What's In My Make Up Bag

How are my fav ladies today?  I'm having a slight case of the Mondays that can only be cured by eyeshadows, moisturizers, and my all time favorite lip glosses!  So you know I did some online sephora shopping to cure what ails me.  


Here are my latest and greatest finds to help you get over the Mondays :)

1.  Avalon Organics


Is an amazing line of organic skin care that you can buy at Publix (and if I have it at my Publix you have it at yours).  I am loving the whole line, truth be told, but my favorite product so far is the rejuvenating oil-free Vitamin C moisturizer.  I wear it at night with my everyday moisturizer and it does amazing things for my skin!




2.  Benefit Eye Brightener Pencil


These days and every day I am looking for anything to help tired eyes.  I love, love the eye brightener from benefit.  It is great to use in the corners of your eyes to make you look more awake and also to make your eyeliner really pop!  






3.  Water


So lately I've been drinking water.  Lots and lots of water!  It's because I've cut back on my caffeine intake so my substitute has been water.  I have to tell you that all those people who always tell you to drink water are absolutely correct!  I have seen a positive change in my hair and especially my skin.  It is clearer and more supple looking.  


I read an article recently that said if you weigh 200 lbs you should drink 100 ounces of water a day (or half your body weight).  This is way more than the 8 glasses of water I've always heard about but I tried it and am pleasantly surprised (ps I don't weigh 200 lbs it was just an example).  If you decide to do this don't blame me if you all you do is run to the bathroom all day.....you've been warned :)




4.  Ojon Volume Advance Shampoo


I am always on the hunt for a great shampoo and one that will give my fine/thin hair some lift!  I am loving Ojon's volume shampoo right now.  I love that it comes in a great travel size too.  It is also gentle on my highlighted hair but still gives me the volume I crave!

The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth

I don't really want to write this post.  I want to crawl in my bed, with the covers over my head and watch the real housewives of nyc seasons 1 and 2 (before Jill and Bethenny hate each other).  I don't want to talk to anyone, see anyone or answer my phone.  In fact it's been on silent for the past three days.   I am writing this post because I started this blog as a living, breathing diary.  It is a fluid documentation of my life and what is going on right now.  Unfortunately what is going on right now isn't a fun trip, a great product recommendation or a great style entry... it is real life.   This week something sad happened to me and the hubs, we had a miscarriage.  I will tell you that I hate the word miscarriage it seems clinical to me.  What I have said is we lost the baby because that is how it feels to me.   Without boring you or scaring you with too many details I knew something wasn't exactly right.  I started bleed...

I'm Jealous Of My Husband

I have to be honest I almost didn't publish this post.  This is a real and raw post.  I finally hit publish because I figured I couldn't be the only one feeling this way. I will tell you I didn't know I was jealous of Matt at first.  I knew I was angry, resentful, overwhelmed and afraid.  As a wife and mother the to do list seems never ending.  Whether you work or not being a mother is one of the hardest jobs, if not the hardest job on the planet.   Matt and I are blessed to both have fulfilling careers and therefore we have someone who helps us 5 days a week.   For a long time I felt bad for being a working mother.  I've made my peace with that.  I am now thankful instead of guilty.  It was a long road but I'm in a good place with it.  I'm not saying that from time to time I don't wrestle with working and being mother but on the whole I am comfortable with my choice.   So when these feelings started c...

A Sad Season

I have to tell you that these past few months and perhaps this year have been hard and yes sad.  My mother told me when we were talking about it that I was experiencing "a sad season" and I have to agree. Now this doesn't mean that everything has been awful, sad and terrible.  I haven't been in bed for weeks at a time with the covers over my head watching trash tv.  Instead I feel like it has been one of those times were the hits just keep on coming.  The bad news just keeps rolling in like ocean waves.  It has been a time of tremendous loss and sadness.  The events that have occurred aren't the same but it felt like every time I would get my ahead above water something else would happen.   It has been difficult because there are happy times mixed in to all of the sad.  In those times of happiness I have genuinely tried to be in the moment but my heart wasn't in the right place.  My heart has not felt happy and there has been an undercurr...
