EauMG’s July 2017 Favorites

Flavin Dia

Where did July go? I felt it went by really quickly.

Overall, it was a really chill month. It’s summer so a lot of people are vacationing. Throughout the month I was able to entertain folks from out of town. It was nice to catch up with old friends; we’re all spread out all over the place.

Update: August 2017

vintage Budapest spa

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer! I can’t believe it’s already August.

This week I’m on vacation to Budapest (and maybe Vienna, I don’t know yet). I will have posts scheduled, so please keep stopping by! However, there will be a delay approving comments. I’ll approve and respond as soon as I can. If you don’t see your comment after posting, that’s why. I haven’t approved them yet.

When I get back I’ll be visiting my in-laws in the Midwest (since I haven’t seen them in… Continue reading | 8 Comments

Question of the Week: You’re leaving on a spontaneous weekend getaway and you have 15 minutes to pack. Name the first three beauty products you toss into your bag.

EauMG’s Answer: Ahhhh!!! Too much pressure! Does this also include skincare? Or are we just talking about makeup? My skincare routine can’t be simplified to 3 items. I guess I’ll make up a rule that it’s only makeup. I’ll go without underwear before I go without sunscreen. Anyway, I

EauMG’s March 2017 Favorites

pink building Charleston

I don’t want to be one of those boring people that complain about the weather, but I’m going to be one of those boring people. The weather in March was so frustrating. We had an icestorm. The disgusting, tar-soaked ice piles lingered for weeks. It was cold and disgusting. All I wanted was spring and it couldn’t be found.

This was OK, because I needed to focus on finals. I wrapped up another term. Like weather, I know people get sick of hearing this too: Time flies… Continue reading | 4 Comments
