At the moment.

I saw an inspiring post on a fun new blog I started following, life, as Ashlet , that inspired this post today!  I'm thinking of making it some sort of "series".  I'm not committed yet, so we'll see what happens.

:: Obsessing over...
this dress.
and time with my hubs.

:: Working on... 
giving up Diet Coke.

:: Thinking about...
this is a hard one... there's so much to think about.  Mostly the future.

:: Anticipating...
my brother's bday dinner next weekend.  Don't see that guy enough.

:: Listening to...
The Ellen Show.  She's a rockstar.  Speaking of, have you seen this?

:: Munching on... 
about to make some lunch.  TJ Corn salsa will be included.

:: Wishing...
the weather will be nice all week!

:: Thankful for...
my friends.  <3

Cupcakes To-Go.

To celebrate the end of a great season, I made these for my Cheer gals. After much thought about how I could travel with individual cupcakes, this is what I came up with.  These are the giant cupcakes, so a clear cup wouldn't work.  Target saved the day with these clear bowls (harder to come by than you would think!)  I hole-punched the edges of the bowls, then secured them with ribbon.  Crossing my fingers that they make it to the girls without toppling over!

Winning!



Life's a Journal is a blog I starting following after pinning some amazing fashion design boards on Pinterest from her blog.  This gal has an amazing sense of style, and is great at updating her blog!  I hardly ever enter giveaways, but when I saw this one for a $50 gift card to Sephora, I couldn't pass it up.  Good thing, cuz I won!  Below are just a few ideas of how I might spend the card-- if you know of any great products that you would recommend, please let me know!! Thank you, Life's a Journal!

Bare Minerals Clear Radiance: all over face powder.



Urban Decay Naked Pallete: eye-shadow palette.

Weekend.

J sent me this on Friday night when I was cooped up in the High School gym for the evening.  Sadie is super spoiled, but how cute is she??!?!

Yes, this happened.  Donut holes make you stop sneezing, no?!
(bizzare--while in line for said donut holes, I saw the people I sat with on Friday night through all 3 basketball games... now I know this is a smallish town, but whoa.)

I finally scored some colored cords! These bright red ones came from a thrift store for a whopping $3.  Not too bad for pants that I will probably hate in the fall-- but for now, I'm wearin' 'em proud.


Broccoli Cheddar bread bowl was shared.  It was a lazy weekend fo sho.
By Sunday, I did some baking.  More on that to come!

Hope you all had a good weekend!

Sparkles.

My husband tells me this mani makes me look thirteen.  While he very well might be right on target there, the sparkles are making me smile this weekend.  :)

February Birchbox.

My February Birchbox came last week, and as usual, it was super fun opening the box of surprises!  I must say, I'm not super excited about any particular item in this box, but I will still use each one.  

1. Daily Microfoliant Powder
2. Eye Rock Eye Liner
3. Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint (Favorite item!)
4. Juice Beauty Blemish Clearing Serum
5. Supersmile Mouthrise

Catching Up

It's been a little while since I've posted, but I've been stocking of some photos to share.  I'll start with how I spent yesterday off work, besides giving the dog a bath and doing about 10 loads of laundry, my afternoon was spent sneezing and blowing my nose.  I hate a winter cold, but I do love me a day off school. And the Today show.



 More Trader Joe's lovelies.  Anyone else tried this? Sugar, chocolate, coffe bean grinder = amazing.

 I snapped this on my way to work one morning this week-- which means I was running late.  Nice to see the sun!
Enjoy!
