Favorite Products, Pt. I

I may try to keep things simple in the makeup department, but I do have a few go to products.

Favorite Products I by livingthemclife featuring a kiehls tinted moisturizer

Josie Maran blush – I got this as part of my Aria (see below) gift set and have completely fallen in love with it.  I use it on rushed days with my Keihls BB Cream.  It is perfect for that day you just want to keep it simple and fresh.  (big plus is that I love how it smells!)

Kiehls tinted moisturizer – This purchase came from a whim and exemplifies why I should never be left with a long layover in an airport.  I paid way too much for a product that I had never tried.  I am lucky that it is wonderful.  In fact, I think I am purchasing this again this summer.

Smashbox lengthening mascara – I have gotten so many compliments on this mascara when I wear it.  I cannot recommend this enough!
sephora.com

Clarisonic ARIA Sonic Skin Cleansing System – Pink Reviews – There is more to this story, but I am in love with this.  I use it two days in a row and two days off at night only.  My skin looks wonderful.  I do not use their cleanser, instead I use the one below.

Amazon.com: CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser, 12 Ounce: Beauty – I have VERY VERY sensitive skin and this cleanser is recommended by my dermatologist.  It works very well.

Weekend in numbers

5. Number of times I have gotten so freaking excited about my brother getting engaged!  Let’s just say, I am glad that he finally made his move!

4. Number of kids I babysit that I got to sing at church today during the children’s service.  I have to admit that I am mighty proud of them and how precious they are! They truly melt my heart!

3. Number of estate/moving sales that I went to this weekend.  (I am not counting the one where I decided it was not worth my time so I sat in the car while a friend went.

2. Number of hours spent piddling around Birmingham while waiting on friends to get keys to their new house today. Unfortunately for them, the old owners were running behind schedule, so they lost out on two helping hands. Fortunately for me, I found a pair of shoes at Nordstrom Rack and random stuff at world market. (Think Jaegerschnitzel in the near future…)

1. How much I paid for my new to me vintage Givenchy wool coat at the moving sale.  I am in love and look forward to the cold today for a change.

Iphone dump

We got a good amount of snow during work one day when were supposed to get nothing.  This resulted getting off work early and all day the next.  While I enjoyed the snow, I was glad to be going back to work.

Judge especially enjoyed the extra day with me at home.  Unfortunately, he still hates the snow.

My dad turned the SIX-O this month, which resulted in a quick trip to the mountains to celebrate.  While the trip was brief, it was fun.  I also was blessed to see another gorgeous sunset on the lake.

We had another snow storm, but luckily this time it did not cause any major disruptions.  I definitely think this year, I am OVER winter.  I was so grateful for some sunshine this weekend.

 

For Valentines day, the boy and I attended a local mardi gras club’s party.  It was the perfect way to spend valentines day.  We went to a pre-party with great food, including this dessert display with two types of chocolate covered strawberries and truffles.

 

The party was perfect with a great Motown band that was enjoyed by all.  I love an excuse to buy a new dress and this one did not disappoint.
While I lot has transpired since Valentines day, perhaps I will be back to update again!
