Things I didn’t share Friday (6-14)

1. As I was cleaning the other day, Saved by the Bell was playing on television in the background. It was the episode where Slater’s pet chameleon Artie dies, and Mr. Belding organizes a school wide funeral in his honor. Seriously, how did I not realize how ridiculously cheesy that show was when I was younger? Don’t get me wrong- I’ll always love that show regardless of the extreme cheese factor. In fact, that’s probably part of the reason why I do like it so much! After all, I am a giant cheeseball...

My summer essentials

Since I did a post on my spring essentials, I figured that it would be fun to do a summer essentials post as well. As always, I use the word “essentials” very loosely. I surely won’t suffer without any of these things, but I certainly wouldn’t mind owning all of them! Summer straw hat (J. Crew) Mint green shorts (GAP) Striped halter tank bathing suit (J. Crew) Coverup swim dress (Target) Abigail sunglasses (Coach) Farmer’s market tote (J. Crew) The Sonny sandal (Madewell) Bikini So Teeny nail polish...

My May Cara Box reveal

My May Cara Box arrived yesterday from the lovely Jessica of Preppin’ Postgrad! (If you’ve never heard of Cara Box before, you can see an explanation from last month’s box reveal.) The theme from the month of May was “regional”, so Jessica sent me things from her area of the Carolinas. As a fellow Carolina girl myself, I naturally loved everything in my box which included: Lots of lemonade and iced tea Cheese biscuits Roasted peanuts Essie nail polish in Butler Please Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in...

My favorite blushes

When it comes to makeup, I have two major weaknesses: lip products and blush. After counting up how many lipsticks and lip glosses I own, I’ve put myself on a temporary ban from buying any more. I seriously don’t know how I accumulated so many, especially since they all seem to be so similar. Anyway, a ban on blush is probably in order too, but I don’t want to get too carried away. 1. Tarte Amazonian clay 12-hour blush in Exposed 2. Tarte Amazonian clay 12-hour blush in Dollface 3. NARS blush in Orgasm 4. NARS...

Things I didn’t share Friday (4/19)

1. While we were at Music on the Green on Saturday night, a ball kicked by some children playing soccer nearby randomly hit MT right in the head. (Thankfully, it just missed the baby!) I probably shouldn’t have laughed as hard as I did- or at all- but I just couldn’t help myself. Luckily, MT has a good sense of humor and didn’t seem to mind how entertained I was by the whole thing. 2. Whenever we go to Skillets, I usually take one of the green mints at the register because I love them so much. It always...

Product Rave: Tarte BB Tinted Treatment 12-Hour Primer

I realize that I just did a beauty favorites post (and still have yet to post my healthy favorites), but I simply could not resist sharing my latest beauty discovery with you. (Sephora $34) This stuff is amazing. Amazing! As I mentioned in my last beauty favorites post, I’ve been going lighter on the makeup lately, and I have been using my Origins VitaZing moisturizer nearly every day rather than a foundation. I really love that product because, even though it is a moisturizer, it offers a tiny bit of...
