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...

Winter Haircare Empties Review

*I do earn a small commission when you shop through the links in this post. That does not affect my opinion on these products, thank you for your support!* You know how we all have a thing , that's probably been our thing since we were little? Well, that thing has always been my hair. Probably hard for you to believe since I tend to focus on makeup, and don't even get me started on losing a good chunk of my hair after having Vela that never seemed to grow back the same. I was born with a full head of dark hair, no scalp in sight much like Vela. I've taken pride in my locks and do my best to keep it looking it's best. To say I'm picky when it comes to hair care products would be correct. Because my hair has changed soo much over the past few years, I've branched out into trying different products and brands in hopes to up my hair game. These empties are a mix of holy grails, new favorites, and thanks, but no thanks(s)! For reference, I have lots of hai...

Cut Crease for Hooded Eyes

I'll admit, I found eyeshadow to be intimidating ever since I've started playing around with makeup. It wasn't until Jaclyn Hill announced her eyeshadow palette collab with Morphe last spring, did I get excited about eyeshadow again. I bought the palette, along with her Morphe favorites brush set and I was determined to learn how to do good eye looks. I watch countless tutorials, read articles and even practiced with friends. I did get more comfortable with my blending ability, but my eye makeup never looked like the makeup gurus I see all over social media. It wasn't until I starting taking eye look photos of my own, did I realize the problem. I have hooded eyes, with tons of landscape above my brow bone. Whenever I wore eyeshadow, it'd look nice, but you could barely see it with my eyes open. Whenever I felt adventurous and added color above my brow bone, I looked like Mimi from the Drew Carey Show. My eyeshadow was either very subtle or very bold, w...
