Ever since I started working from home, I started to notice all of the things that I wanted to change even more. When you spend all of your time at your house, you want it to look beautiful, but also be completely functional for you and your family. This past week, I shared on Instagram a few products from Amazon that helped me transform my kitchen and up my organization game. Let's get started!
One // Spice Jars & Labels
Originally, I had all of our spices in a turntable in the cabinet, and it ended up being the worst organization idea I've ever had. haha! We couldn't get to all of our spices, and most of the time, they'd end up falling or being stacked on top of each other.
This set of 24 glass jars with bamboo lids gave my spices the upgrade they needed. Even though I didn't get to finish all of my spices during naptime, I love how organized and beautiful this drawer looks. This set also has three different labels included, so you can pick the one that matches your home's style. I chose the square style as it matches the labels I have in our pantry.
The only disclaimer with these jars that I will give is to double-check the labels lists and make sure you'll have everything you need. I totally didn't think about the random spice mixes we have, and of course, there's no label for them that makes sense, so they'll end up staying in their original containers--otherwise, they're perfection.
Two // Baggie & Foil/Wrap Drawer
I am in love with these baggie organizers. If you saw my reel on Instagram, you saw how messy and unorganized it was. These baggie organizers are individual, which I personally would recommend so you can put them any way you need to fit best in your drawer.
Originally, I intended to have my wax paper, aluminum foil, and plastic wrap in an organizer as well, but once I got everything together, it ended up not fitting in my drawer and took up way more space than it needed. Since it didn't fit, I opted to put my foils/wraps behind the baggie organizers, which fit three perfectly, so I was excited. I then put the parchment paper to the side along with my chip clips, matches, and bamboo sticks, and I put my toothpicks for baking in a container instead of the baggie they were originally in.
Three // Utensil Drawer Organizer
This drawer organizer created a kitchen utensil heaven. It's so much easier to find things I need, because we all know, in every home, utensils end up getting shoved in a drawer, and then a spoon sticks up and jams the drawer. Don't do that anymore--seriously, grab this organizer.
It expands to fit the width of your drawer, and if your drawer is longer like mine, you can use the back of the drawer for additional storage. One thing I love about it is that you can choose to push the center of the organizer to a specific side to give one side a little more space. I slid mine to the left to allow more space on the right so that my wider utensils would fit.
One last awesome design function about this organizer--the front center slid to where there's a small gap where the drawer pull's screws fit right in that gap so the drawer organizer is flush against the drawer front. Most others would wabble--definitely a huge plus for me.
Four // 3 Tier K-Cup Carousel
This brand has three different sizes--3 tier, 5 tier, and 6 tier. The 3 tier carousel that I have hold 21 K-Cups. I love being able to go right into the same cabinet that has my coffee mugs and grab a mug, K-Cup, and start my coffee. It was also easy to assemble. So now, instead of having them thrown messily in where my spices are now, they have a functional and organized spot.
Five // Grocery Bag Holder
If you don't have a bag full of bags, are you even a mom? haha! I decided that it was time to order a grocery bag holder instead of keeping my Target bags inside of a ripping Target bag. It's even the small upgrades that help make a house a home.
I chose the Gray color option, but also love the Black if you have a similar style home!
Six // Bamboo Pasta Jars & Pantry Labels
When I gave our pantry a DIY makeover last year, I grabbed these jars to put our pasta in and also grabbed the labels. These labels have held up this past year, and I still love them as much as I did when I got them. These are the ones that are similar to the spice jar labels if you're looking to match throughout your kitchen.

Happy organizing!
Only have 10 minutes or less to do your makeup?! I've got the perfect routine for you. It's actually my everyday makeup look, and it's natural-looking meets everyday glam without it being too much. I've also used all of these products for years, and they're some of my all-time favorites.
Skincare //
Pixi Glow Tonic
I have used this for over five years every single day in the morning, and it has helped my skin so much. It helps to gently exfoliate, my skin is clearer, and it helps to brighten my skin's appearance.
Olay Whip Moisturizer
I have love, loved Olay Moisturizers for years, too! In fact, I partnered with Olay several times to share the launch of Whip when it first came out. This one has shea butter and is the perfect moisturizer as we head into the cooler months.
Face //
bareMinerals Complexion Rescue
Another oldie, but a goodie--Complexion Rescue is my everyday foundation. It has 30 SPF and hydrates your skin throughout the day. It's also perfect to mix with a fuller coverage foundation like I do.
It Cosmetics CC+ Cream
On the days that I want a little more coverage, I add the tiniest drops of CC+ Cream along with Complexion Rescue. It's the perfect amount of coverage to help conceal my rosacea and dark circles, and it never feels heavy on my skin.
bareMinerals BarePro Foundation
Lately, I've been needing a little extra coverage, and that's when the BarePro foundation comes in. Instead of using my normal setting powder, I've been using this foundation to help give a little more coverage and to help set my makeup.
Too Faced Bronzer
I first got this bronzer as a sample while shopping at Ulta, and I love it! It's a matte bronzer, and it can be a natural bronze or can definitely be built up to be a sharper contour and bronze. It's all in the way you apply it! I tend to give a sharper contour and then blend it out to contour and bronze.
In this particular tutorial, I used this as my crease color with my eye look, and love it!
Laura Geller Blush
I hit pan on this blush after years of using it, and I'm definitely going to repurchase another once it's out. It's a mix of blush and brightener, so it gives you a gorgeous cheek color with just a tiny hint of glow.
Eyes //
Urban Decay Eye Shadow Palette
I shared this palette with my last tutorial, and I've still been loving it! There are so many gorgeous color combos, and the shimmers are stunning.
Urban Decay Eyeliner
Hey, shocker--another product I've been using for years. It's SO good. It's waterproof, and it never smudges on me.
Tarte Mascara
This is a newer find for me--While I do love, it, I'm going to use it up and see what else is out there for me. I've been testing out so many different mascaras to see if there's one that won't end up on my lid or under my eyes at the end of the day. Any recommendations?!
Nyx Brow Pencil
I love the micro-brow pencil. In the video, I showed using the pencil, but only because the micro has been sold out at my local Target and I haven't gotten a chance to swing over to Ulta. I prefer the micro, but either brow pencil from Nyx is amazing, budget-friendly, and compares or is better than the higher-end ones I've tried in the past.
Brow Gel
My $3 brow gel--yep. There is absolutely no reason to spend more. They all do the same thing, and this one has been a go-to since before college for me. I use one end for my brows, and then the other end for hair touchups. It's perfect for flyaways!
Nyx Lip Liner
$4 lip liner? Yes, please! I'm on a roll with the budget-friendly makeup right now. I have used this for years as well, and I'm pretty sure I've shared it in pretty much every makeup tutorial I've ever posted. It truly is my go-to, and I'm always amazed at the pigment and quality--no matter what color I go with.
Pixi Beauty Liquid Lipstick
Another goodie for me--years, friends, years I've been using these. They stay on all day and once they dry, they don't really get all over, which is huge. I've tried pretty much every color, and I love them. In this tutorial, I'm wearing the shade Berry Beauty, and it's so, so pretty for an easy pop of color. I feel like I haven't worn a lot of lipstick lately, and as soon as I put this on today, I shocked myself in a good way!

Hope you enjoy today's tutorial.
I hope you're having a wonderful week so far! It's feeling like fall, and the fall styles are pure perfection this year. I have been love, loving so many new pieces this season, and I wanted to share them with you!
I've found a few budget-friendly items and an amazing sale to help bring these fall staples to the perfect price point. The outfit above shows my new favorite plaid top & sweater combo ever made. I saw it within seconds of walking into J.Crew Factory, and obviously it just had to come home with me. I wore this outfit to church on Sunday and it's going to be a fall staple, for sure.
My little man is the cutest in the whole world, so he decided to get into the photos, which of course, this Mama loves. He's got the sweetest, goofiest personality, and he's currently pointing at my laptop pointing at himself going "what's that?!"--so cute!
His outfit is all budget-friendly items--in fact, I think the only thing that he's wearing over around $12 are his shoes, which even those--on sale! I've gotten to the point where anytime I buy Bentley clothes, it has to be on sale. He goes through them so fast, but last year, I did decide to buy things a little big on him, and thankfully, this year, all of his fall/winter clothes still fit! Now that's a mom-win.
This second outfit that I'm wearing is all on sale or super budget-friendly. My vest & flannel are from J.Crew Factory like the first sweater and right now, there is an amazing sale--up to 50% off everything + an extra 20% off for Passport Members. Make sure you take advantage of the sale and snag everything you love for fall--it's better than their labor day sale!!
Lastly, I have to touch on my leggings. They are a new find from...drumroll, please... Walmart!! YES!! They are the softest leggings I have ever worn, they stay up, are high-waisted, and you can't see your booty through them. OH! Ready for the best part?! They are $7.98 a pair!! Online, they have packs of two, but if you go in-store, check for a single pair. I linked the exact ones down below, just look for High-Waisted Sueded Crossover Ankle Leggings. That's the title on the tag. Seriously--the. best. The next time I'm at Walmart, I'm picking myself up another pair. My only suggestion with these--size up! I'm normally an XS, and I'm glad I grabbed a Small--they are definitely on the smaller side.

What fall styles are on your wishlist this season?
It's officially my favorite season, and no one can tell me it's not fall anymore!!! 🍂 Fall for me pretty much starts the second temperatures drop once, but we all know that the temps go back up again and we all suffer in our sweaters. #Willsufferforfall BUT, I'm sure you've heard the quote that's something like, "Dress like the fall you wish you had, not the one you have." haha! I'm totally the girl that sees that it's in the sixties and wearing a chunky knit sweater and then regrets it two hours later. It's fine...it's totally fine. Once fall weather is really here, we will all be ready!
I wanted to share some of my favorite fall fashion finds from my happy place: Target--especially before they sell out! A few of these pieces I just purchased, and the rest are on my wish list.

Are any of these pieces on your wishlist?!
Our kitchen shelves are very special to me. When we first moved in, I
had the idea of having wooden shelves filled with special items and beautiful
pieces. Over the years, those items have changed, and some of our more
breakable sentimental items have moved into our living room built-ins, so I
wanted to share an updated version of our kitchen shelves as well as share
three tips for styling kitchen shelves!
If you haven't seen my
DIY Kitchen Makeover + Tile Wall
tutorial, be sure to check it out!
One // Pick a few sentimental and personal items
I chose to feature our family picture from our wedding and a glass bottle of
Coke from our wedding. The frame also helps to add height to the top shelf.
Two // Add a natural element (or two!)
I have
been loving natural woods and greenery lately. The shelves are light wood, so
I added a darker wood cutting board for color variation. I also have a small
vase and faux stems to add a touch of greenery.
Three // Keep it beautiful and functional
You can store beautiful bowls or ramekins, and a jar filled with everyday
essentials.
