With only 5 ingredients and 30 minutes of cook time, this homemade marinara recipe really couldn't be easier!

To me, nothing tastes as delicious as homemade marinara. Trust me, I won’t ever turn down a jar of Ragu, but sometimes it doesn’t hit the spot like fresh spaghetti sauce. However, I always thought marinara was complicated to assemble and had to spend an entire day simmering on the stove to turn out delicious. How wrong I was! My sweet friend Anne shared this delicious recipe with me, and I’ve…

Best BeautyBlender Makeup Sponge Dupe! Sonia Kashuk Makeup Blender

Lately, I’ve been on the hunt to find a replacement for my BeautyBlender. While I love that makeup sponge, it’s hard for me to spend $20 every time I need to replace it (which means I usually end up using it for MUCH longer than you’re supposed to… 🙈). Thankfully, I stumbled upon these Sonia Kashuk Makeup Blender sponges, and they’re only $7! I loved the idea of saving 65%, but only if the…

Best Drugstore BeautyBlender Replacement? Flower Beauty 3-in-1 Blending Sponge Review

Based on that, I was so excited to try out a “drugstore” 3-in-1 blending sponge from Flower Beauty. 

For the record, I typically use the Original BeautyBlender, and I love it!…
