Similar to a lot of you out there, I truly enjoy traveling. I love daydreaming about destinations far and wide, adding yet another city to an ever-growing mental bucket list.

lip stain
A little color on the lips is a simple way to pull an outfit together. Lately, I have been all about the stained lip instead of the perfectly lined and shaped matte lipstick.
