Much Ado About Nothing...

So this is a really random post, forgive me :) I recently got a new vanity (yay me!), well new to me. It was my mother in-laws, and she is moving and wasn't going to have room in her new bathroom, so I took it :) I have wanted an actual vanity for years! I have just had everything on my dresser in random containers. I've been looking for one for a while, but I wanted a larger one and they are super expensive! This one is on the small side, but it has a lot of storage, so I guess it's about medium size lol. I really like it. I just wish it was white (it's like a medium brown color. It's oak, if that means anything to you lol.) I'm trying to talk the husband into sanding it down and staining it a really dark color. I said if I couldn't have white, I wanted black. lol. So all this week I have been trying to get it all organized. I didn't realize how much crap my dresser held! Here is a photo of the mess...
The little container things in the middle are what I kept my makeup in before. The rest I kept in a drawer or just strowed on the top. The main problem is that on the other side of the bed, is the pile of stuff that was in the junk drawer, aka that stuff that has no other place to go. Well, now that I don't have a junk drawer anymore, the poor stuff is homeless. So I've been trying to rearrange my whole room and closet to find random holes to stick the stuff. The vanity came with a bench when she bought it eons ago, but it got broken throughout the years, so I am on a chair finding mission! A stool would match better and take up less space, but a chair would be more comfy. All I have found so far is metal furniture :( So I went to random thrift stores trying to find an old one that I can refurnish. No luck so far. I am kind of excited about it though! Once I get it all together, I am planning on doing a "vanity/makeup collection tour", not sure if it will be just photos or if I will be brave enough to video it lol. Well, I've rambled long enough! Once I get this all organized, I will be back to regular posting, I promise! Until next time, <3 Rebecca

P.S. I found a link to the vanity on Amazon... I didn't think they would still make it since she bought it like 15 years ago, but if anyone is curious, this is it.

Target Beauty is My Bag Samples

Hello Lovelies! I finally got my Target sample bag last week, and I am just now getting to post about it (details why in next post :) I haven't tried any of them out yet, but from what I can tell, I like the contents of the last bag better. But I like the actual bag better in this one. So without further ado, here are the photos!

 I couldn't get a proper photo of this. It is more pink than purple...

  • Pond's Evening Soothe Makeup Remover Wipes
  • Garnier Fructis Pure Clean Shampoo & Conditioner
  • John Frieda Full Repair Shampoo & Conditioner
  • TRESemme Naturals Shampoo & Conditioner
  • Loreal Youth Code Day/Night Cream
  • Burt's Bees Radiance SPF 15 Day Lotion
  • Coupon booklet of Target beauty coupons
I've seen in other posts that some people got an Aveeno lotion, but I did not. From what I've seen about half of the people who got them received it. Overall, I really like what I got. I was really excited about the Youth Code moisturizer because I have been wanting to try it for a while. And I really like the bag it came in. Did you get one of these? If so, did you get the lotion, or were you one of the unlucky ones like me? haha. Until next time, <3 Rebecca
