Hello fellow makeup and beauty lovers. Welcome to my blog where I discuss monthly makeup/beauty favorites, recent beauty discoveries, product reviews, FOTD posts, food, life with a toddle(being a first time mom), and wifely hopes and dreams for the future. My name is Linda and I currently reside in sunny LA (primarily in the San Gabriel Valley). On top of my love for my amazing husband and spunky toddler daughter, makeup has always been a closet passion of mine. Since the age of 12, makeup was always a constant presence in my life due to growing up around a lot of females (mom and lots of aunts) but it wasn't until I discovered the beauty world of Youtube did I realize my true love and excitement for makeup.
