As mentioned in a previous post, I subscribe to Ipsy every month. I enjoy getting some happy mail and the chance to try out new beauty products.
Stocking My Paleo Pantry
When I switched to a modified paleo diet about a year ago, I wasn’t sure where to start. I read everything I could find on the internet and basically came up with recipes I wanted to try. I tried to plan out my menu a week in advance to go grocery shopping and make sure I had everything I needed.

Sometimes they’re full-size but mostly they are deluxe sample sizes. Occasionally you get a beauty tool or brush in the bag (like I did this month). Continue reading “Ipsy Bag August 2016”
