Beauty Faves for Summer

Happy FRIDAY and Memorial weekend!!!!

We don’t have much going on this weekend.. just the Farmer’s Market, probably some pool time and then church on Sunday!!! Easy and simple.. how I like it!!!

I have had a bunch of awesome coupons and gift cards to Nordstrom and have been hitting the beauty department hard! I love a good beauty product :) I have tried some beauty products out and thought I would share on the blog!!!

Everything is linked below! 

1. THIS eye brightener is life CHANGING! I posted a little bit about it on my Instagram story but I am in LOVE! Basically this product “ wakes” up your tired mama/working girl face! You dab a little bit of the product in a triangular shape underneath your eye frame and then gently dab it outwards until well blended. For my summer look and also since we are constantly back and forth from the pool, working out, outside.. I typically only put on concealer, SPF BB cream, bronzer, and a SPF lip gloss. Thats it! This duo pack also comes with a nice little eye primer that helps your shadow stay on longer and NOT crease!

SHOP HERE

2. THIS lip scrub is great for dry, cracked, and dehydrated lips. If you are a Lip Sense girl or like to wear Matte lip stains this will definitely help to rejuvenate the mositure that those stains tend to suck out. Ever been kissed by someone with flaky lips?? Um yeah. GROSS. This stuff helps that NOT to happen :) 

SHOP HERE

3.  Yep, I am going to talk about it again. I am OBSESSED with my Evian Facial spray. I am not kidding it makes a difference in your skin!!!! Spritz a little of this toner on your face all day long for hydrated skin. If you are at the pool, spritz a little bit on so your face doesn’t get that dry and tight feeling. I keep it in  my pool bag, diaper bag, regular bag ( ha when do I carry that?), and in my car. It is amazing!

4.  Dr.Dennis Facial Glowpads

These are a great product HOWEVER...and really listen to me when I say however, you MUST wear gloves while applying this product. Maybe some of you are reading this and thinking “ Well duh?!!!” 

well for some of us that didn’t occur so I had orange hands and fingers as well as a nice little face glow. 

also...USE SPARINGLY!!!

one pad and a few quick swipes to ensure full coverage is all you need. 

Most of us are wearing a hat or SPF in the summer because #wrinkles so this little face pad is a nice way to get a sun kissed look without going all sun crazy.

SHOP HERE

5. Lastly what is a beauty post without some LIPGLOSS :) 

I have recently started wearing the Lipsense Lipsticks that are LONG lasting and beautiful on!!

I will admit it took me a few tries to apply it properly but once I did I loved it!!! I was actually not wearing any lip gloss because I would hate to see it rubbed off on my poor baby’s head.  I was always the girl with the lip gloss party all over her wine glass..and on my water bottle. This stuff does not come off! I am going to become a distributer and am very excited about that fun little endeavor. In the meantime contact your local Lipsense distributor ( they are all over Facebook) and try out a color!!!

always add a glossy gloss to set the color in and you will look gorgeous all day!!

The two colors I started with were Pink Champagne and Plumeria.

Have a great weekend!!!

Memorial weekend Recap and “ What’s in your summer beach bag” Up next!!

Favorite Spring Products

Today I am talking about SPRING!!!


Spring has Sprung and is in full force.. it is a good 90 degrees here in San Antonio and I have started to put away my jeans and haul out ( and dust off) my shorts. Last summer I was pregnant so I have a TON of cute summer maternity clothes, but it has been awhile since I have shopped for my post baby body.

This month also marks my BIRTHDAY MONTH :) yay!! I love a birthday!

Here are some of my favorite spring products as of late.. I plan on doing a spring baby product post later on!


1.  EVERYTHING LOFT 

They have an extra 40 percent off your ENTIRE PURCHASE going on right now too

Think whimsy, fun, and springy dresses :)




How cute is this for a Mother’s Day Brunch??

Shop HERE


or




This dress would be perfect for a shower, cute afternoon event, or just to run around in. I bought This exact dress and plan on pairing it with cute red flip flops and green earrings!!!

Seriously loft has SO many cute options right now check out their site..

dresses not your thing?



How about a romper?? THIS exact romper would be SO cute paired with YELLOW!!! the possibilities are endless with this.


2.  Bath and Body Menthos Lip Balm and Hand Moisturizer

find products HERE

This watermelon hand creme and matching lip gloss were a last minute “ add to cart” item when I was ordering my favorite candles. I don’t typically use hand creme but being a mom and washing my hands constantly, they tend to get dried out. This is the perfect tube of creme to stick in your purse or diaper bag and it smells amazing!!!!

Now, the lip gloss is AMAZING! I am pretty picky about lip gloss..especially when I am putting on a full face of makeup..but lets be honest..a full face is somewhat rare. I mostly slap on some gloss when I am running out the door to workout, go to the grocery store, or run a quick errand. The lipgloss is tinted in different colors and gives that tingly feeling for some lip plump! The watermelon is always my go to scent for summer so that is the one I ordered.

Right now they are buy 1 get two free!!! 

3. VOLUSPA CANDLES

Shop HERE



I have been burning these candles for years, my go to spring/summer candle is the Goji Orange..and fall is the Baltic Amber.. They are so refreshing, they burn forever, and they do not SMOKE! Love them.

4. PJ SALVAGE

Link to shop HERE

PJ salvage and I are besties. I have worn their jammies pretty much forever. They make great lounge clothes, comfy sweats, and cute prints for pajamas. I bought the exact version below with the matching tank ( not shown). They have a TON of cute spring prints out right now!

5.  Evian Facial Water

Shop HERE



THIS is a great product for upcoming spring/summer. It is wonderful and easy to toss in your pool bag, diaper bag, purse or whatever! During the hot months ( IN TEXAS WE START WITH HOT.. ABOUT MARCH) our faces are constantly getting dried from the sun, being outside, wearing makeup..whatever. Along with a great skincare routine, I love to keep my face hydrated with this stuff. I spritz it on after a great workout, being outside all day, or when my face just feels dry or tight. It keeps it fresh and hydrated which is what we all need for that youthful looking skin :)


These are my few favorites for spring!

next up.. spring favorites for Baby!!!!

A Few Favorite Things....

Beautiful weather over here in San Antonio! I have been loving every bit of it ( except the allergies that have been attacking my husband and baby!) lots of time spent outside and in the stroller thats for sure!!! These are some of my absolute FAVORITE things right now!!

 Our #PROJECTHANDPRINT for April happened a little earlier just because it was a slow and easy day and we needed something fun.. and crafty to do! I LOVE how these are turning out :):)

We had family pictures the other day and I am in love with how sweet they all were! I love my little family so so so much. Definitely a favorite

A mommy and her baby boy

Like I said, beautiful weather has been lingering here in San Antonio and we are loving it!!! On this beautiful day we went to the club with daddy to watch him hit balls. 

Aunt Joanne came and stayed the weekend with us! She had her wine and I gave her a tour of our new property and homesite

Visit from Aunt Joanne

Definitley a favorite : ACAI bowls. Has anyone else tried them?? Our yummy juice spot #URTHJUICE sells these amazing healthy bowls and I could eat them ALL DAY!

I started a fun project literally LAST NIGHT. I got a wild hair around 4 PM and ran to Target and Home goods and then POOF. Project began. I am Kind of crazy like that but lucky for me my husband rolls with it...and also plugs all of my holes I make in the wall :)

Looking SO SO cute

Ta - Da!!! 

I made Jaxie his own little playroom upstairs. Since we are most likely going to be able to STAY in our current home while our new home is being built ( SOOO EXCITED ABOUT THIS)  I wanted to make him a space where his toys could go and we could play together

I got the print from Home Goods and I made the letters myself

SO CUTE! Perfect Space

Found these cute little Car themed Tubs to match the picture at Home goods 

Notice my millions of holes :)!!! haha!! Above the couch I play on hanging all of his artwork

I also plan on making a big book shelf once we get rid of the entertainment center that is blocking the wall on the other side 

I know I have posted about Kate Somerville’s products on here before, but her mega-c serum is literally life changing!! I started wearing it literally 1 week ago and my face is radiant! The collagen is plumper and my face holds more of a glow to it. I am in love! You can shop this exact product HERE or all of her products  HERE

These are a few of my favorites right now!!!
