WELCOME
This blog has been around in one form or another since 2010. It’s an amalgamation of who I was, who I am, and who I’m hoping to be. Sometimes it’s about beauty products. Other times (most of the time) it’s about planning. Occasionally there’s business stuff and even rarer board game content.
So thanks for stopping by, reading somthing long-form in a world of fast information, and hanging out with me on my slice of the internet.
Sincerely,
Kayla

Everyday Girlboss Makeup
With fall beauty launches starting to drop, I've shook up my everyday makeup routine for a super dewy, radiant, no-makeup look. No Kayla makeup routine starts without first using the Stila One Step Correct. I've used my fair share of primers trying to find one...
Life Lately
Life lately has been filled with a lot of dogs. We've been watching my parents' two dogs during the work week for about five months now and it really has been enjoyable having pups around. It's made us rethink getting one for ourselves though since it feels like quite...
