Beautycounter Spotlight – Caitlin Van Dusen
Hi everyone!
Today I thought I’d do something a little different. As I am sure I am not the only one to have heard something about Beautycounter, I thought I’d let my friend & fellow sorority sister, Caitlin, share a little bit about why she decided to be a consultant for Beautycounter. We were able to catch up for lunch (yay Mexican!) when I was in Dallas this past weekend.

Summertime Frugal Fun in D.C.
Hello friends!
Ah summertime…who can believe that it is already June?! Crazy – pretty soon we’ll be busting out our Christmas trees and holiday decorations… but lets not get ahead of ourselves!
Today I thought I would share some ideas on how to still have an amazing summer in D.C. without going broke since summertime is such a busy time for everyone – parties and BBQs to go to, trips to take, countless fashion trends to buy, baseball games to go to, concerts, dinners, weddings, the list goes on and on. There are a lot of great places to see without spending a ton of money!

Violet’s Corner: Dog Days in the DC Area
Hi folks!
As you can probably glean from the title of this post, my latest and greatest guest blogger is Ms. V herself (our adorable pit bull).
