Hey, hey, hey!

So this morning, I was in a major rush. Post Christmas break has not been good for my sleep schedule. So as I was rushing out the door, I grabbed my makeup essentials and threw them in my makeup bag and ran out the door. As I was applying my makeup in my classroom (#teacherlife) I realized that I loved how minimalistic this look was. There is something so nice about having just a few easy steps that give a natural and glowing look. Since I loved this look and idea so much, I decided to share it with all of you!
