What I Read: March & Week’s End Link Up

April 13, 2015

My book picks for March started off not so good. It was bad book after bad book for me and I just wasn’t feeling it. Finally by the end of the month things had turned around with a few good ones such as Fangirl, Reality Boy, and All the Bright Places. Now, onto what I read last month!

What I Read: March 2015

Wake by Anna Hope – ★★ – Honestly, I’m not sure what I expected from this book, but I just could not get into it. Every time I tried to listen to it, even when I was just folding laundry, I couldn’t focus on it. It just was… boring. I gave up.

Lillian Eve Nail Polish Duo Box Review

April 11, 2015

Product Sample: Complimentary nail polish samples were provided to me in exchange for this review.

I’m pretty sure it’s no secret how much I love beauty products. It shouldn’t be a surprise then that I jumped for joy when Lillian Eve Nail Polish offered to send me one of their LE Duo welcome boxes to try out! I always have more room in my heart (and in my house… kind of) for more nail polish. ;)

10 Must-Have Travel Beauty Essentials

April 10, 2015

Looking ahead to spring and summer, I’ve already been on a few weekend getaways, and we have some longer trips planned that call for some serious packing. And it never fails, I almost always forget something vital in my beauty routine and then I suffer. Anytime I’m traveling by airplane I absolutely need gentle cleansing wipes or cleanser. And when I’m going somewhere warm, of course, I need some sunscreen. I almost always forget one of these things and then am stuck using whatever the hotel provides or what I can grab at the drug store. Yikes.

DailyLook Elite Box April 2015

April 9, 2015

Affiliate Links: If you click a link below, I may receive a credit if you sign up. I pay for this subscription.

Remember last month’s DailyLook? It was my first look at a fairly new styling service, similar to Stitch Fix. Both services assign you a stylist who then handpicks 5+ items and ships them off to you to try on, keep what you like, and return what you don’t. There is a $20 styling fee, but my first three months were waived for signing up during their trial period. They’ve reduced their free trial to 2 months, so if you haven’t tried it yet and are interested, you should sign up now! Here’s my referral link if you’re interested, I always appreciate it. :)

Anyways! I had a new stylist this month. She mentioned visiting my blog and social media sites, and keeping my feedback from last month in mind. She also had mentioned a shortage of spring/summer pieces, so I was super curious as to what was inside!

Seattle Food Tours Blogger Meetup

April 8, 2015

A couple of weekends back, I ventured downtown despite some insane traffic (due to all the events happening that weekend and lane closures) to meet up with a group of bloggers for the Seattle Food Tours at Pike Place Market! Of course this post is also timely because I just shared where to eat, shop, and what to do in Seattle at Have Need Want. Talk about kismet, right?

Pike Place Market: Public Market Center Sign / hellorigby seattle lifestyle and fashion blog

Our adventure began in the heart of Pike Place Market, hearing the history of how it began, how it almost was destroyed, and how the people of the city resurrected it. It’s one of my favorite places to recommend to new visitors to Seattle. From the farmers to the artisans to the amazing food available in just a few steps in every direction, Pike Place has it all.
