It’s honestly kind of hard to remember what life was even like before Instagram. Maybe I should be embarrassed to admit that, but I just have too much fun on the platform to be truly shy about stating my love for it. Sure, it has its moments and I definitely spend too much time scrolling my feed every day, but I get so much joy out of keeping up with the people who inspire me, so I don’t anticipate giving up on Instagram any time soon.

Of course, in addition to appreciating everybody else’s posts, I also love sharing photos of my own. To get my favorites out in the open in our home, I worked up a quick craft tutorial for DIY Faux Stained Wood Instagram Frames. You can hop over right now to Oriental Trading’s Fun365 for the full step-by-step tutorial.

Are you just as obsessed as I am with Instagram, or are you resisting the movement? Whatever the answer, I hope you’re finding a way to document those happy little lovely moments in life with whatever kind of camera you reach for most. As for me, the three photos you see printed and documented here in this post make me smile each and every time I see them—a portrait of my parent’s dog, a lakeside view from last summer, and a winter walk in Williamsburg with my dad and sister. Tell me about the picture you would print and display in the comments below!

12 Best Lipsticks For Valentine’s Day

12 Best Lipsticks For Valentine's Day

Okay, I’m taking an unofficial poll: do you love Valentine’s Day, or is it a holiday that you actually have little love for? My sister is head over heels for the occasion, but (as I mentioned earlier this week) I don’t get all that enthused about February 14. I love seeing all of the fun crafts and parties that other people plan, but I think I’m more the type of person to appreciate from afar rather than someone who participates with gusto.

That doesn’t mean I don’t love to celebrate the loves in my life, though! John and I will, of course, enjoy a nicer-than-normal date night out on the town on Valentine’s Day this year, and may even go to the movie theater—crazy! Anyway, since I know the occasion is drawing nearer and nearer, and that many of you will be partaking in an extra fancy outing in honor of the holiday (whether with your Valentine or a group of beloved Galentines), I put together a roundup of my favorite lipsticks that you can feel confident about trying yourself.

  1. Elizabeth Arden, Ceramide Ultra Lipstick in ‘Sugar’
  2. Buxom, Full-On Lip Stick in ‘Brooklyn’
  3. stila, Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in ‘Beso’
  4. Clinique, Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm in ‘Richer Raisin’
  5. Little MAC Lipstick in ‘D for Danger M’
  6. Smashbox, Be Legendary Liquid Metal Liquid Lip in ‘Mauve Squad’
  7. Clinique, Pop Matte Lip Colour + Primer in ‘Graffiti Pop’
  8. NARS Satin Lipstick in ‘Niagara’
  9. Buxom, Full-On Lip Stick in ‘San Francisco’
  10. FENTY BEAUTY BY RIHANNA, Mattemoiselle Plush Matte Lipstick in ‘S1ngle’
  11. Oui Fresh, Blossom Lipstick
  12. Sonia Kashuk Velvety Matte Lip Crayon in ‘Poppy Nude’

I might not be so sure about Valentine’s Day, but I’m a firm believer that lipstick can make an average outfit feel extra fancy. I’ve either heard from reliable sources or know for a fact myself that these 12 lipsticks are the bees knees—especially the Buxom brand lipsticks I linked to above. Which lipsticks or glosses are you loving right now? Do tell in the comments below.
