Another week is done & Friday is finally here & I couldn’t be happier. This week the weather has been gorgeous & I have discovered some new favorite products. The first product I have been loving this week is the Pantene rescue shots. My hair has always been somewhat dry & because it’s so thin, I find it important to repair it regularly. Since trying the intense rescue shots, my hair feels so much softer, seems shinier & is looking healthier. I can’t complain about the price either, since a pack of three is under $5! The next product I decided to try & came to love this week is Neutrogena’s brightening perfector. I have always been a night owl & as a result, I struggle with dark undereye circles. I have tried several products in the past, but none have compared to the brightening perfector by Neutrogena. My eyes instantly seemed brighter & I have been using this product everyday this week. This will definitely remain a part of my daily makeup routine. The final product I used this week is Neutrogena’s nourishing brow pencil. Although I have never paid much attention to my light brows in the past, I decided now is the time to start. So far, I love the results & the quality of this brow pencil. It helps me make my brows appear fuller & I am loving it. These products are all so great & best of all- they are affordable & can be found at Walmart or Target! For me, that’s a win! That’s all of my favorites this week, Happy Friday y’all!

Okay y’all so usually I’m all about saving money & shopping within a reasonable budget. However, there are times that the temptation to splurge is SO real! This Spring, I have been purging my closet & buying new outfits to fit my evolving style. That means tons of rompers, overalls, jumpsuits, & maxi dresses are going to soon fill the closet. I can’t seem to get enough of the precious polka dots, leopard, & striped patterns that are currently trending. Also, I have my eye on an adorable pair of Tory Birch Miller sandals but the price is holding me back. Do you ever find yourself in a similar situation? Is there a certain style or piece of clothing that you like to splurge on? Don’t get me wrong, I love a good sale & shopping on a budget. Lately there are so many budget-friendly outfits on my wish list on websites like Amazon, Pink Lily Boutique & Closet Candy Boutique. Yet I still wonder if splurging would be acceptable if I get the most adorable sandals that can be worn all spring & summer long. What do y’all think?

Every morning I seem to be faced with the same question- what am I going to wear today? Am I the only one who stands in the closet, staring at the seemingly endless outfit options, trying to make a decision? Some days I know exactly which outfit I want to choose. However, other days I seem to be overwhelmed with the many options. Ever since I can remember, I have been obsessed with clothing, keeping up with the latest trends, & creating my own style. As I have mentioned before, I recently have become obsessed with rompers & jumpsuits. Last week, I found the most comfortable & darling overalls-styled jumpsuit at Target. The material is lightweight, the style is adorable, & it fits so comfortably. The army green color allows several options for styling this cute jumpsuit. It can be worn with tank tops, crop tops, camis, or plain tees. Yesterday on an outing with my husband to the local library, I wore this jumpsuit for the first time. It fit perfectly, I absolutely love the pockets on it & the color was just right. I plan to get more jumpsuits like this one for this Spring. Do you plan your outfit of the day or choose randomly? Do you like to wear overalls or jumpsuits?

For awhile now I have been following a weekly workout routine & it’s going well. On Tuesdays I like to do light cardio on the treadmill. I usually stay on the treadmill for at least thirty minutes. Lately, I have been walking for thirty seconds, then sprinting for sixty seconds. When I’m on the treadmill, I have found that it helps to focus on the tv at the gym to pass the time. One thing I enjoy about the treadmill is the cooldown process. There’s something about all of the walking & sprinting that makes the cooldown process seem so rewarding. It signifies the end of my workout for the day & helps to restore my heartbeat to a normal rate. Although I love the treadmill, sometimes I enjoy walking outside for exercise. Since Spring is here & the weather has been beautiful, I’ll be walking outside instead of using the treadmill on Tuesdays. The fresh air, light breeze, & blue skies will create the perfect peaceful workout environment. Where do you enjoy working out- the gym, at home, or outside? Do you use the treadmill? Do you prefer weight training or cardio?

One of my goals for 2019 is to eat healthy & maintain a healthier lifestyle. So far, I have been developing healthy eating habits. I challenged myself to refrain from eating at fast food restaurants, except for an occasional splurge at Chick Fil A or Subway. A few months into this new year & I have yet to eat fast food & I have only enjoyed Chick Fil A on a few occasions. For me, eating healthy is a preference & a choice I make daily. More importantly, it’s a lifestyle & one that I have been enjoying for awhile now. After years of eating junk food, fast food, & drinking more soda than I’d like to admit, it feels amazing to fuel my body with nutrients & good food. I have not had any caffeine in almost a year & finally have learned to crave & enjoy water. I love making healthy meals for lunch & dinner as well. Recently I have incorporated several new snacks into my life that are healthy yet satisfying. I love to have fruit, Skinny Girl popcorn, veggies or sweet potato & brown sugar chips as an afternoon or evening snack. In order to maintain a healthy eating routine, I like to hold myself accountable for what I eat or drink. It’s okay to indulge in a few cocktails or glasses of wine over the weekend or to have a dessert or not-so-healthy meal. Just remember- indulging is fine, in moderation. What are your favorite healthy meals? What is your favorite unhealthy meal or dessert?

It’s the first Saturday of spring y’all & the weather here is gorgeous! There’s something about this time of year that just makes me feel so alive. The sounds of birds chirping, seeing blue skies & feeling the warmth of the sun makes me so happy. Wherever you are, I hope the weather is beautiful & your weekend is filled with fun & good times. If y’all are able to get to the beach, enjoy every minute of it! I’ll be here in Louisiana sitting by the pool & daydreaming of days at the beach. Also, if y’all are interested in finding some good deals on swimsuits, Amazon has great options. I have also found some absolutely adorable swimsuits on Closet Candy Boutique’s website. These bikinis & one piece swimmies are all under $50! I don’t know about y’all but this girl can never get enough swimsuits! Also, if you need affordable swimsuit coverups, look no further than Amazon & Closet Candy Boutique. That’s all for now y’all, have a great weekend & enjoy this beautiful spring weather if you can!

Well y’all we finally made it to the first Friday of the Spring! I wanted to briefly come on here to let discuss a few things I have been obsessing over this week. First, I have discovered hair scarves & they look adorable with a variety of outfits. For me, the slightest detail or additional accessory can really complete an outfit. I think I’ll be wearing bandanas as a hair scarf as well as purchasing some on Amazon to wear this spring. I plan to wear hair scarves with a casual day date outfit or with denim overalls or a denim jumpsuit. This week I’m also loving white nail polish for the spring. It seems so simple yet chic & of course it will match practically any outfit! Also, I have been obsessing over my Target finds- so many adorable jumpsuits, shorts & dresses. If you’re shopping on a budget & love stripes, florals, or leopard print, Target is a great one stop shop! The last thing I’m loving this week is CeraVe eye cream, which I have instantly added to my daily skincare routine. This eye cream seems to help restore moisture & brightness around my eyes & I’m loving it! Have you started shopping for the spring yet? What are some of your favorite colors of nail polish in the spring?

As y’all know, spring is officially here & I couldn’t be happier! Since I was in need of some adorable new outfits, I took off & went to Target. There were so many darling options, tons of dresses & jumpsuits that I couldn’t resist. This year I am loving stripes & floral patterns. I found some adorable striped dresses & jumpsuits that I look forward to wearing all spring & summer long. I also got the most comfortable & darling striped shorts & a plain white tank to go with it. The tank is so soft y’all, I’ll be wearing this outfit to the beach or on day dates. I’ll attach a picture to this blog of this comfortable, casual outfit that is too cute. I also bought an adorable pair of sandals, a fabulous floral maxi dress, a striped jumpsuit & striped dress. In future blogs I’ll post pictures of these outfits, as I wear them. Do you like to shop for clothing at Target? What are your favorite patterns for spring?

Well y’all Spring is here & I couldn’t be more excited! Finally my favorite time of year & warm weather has arrived. This Southern girl loves the pool, beach & sunny days. Now that Spring has begun, I can start getting beautiful pastel or bright Spring nail colors. Since Easter is coming up & I have an adorable sundress picked out, I’ll finally get my favorite coral nail polish to match. In addition to bright & pretty nail polish colors, I’ll be shopping for a new Spring wardrobe. Recently I have discovered an adorable navy & white striped one-shoulder shirt (with a darling bow detail on the side) at Walmart for $26! I have also seen a precious colorful Springtime romper at Target online for under $30 & it would be perfect for a beach trip. Another place with some surprisingly cute tops at a discounted price is Old Navy. And of course I can’t forget Forever 21, which is where I found most of my sundresses last Spring. If y’all haven’t checked these places out online or in-store, it’s worth a click or a trip! I’m seriously so obsessed with the colors & precious patterns I have found on quality clothes that come at such low prices! Are you shopping for new clothes this Spring? Where do you like to shop? What are your favorite Spring colors?

Since today is the official first day of Spring, I wanted to talk about this super fun season. Although we didn’t have a super cold winter down South this year, I’m still so excited to start enjoying some warm weather. I’m looking forward to pool days & catching rays. I can’t wait to get some new swimsuits that I have found on Amazon that are budget friendly & absolutely adorable! This year I’ll be experimenting with new swimsuit styles, particularly high waisted bottoms or some one shoulder tops. Of course these styles may leave some tan lines, but a good self tanner can fix that! This Spring I’m super excited to wear rompers, sundresses, kimonos as swimsuit coverups & maxi dresses. Lately I’ve found great dresses & rompers on Amazon & at Forever 21. I’m also looking forward to wearing stripes, polka dots, & anything floral. And of course I’m going to be wearing my favorite bright colors, such as coral, turquoise & hot pink. Do you like bright or neutral colors? What are your favorite swimsuit styles? What are you looking forward to this Spring?
