Snow days

I have a new appreciation of the snow!


Snowball fights with Lorelai :)


Sitting by the Christmas tree and watching the snowfall!



Watching Christmas movies in our pyjamas!




Hot chocolate :)



MERRY CHRISTMAS everybody :)

Something about this time of year!

Even with all the cranky shoppers and sales people, I can get back in my car listen to Christmas music and drive around to look at all the pretty lights and all the humbugs melt away! Hearing Lorelai in the back scream to the top of her lungs jingle "balls" also puts a big smile on my face!! Another good thing about this time of year is sweaters that feel like blankets!






I love this little girl so much:) this is her "cheese " smile lol every time I go to take a picture!

Proved wrong !

I've never ever spent more than 12 dollars for any kind of make-up before, I thought 10 dollars for a bottle of foundation was expensive and 8 dollars for one eye shadow was nuts! But my husband loves to spoil me ( no complaints there!!) One of my Christmas presents was a trip to Saphora (I have NEVER been there before!) Let me tell ya it's life changing, ok more like beauty products changing because once you get the good stuff your not going to want to go back!

This is the Laura Mercier tented moisturizer, it's the best light weight coverage I've tried! I normally don't wear make-up because I feel to done up and want to scratch it off. Not this stuff, I can't tell it's even on!

This one is where the magic happens! It's Laura Mercier mineral lose powder it makes my skin flawless almost! It's so soft!


The finished product





A few other products I love and can't wait to go back and get!

This Monday was pretty good actually, did some last min Christmas shopping (that's always good!) Our mall has this little train you can ride all around the mall and God forbid you steep in the mall without letting my daughter ride it! We have fun tho and she loves it so it's worth it!

Close enough right?!

I was trying to decide what to wear today and thought to myself you know those countless pins on pinterest that you never really do anything with, lets go through and see if I can finally use one! I think it's pretty close for being straight from my closet!

Here is the inspiration

I will never own a puffy coat (personal preference, anything's possible but I don't think they look good on me!) And here is my take!

Jingle bell rock

Party animals, we went to my church's Christmas party this weekend and Lorelai had so much fun she woke up the next day asking to do it again! She loved getting really dressed up and picking out her dress! Then on Sunday we baked Christmas cookies and she decorated the tree(well for a couple minutes until she gave up, them darn ornaments kept falling off!)

This is my favorite!



These heels make me super tall!


She really just kept licking the icing and eating the sprinkles!

Creepy or flattering?

As I'm walking through target I have this strange feeling someone's following me, I look behind me and there is two girls. I don't pay attention as I browse the clearance section and bam there they are again .... I start walking again and I hear (not quietly) "I can't help it when I see a really cute outfit I have to follow the person for a little bit" I just smiled a little and hid for awhile in the little girl's section! I liked my outfit today but I didn't think it was stalking worthy! I was even debating on posting it! So i figured this story was to funny not to, I do tho feel like something is missing from my outfit tho!






I did like my make-up today!

Some of my new found favorite things!

I was never one to buy a bunch of beauty products, just the basics. But as I get a little older I'm realizing that I need to take better care of my skin! As it gets closer to the new year it makes me happy I kept my new years resolution, NO MORE TANNING BEDS!!! I'm kinda liking my original skin color! So these days I'm using more than just shampoo to wash my face and I can see a BIG difference! Another thing that's high on my priority list of beauty products is moisturizer, I've always used this but not twice a day like you should! (Finding the right one for me has been challenging, some are way to heavy for my face I found olay complete for sensitive skin is perfect for me!)
So let's talk about how amazing this mia clarisonic face washer is! I have never felt my skin this soft and felt clean for hours! I'm currently trying the philosophy brand, I'm loving so far and excited to try more products! The lip balm I have pictured is called eso, never heard of it but my little girl grabbed it in line at the register and I decided to get it because it was organic but it has healed my dry cracked lips faster than anything and it taste so good (added bonus I don't have to worry to much about what I'm ingesting when I lick it because it's organic!) I'm addicted to this shampoo and conditioner it makes my hair so soft! I also use the oil that goes with it to make my hair healthier and stronger!


I would love to hear what your favorite beauty products are! Beauty stores are overwhelming to me, there's so much stuff to look through! I listen with a open mind to the people who work there because they are trying to sell a product but some genuinely want to help!

Your killing me smalls

Really 65 in December?! You think I would be use to this Ohio weather! Mondays are boring, and always bad. I don't know if it's me thinking they will be bad that turns them out this way, or if they are always just meant to be bad? Hopefully I see some snow soon, I really want to wear my new sweater! In the mean time it gave me a chance to wear my new flannel. I really love this flannel because it has tiny details that makes it stand out from my others! I mean come on it has elbow patches! I have so many heels and dress shoes but don't get to wear them very much anymore because they are a little hard to chase after a two year old in! So these wedged shoes are perfect to spunk up my outfit a little, plus they are very comfortable!

Perfect Saturdays go to fast!

I thought it was time to get the good camera out and have a mini photo shoot with my little girl! It's always fun to dress up and take pictures! Then after we went to the cheesecake factory for a very yummy dinner and a little bit of shopping! My husband spoiled me with a trip to ultra beauty (I'm in love with this store!) I got a few things that I will post in a blog later, it's always nice to pamper yourself once in awhile! Then I got home and my sweater I have been waiting for months to get came in the mail! It's beautiful and I can't wait to wear it!!
