Autumn beauty updates

October 12, 2017 Tieka Ellis

Hi friends! I'm popping in with a beauty post in collaboration with Meijer. With the change of the seasons, I always have to do a little tweaking to my beauty routine, especially with our drastic temperature changes in Michigan. My skincare routine is pretty simple, but my skin drastically dries out this time of year, so I'm always looking for good healing products to help battle that over the next several months. I also love to incorporate a few darker colors in makeup into my routine. I'm sharing a few of my favorite products I've been using lately below, so read on!

Happy Monday! Onto a new week. I hope you guys had a great weekend! Ours was sort of unexpected. Eric was supposed to play shows all weekend, but there was a scheduling conflict, so I got him home to myself! We tried to do some autumn things, but honestly, it just didn't feel right. It's been SO warm. When we usually head to the apple orchard, we're cozied up in sweaters and sipping hot apple cider. Hot apple cider when it's 80 degrees just... no. I did end up getting my first pumpkin spice latte of the year (iced, of course), we did a little shopping (got a couple of new fall jackets for our trip to Tahquamenon Falls!) and accomplished a few things around the apartment. All in all, good weekend, I'm just ready for those fall temperatures! Give me sixties!

Autumn corn fields

Hi friends! Long time, no see. I apologize for the unintentional blog break! I feel like the last month has just flown by. We're already into October, and I'm still not sure what happened to September! To be honest though, not much is new since I saw you last. Work has been busy, we had the craziest temperatures in the 90s for a couple of weeks (I couldn't deal!), I attended a couple of local events for the blog (a fun clothing swap and a Meet Cute styling event), had a Wine Club, and went to a music festival Eric played at. We haven't really dived into autumn yet, since the weather was seriously so weird, but we're getting there now! So far, I checked off "pick up pumpkins" and "decorate fall porch for autumn" off my October bucket list. The best month of the year is here! I'm so thrilled, but I can already tell it's going to fly by.

Golden light

Happy(ish) Monday! Not sure how happy Mondays can be, but here we are! I'm finally getting around to sharing some photos we took last weekend, before autumn EXPLODED here in Grand Rapids! It's crazy how everything changed overnight, and it's been in the upper 80s? I don't understand at all! I think this weird mix of weather (40 degree mornings, 85 degree nights) has me feeling not great, so I was completely unproductive this weekend, and ended up binge-watching Gilmore Girls for almost 8 straight hours. Plus, even though I've been working out for over two months, this past week wrecked me! I was so sore I could barely move all weekend. Ah well, things are good, and I was able to rest and rejuvenate today and hopefully get back into the swing of things tomorrow.

Runway off Wealthy 2017

September 15, 2017 Tieka Ellis

Last night I attended the Lee & Birch Runway off Wealthy fashion show! It was such a great event, and the night honestly flew by! I went with three girlfriends, and it was so fun to grab some snacks and drinks, enter for a few raffle prizes, and snap some photos in the photobooth. It was held at Jeffrey Roberts Design, and it was such a beautiful location for this event. We ate snacks from Zoko822 (the potato bravas were so delicious!), and settled in to watch the show. Adrian Butler opened with his line of clothing, and then Lee & Birch was next! I loved so many looks... I'm sharing quite a few of my favorites below, along with some snaps of the event. The amazing photos are all courtesy of Leigh Ann Cobb Photography!

Hi, hello! We're onto Monday, and thankfully it's already almost over. This past weekend was good for us! Friday night, Eric played a show so I stayed in, made a buffalo chicken salad, rented a movie, and binge-watched Gilmore Girls until falling asleep. Saturday, I did a little shopping at Lee & Birch for their fashion show on Thursday. I got a super cute floral dress... can't wait to show you guys! Saturday night, we met up with friends for dinner and to walk around the Eastown Street Fair. Sunday, I met up with a friend to see Home Again (so cute!) and then Eric and I headed to Donkey, for our first visit there this summer, which is SO weird for us! But it was a great weekend! (This outfit was from dinner with friends/street fair!)
