Week Recap

Hey Y'all! This was a HUGE week for me! Not only did I have a birthday, but my Hubby did too! Everyone was so gracious about my birthday and really spoiled me with amazing presents!

 My amazing Husband bought me this pair of Hunter Boots. I LOVE them! I have really been obsessing over Hunter Boots for some time now and could never make myself buy a pair, so he did. I guess he got tired of hearing me talk about them :) Also, the day after my boots arrived it rained! Wahoo! I have never been so excited about rain in my life. It's actually rained everyday since then so my new boots are really getting a workout! If you've been back and forth on buying these boots, just DO IT!

My fabulous Parents got me this beautiful Kate Spade handbag and wallet. I haven't put it down since got it. It's perfect! And, it goes with everything. I also got inspired by all of Kate Spade's pink and black fabrics and made my nails match. It's super easy and cute. The black and white stripe nail is a decal from Jamberry and the pink is Sally Hansen. I've had SO many compliments on how cute they are:) If you haven't heard of Jamberry Nails, you are really missing out! Such fun colors and patterns!

Since we are working out and watching what we eat, we had a no cake birthday. I know, that sounds horrible! But, my Hubby got pretty inventive with one of our homemade Turkey Meatballs!

Yes, Yes! That's a candle in the Turkey Meatball! How cute, Right?!? It also was served with solo performance of the Happy Birthday Song!

By the way, these Turkey Meatballs were AMAZING! For the recipe head over to my Pinterest page. We added a handful of spinach to the recipe and also put them in a food processor before baking them. YUM! Thanks Siri for the recipe! ( I ask Siri everything!)

Even though I did not get any cake, I did treat myself to Starbucks, gift card courtesy of my Boss! My favorite is an Iced Skinny Carmel Macchiato!  

 

Enough about my birthday! This past weekend I did a quick DIY with my make up. Normally I keep all my make up in a make up bag and just dump it all out when I'm getting ready in the morning. Eventually I lose something or break something, which is depressing for a makeup junkie. So I found a couple of mason jars that I had recently bought from Kirklands (love that place) and got a bag of coffee beans and .........Voila!

Simple, Cheap, and Easy! A big bonus is that my bathroom now smells like coffee!

 

Here's a couple of Outfits of the Day from my Instagram account. PS, if your not following me already then you just don't know what you're missing (haha!).

 

 

 

I've recently been obsessed with watching all of these amazing make up tutorials online. My favorite is from Angela Lanter. Her YouTube, Blog and Instagram accounts are so inspiring! Go check her out! She's into contouring and highlighting and has great tips. Checkout my highlighting and contouring from Easter.

Happy Good Friday

Happy Good Friday! Can I just say that this week has been incredible?!?! For one, it was a short work week (Yay!). Also, I made two new best friends. When I say best friends I really mean makeup :)

 Best Friend Number 1: Ben Nye Cameo Luxury Powder- This stuff is AMAZING and very affordable! I know I'm pretty late to hop on the Ben Nye Powder train but better late than never. My highlighting and contouring skills just went to a whole new level because of this powder.

Best Friend Number 2: Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer- I seriously feel like I've been living under a rock because this concealer is not new. I actually like it better than my NARS concealer. The combination of the Cameo Powder and the Concealer are UNBELIEVABLE! Trust me.

Here's a picture of the duo from my Instagram (Go Follow Me!!)

Secondly, it's my favorite month of the year! Why? because it's my birthday month!! Next week I get two steps closer to becoming 30! EEKK!! Because it's my favorite month and it's Spring I created a style board full of my Top 12 Must Favs for Spring. Some of these cuties are also on my birthday wish list (fingers crossed that I get them:)

 

 

 I absolutely love Kate Spade! Her color choice and design just really speaks to me. Not only do I show you this gorgeous handbag (#1) from her collection but also an incredible watch (#7).

We all know that April showers bring May flowers so ladies we need to be prepared in style! Why not have a fun and cute umbrella (#2) to go with a super cute pair of Hunter Boots (#9)? I've been lusting over Hunter Boots for some time now and they are officially on my Birthday Wish List.

 (#3) and (#4) are the cutest scalloped shorts and I absolutely adore them! Not only do I love the scalloped edges but the paisley type print on #3 makes me smile.

It's spring so let's have fun with pretty pastel nails (#5). I'm currently wearing Sally Hansen Miracle Gel color Crème de la Crème.

 Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil Bronzer (#6) and Benefit High Beam Face Highlighter (#12) are apart of my daily make up routine.

Two items that make an appearance on me daily are my Monogram Necklace (#8) and Ray- Ban Sunglasses (#11) .

The last item on my list is a beautiful Seer Sucker Dress by Lauren James (#10). I love seer sucker anything. It's so adorable and very Southern.

For detailed information on each items head over to my Polyvore page.

Last but not least, the most import reason why this has been an incredible week is that we get to celebrate the fact that our Lord Jesus rose from the grave on Sunday!

Hope everyone has a blessed week! Don't forget to follow me on Instagram and Pinterest Also, follow the Blog! Happy Easter!
