Rainy Sunday...

It has been yucky and rainy here today. Somehow I actually managed to be productive today though.
Friday night we had a nice quiet night in. We made dinner and had a movie marathon. By the way have any of you seen Remember Me with Robert Pattinson? Omg such a good movie! Sad, but good. Saturday we went to Little Rock so I could pick up a jumper that I had altered and so I could make that much needed trip to Sephora. (Mascara and a boat load of Bliss products!) To make the trip a little less girly, we stopped in at Buffalo Wild Wings for a beer and to watch Germany play for third place. (Oh world cup I will miss you!) Saturday night was another quiet night in with some movies. I know, we're boring. We can't help it. Today I got up early and did some grocery shopping and cleaned the apartment. We learned that Gabe's grandpa passed away last night so he's been busy all day making preparations to go to Iowa this week. It wasn't unexpected, but how can you ever prepare yourself for losing someone you love? My heart hurts for Gabe's mom and her siblings and for his grandma. I can't go to the funeral in Iowa because my Summer II classes start this week and missing more than one lab results in an automatic drop. We had already had plans to have friends over for lunch and watch the Braves game so we went ahead with that this afternoon. I already did all of my homework for my Sports Nutrition class and now I'm just sitting back with a hot mug of green tea, listening to it rain, and watching The Devil Wears Prada. (one of my all time favorite movies) Days like today make me so thankful for what I have and how blessed I am to have certain people in my life. Anyway, I hope ya'll had a good weekend. Please keep Gabe and his family in ya'lls thoughts and prayers.

A favorite summer beauty product

Happy Thursday! With the temperatures in central Arkansas lingering around 100 for the past month, I'm all about beauty products that feel refreshing. Bliss Spa Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask is my HG. I found it last summer at Sephora when I bought a bliss spa travel set to take to Vegas and this came with it. It is absolutely amazing. I can't live without it. I'm actually out of it right now and I've been obsessing over it until I can get to Sephora in Little Rock to buy another bottle.
Here's what Sephora has to say about it:

"Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask
What it is:
A frothy mask that releases oxygen into the skin, so your complexion is instantly brighter, fresher, and younger-looking.

What it is formulated to do:
Instantly delivers a shot of oxygen, a powerhouse form of vitamin C, time-released antioxidants, and a moisture fix, to spiff up your complexion when it's looking and feeling lackluster.

What else you need to know:
Inspired by Bliss Spa's most-famous facial, which gives skin the energy it needs for everyday metabolism, collagen synthesis, and detoxifying action."

I use it once a week or anytime I wake up looking like a zombie and my skin needs a boost. I also love it in the winter when my skin is looking dull and I want a product that won't dry it out even more. I keep a travel size handy because it's the best way to revive your skin after a flight. So, you need this. Actually I need this because I'm literally having withdrawls from it. Bliss also has an oxygen moisturizer from this line that I'm interested in trying.
So have any of ya'll ever tried this product? What were your thoughts on it? Also, what is a product you can't live without?

I hope everyone is having a good week! We're almost to the weekend! Oh and send positive thoughts my way because I have my physics final tomorrow. Yikes!

Finally!

I have been waiting for modcloth.com to get this dress in stock in my size for over a month now. Today I finally got the email that they had it so I ordered it asap! I have a day wedding to go to in two weeks and I thought it would be perfect!

Now hopefully it fits... :)

Weekend re-cap

What a weekend! I need another weekend just to recover! Friday we were actually pretty low key. Gabe made some yummy spaghetti with his homemade red sauce and we watched movies and drank wine. It was a night we definitely needed. Saturday, Gabe and I went to my dad and step moms house to lay by the pool and grill out. It was an amazing and relaxing day. They live on a lake so we watched fireworks there that night. Sunday, we hit the lake bright and early with our friends Chad, Charlie, and Meghan & Greg. We had an absolute blast and for once I actually got some pictures!

It was almost impossible to get one good picture of us all...

We all got a little to much sun that day. Poor Gabe still looks like a lobster.

Monday, we both had the day off so he played golf with his dad that morning then we went to lunch with his dad and youngest sister. After lunch Gabe and I went to West Little Rock to do some shopping and to see Eclipse! I loved it! My favorite movie out of the series so far. (It was also my favorite book). Gabe enjoyed it too even though he will never admit it out loud. :) I'm pretty lucky to have a guy who will sit through chick flicks with me because he knows how happy it makes me. Today it was back to the real world and it was so hard to get up this morning!

*Random* Some recent favorite outfits of mine:

Before a dinner out in Little Rock back in June. The dress is super short but I LOVE it! It's RACHEL by Rachel Roy. So comfortable! The yellow is brighter in person.

This dress is the perfect summer time day dress from Victoria Secret. It's only $29. I have it in pink, white, and black. It's great for those hot afternoons.

I hope ya'll are having a good week! :)

Happy Fourth of July Weekend!

I can't wait to see some of these:
I hope ya'll have a fun weekend planned! I'll be spending today beside my parents pool and grilling out. Tomorrow I'll be on Greers Ferry Lake on Gabe's family's boat having some fun in the sun with friends. Have a great weekend!!
