Beauty By Liberty

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful time with your families on the holidays. I've been wanting to post a little bit about my favorite nail polish company for awhile now, and I figure now is the perfect time! Who doesn't love a good deal? Julep uses the most impactful ingredients, while avoiding carcinogens like formaldehyde, toluene, and DBPs. On their site, they say " Julep nail polish is 5-free and vegan-friendly. We steer clear of formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, toluene, DBP, camphor, and animal ingredients or byproducts. "  Julep's mission is to connect girlfriends through beauty to inspire growth, that's one reason they name their colors after the women who inspire them. I love that the nail colors are all named after women! Here is a video if you'd like to learn more about Julep and it's history.  This month, you can  join Maven  and get 50% off and FREE shipping on your Winter Escape Welcome Box. Not only does this limited editi...

Hi friends! This was very challenging as I always find it difficult to shop for men. I had to look around online for gifts that men would find useful or just enjoyable. This is going to be shorter than my  Top 10 Stocking Stuffers For Her , for now anyway. I don't know why, but men are so much harder to shop for! (Coming from a woman LOL!) So I thought it'd be a great idea to take the time to find some little things to stuff in his stocking, in case any of you reading this need help as well! I may come back and add some more things on here soon!   Philips Norelco Beard Trimmer  $19.95 - This is very affordable, with 10 built-in length settings with an exclusive locking feature. Skin-friendly trimmer with rounded tips and comb prevent skin irritation.  Neff  Beanies  from $16 - This is something I didn't even have to give much thought about, my husband wears beanies almost religiously. Especially since we live in such a cold area. I th...

Today I had an interesting thought: why not share health tips (and recipes) on my blog as well as beauty tips? Since inner health does affect outer beauty after all! Eating healthy is crucial for so many different reasons (especially if your skin tends to break out). Excess sugar and fats are obviously known for promoting fat storage, but they also promote early signs of aging.  We all love sweets, though. I feel like I always have a sweet tooth! (Who's with me?) So when I want to indulge in something sugary, I try my best to go for healthy desserts. YES, there is such a thing. ;) My sister found this recipe for healthy, flourless pumpkin muffins and I wanted to share it with you all as well. And don't worry, if you're vegan, I've altered the recipe for you! This is such an easy and DELICIOUS treat to make, especially this season. Who doesn't love pumpkin everything during Autumn? I've made this recipe quite a few times and I love it! I personally prefer ...

Hi gorgeous people! I have been obsessing over painting my nails lately, A LOT. I have grown a pretty decently sized nail polish collection over the last couple years. I didn't have much time for awhile to pain my nails when Rylee was a newborn. But now that she's a toddler, I have tons of free time at night to do whatever I want!  I want to share with you one of the best nail polish brands I've ever used. Along with China Glaze and OPI, one of my new ABSOLUTE favorites is Julep! They have the prettiest colors, and from what I've noticed, a lot of their polish formulas are amazing. They are super easy to apply, and the brushes aren't huge like a lot of other brand polishes, so it's very easy to control the product without getting it all over your fingers! (click photo to enlarge) I have seen some of their polishes in Sephora a few times, but I'm not sure where else they are sold besides their website. I highly recommend this brand to anyone who loves ...
