Weekend Plans and Some Fun Finds

The hubby is working some long hours this weekend so I get to enjoy a little "me" time over the next couple of days. Besides continuing to get our house organized and get some final boxes unpacked, I'm planning on enjoying this down time.

I picked up some reading material at the book store:

Nothing mind blowing but the perfect chick-lit for the weekend. I love kicking back with a good book and hopefully if this rain holds off, I can relax by the pool with one of these books in my hands :)

A mani/pedi is much needed:

I've had this Essie color ("Fiji") for awhile now so I think I'm finally going to give it a go. 

And now for some fun finds from this past week:

Thank you Anthropologie for this delightful bubble bath and jar of bath salts... they smell divine! I also got a large bottle of soap for the kitchen. I'm kind of obsessed with this stuff!

I discovered this new candle after randomly visiting an antique shop- I walked in and the store smelled so yummy! This scent is "Praline Caramel Sticky Buns" by Keepers of the Light. And... if you're ever in the Winter Park area of Orlando you must stop into the store "French Nest". It is a tiny shop and literally only takes a few minutes to walk through the entire place but it is full of awesome vintage finds. I'm in the process of convincing B that we need a dining table from there as well as a guest bed and a beautiful mirror. They are in great condition and sooo affordable and I love that there is some history behind these pieces of furniture. I am fascinated by antiques and find them so interesting. 

The hubby and I are really enjoying the Sunshine State and getting to know the city more. We love exploring new stores and restaurants- this is us on our way to a dinner date last night. I feel so extremely blessed :) 

Happy Friday!!

Fun Finds

Happy Monday y'all!

It's a beautiful, sunny, fall day up here in Connecticut and I am loving that my hubby has the next 2 days off!

Wanted to share a few fun, beauty finds:

This is my new favorite primer. I received a sample of it with an order from Ulta and I fell in love. I immediately went and purchased this item. It is so light and really does give your skin a smooth, photo finish.

Smashbox

If you're a southern gal, you understand the importance of adding a little extra boost to your hair. No one in Connecticut seems to understand how vital this is, haha ;) This little brush gets the job done. And... it's only $5. Does it get any better?!?! I will definitely be looking into some of their other items.

Spornette

This set of brushes works wonders and makes your skin look flawless. If I had cash rolling out the bank I would love to invest in an airbrush make up set but this gal works on a budget and these brushes give a similar effect. These typically run close to $150 but the set is $65 at Sephora and $50 on eBay.

Sephora

What's more fun than a few Pinterest finds?!?! I love that site... maybe a little too much. I may need a Pintervention soon, haha ;)

Have a great day ladies!

Fun Finds

Hello ladies!!

I hope everyone had had an awesome Memorial Day and enjoyed their long weekend... I know I did ;) Sunshine, pool, friends, family, cookouts, game nights, movies, shopping... the hubs and I had a blast!!

Here are some finds that were recently added to my makeup bag and closet...

Too Faced lip gloss in "Barely Legal" and "Peek A Boo".

LOVE!!

Michael Kors Leg Shine

I picked this up while perusing Sephora. I used it for the first time last night and this lil' stick is amazing. Perfect for summer!! Adds just a hint of shine and sparkle ;)

Too Faced Primed and Poreless w/ Bronze Tint

Love this primer and I love that it adds a touch of color.

"Hold It Right There"

This fun bottle is from Bath and Body Works... so great to throw on after a day in the sun. It smells yummy and it makes your skin so so so soft. It helps keep your tan longer and reduces any peeling.

They used to have this product and then it was discontinued for a bit. This is the new packaging.

And lastly... a lil' shopping at J. Crew. Lots of goodies are on sale.

I stocked up on my favorite tee... "The Perfect Tee".

I love these tops... perfect with jeans, skirts, under a cardigan... you name it!

Fun weekend but... time to get back into the grind of things. Only 4 more weeks until B and I are headed to CT... SO much to do. My week is packed with finalizing lots of things and organizing our place.

Have a great day y'all :)

Fun Finds

This gal is Sicky McSickerson :(

I woke up with a sore throat, coughing, and no voice!

Glad it didn't hold me back from doing some shopping this past weekend haha ;)

I love wondering aimlessly through the aisles at Sephora and Ulta. I go in with the intention of buying one or two items and I leave adding 500 more things to my wish list. Not good, haha!

Here's some things that I found this weekend that I'm really liking...

A girl can never have too much nail polish ;) I bought two new colors this weekend. Pink-ing of You by OPI and Barefoot and Topless by Essie.

I love when you're at the beach and you've been in the sun and ocean all day. Your hair gets that thick, texturized feel and my waves go on for days. This has all that in a bottle. LOVE!! It's called Beach Blow by blow. It's amazing... my sis got some too ;)

This item is next on my "wish list". Too Faced lip gloss in "Peek A Boo".

And... I'm in love with this perfume. A girl can never go wrong with Chanel!

A few blogs ago I was stressing about closet space in our new apartment. Slowly but surely we are coming up with some solutions. Thankful!

B and I have decided to sell our dresser so that we can get this:

We're getting this new dresser so that it matches this:

Perfect to hang my dresses, skirts, and hang a shoe rack. My pj's and other lady items will go in the drawers below. All that's left in the real closet... my shirts and pants. This frees up A LOT of space for B to store all his clothes... yay!

While doing some browsing on IKEA we found a new couch for our place and a new coffee table. All reasonably priced. But.. we're only getting these if we sell our couch and coffee table that we have now. What we have now just won't work in our new space... BIG funiture, small space. We're happy with we've found and know that we can utilize it wherever we move next and once we buy a home.

I absolutely adore IKEA. They really have everything! I'm excited since there is one only a few blocks away from us, in CT.

I'm sure my "wish list" will continue to grow ;)

Happy Monday y'all!! This girl is going to take a nap and take some meds ;)
