Now that summer’s coming to a close, let’s kick off the fall season by putting a fresh face forward! As a thank you to everyone for celebrating my birthday month with me, I wanted to offer one more fantabulous giveaway – a $100 Sephora gift card, and the Goldfaden MD Radiant Skin Renewal Starter Kit (a $75 value)!
As I’ve mentioned, I celebrated a BIG birthday this month, and quite honestly, I really struggled with this one the past year. But a friend of mine told me about her “39 Bucket List” and it motivated me to turn it into a positive and tackle those things I wanted to accomplish before the big day. I’m happy to report I was able to check off many, with more exciting bits in the works! A big one was to take better care of myself — I’m not so young anymore, time to face that fact! Hence, this giveaway is a tribute to honoring your inner and outer beauty, and I’ve made it really easy to enter (no follows!)…
TO ENTER:
(Up to 8 entries!) Tell us…
A to-do on your own bucket list
A beauty must-have of yours (a product, routine, whatever!)
A person in your own life that has influenced you in a positive way this past year

I plan on celebrating my next birthday at my upcoming Destination Wedding in the Riviera Maya! I cannot wait and am excited and overwhelmed by the planning ahead :) Happy Birthday to you!

My mom has always influenced me and this past year was no exception.
For my next birthday, hopefully I get to check off one thing from my bucket list – to finally visit Brazil!
My bucket list item outside of visiting Dubai is to sky dive. I’m determined to make that happen within the next year.
A beauty must have of mine is eyeliner. the 69 cent kind from Walgreens in black and liquid liner from a felt tip pen by N.Y.C. or E.L.F. at Target. My eyes are naturally slanted so I’ve been playing the “cat eye” look since high school and before it came back in style. another thing I do is use vaseline or baby oil to remove eye makeup. A little goes a long way and it’s off within a couple swipes.
I’m a VIRGO so my bday is coming up soon and it’s technically the last day of summer so for the past several years I celebrate out of town. Last year I visited friends in Atlanta. This year I was suppose to go see my brother in Texas but waited too long to book a flight and I refuse to take a connecting flight (the only things available) so I will just go to Chicago. My tried and true favorite city. Shop on Michigan Ave. and stay at a fab hotel and try to wing in a spa treatment which is also something I do annually for my bday.
I have a friend that has encouraged me a great deal in many aspects this year. Sometimes it takes an outsider to see potential in you or a situation and she has done so for me.
On my bucket list is to be debt free or gain complete control over my finances and go on a South American culinary vacation/tour.
A beauty must-have of mine is BB cream.
I plan to celebrate my next birthday by going to the spa!

Person who has influenced me? Honestly, I know this might sound cheesy, but I have continually been encouraged and influenced in the best way by the many incredibly talented bloggers and multi-faceted female creators on the interwebs this past year.

One big “to-do” on my list is to take a two to three week road trip across the US, ending at the Pacific Coast, and making tons of stops – both planned and unplanned – along the way. It is something I have always wanted to do, and i think it would be an exciting way to visit a bunch of amazing places, from small towns to big cities, and meet interesting people.
A beauty must have for me is unrefined, cold-pressed, organic coconut oil. I use it as a makeup remover, moisturizer, and hair treatment. I also use it as an ingredient in face masks…. Not to mention it’s uses for cooking! It’s an all around great product.
My birthday isn’t until next July, but I’d like to celebrate it at the beach. I haven’t made it to the beach in a couple years and I can’t think of a better birthday celebration than one that involves salt, sand, sunshine, and delicious seafood.
a to-do on my bucket list is to travel to either Thailand or South Africa in the very very very near future. let’s see if I can cross this one off next year!
one of my beauty must-haves is mascara. I honestly can’t leave home without it! it just brightens the eyes and instantly makes me feel put together
a person in my life who has positively influenced me this past year is a recently new good friend. she has this positive energy and attitude that helps you push through even the most tense or stressful moments and having her to confide in has been a true blessing.
my birthday is in late march and the new divergent movie comes out the same weekend! similar to what I did a couple of years ago with friends when the hunger games movie came out my birthday weekend, I’m planning to see it at a 21 and over luxury theater with a glass of wine followed by dinner at a favorite local mexican restaurant!

My bucket list MUST-DO is to go to India or Bali for a yoga retreat for at least 2 whole weeks! I would loooove to do that, if only I could pull myself away from reality long enough …
Beauty Must-have: DRY SHAMPOO, cannot live without it! I even put it in my clean hair! I have super fine hair and it gets weighed down soooo easy, dry shampoo keeps it from getting greasy and gives great body and lift!
My co-worker Karen has been a huge influence/presence/inspiration in my life – she is such a hard working and genuine, caring, loving – she has given me so many lessons, tips and advice that have truly changes my life in the little over a year I’ve known her. In fact, I should probably give her this gift card as a thank you if I win!
My birthday just passed – August 14th – and I celebrated it without much fanfare, work all day, homemade dinner made by my boyfriend, a dinner the next with girlfriends, and visit to my parents on the weekend. It was perfect – quiet, but quality time with all the people that matter to me. Next year, maybe I’d like to slip away for a weekend getaway with my man to somewhere beachy, breezy and relaxing …
My top bucket list item is to run at least one more marathon!
My parents inspire me. They left their home of more than 30 years to move closer to my daughters and I. They are so brave and selfless!

birthday: nothing at all
On my bucket list: Snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef!
My Clairisonic is my most beloved beauty item! My skin is so much clearer and fresh looking.
My pup Thor has helped me reconnect with what is important in life~ slowing down and playing more :)
Pretty sure my hubby will be gone for my birthday with work~ so I am thinking a massage and pedi, a good bottle of wine and relaxing with my puppies!
Happy Birthday!!
On my bucket list is to go skydiving. I tried zip lining last year and it was way more fun then I expected.
I am a huge fan of exfoliating gloves and an epilator. I started using them last year on my legs and I love how I can get the look of just getting a leg wax at home.
My husband has positively influenced me this year to take more chances and branch out. He’s amazing, Love that guy!
No plans yet for my next birthday…. But I think it will involve Margaritas, good friends and my back deck:)

I swear by Nude Pro-Genius Treatment oil & Algenist Firming & Lifting creme from Sephora!
On my bucket list is to go to Dublin one day with my husband and watch U2 play in their hometown, LOVE THEM and think it would be incredible to see them there!
As far as my beauty routine I am always sure to use eye serums in the morning and a eye cream in the evening. My mom taught me to start doing this when I was 16 and it has been a habit ever since. I am hoping it is working:)
My husband has been and will always be the positive influence in my life that supports me, loves me and encourages and supports every dream I have!
My next birthday is a BIG one, the BIG 40! So I am planning on celebrating with friends and family and then heading on a girls trip to Cabo to top it off:) Hope you had an awesome birthday Erika!
Santiago Salviche pushed me beyond my limitations and guided me towards a healthy mind and living the life of my dreams! I’m ready to turn 30 next year!

Coconut oil has been a life saver here in the dry cold winter months…
A person who has influenced me in a most positive, inspiring way is my manager who has taught me that there is so much more power in being nice!
