Hello Friends

Wow talk about busy.  Phew!  We just moved into our brand new house!  I need to take some photos and share them with you when we get some more decorating done.  It's still such a mess.  We're settling in pretty well and I don't miss our rental home at all.  Being first time home owners is so amazing!  Such a dream having a loving husband, wonderful amazing baby boy, and a new home to call our own.  I feel truly blessed. 

Anyway, Gavin is 3 months old now.  Can you believe it?  He just started rolling over from his tummy to his back.  A big milestone.  I was just jumping up and down with joy.  His first attempt made him a little grumpy, but now he loves it!

Mommy I rolled over and I don't like it!  Waaaah!

3 months

Happy 3 month birthday bubba!

I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight... yay!  But I have a long way to go on getting my muscle tone back.  I just started Winsor Pilates at home again.  I haven't found anything else that I like as much.  Wish me luck!!

I started using this amazing self-tanner mousse by St Tropez.  It's a mousse and so easy to use.  It doesn't have that telltale self-tanner smell, which I love and it just glides on your skin.  It's hard to get off your hands so I suggest getting their self-tanner remover as well.  Along with my body, I want my tan back!  This stuff works!!

St Tropez Tan Remover

My new tan will look awesome with my new lace skirt I just picked up from Forever 21.  I haven't been shopping much for myself these days because my clothing sizes keep changing.  Plus, I want to shop all the time for baby Gavin and our house!  Cute though right?  I love lace done right.  So pretty and feminine.

P.S. I'm thinking about having another GIVEAWAY.  It's been a long time since I've done that.  Check back in soon!

Sephora my love

Ok I admit it... I'm completely and utterly addicted to Sephora.  If you don't live near a Sephora, then MOVE!  It's only the best makeup store ever.  Period.  I shop so much I'm a V.I.B!!  What does that mean?  Well, for every $1 I spend, I earn 1 point.  For ever 100 points, I get a free deluxe sample of some of their coolest products.  They're huge!  Perfect for traveling.  I have a massive collection of these.  Prevage, Dior, Lancome, DDF... just to name a few.  Anyway, I just wanted to share with you some of my all-time favorite beauty products.  I've tried many and I just love these.

Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner

My fav is bourbon.  It has the teeniest bit of shimmer.  Just lights up your eyes.  I buy tons of these.

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer

My color is sand.  I wear this on my cheeks, where my skintone is uneven.  I wear it over my moisturizer.  This evens me out perfectly.  And it's light, so great for summer.  The tube lasts SO LONG!

 

Tarte Cheek Stain

I wear blushing bride with my full makeup.  And blissful on my light makeup days.  Smells good, all natural, stays put, perfect color.  This lasts forever too.  Very pretty flush.

Korres Lip Butter

Jasmine is my fav.  My lips get really dry and this stuff is THE BEST.  I wear it all day and night.  My lips stay hydrated and they're always really soft and supple. 

Make Up For Ever Sens'Eyes - Eye Makup Remover

All my eye makeup is waterproof so it's pretty difficult to remove all of it.  And my eyelashes are so delicate, I can't risk rubbing them a lot.  This stuff removes it all magically.  This is what all the Sephora ladies use.

Bliss The Youth As We Know It - Eye Cream

Amazing anti-aging eye cream.  I'm 30 and I want to stay looking as young as possible for as long as possible.  This really helps.  The fine lines around my eyes... GONE.

First Aid Beauty Blemish Eraser

I still get the occassional pimple.  Hate them.  This stuff works and the best part is that it doesn't dry out your skin.  And there's nothing worse than a pimple with dry skin all around it.  Yuck!

Benefit Eye Bright

This fakes a good nights sleep.  It lives up to it's name!  I wear this below my eyeliner line and in the corners of my eyes, and right there on my cupid's bow (the v-shape on your upper lip)... makes it look more pouty.

Benefit Boxed Powders

I love this bronzer.  I wear hoola everyday!  This is great because it's light, so it's almost foolproof.  You look like you got a little sun and the box lasts a really long time.
