks to start to see results so STAY TUNED ?
In the end, I know it will be worth the wait.

Just because something is high priced doesn’t always mean it is better. Yes, it is necessary to invest in pieces and items that will last a lifetime, but not all the time. I’ve always had the notion to splurge on a great pair of 7 For All Mankind jeans or a gorgeous lace coat. Then save on the trendier items. What I would spend money on is different than what you might. Some girls love a beautiful handbag, others love lingerie or a pair of fabulous heels! Whatever you choose. These are a few recent finds that I’ve added to my closet! All under $25!
This top is the prettiest green. I recently paired it over my Asos Maxi Yellow Dress and it looked so cute! The colors really popped together!

Asos Sleeveless V Neck Body Suit
I haven’t worn a body suit, since my ballerina days circa 1985. It wasn’t until I gave one a try that I fell in love! These Asos ones are smooth, flattering and perfect for the humidity here in Florida. I pair one with a billowy skirt and at night throw on a blazer. I just ordered the above color and plan to get a few more! I ordered a size up so there was no (riding up!) I would rather be comfortable.
Hands Down the best under garments on the market. Comfortable & CUTE! Do yourself a favor and try a pair, you wont go back. The first weekend of October, Hanky Panky has their sample sale at Chelsea Market in NYC. I have gone the last three years. It is SO WORTH IT. Bras & Camis $15 and the low rise thongs are $11! I am thinking about flying back for it this year because it is that good! They are usually about $21 – $28 a pair. Click the link above: Neiman Marcus has a ton of pairs at 25% off!
So comfortable and perfect under a chunky sweater or slouchy top! Recently purchased one of these One Size Fits Most Cami Tops and I would love to add more. They are comfortable and supportive. Plus, I love the lace detail. They are available in EVERY color!
Monogrammed Scallop Envelope Clutch
I love supporting other Etsy Shop Owners. These bags are so cute & practical. I own one, and just ordered another one. I ALWAYS get compliments. You have your choice of 12 different colors, over 28 thread colors & countless monogram scripts. It fits everything you need to carry your iPhone, credit card, lipstick & maybe business cards! It also comes with a gold chain. The shop owner is graciously offering all iCrave readers 10 percent off ANY single bag order you place! Use code “10PERCENTOFFCLUTCH” Exprires 6/30! Making the bag ONLY $20 including shipping!
Have a sparkling day!

Since I was 23 years old, I haven’t sat in the sun for more than an hour at a time. While we all love that sun kissed look. I’d much rather preserve what I have, for as long as I can.
I will never claim to be a beauty expert, but I do know what has worked for me in the past and continues to work for me now. I have highlighted some of my favorite skin care products below. Along with drinking lots of H20 and getting a facial every 4-6 weeks, these Crave favorites keep me feeling and looking young!
Sunday Riley Flora Hydroactive Cellular Face Oil
Sunday Riley… I had heard rave reviews so I purchased this around Christmas. I use a face mask every other night. So my off nights, I apply Sunday Riley. The concentrated formula of Russian, Bulgarian & Turkish Roses along with a TON of antioxidants it nourishes fatigued skin & smooth fine line & wrinkles. I had to get over the smell at first but now it just feels like I’m rubbing a garden all over my face! I LOVE IT & the bottle will last at least a year! A little goes a long way.
Treat Beauty Confetti Cake Jumbo Organic Lip Balm
A good lip balm is KEY & when it is $5 & Organic EVEN BETTER. My lips tend to get dry depending on the seasons so staying hydrated is always key. I slather it on before bedtime. It’s triple the size of a normal lip balm, so I never lose it. The ingredients are what sold me. Coconut Oil, Beeswax, Shea Butter & Vitamin E. I’ve been using it for over a year and I will NEVER use anything else.
I have jumped on the Korean beauty band wagon & I’m loving every minute of it. Like I mentioned above, I have gotten into the routine of applying a face mask every other night. I use a sheet mask about once a week. Tony Moly makes some of the best I’ve used. My skin is left refreshed and glowing. At only $4 a mask. It’s an inexpensive treat for your face.
Fresh Limited Edition Rose Face Mask
I have used this mask for over two years. This mask is a gel formula. It is infused with real rose petals & pure rosewater that tones and hydrates your complexion. I have noticed my pores shrink the more I apply it. It is a smaller jar, but a little goes a long way. I have had my jar for about 6 months and I just ordered a new one. Pictured above is the Limited Edition jar.
I have been using this for 3 months and it is AMAZING. It is a washcloth that with a little water removes all your makeup! YES, all of it. Even waterproof mascara. After purchasing, wash in the washing machine. Air dry or use the dryer. When your ready to remove the days makeup. Add a little water and gently run the washcloth over your face, lightly wiping off mascara. Amazing! It all comes off with no soap or cleanser. After cleansing, I take a another wash cloth with warm water just to make sure I got everything. This product is truly remarkable and for $20 its a steal!
What are your favorite skin care products? I would love to hear!

Here we go!
- 6 years ago I worked in a restaurant in Bostons North End. I met some of my closest friends in that neighborhood. I also met Andrew there! I will share “Our Story” someday! It’s cute & romantic ❤️
- I “loathe” (hates a strong word) the look and sound of styrofoam. Just the thought of it makes my skin crawl.
- I store candy in my nightstand. On a nightly basis you can find gummies and starburst.
- I love being cozy.
- My grandmother collected coats. She had close to 100 of them. I credit her & my mother for introducing me to my love of fashion & design.
- My neice Quinn is the most beautiful little girl I’ve ever seen. She brings us so much joy! I go back and forth with wanting her to stay a baby forever & excited to see her grow and concur the world.
- I worked for the Ritz Carlton right out of college and met a TON of celebrities. Some were genuinely nice & most were weird.
- I’ve owned 2 pairs of sneakers my whole life. They are ONLY for the gym.
- So far, other than my 5 years with Andrew. The best year of my life has been my first year of college!
- I broke my foot last year doing a cannonball on Andrew in a pool. It’s never a dull moment!
- It used to take me forever to make a decision. Now I just go with my first thought and deal with it. It’s been working for me.
- I would rather carry 18 bags into the house. Than make two trips.
- I hate heights but I LOVE to fly! The feeling of getting away and seeing a new or old place. Hands down one of the best feelings in the world.
- My favorite show of all time is Mad Men
- Charleston, SC has a special place in my heart and our plan is to retire there someday!
- I can’t stand umbrellas. I would rather get soaking wet than carry one!
- Andrew is seriously the most amazing person I’ve ever known. He’s kind, hard worker and a genuinely happy content person. I am so blessed to call him my husband.
- I could eat sushi or pizza every day for the rest of my life and be happy!
- I love girl time! There is no better feeling than getting together with your girlfriends and laughing. Now that I live 1,300 miles away from my closest friends. It makes my time with them so precious. Every single one of them whether we’ve been friends since kindergarten or last year. They are all beautiful and special in their own way and I truly love them to pieces!
- My mother is still and will always be the best shopping buddy I could ever have. Maybe it’s because she tells me I look good in everything, but if I can’t shop with her. I would rather shop alone!
- I truly believe age is nothing but a number. I know people in their early twenties who act older than my 72 year old friends! Life’s too short!
- I was born on St. Patrick’s Day, a month early! It just so happens that my name was picked out before. How fitting! ?
- I’m a night owl & I am more creative at night. Ideas for jewels come alive in the wee hours of the morning.
- I recently started going to the gym & I’m surprised by how much I LOVE IT. I thought the walls would fall down when I walked in. It’s been really good, obviously for health purposes but my overall well being. I just feel better everyday
- When I was 23 I went back to school to be a court stenographer. I realized after a year that I don’t have the patience to sit in a court room and listen to someone lying about a crime they “probably” committed. I don’t regret going or leaving. It’s all a life lesson
- BONUS FACT: I love creating jewelry and there is no better feeling than knowing that a piece I design makes you feel beautiful. I have heard so many beautiful stories from crave girls all over the world. I love each and everyone of you! Thank you for making Crave even more beautiful just by wearing it?
What are some random facts about you?! Would love to hear!

When I first learned we were moving to Florida. I instantly began to wonder if my style would change. Visions of caftans, turbans and over-sized sunglasses began to dance around in my head! I have always been a fan of the laid back vintage beach style. I couldn’t wait to go vintage clothes shopping. I am still on the hunt for some good shops here in Orlando. If anyone knows of any please send them my way!
Until then, I will scour the internet in search of the LOOK!
Caftan//Turban//Sunnies//Clare V. Clutch//Vintage Beach Bag//Sandals
OMG! I love everything pictured!
My grandmother used to have the best beach bags! Those colorful plastic weave ones.. Remember? I recently found a ton of them on Etsy. This one is only $10! Someone needs to grab it 🙂 & those sunnies are ONLY $16!
As the weather is warming up across the country. Style shouldn’t stop at the beach! Have fun with it!
Wishing you all a Happy Mothers Day & a beautiful Sunday! ?
