I thought I would go through some recent purchases on Amazon and other online stores and share my old and new favorite products with you. These are my on refill products that I keep buying and keep using. Hope they become some of yours too! They are under $35 but half are under $10!
I sometimes dread the future, if I can be so blunt. I know there are so many things to look forward to, but I also am terrified of the heartbreak I'm going to feel as time goes on - things that just have to happen to everyone, losing loved ones (losing my dog has severely broken a huge part my heart), and I can't imagine life without my parents who have loved me unconditionally. Life is beautiful but has so many heartbreaks at the same time - and being strong is sometimes all we can be until our hearts heal...
Two things I learned while in Costa Mesa visiting Melayne.- I need to stop by Goodwill more often, and the Dollar Store is underrated. I also finished a book on my Kindle (really iPhone so the Kindle app) called The Year of Less: How I Stopped Shopping, Gave Away My Belongings, and Discovered Life Is Worth More Than Anything You Can Buy in a Store. The kindle edition is just $2 ...
Those products that you wished were created a decade ago, this is it! I worked with Upbra last winter and am happy to work with them again - I wore a strapless Upbra when I attended my friend's castle wedding in Canada. It stayed put all night comfortably - I didn't even have to pull it up! And it also gave me curves in all the right places for that little red number.
I spent five days with one of my best girlfriends in Costa Mesa. I've been going out every summer to visit her, usually 3-4 days and this time I did 5 but really at the end we looked at each other and were like, it should have been longer because it flew by - late nights watching TV, eating candy, chatting in the mornings taking it slow, getting ready and shopping, just doing life together at a slow calm pace was exactly what my soul needed - and my body needed Vitamin Sea and girl time to escape the 105 heat in Phoenix AND my week-long battle with pneumonia...
It's been six years of gardening and I've learned so much by attending local gardening classes but I still insist I'm learning. There are so many things to discover while gardening and lately since temperatures are rising I'm out in the garden around 8 am and a bit in the evening. It's important to go out every day to check what's going on - the other day ...
I have some news regarding what we know will be a slow home expansion - I bought another piece of furniture. Benjamin was involved this time. I whispered in his ear in church, "Can we swing by The French Bee after?" and he nodded. And welp, here we are with this coffee table piece...
We stayed in Bear Mountain in Victoria Canada. It was about 30 minutes from the harbor and if we did it again we'd stay downtown since we kept going back and forth but it worked out fine. I just wish I brought some hiking clothes so we could have walked around in the morning because it really was so beautiful, reminded me a bit of Flagstaff actually.
