My birthday is exactly one month away {woo hoo, Cancers!} and I naturally can't stop thinking about what I know now that I wish I knew then. That includes everything from love to finances and even personal style.My 20s were full of style envy. I worked at fashion magazines so I was naturally envious of the celebs on the pages of the mag and even the coworkers I encountered every single day. They just looked so great and I just...well, I wasn't really sure.But looking back, there are a few things I know for sure and that I'd tell my younger self.White Coastal cat eye glasses, gray v-neck shirt and printed black pants

When it comes to clothes, I love them. My closet is evidence of that. But when it comes to the world of beauty, I'm kinda intimidated. There are so many products on the market, I get way too overwhelmed and refrain from trying anything new because I don't want to waste my money. Or have you ever bought a cheap beauty product and the quality is just as low as the price?
Well, there are a few beauty items I love that combine affordability and superior quality.
My skin is naturally oily and acne prone, but the one skincare product I use consistently is the Aztec Indian Healing Clay. I was first introduced to it a few years ago by T. Nicole from PintSizedInFluence and I've been hooked ever since.

Kiss Nail Dress versus Sally Hansen Salon EffectsI love a fly design on my nails but I have little to no patience to wait for them to dry. I'm such a busy body that keeping my hands idle is a serious challenge. And if I give myself a mani at night, which I typically do, then I usually wake up in the morning with imprints from my sheets on my nails.
So while at the beauty supply store a few weeks ago, I was anxious to try Kiss Nail Dress stickers. Just like the Sally Hansen Salon Effects, they're stickers that give you a funky design like Minx, but there's no drying time and they last up to 10 days. I tried Salon Effects last year and I really liked them. Kiss was a few bucks cheaper than Sally Hansen so I wanted to see how they compared. I was looking forward to giving myself a $6 manicure that required no drying time.
