OOTD: ten year class reunion

Hey Guys!
Happy Sunday! I thought today I would give you the breakdown of what I wore to my husband's 10 year class reunion. This was a bit of a challenge for me because I have never been to a class reunion before so I wasn't quite sure what to wear. So I did what any level headed lady would do I perused pinterest like it was my job until I found an outfit idea I liked and let that inspire me to do some shopping, and low in behold the picture that inspired me had me shopping in my own closet (gasp! I know I didn't even know you could do that :) ) I kid that is what I mostly use pinterest for to help me style the clothes I own. This is proof enough for me that I am not a shopaholic as many (aka my husband) might suggest because I really do enjoy shopping my own stash! Anyway I decided to try a little pattern mixing and I went with this skirt, top and sandals. 



This outfit was just enough dressed up that I knew I wouldn't feel too out of place if everyone else was really dressed up, and if everyone was casual then I felt the sandals made it feel more casual it was truly a win win in my book. I bought the skirt and dress from different stores but they look like they were made for each other, the navy's match perfectly! 


It ended up being perfect because people showed up in all sorts of attire, and I felt comfortable because of the sandals yet put together which is pretty much my style goals to a T!

July Beauty Favorites

Heyo!

Ok, so for today's post I wanted to talk about my favorite beauty products for July. These are the standout makeup products that I have been loving this past month and have used almost everyday without fail that I wanted to tell you about in case you are in the mood to try out some new beauty products!

 
 
Here I am pictured using all of the products. This picture was at the end of the day I got ready this day at 7 am and picture was taken at about 6pm. 


This foundation has been my absolute go-to this summer! I have been wearing it everyday, its really light weight and you can't feel it at all which is great for the summer, and it doesn't look like you have a tone of makeup on. It gives you just the right amount of coverage for summer and really, lets be honest here, any time. The best part is you put it on in the morning go to work or about your day, and its still holding strong 9+ hours later looking great! I will do a full review on this coming up, but so far it has been the only thing I have been using for foundation the past month and dare I say it maybe a new holy grail for me.

 
This is the setting powder I have been using this month. Its Nyx Stay Matte but not Flat, powder foundation, and I love it for just that, it mattifies without giving you that really flat powdery look! It does a good job of keeping your foundation and concealer in place all day without getting too shiny in the summer heat. Its also great for touch ups throughout the day without getting cakeface from piling on the makeup :).

 
This has been my go to concealer for spot correction and extra coverage areas the past several months, and like the products before it, it does a great job of lasting the whole day and holding up in the humidity!

 
This Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer is an amhazingg under eye concealer I cannot say enough about it is just phenomenal in my book. It covers up dark circles like a dream (or really like the dreams you missed out on having due to late nights and early mornings or just because its Monday, Tuesday Wednesday etc. :) ). It does not crease or settle into fine lines and because of that rarity I think its worth every (sort of) expensive penny. 


 
This little guy here has been my highlight of choice this month and considering he's from physician's formula (available at any drug store!) he is very affordable. This color is in translucent pearl and gives the perfect "summer glow" or even "fall glow" or possibly even a "winter glow" if your into that sort of thing :). You can add him to your cheekers, lippers, eyes and wherever else you fancy putting him for a little shine and glow! 

 
Almost to the end here, this loreal mascara has been the best thing for me since, well all the other makeup I previously listed :). I use this on my bottom lashes and it is phenomenal at its job of making my lashes black and look longer without getting on my under eye area. Which is the real reason why I love him you see any mascara who stays where they are supposed to be, on my bottom lashes, is a friend of mine and will get honorable mention whenever I mention such things!

 
And for the real show stopper I give you this benefit mascara, which is a mystery unto itself you see with this little guy you can just throw out your eyelash curler and save yourself a few precious moments in the morning. Because of some innovation with his brush that I don't understand the wand actually curls your lashes as you apply the mascara! I know crazy you can thank me later for the few extra moments every morning you get to sleep in, play with your kiddos, or eat your breakfast. Your welcome. No compensation necessary :).

A case of the Mondays


Hey Guys!

Hope you had all had a great weekend! I wanted to do a quick weekend recap for you all. It was my husband’s 10 year class reunion at our home town, and oh my did we have a good time. It was so great to see old friends. Some whom we have not seen in years, and spend a night out on the town (thanks to nana daycare!). One of the best parts of the evening was flipping through old yearbooks and laughing about how much we had all changed (thankfully!), how is it possible that 10 years has already gone by!?

A quick family photo before mommy and daddy went out for the night (outfit post to come). This little boy is the happiest and the smiliest little boy until you put a camera infront of him and then he immediately stops! Oh well someday will get a good one for now you can still appreciate his cuteness with the look on his face!




Enjoying the front porch heat with a little diaper nap on nana's lap. Everytime he is in his diaper I am reminded how much he has grown, its crazy now to think back to him as a 7 pounder!



After spending the night away from him (only a couple hours actually, lets not be that dramatic) I was so excited to have him back in my arms!


 We ended the weekend by having a nice quiet sunday night at home with our little family. I may or may not have watched bachelor in paradise, I'll never tell. Until I post about it next week.

Lastly we got ready for bed and assumed our favorite sleeping postion of sleeping on daddy until it is actual bed time! That little face though! I can't help but thank God for picking me to be his mommy and I am reminded of what a beautiful life this life is! Thanks for stopping by and please come back soon!

What I wore Wednesday


Hello,

 So we meet again, it was nice of you to stop by! Can you believe I have posted three days in a row this is a record not to toot my own horn but ya know toot toot.  I am a big fan of Wednesdays you see they are my 5th favorite day of the week. I’ll revel my other favorites to you later (nothing like a little suspense to keep you coming back for more) ;). So today I was feeling the mostly all white vibe with blush tones I just love this color scheme it makes me feel oh so summery and the rule of thumb in this part of the country is embrace the summeryness (that’s a word ok!?) while you can because it is fast and fleeting and I follow all the rules, whether I make them up or not. Anywho thanks for stopping by and come back again as I promise I am here to say this time and you’ll just have to keep coming back to keep me accountable!

The Bachelorette Finale Recap and OOTD


Hey guys!

Happy Tuesday! Did anyone catch the bachelorette last night!? I know, I know it’s so staged, and none of the relationships ever work out (except in 2 ½ of the couples; Jason and molly only get a half because he technically didn’t pick her) but I just enjoy watching it! I don’t know it’s just funny and entertaining and I am not required to think for those two hours which let’s be honest can sometimes be welcome after a Monday back at the office. Anywho, the Shawn thing was a giveaway from the begining, bets on how long they'll last? I give them at least until the next bachelor errs. And as for Nick well he is a pro at this getting dumped on the last day so maybe he should think about writing a book and titling it “I made it to the end twice and no one still wants me, but I’ll probably be back next season”. Ah I kid I’m sure he’s a nice guy if you just forget the whole kissing and telling that he did on Andi. I leave this subject with one final question for you who will be bachelor next do you think? I am really pulling for Nick maybe then they’ll get him to stop joining the bachelorette not to mention can you imagine the type of people they would get to try to date him now that would make some ENTERTAINMENT!... On to the real reason you’re here the clothes! Alright here is what I wore yesterday I decided to try some mirror shots instead of the selfie stick so let me know which you guys like better. Thanks for stopping and come back and see me real, real soon ya hear!
