 Press  Sample Blogger Ambassador

I have exciting news!!! I am featured in this month's All You Magazine (Dec 2013 issue) and All You's Website!!! As you can tell, I am totally thrilled! :) 

I have previously collaborated with All You Magazine for blog reviews and giveaways. So, when they reached out wanting to know some of my budget-friendly beauty tips a few weeks ago, I was happy to share some! Myself along with many other top beauty bloggers are featured in All You's "Secrets to Affordable Beauty" article on page 33 of the December 13th, 2013 issue (and my tip is on pg. 36). It is a pleasure to be listed alongside some of my blogger friends and my favorite YouTube vloggers like Teri from Beautiful Makeup Search, Christine from Temptalia, and Allison from Makeup By Alli. Now, if you blink, you might just miss my pinkie-nail sized photo, lol. But, it still feels awesome to be included in a national magazine that I love to read!!! What a thrill! :) 

Next time you are at the store, pick up a copy and find me! :) In the meantime, check out this link to read the article online: All You Magazine.

ALL YOU is sold on newsstands at Walmart stores, by subscription, and is now also available in other select chains, including Publix, Target, CVS, and Kroger.
