Etsy Shop of the Month: Stalinski Super Store

Window Cleaner Enamel Pin

There's cute, and then there's cuuuuuuute. The bits and baubles from artist Eva Stalinski's Stalinski Super Store are definitely the latter. From smiling tote bags to sporty socks, everything in Stalinski's world is fun, original, and most importantly, adorable.

The aesthetic of her shop is whimsical with a major focus on food motifs, and I happen to be a sucker for food with a smiley face. Her use of bright colors and bold outlines gives her prints a sort of "grown up child" vibe (always a win with me) and her quality of work is impeccable. Check out those ice cream sculptures - they're so damn lifelike!

2018 Ulta Birthday Gift

If you're paying attention, you might've noticed that I love a birthday freebie. Okay, I love pretty much any freebie, but all the better if that freebie is a useful beauty product. Much like Sephora, Ulta Beauty offers an annual birthday gift for rewards members (free to join and worth it if you shop there with any frequency). The 2018 Ulta birthday gift is a lip kit including the following:

• Ulta Beauty Juice Infused Lip Oil in Cranberry + Pomegranate {.15 fl. oz.}

• Ulta Beauty Lip Mask in Cranberry + Pomegranate

2018 Sephora Birthday Gift (psst...it's free!)

A major perk of having my birthday in January is being among the first to receive the free annual Sephora Birthday Gift. It almost makes up for the fact that I can count the number of birthday parties I've cancelled due to snow on more than one hand. Almost. Inclement weather aside, my January was certainly brightened by this gorgeous gift. As usual, Sephora is offering two options for your birthday gift selection:
