Hey everyone! I am back from a CRAZY work week. But I wanted to kickoff my next post as a follow up to my previous post: a review of a previous dupe.
As I mentioned last week, I am a huge fan of Audrey Madison Stowe (AMS). She has the coolest blog and is the nicest person (she even commented and liked my last post! Fangirling). She is an awesome source for information and style, too, including her recent review of drugstore makeup dupes. I seriously recommend going to her site and reading this post, as she breaks down makeup and skincare products with links to both of the “splurges” and “saves.”
I have actually tried out many of the products she recommended on both sides of the price line and I can attest that she is correct on almost all of her reviews/recommendations, including:
Since I have yet to review makeup on this site, hit the link below and check out her site!

Hey everyone, back again! I have to be honest, this is not my first blog I have ever run. I have been into blogging since I was 16, so I have some experience in following bloggers and finding similar blogs that cover fashion and lifestyle.
Since I have a love of blogging, I thought I would share some of my favorite lifestyle blogs with y’all:
1) Lonestar Southern. The first of my favorite Texan bloggers and a Dallasite. I love Kate’s blog and have been a fan of her blog for years. She is delightful and has wonderful style. What I love most about her blog is that she not only loves fashion but she also gives excellent advice and is so real about her faith.

2) Audrey Madison Stowe. I. LOVE. Her. Blog. She is also such a sweet person, so kind and always responds to me when I engage with her blog. Her blog is full of great style and even better life advice. She is honest about mental health and life struggle, all while doing so fashionably. I love the dupes she has on the blog, too!

3) Pure Joy Home. Liz Joy’s blog is the perfect mix of fashion deals and lifestyle. She is a mama of two (almost three!) sweet kids and she pulls off “stylish-mom” effortlessly. I love her style and the try-on sessions she does on Instagram. She has deals and steals for home, life, kids, fashion, and everything in between!

Most importantly, they all lot for great deals and dupes. Their style is impeccable and they care about helping their followers save some money!
