Why, Hello There!




I'm Roxy, I'm in my late 20's (who am I kidding, I'm 29, but I'm milking it for all it's worth). I live in Saint Paul, Minnesota, with my boyfriend Matt, our daughter Vela, and our forever puppy Nugget.
I've been in the hospitality industry for 12 years. If you ever need help apologizing to animate objects after you bump into them, that's a specialty of mine. I currently work for Delaware North - Sportservice at Target Field; this will be my 9th season. I've made some amazing relationships during my time with The Minnesota Twins, and I absolutely consider it my second home. Go Twins!

When I was a little girl, I would start out every diary entry with, "Hello guys!" as if I were telling a story to an audience, even though 12 year old me would have been mortified if anyone read my diary! That's what makes blogging a scary, yet exciting moment for me. I've wanted to start a lifestyle blog for years, but I've always been afraid to fail. My motto for 2018 is, "How can you be afraid of failure if you never give yourself the opportunity to TRY." - and from that, Roxy Tries was born. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for taking the time to check out a little piece of me.

Sephora Holy Grail Beauty Products

*I'm able to earn a small commission when you shop through my links. This in no way affects the way I feel about these products. Thank you for your support!* It's that wonderful time of year my friends where Sephora is having their semi-annual sales event! This sale is a big deal, because Sephora doesn't have sales very often, and they usually only last a short period of time. If you know me, you know I'm a bit of a Sephora snob and have counted on many of their brands over the past 10 years. I know from experience it can be overwhelming when shopping at Sephora with how many brands and products they offer from all different price points. I've rounded up my all-time favorite, ride-or-die, Sephora beauty products that I've counted on for years. If you're curious about how the sale works, check out the image down below. It's completely free to become a Beauty Insider and take advantage of this sale. I'll leave the link right here for you if you w

DR. JART+ Shake & Shot Rubber Masks

Welcome to my very first literal Roxy Tries post! One of my goals for this blog is to review skincare and makeup. I love trying new beauty products and why not give you the tea  as they say, on the new products I try! The first thing I'm trying out is the Shake & Shot Rubber Masks by DR. JART+. I ordered these the day they came out from Sephora. I love how fun they look and I've never tried a rubber mask before. These Korean rubber masks are typically mixed in a spa, but now you can do them at home. What originally drew me into these masks is the cute packaging. I know, it's not about the packaging but these are seriously adorable! I have heard how good their rubber sheet masks are, and these are the second generation of that original mask. They are one-time use for $12 which I think is a fair price for a high-end face mask. They offer four different masks each targeting different needs. I thought I'd get all four to see if there's a real difference between

Shop These 15 Small Businesses This Black Friday Weekend

Can I keep it real with you? Okay good. Last year was my first time taking advantage of Small Business Saturday. It's easy to get caught up in big company's ads for cheap TV's and all that, but what you're missing out on is the amazing deals smaller businesses are running. Since starting my influencer journey, I've been introduced to quite a few small businesses that are absolutely killing it. I've gotten to know the owners behind the brand and I've tried their products out for myself. The personal touch each of these 15 businesses I'm going to share with you puts behind their brands is 100% unique to them. If you take advantage of these wonderful deals by picking something up for yourself, as gifts, or both, I know you'll receive items made with pride, packaged with care, and you'll receive with excitement. I wanted to create an easy way for you to shop some of my favorite small businesses this holiday season while also providing you wit
