Lou

Tommy
Ice, ice baby. Tommy is a blue-toned slate grey cream that will be the perfect transition color from fall to winter.
Overall thoughts on the Zoya Fall 2020 Luscious collection:
I\’ll be honest when I first saw the pictures of the collection I was underwhelmed. To me, it didn\’t look like a fall collection at all. Then I received the polishes and still thought the collection was disappointing. As we have all learned though, you should never judge a book by its cover, and that is why I swatched each color on my nails and quickly fell in love. Patrice, Bentley, Soleil, Mel, Lou, and Tommy are my favorite colors in the Zoya Fall 2020 Luscious collection. Which colors are you favoring for fall? Zoya Fall 2020 Luscious collection is now available.
13 Fall 2020 Beauty Trends
this is a sponsored post
Can you believe in just 30 days it will officially be fall? It\’s crazy that we have spent the past six months in a pandemic and time is just quickly flying by. With fall right around the corner, I thought I would share my favorite fall 2020 beauty trends.
1. A rosy glow. This fall make your cheeks pop by adding and an extra touch of blush along your cheekbones and blending it out toward your temples.
2. You were made for mauve. Mauve is the quintessential transition shade from warm to cooler weather. It\’s a more dramatic look than summery shades, however, you leave out the vampy fall tones. Mauve is great for most skin tones and looks gorgeous on lips, eyes, and even cheeks.
3. Will you be well red? Bold red lip colors were the spotlight of the fall 2020 runways. Play with a variety of different reds until you find the one that is perfect for you. Don\’t forget red is also perfect for your nails.
4. Make a statement with hair accessories. Blair Waldorf (Gossip Girl) has always been my headband inspiration. This fall release your inner Blair and grab some statement hairpieces.
5. Face mask matching nails. In case you haven\’t heard its cool to match your nails to your face mask.
6. Matte nails. Matte nails were popular a few years ago, you know you have a couple matte bottles laying around. Grab them and give yourself a trendy matte manicure.
7. Gradient nails. This is probably my absolute favorite trend, probably because I have been doing it for a few years. Grab give shades of your favorite color and get to polishing. I can\’t wait to do green gradient nails.
8. Neutral nails. With the bright fashion trends coming out this fall, get ready for neutral manicures. Neutral manicures are the perfect juxtaposition to bright colors clothing. Zoya nail polish has some gorgeous neutral shades, you\’ll definitely be able to find one that matches your skin tone.
9. Keeping it dewy. Most of us have found ourselves bare-faced this summer. Turn up the bare-faced look this fall by adding glossy highlights and a touch of dew.
10. Grungy and smokey eyes. Welcome back \’90s goth and punk makeup looks. Think smudgy and smokey eyes.
11. Golden girl. Make your eyes pop this fall when you add gold to your eye makeup routine. Think a thin layer of gold eyeshadow on the lid and inner corner of your eye, then smoke out the crease with a neutral brown. Channel the grungy look by adding some smudged black eyeliner to the mix.
12. Just wing it. Welcome thin and sharp winged eyeliner. Pair the winged eyeliner look with neutral, vampy, or red lips.
13. Colorful mascara. Add a pop of color in a whole new way with a tube of colorful mascara. Try blue lashes with brown eyeshadow for a sky and earth look. Or take the trend to a whole new level when you pair pink mascara with a clean face.
What trends will you be trying this fall? If you\’re looking for more fall beauty trends and how to create them Amanda Jo Organic Bunny has your back.
Jack Turns 8
Dear Jackers,
How are you already eight years old? It feels like just yesterday I brought your energetic self home and you change my entire life. As someone who never wanted a pet, I found myself absolutely in love with you, even though you kept taking potty breaks under my Christmas tree. When I brought you home, I promised I would give you everything I could and love you to pieces. We were both everything that each other needed and still needs. You\’re my best friend, favorite adventure buddy and the best snuggler a girl could ever ask for.
You welcome me home with the sweetest \”I love yous,\” you put up with me taking your picture constantly, even when you\’re sleeping. You have a heard of gold, and I honestly could not be thriving through 2020 without you. 2020, resulted in me losing my job and you gaining your best friend home with you 24/7. We learned that you love bike rides, car camping, hiking in a backpack and the smallest adventures make you happy. We discovered you absolutely love salmon and go crazy for it. We welcomed new challenges and found even more love. You are a bundle of joy and I am thankful everyday for having the best little Jack Rabbit in the universe.
I hope you\’re car camping woodland themed birthday paw-ty was everything you could have ever wanted. From delicious cake (that frosting was unreal) to surprise salmon this was one birthday fit for a little prince.
Happy Birthday, Jack. Please stop getting older.
Love you always, Your Mama
Five Things
Happy Friday! Can you believe we only have one more Friday left in August? For a year of not being able to do things, it sure is flying by. Week 23 of quarantine has come to a close, gyms and movie theaters are still closed, stores and restaurants have a limit to how many people can be in them. This week was actually an extremely chill week for me. I decided to take a break from job hunting, and blogging and just enjoy the week with Jack. Jack turns 8 today! Can you even believe it? Stayed tuned for a special post today about Jack\’s birthday.
This past week, I tried crab legs for the first time, caught a beautiful sunset, received a positive vibe necklace, gave Jack extra snuggles, and tried Hungryroot meal service.
Cruise Through Life: 10 Benefits of the 2020 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring
Lately, more than ever before, I’ve been turning to time spent in my car as a moment to escape. As someone who is always on the go, attending events, adventuring, and more – the time outside of my house makes me feel like things are normal, at least for a little bit. I recently had the opportunity to partner with A Girls Guide to Cars to experience everything the 2020 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring has to offer and let me tell you it was everything I could have hoped for and more.
I mentioned that I am spending more time in my car, and that time isn\’t spent just driving around. Jack (my dog) and I have spent a lot of time driving, eating, and sleeping in the car. Since we\’ve been spending time in my personal car, I decided that we needed to spend the same quality time in the 2020 Lincoln Aviator and see how it stacks up. Today I am sharing 10 benefits of the Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring – from a solo traveler (plus her pups) perspective.
10 Benefits of the 2020 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring
1. Large cargo area
The 2020 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring is definitely designed for a family. With two captains chairs and a third row that seats three, the Lincoln Aviator is packed with plenty of family space. I don\’t have a family, however, I do need a large cargo area. When you put down the captain\’s chairs and third row, there is plenty of space for car camping necessities as well as a place to sleep.
Pro Tip: The 2020 Lincoln Aviator is quintessential if you want a vehicle that you can drive to work, but also take on a trip and sleep in. It\’s comfortable, spacious and brings you the best of both worlds.
2. Massaging front seats
As someone who is constantly on the road looking for her next adventure and sleeping in her car, the massaging driver and passenger seats are a game-changer. Relieve stress and tension when you turn on the massaging seats.
Pro Tip: I highly recommend turning on the massaging seats during long road trips. When you reach your destination you\’ll feel more relaxed.
3. Panoramic sunroof
The panoramic sunroof was one of my favorite features. I love letting as much sun and natural air in as I can, and the panoramic sunroof definitely allows you to do that.
Pro Tip: The panoramic sunroof is perfect for stargazing.
4. Revel sound system
The Revel sound system allows everyone in the cabin to enjoy a pristine listening experience. The system comes with 28 speakers that are placed in various locations throughout the 2020 Lincoln Aviator to provide a 3D listening effect.
Pro Tip: When you play the music that has been recorded live it actually sounds like you are right there at the concert.
5. Heated and air-conditioned seats
For many, heated seats have become more of a must-have item instead of a luxury. That being said, have you ever sat down into a leather seat in the summer and thought your skin was going to get third-degree burns? You can worry less about that with the air-conditioned seats. Turn on the air-conditioned seat button to cool the seats before you sit down. Better yet, turn them on so you\’ll be cool after being outside in the heat.
Pro Tip: The heated seats are great if you have a sore back. Combine the heated seats with a massage and you\’ll understand why I spend so much time in my car.
6. Co-Pilot 360
Meet Co-Pilot 360, your new best friend – also known as driver-assist and safety features. This includes adaptive cruise control, automatic high beam headlights, lane-keep, blind-spot monitors, steering assist, road sign recognition, and collision braking.
Pro Tip: All these safety features really do make you feel safer when you\’re out on the road.
7. 30-way electric seats with adjustable headrest and seatback
I am petite and always find it difficult to get comfortable in a car, this sometimes results in a miserable road trip. This was definitely not the case with the 2020 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring. You can actually contour the seat to you.
8. Several drive modes to choose from
With several drive modes available, the driver can customize how the 2020 Lincoln Aviator sets itself up for different conditions. The drive mode can be selected when you turn a knob, that is conveniently located in the center front console.
Get to know the 2020 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring drive modes
Normal drive mode provides comfort that is suitable for most conditions.
Conserve (eco) mode favors efficiency over aggressive handling.
Excite (sport) mode makes the performance a priority and will provide an exhilarating ride for adrenaline junkies or anyone who wants to add a little excitement to their commute.
Slippery (rain/snow/gravel) mode makes an effort to maintain traction.
Deep conditions (snow/sand) mode like slippery mode will make an effort to maintain traction.
9. Heads-up display
Head up display allows you to see how fast you are going, what the speed limit is, and sometimes more without having to lower your eyes.
Pro Tip: This is great when you need to be hyper-focused on the road because it is busy, or you\’re in a city with a lot of people around.
10. Active Park Assist
Can\’t parallel park? No problem! Not sure how you\’re going to get out of that parallel parking spot? Again, no problem! Active Park Assist will get you into that parallel parking spot with ease and out of it like a pro.
Overall thoughts: I absolutely loved driving the 2020 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring. The vehicle was safe, comfortable, and overall provided a wonderful driving experience.
