Pre-Vacation Shopping

Um long time no blog! I got a little distracted last week by all things wedding. Seriously I'm looking forward to the day when this wedding doesn't take up at least 90% of my thoughts. Don't get me wrong, I'm so excited for the wedding and I absolutely cannot wait to be married. I'm just over the whole planning thing. Let's just do this thing already! :)

Anyway, no worries because in 3 weeks we will be cruising in the Caribbean for our Spring Break! (can I still call it Spring Break since we've both graduated college??) I've been doing a little shopping lately preparing for this trip. Here's a few of my favs I've come across:

Tinley Road Ruffle Knit Maxi

Hudson Jeans Collin Skinny Jeans

Victoria's Secret Print Cotton Caftan

Victoria's Secret Rhinestone Dot Bikini

Lilly Pulitzer Bowen Dress

Lilly Pulitzer Adelson Shift Jacquard

Ruche She's Like the Wind One Shoulder Dress

Anthropologie

These next 3 weeks need to fly by!! Have a good Monday!

Wedding Wednesday- Favorite Wedding Magazines

One thing I love about planning a wedding is having the excuse to flip through wedding mags constantly. A few of my favorites are:

Hope you are all having a good hump day!

My Weekend

I meant to post this yesterday, but I got distracted and forgot!
We had a great weekend and Valentines day. Friday night we went to dinner with some friends then called it an early night.
Saturday, we started the day with breakfast from Starbucks then did a little house hunting. That afternoon we headed to the movie theatre to watch:

Cute movie, not much substance, but still cute. Saturday night we stayed in and caught up on some of our tv shows.
Sunday the weather was absolutely gorgeous!

Yes, that says 70 degrees! And the warmer temps are sticking around for at least another week. We decided to take advantage of the warmer temps and sunshine and go for a hike. We went to a trail at Cadron Creek that we had never tried before. It was weird because there was still snow on the ground, yet it was so warm.

 

Monday, we both had to work of course, but I did get these beauties:

After work, we made our way to Little Rock to eat at SO. The food was amazing and Gabe and I had a wonderful time unwinding over a bottle of wine.
We have an appointment for massages after work today and I can't wait!

Hope you all had a good weekend and V-day!

Happy Valentines Day!

Sending love to all of you!

Show Us Your Life- Beauty Secrets

Happy Friday!! I decided to link up with Kelly's Korner today for Show Us Your Life. I haven't ever done one of these before, but today's topic was right up my alley. I'm always trying new products and reviewing them here on my blog. There are some products, though, that have become staples for me.

First up: Favorite Skin Care Products

I have washed my face with Cetaphil since Junior High. It's so gentle on my skin and gets my makeup off with no problem. I would buy this by the gallon if I could!

Clinque All About Eyes Rich. Best eye cream for 20 somethings. The best way to prevent wrinkles is to keep skin moisturized. This does the trick and it great for those with sensitive eyes like me.

I love Jergens Natural Glow products. I use the face lotion daily to keep me from looking ghostly. I add a few drops of this to my daytime moisturizer. I also use the foam for my body. It works great, doesn't smell terrible, and drys instantly.

Korres Yogurt Mask. This product has been a lifesaver for me this winter. I use it after I exfoliate to help minimize irritation and give my skin a moisture boost.


Favorite Makeup Products:

Diorshow mascara. I have used this for years. I always think I will find something I like better and I always end up coming back to this. It's one of the only mascara's that doesn't irritate my eyes and it make my lashes look amazing.

Lancome Teint Miracle Foundation. This is the lightest feeling foundation. It feels like a tinted moisturizer, yet covers like a dream. It has light reflecting particles so you don't look flat.

Make Up Forever HD Powder. This is a great finishing powder. It's translucent and gives you an airbrushed look. It's so lightweight that it's unbelievable.



Favorite Hair Products:

 Freeze It hair spray. So cheap and so great for poofing your hair. I have used this since high school and I seriously won't buy anything else.

Living Proof Full Thickening Cream. Before I starting using this I never put any products in my hair before blow drying because it would weigh my hair down. But this stuff is so different from any other thickening products. I highly recommend this to anyone with fine, thin hair.

Tesemme Heat Tamer Protective Spray. I use this before using a flat iron or curling iron. It works just as well as more expensive brands.

So there you have it! Those are my absolute favorite beauty products that have a permanent place in my beauty product collection. What are some of ya'lls favorite products that you can't live without?

Have a good weekend!!
