Ulta, Lush, and Sephora Haul

Happy Monday! I hope your week started off well. Today I'm posting my first haul video. I don't go on shopping hauls often. I tend to pick up one or two things here and there. However, I had family in town recently and one thing my mom and I do better as a team is shop!

Here's the haul video I posted today:



The most exciting thing for me on this haul had to be the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette. I have been eying this sucker for a while now. I have the original Naked Palette but I skipped the Naked 2 Palette. To be honest, I have been so happy with the original Naked Palette and the Lorac Pro Palette that I just wasn't interested in the Naked 2 Palette. But the Naked 3 Palette has beautiful shades of pink.

I picked up the Naked 3 Palette at Ulta but I also shopped at Sephora and Lush. I'm so excited to try the Dior Abricot Crème for Nails and the Let the Good Times Roll Facial Cleanser. I'll keep you posted on what I think of the products. Have a great week!

Mint Chocolate Chip Smoothie Recipe / Low Calorie Shamrock Shake

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I hope you're having a wonderful Monday. Today I posted a festive smoothie recipe on my YouTube Channel. This mint chocolate chip smoothie reminds me of the McDonald's Shamrock Shake but with WAY less calories.

In fact, the mint shake I discuss is only 160 calories. If you add chocolate chips, it's 240 calories. The McDonald's Shamrock Shake of the same size is a massive 880 calories.

Here's the recipe:
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 handful of spinach
1 ripe banana
2-3 packets of sweetener
2-3 drops of mint extract
1 tablespoon of chocolate chips (optional)
10-20 ice cubes
