Country Chic

Have you tried this scent from Bath and Body? Heavenly!

I got this lotion from my sis, Jessica for Christmas {thanks, again!} and I simply love it!
{I had to get the body spray to go with it}.

If you are looking for a good everyday scent... this one is quite nice.

Why hello...

Our plans to go tubing/snowmobiling fell through today. Boo.

It was okay though, we got some things done at this here apartment of ours. 

So nothing exciting, just productive

However, these little pretties came for me today.

Thanks, Tyler Love.

Also, I was introduced to Zee Avi today. Love



and this one...

-Tyler is the better guitar player out of the two of us. I usually sing while he plays. However, I want to work on my guitar playing skills again. I always say this... let's see if it happens. I got a lot of work to do.

-I am thinking about going a caramel blond like Lauren Conrad. It seems like everyone dyes their hair dark these days. It would be fun to have a change. {I actually like the Ombre look... Tyler doesn't. If you are not looking cute for your husband, then who? So Tyler wins, no ombre}.

-Doesn't The Vow look like such a cute movie?

-Confession... Tyler and I stayed up watching some Justin Beiber movie on Netflix. It was a joke at first, then it became interesting. We are such nerds.

-I haven't read a book since I met Tyler. It's no joke. I read the first Hunger Games book a while ago and loved it. Tyler gave me the other two books for my birthday. They are such good books!

-It seems like everyone we know if having a baby. Seriously. Our ward is packed with the cutest kids you ever did see. Baby hungry? Sometimes.

-Tyler and I are thinking about running a half marathon with his family. I may need to run another 5K before then... but that would be something great to work towards. I have been wanting to do it for a long time.

-I bought a nail polish the other day called Vintage Gray. I am excited to try it out.

-I am anxiously waiting the arrival of my new black and hot pink running shoes that Tyler got me for my birthday. It will make running even better!

-I am excited for this weekend. We have some fun things planned. I love weekends!!!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Love you, dear friends!

Product Review: Maybelline Baby Lips

Image

Tyler and I went to a movie {of course} a month or so ago. Prior to the movie there was an advertisement for Maybelline's new product, Baby Lips.

My husband is marketing major and in his senior year, so lately after viewing an advertisement of some sort, he will critique it for good or bad., and I usually agree with him.

After watching the baby lips commercial he leaned in and expressed how horrible the commercial was. I replied with, "yeah? I actually want to try it". ;) 

I guess it worked on me. 

A few weeks later we were at another movie {yes, we go a lot... thank you cheapy theater} and that same commercial came on. "Here we go again", said Tyler.

I then heard the group of girls in front of us say they were all going to the store afterwards to purchase baby lips.

So there you have it.

As you have probably gathered, I did end up trying this. I bought the pink punch kind and actually love it {is this teeny bopperish?}.
It is a fun sassy pink shade, smells delicious, and actually does moisturize.

The other flavors sound equally as delicious. There is a red cherry color, a darker wine color, and the rest are clear. 

Kind of fun if you want to give it a try.

It is fun trying something new.

One Year Older and Wiser Too!

Made by my wonderful Tyler.

What a fun day. Aren't birthdays the best? 

Here is how I spent my day...

-Woke up to a "happy birthday" and kiss on the cheek from my Mr.

-Yummy breakfast made by Tyler.

-My parents came up and took us to lunch. They are so wonderful

-Tyler's parents came up and went with us to dinner.

-Cake {which was delicious}, ice cream, and kind presents with Tyler's family.

-Games

-Fun birthday messages all day long!

Thank you to all of you that made it special. Thank you especially to my dear husband. 

He's great. 

I didn't even know what to wish for when I blew out my candles. It used to be that I would meet the man of my dream. :) Check.

Valentine's Craft

Tyler planned a snowmobile trip with one of his friends, so I got to spend the day with two of my best friends, Tyanna and Melissa.  {LOVE you girls!}

However, due to a storm {the weather has been so weird here!}, Tyler didn't end up going... but he was a good sport about having the ladies over. :)

I don't have any fun decor for Valentine's Day, so we decided to make a little v-day craft { found on pinterest, of course}.

I found an old square frame, and spray painted it off white.

Then I covered the back board of the frame with burlap {that is a huge crafting trend right now}.

Then I made different sized rose buds out of red felt and hot glued them to the burlap.

It was super simple! You should try it!

Product Review: Revlon Photo Ready Foundation

Image

I usually buy a different foundation every time I run out. Meaning, I wasn't finding one that I liked. AND, I wasn't about to pay $50 for foundation... simply because we like to eat for our survival.

SO

Someone suggested Revlon's Photo Ready foundation... tried it, loved it.

There is a great color selection, it goes on so pretty and evenly, it comes out of a little pump {so neat and clean}, and it costs about $10.

I am a fan.
