Natural Beauty Picks
I have mentioned it a few times here on the blog, but I have gradually been replacing my beauty products with safer, more natural options. Today I decided it would be fun to gather up some of my favorite products I have been using, as well as a few I am planning on purchasing. All of the Honest Beauty products below are ones that I have purchased and loved! I have found that Beauty Counter is wonderful for eye shadow and blush ( I prefer powder blush, which Honest does not offer). The last few product are either on my wish list, or something I have just purchased! Both the body lotion and deodorant were recommended by Elsie of A Beautiful Mess. Their natural product round-ups have been keeping me inspired to branch out from some of the larger brands. I also would love to test out Beauty Counter's tinted moisturizer, I do like the one from Honest I have been using but am also open to other options. I am always curious what others love too, so if you have any recommendations please let me know!

February Around The Web
Hello, friends! February has just flown by. Between a busy season at work, Valentine's Day, my birthday, and time spent in Kansas City this month was full of time spent with family and friends. This month was also full of quite a lot of online inspiration. My absolute favorite was We Are Scout's interview with Liz Payne about her Liz Payne x Gorman collaboration. The patterns and details in her collection are stunning. Maybe they ship to the US?? Here are a few other links that caught my attention:
One of my favorite birthday gifts I received! Anthropologie always has the best frames.
Eager to test out this DIY Knot Pillow
I spent a day in Seville when I traveled to Spain in college, but Geneva's guide has it back on my travel wish list. (It is one of KC's sister cities!)
Although I rarely mention it here on the blog , I commute each week between St. Louis and Kansas City, and over the past few years have grown very accustomed to filling my drives with podcasts. Can't wait to test out some of these!
You can never have too many notebook DIYs
I will be participating in a paper flower workshop at work in a couple of weeks, and Rie Elise Larsen's work has me very inspired.
One of my college classmate's illustrated this beautiful print!
I am almost positive these are completely sold out, but I'm crossing my fingers they do a restock soon!
My lovely friend Lisa's baby nursery is on Think.Make.Share. this month!
Until next month, enjoy!

Patagonia Packing List
Hello, friends! In just a few short weeks I will be jetting off to South America with my family. We have never taken a post-Christmas trip before — let alone to Chile! Here a few items I will be backing for the Patagonia portion of our stay. I'm not quite prepared for what the weather and circumstances will be like, but I can't wait! Be on the lookout for lots of travel photos come January. I've already been wearing my new Patagonia around town and it is much warmer than it appears! I also have been trying to break in the Kodiak boots. Their quality is beautiful in person, I'm happy that they will serve me well outside of my travels, too. Are any of you headed on post holiday travels?
